With Warly's addition to the roster of misfits, his abilities along with the new crops and recipes have brought about some criticisms. The recipes are unbalanced, and there is little use in maintaining varied diets. Here are some notable points: 

Meatballs = Overpowered: With the minimum of half a meat value and three fillers, this dish is far too easy to make for what it provides. 62.5 hunger is immense, and it makes other hunger-based recipes obsolete. 

Warly's new recipes are iffy, some are useful such as the Volt Goat Chaud-Froid, but are outclassed by meatballs. Monster Tartare provides 62.5 hunger, -20 sanity and -20 health and is great for characters like Wormwood and Webber. It requires 2 monster meat at minimum however, so why would anybody cook Tartare when they could use that 2 meat for 2 meatballs, netting them a total of 125 hunger? 

Warly's limited use: His portable equipment and his chef pouch are welcome additions, but it's the spices that cement his role as a strong support. He is not consistently vital, and the upkeep required with him makes me yearn to switch characters as soon as possible. His damage resist, damage boost and efficiency boost spices can be mass produced and applied to the never-rotting powdercakes. Once that happens, he is no longer needed. The buffs can be stored almost indefinitely, leaving Warly with no active purpose other than his 25% faster crockpot cooking speed.

His exclusive dishes are also useful, albeit niche. But with so many crops, it's difficult to maintain a regular flow of asparagus, toma root, onion, potato, garlic and pepper. His recipes often end up being cooked very rarely because of this, even with a Worm/Wicker combo. 

Another example of Warly's lack of use stems from his sanity dishes. Now, he was never advertised as a sanity-sater, but I don't think a great chef should be outdone by a spider-boy and an imp. Warly's highest sanity dish, Moqueca, grants 33 sanity, whereas other survivors can craft new dishes that are on par to that sanity gain. Banana pops, Salsa Fresca, Vegetable Stinger and Creamy Potato Puree all grant 33 sanity, and can be cooked by all characters. (Warly's exclusive Puffed Potato dish only provides 15 sanity, which I think is wasteful of potatoes when others can make the mightier Potato Puree).

I think the food system as a whole needs an overhaul, with plenty of new farming options and dishes that are viable. Because really, why does anyone need to make anything other than meatballs or pierogi? I say we take some precedent from Hamlet, and introduce shops/traveling merchants to the game to make the world feel a bit more alive! These merchants can sell a plethora of goodies, such as a set of 10 potatoes for 15 currency (perhaps gold) amongst other ingredients, to make a varied palette achievable. Possibly a new use for pigs as well, I'm keen on the idea of hiring/enslaving our pork friends to farm for us, or even cook for us! (We/the pig farmer funnels them ingredients, we set a list of dishes we want cooked, and they make it).

What are your thoughts on balancing recipes and the state of Warly? Any ideas on how to improve farming, or how to introduce new mechanics such as trading and pig farmers that would compliment the food system? 

I realized when Warly came out some changes with quotes of some characters like Wormwood examination for rot (from "Mmmmh" to "Not good for belly").

But one thing that I find weird is Wortox's announcement when a giant comes. (You can try it if you want :D)

It was changed to "Clipping and clopping, here comes a stomping" to "A massive brute is en route". Since many of Wortox's quotes have some kind of reference to some song or movie, do you know where that might come from ? Especially since it has french in it now.

PS : I first thought it was a bug, but it was confirmed that it wasn't. (here's the post I made a while back)

After a few hours trying to figure out the reason for this "bug", I realized that. the creatures cross some structures because the structures disappear at a certain distance, but the creatures keep walking, causing the creatures to walk where the structures are placed. i don't know if this is a bug or is it supposed to be like this.

Where to find new ingredients for crock pot? Like pepper or garlic, etc.? 

Hi everyone. I know that Wes and Woodie is used for a hard dificult level at experience during the game but this is sound like an excuse for not balance those char. If you see... all characters is good at something (dont tell me that Woodie is good to cut tree cause Maxwell is betther), you need to keep using mod if you wish to buff and give some balance for those char. If adm use a program of statistic, they will see that few player use Woodie and even less Wes to play. The point is... i dont wanna use mod cause i wanna play at server from other people and those char need a balance for people play with those char more offen. All the char must be good at something. If you need some idea about what should improve in those both char, check mod related. I hope to play with all the characters equal.

