Important changes to DST

$

0

I am not sure if I've included enough of what I wanted here. Most likely not. But I've delayed this for so long and I've taken hours writing this and I now that that it would be important to write at least about all of what I could gather and then post it, see how the game changes and then whatever will happen will happen. I am quite sure and I know many of us here are sure of this as well, that we'll be getting something to do with the portal sometime later. However, since developers have now started to work on fixes and some changes, I thought it would be the perfect time to post this, because lets be honest, the game needs a lot of changes, whether you agree with most of my points or not.

Well, my last thread of "Things that should really be done before ANR is finished" didn't really get any attention from Klei... I don't really understand why, since most of the things mentioned there had a bunch of players agree with me and the changes suggested generally weren't overly difficult to implement, as far as I can recall. Well, in any case, this is the mega-thread that I've been talking about for the past weeks that I would be posting, with a bunch of changes that Klei should really put their minds to. Yes, this is long. There's even more good suggestions out there in the suggestion section for DST that Klei doesn't seem to be reading into really. Why? I have no idea. It seems only general section gets attention, although even when things are suggested, they aren't taken into account at all or for a very long time even if a LOT of players request it (the vote kick, Klei, the vote kick)! In any case, half of the stuff here isn't even hard to implement... In fact, some of these... well, I'll leave this to what my next thread will bring about, which is related to modding. Look out for that one, cause it will be quite important as well! So, all that said, I'm hoping that since they are making a lot of bug fixes and quite a bit of changes NOW, that this thread will have at least some impact to the game.

Now that ANR is finished and all the puzzle stuff is done, I'm sure many could agree that it would be the best time for Klei to start making some more fixes and changes to the game that would improve the experience. Some of the ones listed here may be something that I've heard other members of the community discuss with or without me and others are simply my personal opinion. Further discussion is welcome here, as many of the suggestions here are of features that are untested, but I'll talk more about the few tested ones later... So, without further ado, here are things that the game could really do with improving:

Newbie support and more challenge to the late-game players

Spoiler

 

For newcomers, in harsh seasons, it is almost impossible to survive. Especially if they are new to the game as a whole and need to learn the ins-and-outs of it. Furthermore, events like the Deerclops, coming after player of day 1 that's far away from any support, just because they were near structures is way too damagingly impossible for them to deal with and hence simply unfair. And lastly, players that have played for a long time, have little to no challenge. The world is theirs to mould, even since the beginning of the game, because they know the game. There are a few suggestions I have for improving all of this:

* Charlie's support for newcomers at the portal - I have talked about this suggestion in more detail here and here. This is an extremely important change, so I would really suggest you give this a serious consideration. It is very much needed!

*  Changing events to occur locally - it is quite unfair, as mentioned before that day 1 or 2 players can experience something so punsihing as Deerclops, the Antlion, Bearger etc. This feature is already for hound and depth worm waves. Why is it not for Antlion, Deerclops, Bearger and anything else timed? Please, make it so that players CANNOT, even if they are the only players in the world, have a Deerclops come after them unless they have survived a certain amount of days, kind of like you have done with the voting system, but without "the only person on the server" exceptions. Deerclops could require at least 25 days survived, Bearger 65 and the Antlion 45, but whatever you think is best.

* There are multiple things that would need to be done in order to make things harder for late-game players. For one, I would suggest that the attack periods and attack patterns (if a certain mob has more than one attack) are more randomised so that kiting doesn't result in being a method of combat that makes things extremely trivial so much, or for players to at least cower more from their opponents if they don't want to get hurt (less hits per dodge). This could be done via something like (in TUNING list of tuning.lua): [insert a mob's attack period variable] = 4 + math.random() * 2

^ that would result in the attack period being between 4 to 6 seconds for a particular mob, as you might know. Simply, it would be a way to add more challenge even when kiting.

* Another thing I will mention is some changes to certain mobs, especially bosses. Bee Queen for one shouldn't trigger tentacles for exploitative combating reasons. It would also be good if the giant bee hive, instead of being entirely an optional boss, was more consequential, so perhaps if you killed/captured too many bees or destroyed enough bee hives, the nearest Bee Queen would emerge to hunt you down as a consequence.

