I got a little worn out following a trickle beta so I stepped away for a bit. I see the content was released in full, and I'm wondering if this stuff is still intended to be added to the base game or if the plan just kind of quietly changed?

In the event of the latter, is DST any more practical to play alone/locally now? When last I was around, playing a local game with caves caused some noticeable response time drops, and playing from a dedicated server at the whims of Internet connectivity made combat an unfun mess.

I notice some mods have a little bit of this in them but I don't think I've ever seen a mod that was dedicated to it. Is the community interested at all in that idea because it seems like one of the larger problems the game has. Like, the existence of stuff like the Breezy Vest which is totally useless but if the developers gave it like sixty more insulation it would actually be viable. Wouldn't think it would be a very complicated mod to make although I wouldn't be able to, just seems like nobody has ever thought to try making it though.

The game would be a lot more interesting if all those obscure items and equipment were actually viable to make beyond really niche purposes.

Looking at Night Light's prefab code, it seems to be burnable, but the mouse right click button to torch it when wielding a torch is not available. Is that intended, or a bug?

    inst:AddComponent("burnable") -- line 113

When is it going to happen? Its day 17 and still nothing about it, is Forge going to replace it?

I figured that maybe you guys had potential actors you'd like to play/voice the cast. I'm still drawn toward the voices on top but I'd love to read your hypothetical cast.

Though to add:

Beefalo MAn/Skin Trader: Tom Waits

Winona: Cathy Bates/Sigourney Weaver

Charlie: Susan Egan/ Catherin O' Hara

I've been thinking for a while about some of the more inefficient ways to farm certain items and have been wondering what other people can think of. This isn't meant to troll, just for a laugh or two.

So far I have:

• Ashes - Tap into your inner Runescape player and build a bunch of campfires, when they go out, you get an ash
• Living Logs - Chop a bunch of birchnut trees until a Poison Birchnut Tree spawns. Run away for a bit until it despawns, then chop down the tree and dig the stump, which should give a living log.
• Jet Feathers - Pengulls sometimes drop jet feathers, and if you go to their nests you may find that another mob had killed them for you, and left 1 or 2 feathers.

I'd love to hear your own inefficient advice for this game.

Just curious what people think of some of the mods for Don't Starve Together and see if there are any mods that I should get to enjoy this game some more.

Hello everyone!

We’ve been a bit quiet about Don’t Starve in the last few months, but we’ve been hard at work. Today I’d like to announce a few new things that we’ve been working on:

Don’t Starve: Hamlet

The first thing to announce is that we’ve been working on another Don’t Starve singleplayer DLC! Wilson has found the portal to the origins of the Pigmen, and he’s off to explore their civilization. There may be some bushwhacking and tomb raiding involved, too.

Hamlet will be available in Q1/Q2 2018. More information will be shown as we get closer to launch.

You can check out the store page for screenshots and wishlist it here.

Don’t Starve: Shipwrecked Content Update
We have a little surprise for you: Shipwrecked is getting more content! We have added the following to the game as a free update.

In order to test these changes, we’ve put it into a Steam branch called “beta” with the password “shipwreckedbeta”, which is available now. Here are instructions on how to access the beta: http://support.kleientertainment.com/customer/portal/articles/2873712

World

• Crockodogs. Will hound you at land and sea.
• Ballphin followers and the Ballphin Den.
• Roe. New food item. Stocks the fish farm.
• Cormorants. New sea bird. Source of Roe.
• Tar Slick. Pools of crude oil bubbling on the surface of the water.
• Tar. New resource.
• 3 new variety of tropical fish.
• Rainbow Jellyfish. 
• Coral Nubbin. Replant coral after it's mined.
• Ox will produce offspring.

New Craftables

• Galley and Sea Lab . Make your base at sea.
• Sea Yard. Keeps your ship repaired on the water.
• Tar Extractor. Gets Tar from Tar Slick.
• Tar Suit. Temporary protection from wetness.
• Tar patch. A sticky situation.    
• Oil Lamp. Quick lightsource for land and sea.    
• Fish Farms. Grow food on the water.
• Encrusted Boat.
• Quackering Ram. New craftable for the Quacken Beak.
• Sea wall. Water craftable wall. Blocks waves.
• Tropical Bouillabaisse. New recipe with new tropical fish. 
• Caviar. New recipe with Roe

Don’t Starve Together: The Forge

In addition to the singleplayer DLC, we are also announcing that we are working on a series of events for Don’t Starve Together. DST events are limited-time play modes that create a new way to play with the cast of Don’t Starve. They serve as a way to mix up the experience, allowing us to try crazy new things without breaking the core game. Events are free for everyone who owns DST to play and will be coming in November.