Klei, are we getting gorge this year? As much as I love the new content and didn't really expect the gorge, the "unannounced" piece of content on the Warly update notes and the Warly Victorian skin have made me so enthusiastic to pretty much expect the event to make a return.

Ever notice that in wolfgangs portrait he is lifting a weight? What if you had to do that to get mightiness? You would work out with some dumbbells, using hunger in the process, and gain mightiness that way. Could be an interesting idea for the inevitable rework, he still has his massive damage and stats, but you need to do a little more than just stuffing your face.

So as we all know that Broodling need one chilled lavae which can be require lavae egg which dropped by dragonfly with chance of 33%

I think this is a bit expensive, non of other pets require a boss loot, not to mention that it's not guaranteed chance and it's raid boss.

So what do you think?

After enjoying Warly for some amount of time, analyzing his pros and cons, I noticed something about Warly's penalty for eating the same dish multiple times.

Many newcomers suffer from Warly because they don't know any crock pot recipes besides Meatballs, Ratatouille, or Fist Full of Jam. But eating Meatballs only will increase the penalty of Meatballs & reduce the restored hunger down to 18.75 per Meatballs, forcing them to eat a total of 5 Meatballs daily. They'll quickly loose meat & fillers, won't be able to make more meatballs, and finally die from starvation.

But the truth is:

Warly actually can survive on 2x Meatballs per day:

Warly has an 20% increased hunger penalty, forcing him to restore at least 90 hunger daily, which is the same as 1.44 Meatballs. And once he starts eating more and more Meatballs, 2 Meatballs will only grant hunger equal to 0.6 Meatballs. But besides that, he also has a pretty big stomach, allowing him to store a total of 250 hunger, which is enough to survive for 2.78 days. And if he manages not to eat the same dish for exactly 2.0 days, his whole penalty on that kind of dish will just disappear.

Or in other words: If Warly manages to restore 180 hunger with one kind of dish, then his penalty for that dish will disappear once he starts starving again.

To reach this goal, you'll have to cook some dishes and eat them all at once to reduce the time for the dish reset.
Let's take a look at different dishes:

• Meaty Stew + Meatballs (212.5):
  • Dishes per 2 days: 1 (1x Meaty Stew + 1x Meatballs)
  • Total hunger restored: 212.5 (of 212.5)
  • Effectiveness: 100%
  • Total increased hunger drain: 20%
  • Notes:
    • That's just an example how to avoid his penalty completely & to compare 0% penalty with >0% penalty
• Meaty Stew (150):
  • Dishes per 2 days: 2
  • Total hunger restored: 285 (of 300)
  • Effectiveness: 95%
  • Total increased hunger drain: 26.32%
  • Notes:
    • Eat the 2nd Meaty Stew as soon as your hunger reaches 115 to avoid loosing hunger from the 2nd one
    • Since 2x Meaty Stew restore a total of 285 hunger, Warly will be able to avoid starving for a total of 3.17 days with 2x Meaty Stew
• Beacon & Eggs / Honey Ham / Turkey Dinner / Dragonpie (75):
  • Dishes per 2 days: 3
  • Total hunger restored: 202.5 (of 225)
  • Effectiveness: 90%
  • Total increased hunger drain: 33.33%
• Meatballs (62.5):
  • Dishes per 2 days: 4
  • Total hunger restored: 209.375 (of 250)
  • Effectiveness: 83.75%
  • Total increased hunger drain: 43.28%
• Any dish with 37.5 hunger (37.5):
  • Dishes per 2 days: 9
  • Total hunger restored: 189.375 (of 337.5)
  • Effectiveness: 56.11%
  • Total increased hunger drain: 113.86%
• Ratatouille / Taffy (25):
  • Dishes per 2 days: 17
  • Total hunger restored: 186.25 (of 425)
  • Effectiveness: 43.82%
  • Total increased hunger drain: 173.83%

As we can see, dishes with low effects are really bad for Warly. A Meaty Stew diet on the other hand will grant Warly almost 0 hunger penalties. It's still ok & possible to survive via Meatballs only, but any dish which grants less hunger than Meatballs is already useless.

