Fixed a crash when wolfgang drowns when working out on the gym

Today we have our next character refresh! We also have some new skins and a new short, new streaming drops, and the return of Winter’s Feast!

[h3]Don't Starve Together: The Incredible Strongman[/h3]
Wolfgang always prided himself on his strength, but after an embarrassing mishap reveals his might to be a touch exaggerated, he finds himself eager to accept any opportunity to get stronger… no matter how dubious the source.

[h3]Here are the details:[/h3]

• Instead of being directly connected to his hunger, Wolfgang’s forms are now controlled by a new Might Meter.
  
  • Filling the Might Meter requires Wolfgang to work out using one of his new craftable items
    
  • The meter goes down over time and the draining rate is determined by Wolfgang’s Hunger, the hungrier he is, the faster it goes down
• Wolfgang’s linear values are now constants
  
• Wolfgang freezes and overheats faster when in Wimpy form, but slower while Mighty
  
• When Mighty Wolfgang can carry heavy items faster. He does not lose Might while carrying heavy objects
  
• Mighty Wolfgang works faster when chopping wood, mining or hammering things
  
• Wolfgang is a more efficient rower when Mighty
  
• His speed no longer changes with his forms
  
• Wolfgang’s hunger and health are now at a maximum of 200 regardless of his form
  
• Wolfgang sanity rate changes depending on the number of friends and enemies in his company
  
• Deals more damage when Mighty and less when Wimpy. Also takes extra damage in Wimpy form
  
• Wolfgang can build a Gym Station structure
  
  • Player will need to use the gym to gain mightiness
    
  • Players can load the gym with different heavy items to change its effectiveness
    
  • Consumes hunger as players work out
• Wolfgang can craft a consumable Dumbbell item to restore his Might on the go. It does not consume hunger and can be used as a weapon

[h3]A note about this refresh[/h3]
When we started these character refreshes, we approached them by saying "This is what we're adding to a character to make people who like that character like them more. We made X more X-like". In this case, we knew (as many players suspected) that Wolfgang was going to need a bit of a nerf. Obviously, that's going to cause some friction, so we approached Wolfgang in a way that would focus his role and improve on the character fantasy rather than just doing what he already did but better. The result is a character that is more specialized and focused on being "The Strong Man" both in and out of combat. We're still certainly keeping an eye on feedback, but we'd like you all to give it some time and let us know what you think.
[h3]New Skins![/h3]

[h3]And last but not least[/h3]
We’re getting ready to head out for holiday break soon, and then we’ll be right back to get everybody ready for The Year of the Catcoon event! Have a wonderful Winter’s Feast everyone!

Wolfgang has spent his life striving for ultimate strength, and despite the all-too-frequent frights the Constant has thrown at him, it has also provided ample opportunities to put his muscles to the test. With a training regimen as challenging as the world itself, Wolfgang will prove just why he holds the title of “The Incredible Strongman!”

[h3]Wolfgang's character refresh arrives next week - December 16th.[/h3]

Here are some of the details:

• Instead of being connected to his hunger, Wolfgang’s forms are now controlled by a new Might Meter.
  
  • Filling the Might Meter requires Wolfgang to work out using one of his new craftable items
    
  • The meter goes down over time and the draining rate is determined by Wolfgang’s Hunger, the hungrier he is, the faster it goes down
• Wolfgang’s linear values are now constants
  
• Wolfgang freezes and overheats faster when in Wimpy form, but slower while Mighty
  
• When Mighty Wolfgang can carry heavy items faster
  
• Does not lose Might while carrying heavy objects
  
• Wolfgang is a more efficient rower when Mighty
  
• His speed no longer changes with his forms
  
• Wolfgang’s hunger and health are now at a maximum of 200 regardless of his form
  
• Wolfgang now takes a 25% sanity penalty from the dark and from shadow creatures, but if he is in range of other survivors that penalty falls back down to 10%
  
• Deals more damage when Mighty and less when Wimpy. Also takes extra damage in Wimpy form
  
• Wolfgang can build a Gym Station structure, which allows him to work out and increase his Mightiness
  
  • Players need to engage in a minigame at the gym and the amount of mightiness gained depends on how well they do at it
    
  • Players can load the gym with different heavy items to change its effectiveness
• Consumes hunger as Wolfgang works out
  
• Wolfgang can craft a consumable Dumbbell item to restore his Might on the go. It does not consume hunger and can be used as a weapon
  

Of course with the character refresh we will get a new animated short, Winter's Feast returns and we'll also have a new Twitch item, the Topsy-Turvy Treehouse and adding a bunch of previously released skins to Klei Rewards.

See you Thursday!

Changes:

• Mod authors: “version_compatible” from modinfo.lua has been updated to bypass the server out of date message. The server will now only announce being out of date if the current version on the server is not current and if it’s less than version_compatible. Current mods will need to be reuploaded if version_compatible is in use for the Steam Workshop to reflect the changes needed.
  

Bug Fixes:

• Fixed Boulder’s from going invisible when placed in the Pinchin' Winch.