*  Dragonfly could do with some changes too. For one, the Dragonfly was changed from being a roaming boss to a stationary one because it was too destructive. Now that the antlion, accompanied by smouldering is essentially the exact same level of destruction, I don't see a reason for the Dragonfly to be taken out from being a roaming boss. So, perhaps if Dragonfly only appeared during Summer and for most of the Summer stayed at its base, but at some point during it was to come after a certain player (this act being possible to delay if you're engaging in combat with the Dragonfly while it's stationary). The roaming mode could make the Dragonfly be some-what more like the single player version. I would certainly like to see the Dragonfly go around burning things so that she could munch of some ash again! What's more, Lavae could do with two changes; one is instead of a timer for when they will kill themselves, their health going down periodically, so if you were to fight the things with a spear or something, your damage output would have some point to it, otherwise it's just you waiting for them to kill themselves the entire time. The other being that they should really be able to jump over walls, I mean with the animation that they have... At least over tier 1 walls, so as to get rid of a certain exploit I've found players using recently (penning up the lava ponds). Dragonfly has the potential for some more attacks. Two that I have thought of are lava spew, which is her basically spewing lava/her saliva for a few seconds, preventing anyone not immune to fire/without a scalemail from hitting her without getting burnt. The other attack being her breathing fire, like an actual dragon. And for crying out loud, please, give her an angry look while aggroed on a player but not enraged, because it's just way too weird that she has a normal idle expression while going after you. Plus, it could help out identify whether she's aggroed onto you or just roaming around.

* Bearger could do with some more changes too. Aside from his animation and behavioural bugs that seem to be around, it would be good if there was some incentive made to fight him in Spring or Winter. His hibernation mechanic seems to be only useful for telling the player "don't wake him while he's hibernating", but since this mechanic makes the fight so much more difficult, it would be great to have some incentive to fight him in these seasons as well. Moreover, there is no incentive in killing him at all. You can just farm up the fur tufts, which would give you 3 thick furs instead of one from killing him. Some more attacks for him, including the running-and-then-stomping attack, which for some reason was removed from multiplayer, or at least isn't functional in multiplayer, would be great. Perhaps one new attack could be him going down on all fours and charging at the player to bite, or grab and chomp on the player, which could be very deadly if the player has no armour on (this could incentivise to use beefalo for the fight, perhaps, since Bearger couldn't grab and chomp on a beefalo. Or he could simply get you off the beefalo, that works too, I guess).

* Deerclops could have a freeze-blow attack. Right now, with enough kiting, you can easily kill the thing on your own. Way too easily. A freeze blow attack would ensure Deerclops gets an attack on a player if they're on their own, or simply make him better oriented for multiplayer. Players could avoid this freeze blow attack (which could last like 5 seconds max) via using the lazy explorer. In essence this attack would function like a weaker version/different variant of Fuelweaver's bone cage.

* Goose/Goose - This one might be the hardest one to implement... But to keep the boss much more stronger, and so that the tornado attack from mosslings is applied to the Gmoose, I would suggest these attacks: Tornado attack (only done if she's struck by lightning, a similar attack to that of the Sealnado, although it would be cool if she moved while this was happening, instead of staying in one spot), Fly up and slam (a similar attack to that of the Tigershark in Shipwrecked) and Levitate and charge attack. The tornado attack could be longer and move players either towards or away from her and deal a bit more damage to the player than the small mosslings, perhaps. And finally the levitate and charge attack, well, it's probably self-explanatory; she flies up a bit, to a point of levitating from the ground, puts out her horns and charges at a certain player.

* Antlion - In terms of combat, I would like the thing to be more dynamic; digging through the ground and jumping out, similarly to the depth worms, because it looks like it's suited for that, but instead, right now looks like an unfinished boss. And perhaps it could dig around the desert and wander instead of staying in one place, until you approach it? Please, just make it more dynamic! I mean, it creates cracks in the ground for players when angry, implying it moving around the ground, so, why is it so static there? Is it meant to be like a creature that stretches across the world instead? Well, it certainly doesn't look nice that way. Also, the thought is a bit strange, considering it only has 12000 health.

* Toadstool - I would like to see this guy actually be a trap boss. Essentially, there being a purple mushroom biome, with two types of purple mushtrees and purple mushrooms. Chopping down one of the kind of mushrooms, might turn out to actually be the boss, triggering a boss fight. It would also make players that are experienced to look for him more. Having the holes not be specific spots, but be in different spots around the biome every time, similarly to how I suggested the McTusk camp spawning mechanics, would be great, I think. Plus, I think it would be funny if he could trap the player via spawning some of his boomshroom trees while you're in the forest, although that might not really be plausible. Him having a tongue attack, similar to that of frogs would be awesome, but... him grabbing your armour instead and shattering it, instead of taking an item at random. Or, if you have no armour on you, him grabbing you instead and chomping you up, insta-killing you. A normal chomp attack from him would be nice too. I mean, why does he have those teeth if he doesn't use it for anything?!

