WX-78 is officially stated to be non-binary, and is listed as the robot gender in the game's code.The developers during the WX-78 Refresh wanted to change their stats to binary (101/111/110), but in the end it was too much to rebalance and play test with the remaining time in the beta.The early concept for WX was 'Are they a boy trapped in a robot body or are they a robot that thinks they are a boy trapped in a robot body?'.When WX-78 dies, they will not drop a Soul if Wortox is nearby.If WX-78 dies from Wetness or Rain, their death will be listed as 'Short Circuit'.WX-78 was originally planned to speak in randomly generated binary.This inconsistency may be intentional for comedic effect or just an error.

WX-78 was added to Don't Starve in the Spoiled Rotten update on January 15, 2013.In DST, WX-78's favorite food is Butter Muffin, meaning that they gain 15 bonus when consuming the food.Since they ignore spoilage and food loses all sanity restoration as soon as it turns stale, WX-78 players have at least double the time to utilize foods that grant high sanity but spoil quickly, giving them a distinct advantage over other characters in terms of sanity management.

WX-78's gear consumption ability & light-providing circuits makes them one of the better equipped characters for traversing the Ruins.

Using the Ice Cube or Fashion Melon as protection from Overheating is not advised, as the Wetness gained from those items will damage WX-78.

WX-78 players may want to avoid using items that offer Lightning immunity (such as the Umbrella or Eyebrella) if they require healing, though they will take a hit to their Sanity with each strike.Equipping an Umbrella alongside a hat that offers at least 10% rain protection (such as the Straw Hat) will completely shield WX-78 from Rain, preventing any damage from being taken.If any event launches multiple lightning strikes, such as reading The End is Nigh, all strikes will usually target WX-78.
