#Dont starve together story update

Toxic substances from farms, towns, and factories readily dissolve into and mix with it, causing water pollution. It’s also why water is so easily polluted. It’s the reason we have Kool-Aid and brilliant blue waterfalls. Known as a “universal solvent,” water is able to dissolve more substances than any other liquid on earth. Water is uniquely vulnerable to pollution. Water pollution occurs when harmful substances-often chemicals or microorganisms-contaminate a stream, river, lake, ocean, aquifer, or other body of water, degrading water quality and rendering it toxic to humans or the environment. To better understand the problem and what we can do about it, here’s an overview of what water pollution is, what causes it, and how we can protect ourselves. Still, we’re not hopeless against the threat to clean water. But while most Americans have access to safe drinking water, potentially harmful contaminants-from arsenic to copper to lead-have been found in the tap water of every single state in the nation. Sip a glass of cool, clear water as you read this, and you may think water pollution is a problem. Without action, the challenges will only increase by 2050, when global demand for freshwater is expected to be one-third greater than it is now. Meanwhile, our drinkable water sources are finite: Less than 1 percent of the earth’s freshwater is actually accessible to us. Unsafe water kills more people each year than war and all other forms of violence combined. This widespread problem of water pollution is jeopardizing our health. Some 80 percent of the world’s wastewater is dumped-largely untreated-back into the environment, polluting rivers, lakes, and oceans. Auden once noted, “Thousands have lived without love, not one without water.” Yet while we all know water is crucial for life, we trash it anyway. Oh, that's not entirely it - Get ready to meet the Kitcoons in The Year of the Catcoon event on January 27th!

Three 'setting the stage' Content updatesĪs with previous updates we plan to have something out for players every month as well as streaming drops, Kleifest including significant additions to the Summer Cawnival as well as our regular holiday events. Year of the Catcoon + 2023 'Year of the.' eventįour Character refreshes ending in Q1 2023 More details on that as we get closer to the first of those coming out to a test branch in February. In addition to this, the QOL updates are planned to be more significant in such a way that they will affect how you play the game a bit more than previously. This roadmap is actually going to stretch a little into 2023 as we finally refresh W. We have a strong schedule ahead for 2022 that is intended on smoothing out the game in preparation for the next arc after finishing the next four character refreshes. However, it's worth noting that this roadmap is much more focused and established internally than previous years as we focus to prepare for the next content arc. We have four more character refreshes we need to get through this roadmap before we can move onto some more substantial plans we have for 2023. So our content updates this year will be mainly focused on setting the stage for what comes next. We're well on our way to some great content updates for 2022. We did have to make room for the Terraria collaboration by shifting around updates, but frankly - the team really needed that time to do something different for a little while, and I think it was worth it. I don't know if we'll ever have another awesome opportunity like that, but it was an absolute blast and we're thrilled everybody enjoyed it so much.

We had SO much fun working with Re-logic for this fun little diversion that turned out to be not so little.

We brought Kleifest and the Summer Cawnival as well as our regular holiday events and a surprise content update with our Terraria collaboration. In 2021 we released one new character, three character refreshes, two significant QOL updates, two major content updates. As we have previously seen our content schedule of character refreshes and occasional substantial content updates has continued to work out well for the team and players. This roadmap is subject to change at any time, but as we have done in the past, we will let you know if any of these plans change significantly.įor 2021 we aimed to 'keep on keeping on'. Many long-time fans will know that we often add new things to these plans which often shifts things around a bit, so it is recommended that you avoid scheduling your vacation plans around our dates. We always prioritize quality over deadlines and all dates and timelines are estimated to the best of our current ability. None of this is a promise or a guarantee. NOTE: Please remember that the roadmap is provided to give the community a sense of what we are working on and what is driving our decisions and what we are focused on in the coming year.
