Latest patch here with an invitation to beta test some new features.
We’ve been working on improving performance and have a few changes that should make things better. This should particularly help with severe lag in interiors. But some of the backend changes are larger than we are comfortable to just deploy. We have set up a beta branch that people can go to and help us test out the changes.
An added benefit of some of the changes, is that the interior system has opened up to the other worlds, not just Hamlet worlds. So if you bring the Key to the City, you can build a pig city in the forest or even on a tropical island. I’m sure there’s some interactions with all this stuff we haven’t predicted yet, so having some more people playing with it will be helpful.
We’ve also put player craftable doors in the home decor tab. Once you’ve build a door in your house, you can use a Construction Permit on it to create an attached room.
To access the beta branch:
Go to the BETAS tab in the Don’t Starve Properties dialogue.
Enter the code: dsinteriorbeta and press the CHECK CODE button.
Select hamet_interors - Hamlet Interior upgrade beta from the drop down.
Your game will then update to the new beta branch.
This branch uses separate save files from your regular base game. You can make a copy of your base game save files in the beta branch by using the console command: TheSim:ImportSave() Your save files will remain unchanged in your regular branch.
You can return to the regular branch by going to the same BETAS tab and selecting the drop down: NONE - Opt out of all beta programs.
Thank you in advance for everyone who heads in there to play. We plan to run the beta for 2 weeks if everything runs as planned.

New craftable Vortex Cloak added. You'll need to find a blueprint.

Cost of Root Trunk change, + 1 Flytrap stalk.

Don't Starve: Hamlet Roadmap
Hey everyone!
We've been very grateful for everyone's feedback on Hamlet's Early Access. Thanks again for all the time and effort you’ve spent writing your thoughts, opinions and bug reports.
This is our roadmap for Hamlet, which we anticipate to last until April:
Enhanced Seasons and Content
We’re going to be adding more to the seasons, adding new perks and challenges alike. Expect to see more content in every season, as well as a new boss creature. We’ll also be implementing multi-roomed homes, allowing players to build more elaborate abodes to stay in.
We expect this content to be launched in phases throughout March.
New Characters
Beyond Wilba and Wormwood, we will be adding two more characters to the cast: a globetrotting adventurer lost and alone, and a mysterious inventor who finds himself exactly where he wanted to be...
We also felt it’s been awhile since we added a new character for all our base game fans, so one of these characters will be free to all Don’t Starve owners!
These new characters will be launching with the release of Hamlet in April.
Bug fixes, tuning, and optimization
As usual, we will be working on a lot of bug fixes, tuning and optimization. We know that some of you have been experiencing performance issues in particular, and we’re working hard to solve as many of those as we can.
And with that, we will have completed our third expansion to Don’t Starve. Thanks again for playing the Hamlet Early Access! It’s much appreciated.
[Game Update] Hamlet - 309027
Balance/New features
Wormwood has an extra (short) anim when poop healing.
Compost Wrap heals Wormwood for more now.
Each world type (DS/ROG/SW/HAM) now has its own set of worldgen presets (to prevent incompatible presets from being applied)
Bug Fixes
Werewilba won’t be groggy in the humid season from her body hair anymore.
Werewilba can now eat food by selecting it and clicking on Wilba with it
Thunderbirds shouldn't unfairly target players anymore and ignore lightning rods at times.
Uncatchable Glowflies fixed.
Fix for the disappearing trawlnet (when full) in Shipwrecked
Werewilba’s health gets properly set on load
Werewilba can now Spelunk caves in Vanilla and RoG
Wilba no longer turns into Werewilba when removing the Silver Necklace after a full moon
Drying racks that burn will produced cooked versions of their item if they can cook, otherwise they will spawn a burning version of the item if they can burn.
Walking sticks and stalks can burn now.
Hammered dry racks will drop their item.
It should not be possible anymore to generate a world without seasons.
Wormwoods planted seeds will continue to grow after a load.
Werewilba’s light won’t go out when she’s struck by lightning now.
Falling things should not stay on top of a ruins fountain now.
Cleaned up some decoration conflicts with pig ruins generation.
[Game Update] Hamlet Character Update - 307715
The Character Update is now live! This update focuses on making our new Hamlet characters more interesting for you to play, particularly when playing outside of the Hamlet world.
Wilba has inherited one of her father's more colourful characteristics, namely, she now carries the same curse that inflicts all of her father's family with dreaded werepigism. Also, all of pigkind from Hamlet's town pigs to those of ROG will now recognize her as the king's daughter, and pay her tribute in the form of gifts.
We weren't very happy with how Warbucks was working out. While trying to find ways to make him work, we decided that he just wasn't as interesting as we would like, and so we've made the decision to start from scratch with a new character. You can still continue your Warbucks saves as his files will not be removed from the game, but he will no longer be in the official lineup of starting characters.
Instead, we would like to introduce to you our new character, Wormwood! Who knows where this creature of nature came from, but he'll likely grow on you.
Thank you for playing, and we look forward to hearing your feedback!

Quality of Life Update Available Now!
Welcome to 2019 everyone! We start the new year with an update that brings several nice and fun features from Don't Starve Together to regular Don't Starve. These additions were added to the base game and all DLCs.
Beefalo taming and riding (Saddles, Brush, Saddlehorn)
The Ewecus (for Steel Wool)
Fences (Gates and Walls)
Bundles (and Wax Paper and Bee's Wax)
Mini signs (and the Feather Pen for writing)
Action Key ability while holding an item on your cursor
Trap pickup using the action key
Along with these additions, the artists took some time to do a visual color pass of Hamlet. Some changes are larger than others, like seasonal tints and the new background color, and others are smaller, like the claw palm leaf color.
As well, controller support was improved when interacting with interiors and interior decorating.
What's Next?
We would like to revisit Warbucks and Wilba. We think both characters could be improved so that they are more interesting to play outside of Hamlet. Watch for the new and improved Wilba and Warbucks as they try to stick to their new years resolutions to become better rounded on Feb 7th.
