Metheus Puzzle 3 Question

$
0
0

Hello. Currently, me and a friend are doing metheus and are trying to it as spoiler free as possible. However, after we finished the second panel on the right and searched for clues all over (inspecting the website, clicking on torches and smoke, raising the brightness and contrast of all/any images ect) we did decide to look up what to do next without looking up the actual solution. So basically, I know I need to go to a chest in-game that's in the ruins. I have 2 questions, though.

1. Do me and my friend go to the same chest in the same world, or do we need our own worlds to go to?

2. Does it have to be a new world, or can it be one that I've already created?

I'd normally want to find out on my own, but it'd be very time consuming for me, and I'd rather just know this part of the puzzle so that I can continue onward. Also, please don't spoil the actual puzzle solution! Thanks :)

 meatballs more like METAballs am i right

 Configuration

 This mod lets you choose between 7 different ways to nerf meatballs:

 lasaga - Monster meat with ice always results in monster lasagna

 no ice - Ice cannot be used as filler for meatballs

 no monster - Only regular meats can be used for meatballs

 less hunger - Meatballs will only restore 37.5 hunger

 death - Eating meatballs is lethal

 overpowdered - Meatballs are made using gunpowder

 crash - Making meatballs causes a crash

the purpose of this is so that klei no longer needs to bother nerfing meatballs anymore
you're welcome

Thinking of a private DST server

$
0
0

A while ago, I started up a private Terraria server for those who don't really get to experience Terraria in multiplayer. During boss fights, online players often reached 10 players, and this season about 20 people signed up.

 

Now, finally turning my head back to DST, I've noticed some similar problems here. Though I am an advanced player at this game (survived about two whole years, I think that I lost the world), I need some tips from you guys about how I should structure server signups. Here's what I'm thinking:

  • Limit is 8 players
  • Players sign up here on the forums
  • Server is up on Tuesdays, Thursdays, and the weekend for 3 hours a day
  • Griefing obviously isn't allowed
  • If everyone dies, a new server thread goes up
  • Intermediate to expert level

 Please tell me what you guys think, as you guys probably know more than me about this kind of stuff.

World with default settings - no clockwork mobs

$

Today, I generated a new world based on default settings. However, there is no clockwork knight, bishop or rook. I even tried c_gonext("knight")/c_gonext("bishop")... but the server responded with "Could not find any objects matching 'bishop'/'knight'". 

The dedicated server version is 2006932. The worldgenovveride.lua contains:

return {
  override_enabled = true,
  preset = "SURVIVAL_TOGETHER",
  overrides = {
    --(...)
    chess = "default",
    --(...)
  },
}

This shouldn't happen because the DST update changelog of "HOTFIX 193331 - 10/14/2016" has the following fix:

Quote

• New worlds are guaranteed to contain a Maxwell Statue and at least one Clockwork Knight.

Can anyone tell me if it is possible with the aforementioned config files to have a world generated without any clockwork mob?

The Scale of Skill - Scale for new and experienced players

$
0
0

Hi!

I've played with a lot of people in my past, and, of course, most of them had many different skill levels. It gets kind of hard to measure their skill and what I do/don't need to teach them, so I've made a scale for both new and experienced players to use to roughly propose how good they are (and how well they work with other people).

This will be split up into five scales, all from 1-5:

-(E) Efficiency (how well you plan out your days, your base, your boss fights)

Spoiler

1 - I never plan out my plan sessions, think about future days, make plans, or any of that stuff. I think about stuff spontaneously and make up plans by the second. My base is spread out, messy, and inefficient, and my inventory is always full.

2 - Occasionally, I do plan out days, but not very often. Sometimes I think about what I should do next when I'm waiting for the night to pass. Objects in my base are placed alright, but sometimes aren't very lined up/has a few flaws. I always drop stuff on the floor whenever I need to clean my messy inventory.

3 - For many big projects/advancements, I do plan out what I'm going to do to achieve my goals. My base looks pretty alright, and I have a chest to put items that I may lose in (such as rocks to protect from moleworms and pigskins to protect from Spiders).

4 - Every day, I plan out what I'm going to do in the next few days. My base looks great, I have a couple of chests to keep base looking clean, I always sort out my inventory and think about what I will and won't need for my next goal, and I place items in my base perfectly to make sure that they get covered by an Ice Flingomatic (unless I decide to base in the Caves) and I make sure that the Flingomatic doesn't touch my firepit.

5 - I keep tabs of my plans for the far future, no matter if it's tomorrow or in 15 days. I always know what I'm going to do next, and do certain actions before or after the next to make sure that it benefits me to the fullest with as less materials and time used as necessary. My base is perfectly symmetrical, covered by a Flingomatic (unless in caves), clean, efficient, safe, and supplemented.

6 - I'm too good for this scale.

