They did say it's going to be a big lumberjack zombie. So it's gonna look something along those lines. We already have a lumberjack. Maybe they're update the old mountain man zombie instead.

Joel (Madmole) said the new "Frostclaw" would probably look like a lumberjack or mountain climbing bad @$$, but I think that not much work was done at the time he mentioned it.
I would go with a mountaineer since we have a lumberjack already.

I hope someone from the TFP staff can convince Richard to post a work in progress image or two of the new Plague Spitter and Frostclaw on X or even here for a change?

Hello Survivors!
Today we have V2.3 b9 Stable for you.

This update covers several points we talked about in the Town Hall Stream. There are more changes to come down the line in later releases.
We have made all attempts to prevent the need for a new save game. We have tested on all platforms and have not seen any issues with existing save games.

TFP wishes everyone a ton of fun with the V2.3 update.

Note:
Storm frequency setting defaults to 0

This does not change the setting for current save games. As we are still working to improve the player experience with the storm system, we want new players to start with our upcoming version instead of the current version. We hope to get the new version out as soon as possible. Thanks for your patience!

I don't think I've ever seen a game updated so often in my life. Great job, TFP Team!
I'm actually hyped about the next update with beekeeping very much. It would be very fun if in order to craft an apiary you literally had to catch a swarm of bees that spawned from a stump.
 
The dedication to adjusting the game based on feedback is really what makes TFP one of the great game dev companies out here. 2.0 was a rough start, but watching the work get put in to bring it back in line with player expectations is above and beyond what you'd get elsewhere. Truly commendable.
 
What was the rationale behind removing the predator "wanna be" cloaking from the desert spitter? Don't mind either way, just curious.
 
I'd still love to know what the whole Honk Event aspect is for lol. Please tell me we are getting the ability to open Traders gates by honking at some point? Don't give a ■■■■ what Mods done, lots of QoL improvements could and should be in base Vanilla for us console peasants and future Survivors.

The increased loot bag despawn is greatly appreciated. For us who play on 120 minute days, this change is definitely welcomed.

But, more importantly, I can actually see out of a window and it not blackening the sky with N64 graphics 🤣 Now if it would stop raining through my roof/skylight.... One step at a time :)

I give a lot of ■■■■, and can be very critical, but I love this game with a tremendous passion. 2.3 obviously doesn't solve everything, or address everything, but it is steps what potentially could be in the right direction.

Now can we please fix the bs AI pathing of literally cheesing every single wall? More specifically, just targeting 1 bottom block. The crouching ability given has absolutely broken pathing. We all know it's bs that they literally only target 1 bottom block that essentially gives them double block damage for free. They dont even bother attempting to walk a few blocks over to a wide open entrance or even follow clear paths now (even more noticeable in exsisting poi). Just sayin...

Oh, and if it's insisted that Land Claim Blocks won't negate spawning inside its radius that we have to literally replace every ■■■■ block on the ground to a "player" block, then we better get grass as a paint option (among a more expanded list). Visual Aesthetics Matter, and my comfy cabin home to mansion villa should be able to have freaking grass 🤣
 
Anyone have a link to the roadmap. Thought it was under news/announcements but can't find it.