* My last point here be for you to look out for where players exploit the game mechanics to make certain things that were intended to be more of a challenge, becoming a more of a farm. A notable feature would be the Walrus camp. Simply making their camp respawn in a different, semi-random location during winter once most of the party has been killed (the hounds and the McTusk, but not WeeTusk) should do the trick, preventing players from simply placing tooth traps and tentacles in the spot of their camp, or even just pig houses and  to kill them with ease. It would also incentivise the players to go around the map looking out for them, similarly to how Klaus sack feature is done. Although, the spawning of the camps shouldn't be in specified locations, because then these spots would be found and farming of them could be done with ease again. And also, a nice touch would be that if they happen to spawn near a pond, they would drill a hole and fish out some fish from ponds, I believe this was suggested already somewhere, but not entirely sure if I could find the topic. Another thing that could be added in terms of this that I know of is tumbleweeds bouncing off of the world edge instead of getting stuck there, allowing for quick and easy loot.

 

 

Renewability of items/objects/mobs/plants in the game

Spoiler

 

It is detrimental that some items simply respawn or regenerate in some non-destructable way in the game, because otherwise it means that over time, certain resources can be depleated. Some more easily than others, but in any case, here's a list of the things that should really be renewable in some ways:

* Pig houses - he ones hammered could simply respawn a few days later after being hammered, perhaps like 4. While this would incentivise hammering them for actually getting more pig skin, these houses are mostly spread out, even at the villages. I do not have a good solution for this exploit, however it is necessary that you make them respawn. More-over, I think it would be great if pigs actually gathered wood and repaired their houses if someone burns them. And it would probably be good if they attacked you for lighting or hitting their house with a hammer.

* Bee hives being renewable through the giant bee hive would be great as well, I think, perhaps with some involvement of the Grumblebees in their reconstruction from the nearest Giant Beehive.

* Reeds - just make them respawn in the spots they were spawned in from the world generation if they get burnt, similarly to how glaciers generated by the world come back if they get dried up and have that spot not possible to place any structures in! Simple! Perhaps, to incentivise having marsh turf and the marsh turf brought from the giant tentacles to have some form of proper use, the reeds would only respawn in marsh turf is placed at their spawner.

* Spiky trees and spiky bushes - I don't know why these don't respawn, really. I mean, the spiky bushes are a twig resource variant, so it would be great if they could respawn so we can use them. Perhaps they could be ones that don't disease, but would harm you even if you dig them up, so as to incentivise picking them rather than digging them up. This would make them balanced with the normal twigs and allow you to choose between dealing with a rare disease or picking slower and hurting yourself, or having large space taken up from having twiggy trees nearby. Don't you lose variants? Oh, and I forgot to mention spiky trees... yeah, could they respawn too? Perhaps they might not be as useful if we can't replant them, but it would be cool if they did. Then I wouldn't feel so bad for ruining the aesthetic

* Killer bee hives - a cool challenge that may also come useful in certain scenarios... but it's pretty much temporary and easily gotten rid of. Could we have them just respawn, please? I love those dangerous hives and it's sad when other players destroy them, leaving nothing but an open field to walk through :(

* Mandrakes - Hmm... may be they could respawn every time it rains heavily? It would be cool to keep the meep. Yes, you can get them from the Klaus, but it's a CHANCE to get only ONE. And plus, it's not one that meeps, sadly :( and besides, it would be cool if the mandrake soup actually did a thing for you, rather than being something used just to defeat bosses when consoling stuff in. And how about, if you go near their spawns during the night, you can seem them come out and meeping on-spot? Getting too close having them latch onto you, of course :p OH, and how about if you can't sleep while one's following you? :D

* Stalagmites - since players can exit with the Fossil fragments, it could be possible to as a result get rid of a boss, ruins regeneration and two useful mobs by just collecting all of the fossils, if left in chest to some tool that will take them and will never come back. But them simply not being possible to be taken with you can create a few problems, like not being able to even take them to the surface for spawning the green stalker and newbie players scattering them around the world, making the limited amount impossible to find *cough*justlikechester*cough*. And also, where did the stalagmites come from...? So, how about if deeper into the caves (away from cave entrances) stalagmites, and in certain biomes the spilagmites with the other stalagmite variant, could fall down during earthquakes? It would make it more fun and dangerous as well!

* Gold boulders, other boulder types and rocks - Gold boulders are pretty much the only ones that are non-renewable, which is a bit of a shame, but also a problem for new players in older worlds. It comes to a point where the only two generally reliable ways of getting gold is from pig king or rarer, from earthquakes. This means that new players HAVE to find the main base or the pig king (might find both as a result) straight away. Furthermore, new players cannot craft compasses as easily because of this. May be make the boulders respawn somewhere in same type of biome after they get mined a few days later? Rocky biomes become barren because the boulders don't respawn as a result. Just empty void, the real desert, if you will. Same could go for the rocks in the mosaic and the grass patch nearby the pig king. A bit strange that there's rocks there, but it looks nice, so for them to respawn as well would be great :)

* Catcoon dens - just... make them respawn if destroyed, please? It is very easy for a boss or a noob/griefer to destroy them, making catcoons not renewable in the world anymore :( - apparently this is alredy in the game, so this can be ignored if that is the case. However, kittycoons populating them more from being raised would be nice.

