I mean what's the best way to kill tentacles when you have no spider nest or merms nearby?
The other thing what is a secure way to clean the Reed trap if i get one on my swamps?
I am interested on this because i mostly play Wicker so i just learned that i could just make Boss Farms with tentacles.
The day I bought the game, it was working fine.
Next day, I try opening the game and I find this message
So yeah, I bought the game yesterday and looked at my Server mods and found these.
I tried deleting them, but some permissions thing won't allow me too. I've tried cleaning them up, I uninstalled and reinstalled I've tried the update button but nothing is getting rid of them.
Has anyone come up with a fix to this or what?
I was wondering if anyone had any ideas or had had a similar problem in the past...
So I got a new laptop, bought don't starve together under a second steam account, and tried to log in to play multiplayer. The game loads fine on my older laptop, but the newer one spins on the "logging in" screen for a few minutes and then eventually tells me that it cannot connect to the Klei Forums.
I checked all the forum and FAQ info I could, made sure firewalls and anti-virus were disabled or made exceptions for steam and don't starve, rebooted, reinstalled...the problem does't alter. I also contacted Klei support (on the 15th) and received a stock email asking if I had checked the existing resources. I responded (on the 15th) but haven't heard back since.
I SUSPECT that something happened when I had don't starve send the klei registration email, because the program locked up at that point, unlike with my other computer. I did receive the confirmation email and clicked the link, but...I don't know. Is there a way to get that laptop to "unregister"? I tried uninstalling and re-installing at that point, but it did not ask me to register with klei forums again.
Any ideas would be greatly appreciated!
I'm sure I could find my answer in the 300pages of thread about the subject, but y'know, I dont have all day. :/
Me and my mate have finished the second part and no ancient chest have spawned near the Pseudoscience machine. We were both near the machine at the same time and tried refreshing the puzzle page. I'd like to stay "legit" without the console, do I have options??
Thank yuuoo
Here is an example solution to part two I would need a screenshot of, the more of these I can get my hands on, the more data I can pump into the community puzzle spreadsheet for correlations. Thank you!
For me, the favourite enemy is probably deerclops. He was destroying my bases when i was a noob but i just like this guy, he is somewhat interesting and also he was the first boss introduced in don't starve. And for the most hated enemy it would be hound, these little guys always attack you in the worst situation, when you are really low on health. So i was wondering what are your favourite and most hated monsters in the game. 
I've been playing a lot of Solo Dst recently as Wolfgang, and couldn't help but notice how bad auto attack is compared to singleplayer don't starve. I have about 350 hours on singleplayer don't starve, and about 50 on dst. DST auto attack has delay between switching targets, which means after killing a target, you can't attack a new target for a short period of time. Say you have 2 spiders on screen, as Wolfgang you can one hit kill a basic spider. So you kill one of them, and while still holding control+f, Wolfgang will stand still for about a half second before attacking the second spider. This makes the DST combat system super clunky. The fix doesn't even require that much work, just port over the auto attack from regular Don't Starve, which has no attack delay. Now, I'm not quite sure if this attack delay was added to balance PVP, but at least when fighting NPCs, we don't need this delay because it's a pain to deal with after being used to the normal auto attack.
Now this thread is not meant to call anyone out, nor is it about venting your frustrations over mistakes noobs make. These are tips aimed more at showing ways of being considerate than improving your skill at the game.
I don't have a lot of time for playing computer games, so when I play DST I tend to hop on a random server and help out all I can before I have to leave (sometimes hosting my own server if I can't find one, which tends to be lonely), and I thought it would be nice to share ways I've found of not being a liability and not getting on peoples bad sides. I'd like to see other peoples tips too, in case there's some I've missed or just haven't thought of. So here's mine :3
I hope you enjoyed reading through my wall of text and I didn't waste your time. Feel free to post helpful tips of your own, and you might help a few people become a little more helpful. Maybe.
If you want a tldr just read the bold text.
I'm prepared for it now but it is annoying, half the time I'm fighting dragonfly (6 out of the last 13 fights) the hounds appear, isn't that a bit too often for random generation? What I do now is build a fort with three levels of thickness, when they attack I get in blow dart shots and can usually finish off the hounds while battling the dragonfly. If they show up too early I just abandon the mission.
It began somewhat normally then just a minute later he said that there was something wrong. All his gear from Don't Starve was magically transported to his body slots and backpack in DST. Then he said his character grew to the size of a giant. He then complained that his Don't Starve game had vanished because DST interfered with it. Suddenly his laptop dies, he plugs it in but it won't power on, plug isn't seated properly. I left.
Well i was checking the metheus page again, and i started to question myself about the guy or monster or whatever it is that is in front of Metheus, hes holding a torch, but i guess the torch isnt the tragic torch because it doesnt looks like it, are we going to get another puzzle to get that torch? or a boss battle in-game with metheus or something, i just want to know im really hyped about this
So basically long story short a group of Willows are enjoying their time joining random servers and kicking everyone without penalty.
I won't reveal their usernames for the sake of their identity, as much of a pain in the ass as they are.
What I'm trying to get at here, maybe we should do something about the vote kick feature, it's ruining legit DST worlds with randoms.
We should have it so that every person is limited to 1 - 2 votes, or have it when someone votes to kick and fails, they are set on a cooldown.
I dunno, I'm just tired of having to quit the server everytime these three Willow's join.
So I did the puzzle I was happy got my Ancient Cane and Ancient King's Chest and I got a Timeless version of Tragic Torch but now all the Ancient skins that where Loyal and now they are Timeless and why did it happen anyways? If someone can answer why did it happen I will thank you and if you don't believe me look in to your inventory if you have the items.
As a courtesy to my players I stay on for quite a while and also announce well ahead of time when I'll be getting off. I've noticed in other games that the host suddenly departs with no notice whatsoever, you could be in there for 50 days and boom, everyone gets kicked without warning.
So a few months back, I do recall there being a bit of a fuss over the whole Night Monster thing. Suggestions that there's more than one of them, so on and so forth.
Well, I just happened to see the newest announce text for if Wilson is about to be attacked by the Night Monster.
"That presence... it's familiar! Hello?"
Would appear that it is in fact still Charlie. She is, through some means, managing to both be Shadow Queen Charlie, sitting upon the throne, AND horrific shifty Grue.

