Modding

Mod System:
-Mods which overwrite core game assets have usually crashed the game unless the game is restarted once. Now a mod can specify this to force

the game to restart when the mod is loaded.
-Mods can now specify an arbitrary save slot instead of using slots 1-4. This is useful for 'game mode' mods which don't sit nicely on top

of an existing Don't Starve save.

Assets:
-Road textures can now be overwritten by a mod.

World Gen:
-Can now specify the range of background nodes to generate for each node in the level definition.
-Tasks with blockers can now specify what their "blank" nodes are in case you don't want it to be ocean.
-Tasks have a little more control over internal connectedness by specifying a custom crosslink factor for rooms, and whether or not the

rooms are generated in a loop.

Development:
-AddGameDebugKey and AddGlobalDebugKey are now global functions, so mods can utilise them for testing.
-Better logging when animations and builds are missing.
-Sublime Text, a great script editor, is now packaged with the mod tools in Steam! Use this when working with Lua files for syntax

highlighting, multi-file search, and other handy editing tricks.