* Fireflies - yeah, I know, they are renewable now because of the desert pond, but that's extremely unreliable, since it's only 3 per summer. I would suggest that the fireflies would respawn in the same type of biome they were picked from the moment they are caught, but the place being very random. This would make catching them a long-term thing instead of something you do at first generally speaking and then never really do again. Since they are a fuel source for things like miner hat and lantern, it being a more reliable (but not as reliable as bulbs) for it would be nice. Besides, they take up bug nets to catch, where as bulbs you can just pick, so I would say that balances it out quite nicely.

* Merm houses - since players let Deerclops and whatnot walk through here, chances are, merm houses will get destroyed. Some other players want them destroyed, even if they have no griefing intentions. This is destruction of content. Please, make them respawn where generated in the world, if not craft them.

* Pig torches - they should really respawn if the world generates them, simple as.

* Pig heads and merm heads - it would be a fun little thing if when a pig kills a merm, they grab some of the fish/frog legs to craft a merm head in the area and vice versa.

* Hound mounds - raising a vargling to have a hound mound respawn in some form would be a nice addition. But having some indestructible way to renew them would be good.

* Tallbird nests - some have suggested that once you raise a smallbird into a tallbird, that tallbird should place a nest somewhere. Considering how useless it is to raise a smallbird right now, this would be suitable, in all honesty. Although that wouldn't make the nests and the birds impossible from being erased from a server. Would be good if the world respawned them as well if the nests get burnt. Or simply make the nest not flammable?

 

And anything else not mentioned here that could lead to content being destroyed. What is the point of having content in the first place if you allow it to be erased on a server so easily, never to be seen again? Not only does this destroy the aesthetic of the game, but also creates issues in survival that really shouldn't be there for players. Please, Klei, this is an important task you need to undertake.


 

 

Item/structure/object rebalances

Spoiler

 

Okay, so I'm sure you are aware of the various weak or pretty-much-useless items, right? Well, here's a list of most of them that I've found, with explanations as to why they are so useless and/or how they could be improved. I will also soon be posting a topic in the general section related to some of the stuff below, so anyone reading this, watch out for that!

 

* The lazy forager - just make it refuelable via nightmare fuel! It's not even that hard, unless you're making a mod for it! Sure it has its uses, but it being used for more miscellaneous stuff like picking up those 500 logs and pinecones from a hard work of chopping would make it great. Perhaps it picking up stuff a bit faster also couldn't hurt, since sometimes you need to just sit there to do it. Some people have suggested for it to pick up stacks of things, but eh, pick those stacks up yourself :p

* Marble trees - they've essentially become decorations due to how they've been rebalanced. How about if you needed royal jelly along with a marble to craft two of them? This would give . But that not being all... They should then loot more marble as well. Having less space taken up and less time taken to mine them all, whilst getting a decent amount of marble could honestly make it balanced with the log suits, I think. Mining up three large marble trees or four medium ones for a marble suit I think is a fair trade-off, but having to mine up 8 or so large ones for a marble suit is just way too grindy. Oh, and they should all loot marble beans if royal jelly becomes part of the recipe. May be the large ones could have a small chance of yielding an additional bean?

* Leafy meat - could we have it have 1 meat and 1 vegetable crockpot value? What? Why not 0.5 vegetable value? You will have to wait till I make that other topic to find out :p also, it would be great if you could dry it for... may be some special jerky that gives more for health and sanity than regular jerky?

* WX-78 - okay, so I've two things to tell about him... First would be that the rain damage is a non-threat later on in the game. Or even early on. In fact, it's not a threat at all if you're not constantly bitten by spiders without wearing armour. Here's my suggestion; make his wetness rate and the amount of damage he takes increase based on the amount of wetness he has. The current damage rate and amount being the minimum (when above 0 wetness).

* Willow - ohhoho, if I may, and I may because this is my topic... I'll just leave you hanging for a bit there until the other topic is made where I explain everything about our beloved Pyromaniac :p

* Nightmare amulet - yes, it's been made more useful and some might argue that the way it gives you nightmare fuel, late-game, and it being a relatively late game item could means that its recipe is just fine for getting more nightmare fuel, however, in comparison to the fact that you can simply regenerate sanity and get rid of it easily in many ways even at mid-game, makes it generally more useful for the weaver fight and getting past obelisks. So, since it's also an item that takes up nightmare fuel to be crafted, I think it would be great if we could refuel it with it. Saves some gold and purple gems, which could then be used more of for telelocator staves and focuses for other things.