-(F) FIghting (how well you know how to kite and kill various mobs and monsters)

Spoiler

1 - Fighting? What's that? I just let the Beefalo I base next to do everything. I can't kite, fight, or tank anything, not even a spider.

2 - I can kite a few mobs without dying - such as spiders, catcoons, maybe spider warriors, and even a hound if I'm lucky.

3 - Fighting groups of spiders, catcoons, and hounds are no problem. Spider warriors are a little tough, but if there aren't too many of them, I'll be fine. I can efficiently defend myself against early hound attacks, and I think I can kill butterflies now.

4 - Simple monsters are things of the past. Early hound attacks have become a cakewalk. I now know how to efficiently kill bigger monsters such as Beefalo, Tallbirds, Tentacles, and groups of Bees, though they may be a bit challenging in larger groups.  I may be able to pull of a Giant, but they're pretty hard to me.

5 - I no longer need to rely on monsters to fight each other to get rid of them. Simple monsters can easily be handled in hoardes, and bigger monsters will probably be able to be handled, provided that there aren't a million of them. As well as being able to defeat Giants singlehandedly, I also know strategies on how to kill other bosses, such as Krampus, Bee Queen, Toadstool, Klaus, and even the Ancient Fuelweaver.

6 - I'm too good for this scale, pleb.

 

-(C) Cooking (your knowledge of the most efficient crockpot recipes, and how to make them)

Spoiler

1 - Crockpot? What's that?

2 - I now know that the Crockpot is a structure that can make magical food item that I may want in my base. I only know one or two recipes, those being Meatballs and Wet Goop (if I put in all twigs). However, the food items used in the recipe may mathematically outweigh the value of the meatballs themselves. I'm still experimenting with some recipes.

3 - Oh, I know some pretty good recipes, like Bacon and Eggs, Honey Nuggets, maybe some other health-restoring foods, Meaty Stew, and of course, Meatballs are still with me. Occasionally, while making these (especially Meatballs), I stop to consider that the food items may outweigh the hunger value of the Meatballs themselves. I'm still experimenting with this.

4 - I know what food items are and aren't efficient, and what they're good at restoring. I know when individual items outweigh the hunger value of the crockpot food itself. I eat these if they outweigh the said hunger value, and I only use Meatballs to get rid of all of that Monster Meat.

5 - I basically know all of the crockpot foods in the game, and what they're good at restoring. I know exactly when items outweigh the hunger value of the food itself, and also know when this may be beneficial or can be used for other means (such as Monster Meat for Werepigs, instead of being used for Meatballs).

-(K) Character Knowledge (how much you know about your character, and strategies you use with them)

Spoiler

1 - But he's a robot, he shouldn't have sanity!

2 - I have a basic understanding of the perks and drawbacks of each character, but I'm not sure what they're going to do for me/how to use them.

3 - I now fully understand how the perks and drawbacks work, and I use them on occassion. However, I don't necesarilly use them efficiently.

4 - I have an extended idea of perks and drawbacks, I use them often, and I can use them effectively.

5 - I have a multibranch idea of a character's perks and drawbacks, I use them all the time, I use them extremely often, and I also used advanced tactics and strategies to use my character's power to the fullest.

6 - Boi, I am Wolfgang.

-(T) Teamwork and Leadership (how well you can cooperate and deal with other players)

Spoiler

1 - What is a "tee-am"?

2 -I know that there are other people, but I just make a base by myself, even if it's an administrated server with no risk of griefers.

3 - I do work in a base with other people, but for the most part, I do things alone as much as possible. I don't communicate and talk very well with my team.

4 - I frequently talk with my team about my plans for the upcoming days, and so do they. Whenever necessary, I do activities with them.

5 - I talk with my team well and communication is always fantastic. If there's someone who doesn't know something, I teach them politely. I know exactly when working together or working individually will be beneficial or hurtful, and I and my team establish tasks to each other to make sure that we all reach our goals efficiently and quickly.

6 - I lead all!

Formatting example: E4 F5 C4 K3 T3

Yes, I am aware that this scale is definitely subject to criticism, plus it may not fit in all cases. If you'd like, suggest more categories to add to this scale as there's probably a lot of them I'm missing out on, or you can suggest a change to it constructively. Thanks!

(I understand that this will probably cause controversy, arguments about subjective players, flame wars, etc., but please do not go there. The only reason why I made this is to make things easier for you and your friends. Do not let this become another meatballs nerf thread or else I'll just delete this topic because god almighty I've seen enough of those, thank you, goodbye.)

Don't Starve Shower Thoughts

Have you ever thought about the most absurd questions about the DS franchise that you've asked yourself many times in the shower? Ever wanted some thoughts or answers to it?

Well now you can! 

(get those)

Here, you can ask whatever strange questions you want for others to see, comment on, or even answer. Here's an example.