With the Ancient Gateway activated our survivors now find themselves trapped in a hostile world of fire and battle. They’ll need to team up to defeat the Battlemaster’s army and his champion, the Grand Forge Boarrior, if they have any hopes of returning home. Here’s what’s in store in Don’t Starve’s first event, The Forge:

• 6-player co-op challenge, where the goal is to try and defeat the Grand Forge Boarrior in an arena. The only way to survive will be to work together.
• New creatures and bosses with their own attack patterns.
• New character traits for all characters, each with their own bonuses during combat.
• New weapons, armor, items, and combat abilities to help you survive the onslaught.

Players who participate in the event will also be eligible to earn event specific skins. For the skin system, we are doing several changes:

• Far more skins will drop for players than ever before (by a factor of 4x or more!)
• There’s a new trader in town! If you get duplicates, you will be able to break them down to scrap and craft them into event items.
• The event features event-time skin drops, including the Warrior Skin Set, putting each character in grizzled gladiator-wear.
• In addition to the chance of receiving them as drops, players will have the option to purchase a single character’s Warrior Skin Set for $2.99, or the entire Warrior Skin Set collection for $12.99.
• The nature of the skins themselves will not change, they are still purely cosmetic and optional. However, purchase of the Warrior Set will help us fund further content and events like this one.

We hope that with this mechanism, we can both continue creating great free content while also supporting the development team. In addition, this method of funding allows us to provide content to all our players, instead of splitting the player community if we implemented it with a DLC paywall.

This is just the first of many experiments we intend to run, and we would love your feedback! We have many ideas for events, and we would love to know what you would liketo see. 

And more!
Besides events, we will also continue working on Quality of Life improvements and bug fixes. 

And finally, a new challenger has arrived in Don’t Starve Together, and she is coming to all platforms and is available on Steam now!

Armed with her indomitable spirit and trusty mending tape, Winona seems to have been plucked straight off the factory line and dropped into the world of Don’t Starve for something or someone’s unfathomable amusement. There may be more to her arrival than it appears, however, as more than a few eyes will be watching the next move of the newest survivor…

Whew, that’s it! Once again, thank you for your support of our games! 

F.A.Q.

When is Hamlet coming?
We estimate Q1/Q2 next year, but as always, we’ll keep working until we feel it’s ready!

Why not sell DLC for Don’t Starve Together instead of skins?
DST is a multiplayer game, and we decided that we want everyone to be able to play, instead of splitting the community. We hope that in this way, we can continue to develop updates for the game while allowing everyone to enjoy it.

When is The Forge being released?
We are aiming to release it this November.

Are the events coming to console?
The events are going to launch first on PC, but we are looking into bringing them to other platforms at a later date.

I'm not sure if I should put this under bugs, but my world isn't loading. I hit a rollback while in the caves/ruins and whenever it tries to launch its says "Connection Failed Something Went Awry Try Again Later". Or something like that. I'm not sure what the problem is, but I really don't want to lose this world.

I have a collectible Snow Chester plush that I bought during the chester plush kickstarter a couple years ago, but I only just now found out that plushes from the store have redeemable codes for Don't Starve Together? I checked the tag of the plush and it doesn't look like there is anything on there and I definitely don't have the packaging anymore, does anybody know if snow chester plushes even have a code for it? If so, where do I find it or who can I contact to get a new one for it?

Hi, it has come to my attention that Klei has added human meat to the game previously but has removed it due to it being too macabre.

However, human meat turned out to give a big penalty to health and Sanity. WX-78 is able to eat gears while upgrading it's own maximum stats and increasing it's current stats heavily.

This is WX-78's inspection dialogue with gears that still exists to this day.

Robot equality is a serious problem as an incountable amount of robot lives are ended by disrespectful humans everyday.

Here are some more examples of the pain that robots receive everyday:

So I personally think Klei should go on and give robots some respect in their videogame so they arent traumatized in videogames where people go to have a good time for them to get scared of such macabre cannibalism. Please give me your thoughts.