* The lazy explorer - I would suggest either increasing the amount of durability it has to 50 or making it refuelable via nightmare fuel (1 fuel = 1 puff perhaps). Why? Because for one, half the time you'll miss-click and telepoof when you don't want to and secondly because its telepoofing feature is rarely used. Also, could you make it so that you get the cane back once you use up the thing? Because what's the point of telepoofing when it's at 5% then? And in most worlds you will only get one MsTusk camp, meaning that if a lot of players want to make use of this thing, and with the addition of beefalo riding consuming tusks for brushes (if people make use of the feature well, but I'll get to beefalo riding in a bit), it would be really nice if we could get our canes back.

* One Man Band - This item definitely needs a LOT more durability. More-over, it would probably be best if sanity drain didn't stack from having more followers attach to you from using it. And also, I think it would be extremely useful if it woke up any mobs in the vicinity! I mean, it's an annoying piece of it plays very loudly, so it would make sense if you could use it to wake up mobs. May be it could keep pigs during night and dusk from not chopping down trees? Eeeh, maybe not.

* Pan flute - two things... for one, it would be great if it had a bit more durability, so something like 20 or 30 instead of just 10, so that it could be used more on various things, other than getting dragonfly out of enraged state (which you should probably look into changing as well) and the rarity of mandrakes, even if respawning during heavy rains, the rarity of deconstruction staves and making mandrake soups as more of an option, this change could be good. Yes, they could be used to get rid of hounds in a hound attack easily, but not if the hounds wake up from you killing one of them. The other thing I want to mention is that I think that there should be a longer delay for when the pan flute activates and takes away durability, especially since in PvP that is what outranks it with Sleepy Time Stories book.

 

 

Things that need to DESAPWN!11!!!!!!111

Spoiler

 

Ease the lag pls by despawning individual items (unstacked) in a few days or so of the following:

* Rot (could turn into dirt before disappearing too, but then dirt would need a good use...)

* Seeds (although they could grow into something that's common on that particular biome instead)

* Stingers

*Teeth

*Bone shards

* Petals (both kinds)

* Tree stumps (could be destroyed by the rail instead, since that will make sense as well)

* Manure

* Guano

Nuff said >:(

 

 

Some miscellaneous things

Spoiler

 

* Expanding a little on tumbleweeds, aside from them bouncing off of the edges of the map to not be so easy to pick, I would like to suggest two things: they are only present during Summer, their spawners changing spots around every time you pick up a tumbleweed, and for them to have higher chances of giving good loot (e.g. trinkets, gems) as a counter for bouncing around and spawning in only during Summer. Actually, perhaps they could have a guaranteed chance of dropping 1 twig, 1 grass and a chance of dropping an additional item which could be nothing or some of the other, rarer items? This would incentivise players to go around deserts during this season, picking tumbleweeds and Summer would actually have a good incentive to it, similar to that of Winter with McTusks! Them only spawning during Summer also means that they could be the focus of getting grass and twigs during this season if you can't pick grass and twigs during this season for whatever reason.

* Buzzards - just make them spawn in during Summer as well. Some people take advantage of this farm sometimes way too hardly, I've seen. Plus, them being a Pengull variant of the Summer season sounds pretty cool. Other than this, I don't really have any ideas, but if you, Klei, or others in the forum do in terms of how they could be changed or incentivised to kill or whatever else, then it would be nice to see something a bit more done with them. Not that they need to, really. Animals for the aesthetic can be great too.

* Sandstorms - A bit undeveloped, I would say. It would be great if this could be expanded on in some way. Perhaps the Antlion would move from desert to desert after each time it attacks a certain player and as a result, the sandstorm would prove more of a challenge if any desert separates any land masses or you're basing in them (which might make some players think about basing elsewhere too).

* Cave stalker - I think it would be cool if the cave stalker could trap in some smaller creatures in bone cages too and not just players, so creatures like spiders, moleworms, rabbits, heck perhaps even depth worms (making him a bit more useful for defeating them), slurpers, splu-monkeys, clockwork bishops and knights and perhaps even bunnymen and pig men. Probably some other creatures that can be present in the caves, or may be a tag for all/most smaller mobs could be given to do this for all mobs that are technically small enough to be caged.

* I think it would be cool if instead of teleporting to you, chester dug himself magically from one point to another, to give him more of a vibe of being a dog and also making it less odd if chester despawns in-front of someone else far behind you.

* Improve the contents of ornate chests, the large ornate chest and make the edges of dangling depth dweller silk turfs trigger them to attack. This would make the labyrinth more exciting and make the looting of chests much more worth it. And in the case of the ancient guardian, since it has x4 the amount of health as in single player and is supposed to be a multiplayer effort, may be you could reward players with enough loot to satisfy multiple players? Like come on!!!