=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-

1. If every sanity aura decreases exponentially the farther you get from it, does this mean that our character is still experiencing every sanity aura of every mob, but it's so ridiculously small that we never notice it?

2. Will Nome ever notice me?

3. How can our characters go on for so long without sleeping?

4. How did Abigail die?

5. Is Wendy really that depressed?

6. Why is WIlson so adorable?

=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=

And, if you ever happen to try and answer their questions, you should use an @ to get back to them. If you see that a question has been answered, edit your post and cross it off the list using a strikethrough. You shouldn't have to create a new post if you come up with more.

So, what are you waiting for? GIve me the most ridiculous DS questions you've ever had, and maybe try answering some!

You can start with the example I provided.

How to make a 500+day server run smooth again?

$

So , i just realized that after a long time playing on the same world , with 500+ days or so, the amount of trash that stays on the ground makes the server lag. Not too much for me, but a lot for some of my friends, either way its an issue for everybody.

The first thing that comes in my mind is using console commands to get rid of the items on the ground, but i am not sure what commands to use, if they are effective, and if it may accidentally  delete important things from the world. Also, any other advice on keeping a server running smooth for a long time will be very appreciated.

TLDR : I Would like to know console commands to keep 500 day+ worlds running smooth , thanks!

Question About Online and Offline mode

Hello, my nickname is Soulk, i am from Venezuela, it's a sad situation that my internet conection struggle very often at the point that i get not internet conection at all specially at night time when i usually play around 6pm to 10pm, so i like the skin aspect of the game but i currently play offline because of my conection issues but on Offline mode you get no access at all to skins.

My question is could be possible to either play my Online world in offline mode?? because i had to create a separate offline world but its not funny if i was already on 100+ days on my online world and when i play with out the skins it feels akward to me, or can i be able to use the skins i own on offline games?

I tried changing the cluster file of the world like this:

[NETWORK]
lan_only_cluster = true
cluster_intention = cooperative
cluster_description = 
cluster_name = Soulk's World
offline_cluster = false ----------------------------> this in to true but i was not able to play.
cluster_password = 

So i dont mind if i can keep playing the online world in offline mode without skins but when i have my conection fixed i could continue my online world.

 

If neither of this options are possible just take the suggestion of adding some sort of way to use the skin that you currently own in offline worlds that would be great so i could play every world in offline mode and "farm" my free skins when my conection its working then play offline again.

 

I only play alone since my conection can't handle online servers, but i do play on LAN with a friend some times. (when he has the time to come over my house with his laptop.)

Wigfrid's Character Breaks - a Short Background

$
0
0

Every now and then, the question of Wigfrid and her pasts has always been asked. "Is she actually a viking?" "Has she went insane with acting?" Well sir, I', here to give a short explanation as to why Wigfrid is the way she is. Let's look into modern-day theatre and acting - and we'll start with the concept of method acting.

Basically, method acting is a tactic that some actors use in order to do their best onstage, or onscreen, or wherever. What they do is, instead of just simply acting as the said character, they literally try their best to make themselves that character - going as far as going on strange diets, refusing to eat, almost never revealing their real self to public. One example is Heath Ledger, who used method acting to turn himself into the Joker (from Batman). However, said character also messed up his life itself, sometimes staying up for hours in a night being awoken by the Joker's insane thoughts.

Now, back to the Don't Starve universe. Wigfrid is probably also using method acting, as she seems to manipulate her own diets (only meat), her body structure (strength), and knows how to craft more realistic props for her character. Of course, there are times when she breaks out of character, and that is also perfectly logical. I'm not sure if it was Heath, but whoever was playing Two-Face in one of the Batman movies was using method acting. However, one of the crew members was carrying a light, which completely threw the actor off, getting him off-character. Fortunately, he was able to get back into character quickly. Wigfrid also experiences this at times, while inspecting certain items.

I hope you enjoyed my brief essay on Wigfrid and her relation to real-world acting. Thanks!

Trees set on "few" = vegetation overgrown?!

$
0

Do you remember when setting earthquakes to less actually increased the "default" of it - like A LOT? I think this is happening now with vegetation. Story short: I made a server with all things set on "few" as a challenge, picked Wig and set out to conquer the dark forests supposed to be glades or something. To my surprise a couple of seasons later I encountered the growth best illustrated in print screen below:

weird_overgrown

 

That's happening in inner Ruins, Military biome close to Ancient Pseudoscience Station (the complete one). So now growth happens - aka evergreens, lumpy, mushtrees, birchnuts - in all the wrong places resulting in Ruins, Swamps etc being overrun by dense forests of said tree variants. And this happening, again, when setting trees on "few". My question: is this normal?

 

If it's a bug, pls an admin move present topic in the bug threads. Thanks in advance!

 

PS: all 4 seasons are set on "very long", in case it counts.