"Dragonfly Scale Farm"
"The scale of the fiery conflagration of the beast, now I own."
A forum topic had opened for a question of an efficient way of farming dragonfly scales. This pondered me about how inefficient the gunpowder tactic was. So I came up for a number of research with the help of the Don't Starve wiki, @Asparagus' bunnyman count and my knowledge of pathfinding behaviors.
Thanks to the Don't Starve community wiki and @Asparagus ' shenanigans and his low frame rate videos about fighting the Dragonfly. I came up for a way of an effective scale farm.
May I represent the Dragonfly Scale Farm
Screenshots:
Requirements:
This contraption uses homeless bunnymen ( 
from
) encased in an enclosure of walls,fences and gates (
), a small pathway for you and the dragonfly to get in between, a melee weapon of choice, armor of preference (
) and an optional a resurrection item and medications (
and 
).
I'll explain the technicalities
The Dragonfly (
) has a mechanic whenever if you deal more than 1250 damage, it will go into a forced knock-out. And if you could deal 2500 damage she will drop a scale (
). She will not drop anymore scales () when she's stunned again but straying it away fro its location and going back refreshes and repeats itself. Exploiting this kind of behavior, we would use a bunnyman ( ) because it doesn't have a kiting behavior, has an increased damage and has hostility towards monsters and giants. Using 12 bunnymen will give out in in every second, a damage out of 480. Multiplying it by 5 seconds will successfully give 2400, more than enough to knock it down.
Another thing involve is its own attack priority. Dragonfly's #1 hit list will be the player, second will be the mobs itself. This makes up for safety of your homeless bunnymen as you're the meat shield. Unless in cases of situations, but it's ideal situation that you'll achieve. The walls are to limit the bunnymen's movement and to stop them from wandering and follow the dragonfly during his lavae spawn phase.
For the operation of the farm:

The original thread
"FLower Farming"
"It is buzzing with activity."
Flower farming were once discovered by the forerunners of the Don't Starve society long before. A simple mechanic upon stumbling the behavior on homeless worker bees. Pollinating from flower to flower until it reaches the maximum threshold of six flowers, a homeless bee now once at rest produces a elegant blossom. But there comes dilemma about this measly simple mechanic.
In instances, Don't Starve players may create flower farms in an unorthodox manner. Meaning flower farms tend to be erratic and somehow unpleasant for players who have the love of symmetry but only to face uneveness on their sights. Somehow it takes a lot of buzzing by the bees by how far they would go to pollinate from flower to flower. The same instance for players picking flowers from point to point.
Here I'm about to show to all of you a screenshot that would take flower farming in a tidy manner.
Screenshots:
Requirements:
The construction uses butterflies ( 
) acquired from flowers using a bug net, walls or fences () of different variations crafted by different ingredients, and as well as bees (
) acquired from beehives using a bug net.
This flower farm utilizes freedom on how much flowers planted using butterflies which equals to the amount of homeless bees (e.g 40 butterflies = 40 flowers = 40 homeless bees) you want to use. The corner walls/ fences () for the flower farm signifies any flower inside must not be picked rather only the flowers outside the pollination chamber. This gradually helps the homeless bees and makes the process quicker due to the distance being nearly for every flower.
Procedures:
There are certain procedures needed to create and operate the farm as functional as it should be.
For the creation of the flower farm
For the operation of the flower farm
This farm can yield on petals and dark petals (
) for manure (
) by using a sole Werepig (
) and rot (
) if left over time for your farming needs, garlands (
) for all days, and dark petals () to be refined to produce nightmare fuel (
). In occasion butterfly wings and butter (
) if you're up to butterfly farming but it is not advisable though and a different flower patch would be a better solution for that one.
I hope you're fluttering with Don't Starve knowledge and thank you for the support.

"Overheating & Freezing"
""
Given the amount of time you spent playing Don't Starve (Together), you've probably wanted ways for a quick temperature rise or drop due to the fact that you wanted to retain your character's body temperature long enough before beginning to freeze or overheat from the global temperature. It is a practical annoyance that could lead to certain death if not immediately treated but there would be an easy way of of a quick rise and temperature drop.
This uses two campfires and fire pits (
) or even endothermic fires and its fire pit counterparts (
) to quickly manipulate your character's temperature to rise or fall in order to use other utilities and clothing to maintain body temperature and reduce temperature loss of the character.
A maximum of 2 and if added more will have no guarantee effect and will be only plain redundancy and can still give off quite a significant amount of heat/ or even chillness even not on their maximum output. But it is not limited only to these but other sources of heat and cold which this applies to almost all of the given.
These are the following:
These emit heat
In order: Campfire, Fire Pit, Extra-Adorable Lavae, Dwarf Star, Scaled Furnace, Magma Pond
These emit cold
+
In order: Endothermic Fire, Endothermic Fire Pit, Polar Light, Moonbase + Mooncaller's Staff
This can lead to temperature "machines" for a quick temperature increase and decrease, even portable and non-portable temperature machinery. Only for your character's bodily needs whilst giving longevity before your character needs the warmth or even coolness of the fire.
"Path Finding Behaviors"
"They've gone right into my trap."
In Don't Starve and in Don't Starve Together knowing certain behaviors of entities can be crucial to create meticulous contraptions that provides advantages for the player and now I'm here to explain it bluntly as possible.
On path finding there are two categories of obstacles in order for all of you to understand: which are legitimate obstacles and unintended obstacles. Legitimate obstacles are obstacles intended and follows an open path if there is any but if there is any path that is closed it doesn't follow and goes straight to the direction in rationality. Unintended obstacles are structures that could still block but doesn't have what legitimate obstacles can do.
Mobs follow the nearest legitimate pathway for them to reach their target unlike giants which of course doesn't recognize and instead demolish the obstacles on their own path. Simply put for the giant's description they make their own path for themselves.