* Beefalo riding - Firstly, let us exit with them while mounted on them. This would also mean that you could have a domesticated beefalo and Sure, some might try to steal the beefalo, which is why it would be good if you made the beefalo loyal to each player. The moment one is fed grass, it should not accept food from other players until fully undomesticated. You might want to share the beefalo with others, but the fact that others exiting with them from feeding one grass can become a bit of a problem, this needs to be in place, unfortunately. Moreover, it would be great if we could jump through wormholes with them directly, because while carrying a horn to get through wormholes isn't too big of an issue, the big problem is that the horn only has 10 durability. I guess you could make the durability be more to something like 50, although direct travel would probably be better. Moreover, it would be cool if we could change their tendencies after they have been fully domesticated. This way, if we can only have one beefalo and if we wanted to change a tendency, we wouldn't need to attack it to lose so much days of domestication progress. And can we please have it so that in PvE you can't attack a beefalo that someone else has started domesticating? And for domesticated/partially domesticated beefalo to not trigger tooth traps and bee mines as well? I have talked a bit more about this here, most of which I generally still think should be in the game, if not in already.

* Tree guards and Totally Normal Trees- likewise with Killer Bee hives, I'm a bit sad that the Totally Normal Trees once cut will be removed content from the game. So, how about making sense from where they come from by making fully-grown tree guards turning into them after a certain amount of time? This could be useful in populating evil flowers, if the totally normal trees spawn and respawn them over time around them and the mechanic of the tree guards turning into them would mean that they have a full, representative life-cycle with that of the non-guard evergreens. Plus, it would mean that they can't simply be left somewhere forever to fight Deerclops or Bearger or whatever other mobs for you.

* Spider population and Spider queen - Okay, so, spiders are a bit of a problem that makes the game way too much of a world-managing one than a survival one. I think it would be great if spider queens never left a tier 1 nest after spawning, but instead, when killed, dropped two spider eggs. This would incentivise you to fight the queen more and keep the spiders from over-populating completely. Perhaps, if there are too few spider nests, the game could spawn some in somewhere in the world (highest chance in forest and swamp biomes, less chance for some other biomes like savanna, grass, mosaic  and deciduous), so as to not make it that some troll can come in on the first day and destroy all nests and the player having to need a webber player in order to get spider eggs for new nests. Moreover, this would mean that worlds that don't get regular webber players would and have no caves enabled would still be able to get silk and spider glands.

* Spider hat - by the way it is balanced, I would think it would be used by players more, but... it seems like it's not really a needed item at all, unless you're clearing a hoard of spiders. Here's how I would suggest the hat to be rebalanced: firstly, increase its durability a bit. Secondly, if you have any additional hats, make it so that they would switch over like armour. And thirdly, make it so that it turns sanity auras into insanity ones ;) Not sure if this will make much difference, although I can't think of anything better for this item, in all honesty.

* Wormhole and Lazy deserter sanity drain - currently, it is way too easy to lose sanity on purpose with these two methods. I would suggest that the player's sanity drain would halve the next time the player uses these and for a timer to reset this sanity drain amount over time, if either of these are not being used. Plus, it would make more sense if players get used to jumping through wormholes and using teleportation, don't you think? Perhaps apply this to the telelocator focus and the lazy explorer, since they too are used for teleportation? And also... make it so that the lazy deserter can only be activated if it has desert turf underneath it. This would make the sand swirling around it and the one that grabs players and brings them over something that makes more sense AND would make it so that the deserter cannot be used in the heart of the ruins or in the ruins by the players to teleport in there, since the ruins turf cannot be removed :D Perhaps some renewable way of getting desert turf, like killing the ant lion or fishing it up from the white crumpled packages that you fish out from the oasis desert pond.

* Ancient altar repairs from getting damaged - I know they respawn, but having to go through resetting the ruins again just because the statue got wrecked from earthquakes, even though you could have repaired via thulecite if the game allowed you to, then that's a bummer. Make them work just like ancient relics; getting hit giving them damage, which then allows you to repair it instead of it having some number of hits and then breaking like other machine structures. Moreover, it would be very beneficial if the statues could not be damaged, or at least not destroyed by incoming rooks, cause some of them have their spawn points set nearby them.

* On Tentacles - to make the marsh turf even more useful and desirable for renewability or whatnot, I think it would be a good idea if Wickerbottom could only spawn tentacles with it on marsh turf. This would also stop unsuspecting players from getting caught by them in a perfectly fine grass field. This would also mean that the marsh turf should not be possible to be dug up so long as there's a tentacle on it. This would also mean that the player needs to think more before-hand for using the book and mean that griefer wickerbottoms can't spawn them in bases so easily.

