That's right, the latest enhancements to the Don't Starve experience are aptly named "Progress!". As of today you will be able to take advantage of a bevy of new features. Here's a small sample. For the full list, head over to our forums to discuss.
Escaping:
You can escape the world by finding... things... and doing... stuff with them.
New Research Method:
Under the new research method, you unlock access to tiers of recipes by building research machines. This is a big change, so we've made it optional when you start a new world.
New Character:
Wickerbottom the librarian can be unlocked with XP. She gets a bonus research tier, because she is so smart.
New Creatures:
There are baby beefalo. You can eat them, if you are a terrible person.
Disgusting worm mouths are sprinkled throughout new worlds. I dare you to click on one!
There is a new, elusive herbivore that you can hunt. He is hard to find, and harder to catch. He drops some unique loot and lots of meat.
New Craftables:
You can build three types of defensive walls (straw, wood, and stone).
You can make wooden floor tiles and place them like turf.
You can make a boomerang and throw it at other creatures.
You can build a pitchfork, which takes over turfing duties from the shovel.
You can craft a nice, comfy summer vest. How dashing!
AND MORE!
There are a ton of other fixes, tweaks and enhancements. For the full break down, check out this most informative forum post.