"Strange Interactions with the Moonstone"
Have you gone up thinking how tedious mining specific boulders in order to get moon rocks? But in the end, it is not enough to make yourself the required building materials to build your masterpiece. Well I'm about to show you a rather strange mechanic onto place.
The Moonstone is a natural occurring structure that resides in a part of a forest on some grassland turf with seemingly suspicious petrified specimens covered in moon rocks. This structure could change one of the staves in the game in order to be converted into the Moon Caller Staff. On the night of the full moon, under a fully repaired Moonstone, you insert a Star Caller Staff and defend the Moonstone in incoming attacks of waves of Werepigs and Hounds.
But curiosity take over and a little experiment was shown by me before that led to the discovery.
"The Loot Stash"
"The dark secrets of the Loot Stash has been revealed."
The loot stash upholds its meaning to be a white sack locked in chains bound by the Klaus' lock and key. Which brings forth upon opening presents and giving the Winter's Feast cheers. Shiny baubles, winter's feast lights and food, gold, charcoal, wax paper, forbidden knowledge, and the skins of the notorious giants. But is that the one and only use of the loot stash? Just for that single purpose?
Now I am willing to introduce and change your own views rather simply this bag of loot to be a container of preciousness but something more. But we are in need of suitable of equipment in order to produce this one of a kind feat that you never ever seen before the Don't Starve world.
Required items:
The following items to create this feat will be using telelocator staves (
), deer antlers (
), electric-resistant clothing (
)
and as a replacement for clothing, a lightning rod (
).
Procedures:
This set up can provide red gems and blue gems from the freed No-Eye Deers, also that they provide meat upon killing them. Additionally some couple of bone shards resulting from unlocking the loot stash for your farming needs and purple gems upon crafting the two together and an optional situation wherein if you have a fellow WX-78 in the brink of needing an overcharge.
Now you can fill those deserted biomes with life by repeating the procedure in which produces an amount equal of the telelocator staves used. Practically an endless of free roaming deers that were freed by the cruel key keeper of the stash.

"Willow's Happy Place"
"No one could understand me."
Willow in honesty doesn't have uniqueness due to the fact Klei Entertainment made complete revisions which removes her own "fire" out of Don't Starve Together. Making her stand point in Don't Starve Together as a beginner character while removing certain aspects that makes her truly Willow. But an aspect of her can be unique and I'm here to show to you it.
In the character selection screen, Willow defines her love and affinity to fire. Whenever she's near a fire whether controlled or even uncontrollable, Willow gains sanity regeneration. It even before existed in the sister version of Don't Starve Together and there born the easiest way for Willow to regenerate her sanity into seconds. But fire mechanics in Don't Starve Together are different towards the sister version of it and how would you do it? Well that's why I'm here to tell all of you reading.
Unlike in Don't Starve where fire immediately spreads fast, fires in Don't Starve Together has a mechanic called smoldering wherein in a certain amount of time it will ignite into flames but can be stopped before igniting. But there is a workaround in order to achieve the same effect like on the sister version.
Requirements:
This uses a depending amount of burnables that can last long enough right before they turn to ashes(
) exclusive to Willow; her own lighter(
) or even a torch (
) and a fire-extinguisher (
)
I would highly suggest to add this mods (any of the two works):

but you could even use other fire-extinguishing methods () but likely an area of effect.
Thank you for reading and I hope it will satisfy -somehow- Willow's fire after all.

"Under Construction"
OK so I'll try to make this brief. I'm new to the forum thing so hopefully I'm not posting in the wrong topic (I couldn't do anything else). So I've had this problem before and the only thing that seemed to fix it was shut down my computer and go into command prompt for a reason I don't remember. Anyway, I attached the error on this (its just a screenshot of the window that pops up), and I'm putting this on here because it's only THIS GAME ALONE. I'm positive it's not my mods because I have 3 characters that I use frequently and never had a problem. The 1st time I had this problemo I had ZERO mods so...I'm REALLY hoping someone can help me because I want to play A New Reign soooo badly :(. Another thing to note, I was playing earlier today with no problems: 2 sessions, both about 3 hours each, No Issues. Sorry if this is a bit wordy, but I NEED to fix this because I love this game and this error is just ruining it for me :'(
Thanks in advance - A Fellow Starvian (idk just help me lmao)
) in the vicinity due to how uncontrollable the homeless bee's behavior (
due to their aid on your sight towards those moments of insanity.
) is full.