* Spider egg placement - similarly to the previous thought, make it so that you can't place spider eggs or have spider queens turn into spider nests on man-made turf? I've been on a server where people have wanted to reset a server just because spider nests invaded their base :(

* Volt goats and their horns - two issues... there is usually only one herd, their herds don't multiply like it does for beefalo, for some reason, and their horn drop rate is way too low for using the Morning Star as a reliable weapon of sorts, or getting some more weather pains. It would benefit the game well if the herds expanded for volt goats like they do for beefalo so that the goats can't go extinct so easily. For the horn, it would probably be great if you had a 33% chance of getting it from the goat rather than 25%, since that is also the chance for Beefalo dropping their horn. It would be nice if we could milk the goats while they're asleep for electric milk, since killing them while they're charged seems to be the only way to get it and crockpot foods that require electric milk aren't so godly as to be craved so much. I mean, you can have a honey production going, getting you all the sanity you need, versus sometimes getting a good sanity restoring item that amounts to not that much because of how rarely you actually get it in higher amounts. If it messed with the balance of needing honey for sanity, perhaps the milking could be done in a specific season, like Spring for instance. Lastly, perhaps not the best idea, and I know some might not like the idea as this could restrict base expansions (which imo would be great actually), but if a goat horn was part of lightning rod recipe (only one horn, so if the rod got wrecked, you could rebuild it without requiring extra horns), I think it would be very fitting and incentivise people more to look out for goats and try to slaughter them, even if they're not going for the badass weapons that the horn requires. Besides, it is so very fitting for the recipe!

* Suspicious snow piles - instead of suspicious dirt piles, in winter, you would get suspicious snow piles! This would make hunting harder as the snow piles would be harder to track down due to their visuals blending in with the environment, making food possibly more of an issue in this harsh season.

 

 

Griefing...

Spoiler

 

A bit of a touchy subject, I will say. I have already made some points in relation to wickerbottom's On Tentacles book and the plantation of Spider Eggs. This section will focus on anything that might be left over for that. There isn't too much, with the addition of improved voting system, but there are a few things I do want to mention that I have some ideas about how they could be dealt with instead of using the rollback. Because it has come to a point where rollback is just a normal game feature you can use all you want. That isn't good for game design.

* Fire checks - for any fire related griefing, this is what I am 100% for. Some others don't like the idea too much, but for reasons which ultimately are minor. The only major reason I can think of being the possibility of lag. To give you an idea of what this is about... well, there are multiple mechanics to this. First of all, players not being able to light any flammable structures on fire. Secondly, anything that isn't a structure should only be possible to light on fire if it is not in a chain reaction to a flammable structure (e.g. so you couldn't light a tree on fire that would light another tree that would light your science machine on fire). Thirdly, you couldn't light any mob on fire that is within a certain radius of a flammable structure or within a radius of something flammable that would lead to a chain reaction of burning down a structure. Lastly, a flammable structure or an item couldn't be placed down near a flammable object that is in a chain reaction to an already-burning/smouldering item/object. Otherwise, if the check is made and there are no structures that could be lit on fire as a result of player action, then you can light that plant/mob/item. This would still allow players to burn a whole bunch of trees in a safe place for a bunch of charcoal (which you should do in the first place), whilst making sure griefing related to fire doesn't occur. Any firehounds killed in base, however is an intended mechanic, so even if done with griefing intentions, you should expect and be prepared for these things by the time they come. Again, this is to remove unintended possibilities, not intended ones and griefing isn't intended to be possible, to my knowledge at least. Additionally, it would be good if slurtle slime and gunpowder would be impossible to light in a radius of any structures, or at the very least the ice flingomatic.

* Hammering structures - I do not have a griefer-proof idea for this issue, because players often do want to hammer certain structures without a griefing intention in mind. However I have something that may just work well... Making it so that a player cannot hammer any more than 3 structures without crafting one. This would mean that if a griefer hammers down three things, they would no longer be able to hammer anything unless they craft something. This would not apply to signs or skeletons, of course.

* Protecting flingomatics from getting hammered - The above point doesn't address flingomatics still getting hammered, which, even with the above two mechanics implemented, would still result in at least 3 easily-hammerable flingos. What I would suggest are the two following points: Increasing the range at which you need to be in order to fuel, turn on and turn "off" the ice flingomatics, while making it so that you need to be right next to it in order to hammer it. This would mean that you could surround your flingomatics via moon rock walls, insuring for longer that the flingomatic doesn't get hammered (which in result would also make the moonrock walls useful to some extent), while allowing you to easily fuel it without having to deal with hammering the walls every time yourself. The second thing I would suggest is that when a flingo is turned on and there's fire around to be extinguished, it should not be possible to turn off. Right now, it is possible to turn on a flingo that is in emergency mode and switch it off, making it inactive when it should be alert.