A little tip for any Willow in the neighborhood, if you want to produce a handful of nightmare fuel:

I would love some feedback :P

The Forge is almost here! But first, we’re gonna need a little bit of help. 

Beginning with The Forge, we’re doing something new with the introduction of Event Servers. Event servers are new on demand servers available for battles in The Forge and future events. Whether you start your own game or join up in a quick match you and your team will be playing on a dedicated server running specially for the event. 

We’ve been play-testing for a little while now and we’re currently putting on the last of the finishing touches, but since we have never done this type of thing before, we want to do a bit of a stress test so see how the servers hold up. 

Beginning Monday October 23rd we will be opening a beta branch for players to come check out The Forge. Come help us stress test the servers and give us your feedback for final testing and balance before we open up in November!

As with all Betas, things could go a little wonky and might get a bit messy at times, but we could really use the help to make the official launch as smooth as possible.

The Beta officially begins on October 23, at 2pm PDT. See you here!

Yes, I know this sounds stupid, but let me explain myself. Out of all the characters, only 2 of them (Winona hasn't really done anything yet) really matter lorewise, and the others are just... their for some reason. At this point nobody's expecting a full on 612 page epic on the life story of Wes, so do you think it would hurt to much to just plop in someone else? Just as well as they fir the theme of the game, their name starts with a W, they aren't to crazy OP, and they have no impact on the lore whatsoever, would it be possible? And no, I'm not saying that Walter or Wisteria are gonna pop up in the next trailer or puzzle, but theirs nothing really stopping them from existing.

Will reporting and banning people for terrible behavior be a thing in DST?

Anyone got any Don't Starve video memes??? Dump em here! I'll link one of my own 

Hello everyone, I apologize in advance for any language errors.

Last time I saw a popular trend among creators of other games, namely rewards for connecting accounts, owning Twitch Prime, or watching streams from a particular game. Usually they reward players with special skins or loot boxes. In addition, developers often grant codes to content creators or creators of a community. Hence my questions.

• First question: Is there a chance of something like this happening with Don't Starve Together?
• Second question: Will there EVER be a possibility of granting codes for skins for watching Klei's streams etc. if there is a reedem codes system?

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

• Don't ask where the Base is Right After Joining: This one's simple, but it goes a long way in not annoying people. Now I know that when you first enter a server you want to know where you can come to at night to cook and spam the /dance emote, but be patient. If you aren't given directions or offered an escort, explore, gather some things, get your bearings. People will respect you more if you survive a few days before asking where the base is located. Who knows, you may even find it on your own!
• Don't Pick Everything: When first entering one of the many randomly generated islands, our brains tend to immediately slip into PICK ALL THE THINGS mode, especially those of us who've spent a fair amount of time in the single player game. However, when playing in multipayer, one has to stop and think, "Hey, if I systematically pick every bit of flint, grass, twigs, and food from around the portal in a ten mile radius, then there won't be anything left for new players!" Please, be considerate. How can you expect new players to survive a few days if they can't even scrounge up enough for a torch?
• Drop some Flint by the Portal: It's a small thing that'll help out people just entering the server. You don't even have to go out of the way to do it; if you happen to be pasing by the portal and have some flint to spare, just drop some by it, or make a pickaxe to leave behind so they can collect their own. Heck, I've heard of people making a chest by the portal containing equipment like torches, rabbit earmuffs, and pickaxes to help new players out.
• Don't Enter in Winter or Summer: Pay attention to the day and season of the server you're joining. If you want to join in a difficult season for some extra challenge, go ahead. Just don't expect everyone to drop what they're doing to help you out.
• If you don't want Strangers, set a Password: You'd think this one would be a no brainer, but I've heard a lot of stories of people joining servers just to be kicked the moment they enter. I assume it only happens when someone doesn't know that they can make a password for they're server, but still, it's rude.
• Drop your Stuff Before you Leave: Before you leave a server, it's nice to drop your items on the ground so others can use them. If you're playing with familiar people on a server you know you'll be on again, you can keep your equipment. In any case it's still rude to leave with gears, a big stack of silk, or any other important items still in your inventory, selfishly taking them out of reach of the unfortunate players left on the server.
• Keep Busy: Look around the base. Does it still need some drying racks? A crockpot? Some farms? Do the traps need to be emptyed? Are you low on wood? Look around for things that need to be done, and if you're having trouble finding something, it never hurts to ask. No one likes a leach.

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.
