Hello! I decided to make a super thread where all your (and mine as well) questions would be answered by people already experienced it or who have the time to test it.
The questions mainly focus on the vanilla game, less mods oriented.
Q: Is there any way to extend the Flingomatic's range?
A: Yes, there is: How to enhance the power of your Ice Flingomatic.
Q: How to multiply Moleworms?
A: You can multiply them slow (or fast-exploitish) like this.
Q: Do items you left on the ground disappear after Caves Reset?
A: No, they don't.
Q: Can Berry Bushes/Twiggy Saplings/Grass Tufts get "disease" when planted in caves?
A: No, they don't. Only tested with Berry Bushes, but it should be safe with the others as well. I think this is because Disease only procs when it's day time.
Q: Do Thulecite Walls respawn when Caves Reset?
A: No, they don't.
Q: Do Splumonkey Pod respawn when Caves Reset?
A: Yes, they do. In the exact same spot. Fencing them might be a better idea than destroying them every time.
Q: Do Tree Guards spawn in caves?
A: Yes, they do.
Q: Do Grass Gekkos spawn in caves from Grass Tufts?
A: Yes, they do. They don't spawn in caves by world generation tho. Answered by fimmatek
Q: Does the scaled furnace output different heat depending on the season?
A: No, it doesn't. Thermal Stones left near the Scaled Furnace will show different colors depending on the ambient temperature.
A thermal stone left near a Scaled Furnace will glow orange when it is winter, but will be yellow/white when it is not winter. The thermal stone will have the same temperature all year, but will change colors depending on seasons. Answered by I Heart Popcorn and fimmatek
Q: What are the mechanical differences between DS and DST?
A: List of differences. Also for mobs/items hp/stats you can check wiki. On almost every page there is a DST Section/Tab.
Q: How does Wigfrid's lifesteal work?
A: It has the formula: lifesteal = enemydamage * 0.25 * (playerdamage / enemymaxhealth)
The lifesteal value can be no less than 0.33, and no greater than 2, but will only proc if greater than 1. Playerdamage is defined by the player's default damage or if they're holding a weapon, their weapon damage, both of which are taken before damage multipliers (that means if you're using a weapon weaker than your default punching damage, e.g. fishing rod, you're actually lowering your effective lifesteal). Answered by KoreanWaffles
Example 1: Axe vs Spider
lifesteal = 20 * 0.25 * (27.2 / 100) = 1.36
Every time Wigfrid attacks a spider with an axe, she'll vamp 1.36 health and sanity.
Example 2: Dark Sword vs Hound
lifesteal = 20 * 0.25 * (68 / 150) = 2.267 → 2
Every time Wigfrid attacks a hound with a dark sword, she'll vamp 2 health and sanity.
Example 3: Battle Spear vs Dragonfly
Note: Dragonfly's default damage is 150, but she has a 0.5 damage modifying to players, so she only does 75 damage to players.
lifesteal = 150 * 0.25 * (42.5 / 27500) = 0.058 → 0.33
Wigfrid's lifesteal does not surpass the minimum threshold of 1, so she gains no health or sanity. However, after hitting Dragonfly 4 times, she will have stored 0.33 * 4 = 1.32 health, and her lifesteal ability will proc, giving her 1.32 health and sanity.
Q: How to keep underground / cave flowers from wilting?
A: Plant them under light shaft (natural light coming from the surface), that's all you can do. Evil flowers on the other hand never wilt. If you need flowers for honey production then use evil flowers. Just plant regular ones and then haunt them. Answered by Maslak
Q: What is the ideal gear/clothing to wear during the fight with Klaus?
A: You can keep a chilled amulet in your inventory, switch to it whenever you get too hot; and go near a fire or a dwarf star when you get too cold. Or beefalo hat and some kind of body armor / hibernation vest and football helmet. Answered by Majestix
How to tackle Klaus like a pro
Q: Can wild grass get disease from nearby diseased plants?
A: No, it can't. Answered by Wikia
Q: What Food source should you prioritize on securing early game?
A: Monster Meat and berries. Maybe Bee Boxes and Rabbit Hutches. Answered by Viktor234
You can also use Morsel (from a Moleworm Farm/Rabbit Traps) to cook Bacon and Eggs, using a Bird Cage for eggs and Monster Meat. This is my first and main priority in early and late game. It's just the best food to make.
Q: How do I deal with large amounts of staling food?
A: If it's meat you can feed it to a bird in a cage to get eggs. If the eggs are going bad, then cook them and give them back to the bird. As for veggies/fruits either use them as Crock Pot fillers, let them turn into Rot (Only useful for Booster Shots & crafting Mushroom Planters) or place them next to a Werepig to turn all the veggies into Manure (Probably the best solution; 1x Seeds + 2x Manure can be used to fully grow a crop planted in the Improved Farm). Answered by Sinister_Fang and Viktor234
Q: How does WX-78s "SYSTEM OVERLOAD" work in DST?
A: Full answer here.
Q: Is there a way to glitch into the ocean efficiently, without having to build a wardrobe or place a lureplant, something not very resource-consuming the can be done Early-Game?
A: 2x (Marble Statue, Wooden gate and Walls) in this order towards the ocean next to each other. It's reusable but won't always work perfectly. Type '/rescue' to get back on land. Answered by Viktor234
Q: How do Clothing insulation work in all seasons?
A: Wiki says it here: Overheating and Freezing.
Q: How to max insulation in summer and winter with clothes+thermal stone (And the difference between DS and DST)?
A: Max insulation on winter is Beefalo Hat + Hibernation Vest/Puffy Vest. On summer it's Eyebrella/Ice Cube + Floral Shirt. To which you add the fully charged Thermal Stone. The biggest difference I would say is that in caves you won't get overheated. Meaning that Summer can be an "All Cave Season". It also won't rain during summer in the underground.
Q: How do i secure gears in a caveless world?
A: Ways to get Gears in DST:
-
Clockworks: Appear randomly in the world, can also be spawned with the Suspicious Marbles only once during full moon
-
Tumbleweed: Picking about 23 Tumbleweeds has a 50% chance to grant at least 1x Gears
-
Ruins: Killing Damaged Clockworks grants Gears with 100% chance; hammering Broken Clockworks grants Gears with 25% chance Answered by Viktor234
Q: How does the Suspicious Marble thing work?
A: Find a Suspicious Marble and the corresponding Marble Sculpture to get a repaired version of the sculpture. If you mine it in the night during
-
Full Moon (Recommended for Gears): It will spawn the corresponding Clockwork and the Sketch for the Potter's Wheel
-
New Moon: It will spawn the corresponding Shadow Piece and the Sketch for the Potter's Wheel; the Shadow Piece will spawn other Shadow Pieces if there are more repaired Marble Sculptures or Rook/Knight/Bishop Figures nearby
(1) can be only done with the repaired Marble Sculptures while (2) can be done with Marble Sculptures or Potter's Wheel Figures. Answered by Viktor234
Q: How and when do catcoons respawn?
A: Catcoons spawn from Hollow Stumps. It is quite a big period of time till they respawn. It will take at least one-one and a half season to respawn.
Q: Does the Oasis desert sandstorm put out fires and torches?
A: No, it doesn't.
Ok, so go on, ask your question, so it gets answered and added to the thread!