 

 

Lastly, a few more suggestions by me and others that I think you should really look into in order to make your game more mechanically as well as aesthetically pleasing:

Talking whilst running

Abandoned bases, visual feature

Snot bombs (I believe I made a topic about this, but I can't seem to find it... strangely, the search in suggestions section seems to be broken; searches don't pick up titles of suggestion topics)

Critters being part of the wild

Slurtle and Snurtle armour drop mechanics

Petition to bring back the Old Bell

 

In any case, these are a large portion of my thoughts on some of the content in the game. If anyone has any ideas on changes that have not been mentioned here, write them in this topic. I might add more points, but only by creating new posts, since this is long and having devs re-read it... they might not even read this once, thinking "tl;dr", which would be a shame :(@V2C you have my back, right? ... right?

Unlocking the camera

$

Hello! I have an eye disease that makes it impossible for me to play games with locked camera (don't ask). This game used to have unlocked camera iirc, and now it doesn't. To clarify when I say unlocked camera, I mean like in typical RTS fashion (like in Starcraft) where you pan the screen with the mouse cursor by moving it to the edges, or with WASD, as opposed to the camera moving only when your character does.

I tried editing the camera file from  self.paused = false - to -  self.paused = true, and it unlocked the camera. However, it kept the camera fixed on the spot where I spawned and never moved, so I need to add screen panning as well, somehow. Can someone point me in the right direction?

All Released Skins (as of now)

So, back in July I made a thread showing off all of the concept art skins before we knew about the clothes system. Since then, the thread died off as it was no longer relevant. So I was thinking, "Hey, the wiki doesn't really show off all of the new clothes, someone should do something about that." But since I can't edit the wiki (or know how to), made this thread showing off all the skins that Klei has released to DST as of now. I will update this thread with new skins as they roll out. enjoy!

I try to learn by trial and error instead of doing a lot of reading as I enjoy the process of discovery but sometimes I make exceptions for the sake of expediency.

 

After dragging suspicious marble around for days I reconstructed the three set pieces.  Waited for a full moon to see what would happen and they came to life and dropped sketches after they were dispatched.   I rebuilt them at my base and one night I heard a loud thunk sound so I went to investigate, all three pieces were shaking (happened to notice it was a new moon, aha).   The battle was way more than I bargained for but I survived and a shadow atrium was dropped.   I also have the key.

 

So what now?   I know something of reconstructing a skeleton (how and with what?), a gate somewhere and an atrium (how do you get there?).    This is my last boss to do solo and after reading a little just getting there seems difficult, upside down tentacles, permanent insanity, and hostile creatures everywhere.    

Game file corrupted

I was playing dst today, and i decided to install a mod

 

It was the auto-catch boomerang mod, because my game was lagging quite a bit and krampus farming was becoming a bit annoying using the feather hat method.

 

However, as I loaded up my game, just before the game screen, i was presented with a game crash where a mod caused the problem. I forgot to take a screenshot cause I thought everything would be fine if i just disable to mod later. Because I installed a couple other boomerang mods that didn't work beforehand, I got a bit impatient and just Alt+F4'd (before clicking the exit game button or disable mods button) there cause the last 2 times had me force close the game anyways. 

 

Now it gives me a fresh new world, and a completely different world seed too.

 

I spent over 150 days in that world, so I'm wondering if it's at all possible to save it. A similar thing happened when i tried changing the server to offline a few days earlier, but it still gave me the same world and everything returned back to normal after switching everything back.

 

Any help?

Hello,

I have bought Don't Starve Together recently, version 215079 release. I'm wondering if "A New Reign" content is included in my version.

There is no option for me to opt in the Beta from the game properties as shown here on the forums, and I believe that "A New Reign" is out of Beta now? however, when I browsed for worlds, some of them gave me a message before joining, like "This is A New Reign compatible world, you need to opt in before joining..." or something like that. Also, when I want to customize my world, notably, I don't see the new giants in there, is that how it's supposed to be or I don't actually have the "A New Reign" content? Is the Beta a regional thing and I'm excluded?

Any help would be much appreciated.

Edit: Also, the memes don't have to be Maxwell themed. All characters are welcome. This is merely a sequel of a previous meme thread.

How do you improve your skills in DST (solo)

I'm currently thinking about challenges for myself to get better at this game and I'm curious how you guys learned the most. Did you set yourself challenges? Did you start new games over and over to get faster in settling down a base? Did you generate new worlds just for the sake of killing the bosses solo (even with cheating in the equipment, so you can concentrate on the fight)? Did you try out all of the characters?

I know there are some topics already where people gave suggestions and I wanted to collect them here.

Let me know what you consider the best strategy for you. I'm very curious : )