A Warly on Meaty Stew diet will have almost the same hunger drain as a Wigfrid on Meaty Stew diet (Meaty Stew restores max 120 hunger on Wigfrid).
A Warly on Meatball diet will have a lower hunger drain than a Wolfgang who's avoiding his wimpy form.

So his repeated dishes penalty actually does not affect his hunger that hard if you use it the proper way.

Isn't Warly supposed to explore the world with his Crock Pot, collect different foods and use them to make different dishes? According to my calculations, he isn't. Warly is only in need of eating 2x Meaty Stew every 3 days, and thanks to his Chef Pouche, he's able to keep the stews fresh for 10 days.

I can confirm: It's possible to survive for ~12 days without Crock Pot by using 8 Meaty Stews. If the amount of Meaty Stews isn't odd, eat once as soon as your hunger reaches 0. If it's odd, eat one as soon as hunger reaches 115.

Let's move to another issue:

Unlike others, Warly can't rely on his own Crock Pot food:

There are a few different ways to heal yourself in DST:

• Crock Pot: Recipes like Pierogi, Fishsticks and Dragonpie are sort of the best healing sources, especially during boss fights. They restore 40 health + some hunger & a little bit sanity pretty quickly which will keep you alive.
• Plants: Eggplants, Potatoes, Pomegranates or Dragon Fruits restore 20 health if cooked, making them a good & quickly healing source if you have access to a farm or to a Wormwood planting all these (who again: Can't profit from his own pros).
• Jerky: Does not heal as much as the best Crock Pot recipes and requires 1x meat per jerky drying for a total of 2 days. But besides that it's a nice way to heal yourself, and as a side effect it also restores a nice amount of hunger & sanity.
• Blue Caps & Butterfly Wings: These food items are mostly considered as the early game healing items: They grant pretty good healing stats without the use of a crock pot, especially for rushing a boss. But these do also have their penalties: Butterflies do only spawn during daytime not in winter & they become stale right after 3 days. Blue Caps on the other hand will make you insane and they need to be collected during night (unless you're a bad person who digs all the caps he can find).
• Spider Glands, Healing Salve, Honey Poultice, etc.: That kind of healing items does not spoil over time which makes it available 24/7. But it doesn't grant any other stats besides health and you need to kill alot of Spiders, collect many reeds, etc. to get a moderate stack of Healing Salve/Honey Poultice.
  I consider these healing items as emergency healing items.
• Sleeping: That's a nice & effective way to turn your hunger into health and sanity, but it takes way more time than other healing sources and you can't use it while you're fighting against mobs or a boss. You're forced to leave the fight (which in most cases resets the boss) to restore your health.
• Grim Galette: This one is a Warly exclusive way to heal yourself: Sacrifice your sanity and turn it into health. But on the other hand: It's harder to quickly restore sanity compared to health. To restore a total of 150 health as Warly, you need to get a total of 200 sanity, and sanity can mostly only be restored via Crock Pot, Jerky, Cooked Green Caps, Tent/Siesta, or dapperness, which is pretty much not available for Warly during a fight. Most kind of bosses do also have an insanity aura, making it almost impossible to keep your sanity safe.
• Special Abilities: Some kind of characters have their own ways to heal themself: Wigfrid is able to heal herself by attacking mobs. Wortox can heal everyone by releasing his collected souls. But Warly does not have such an ability yet.

There are many ways to heal, but Warly can't eat non-crock pot items, thus healing with Plants, Jerky, or Blue Caps & Butterfly Wings are not an option for Warly.
The Grim Galette is not a good alternative for healing, because most of the bosses have an insanity aura & it's really hard to restore alot of sanity in a short interval. It feels more like an emergency healing food. To Sleep during a Boss fight you need to abandon the fight. But upon retreating it also resets the whole fight, making it an useless healing source for fights like these.

And the Crock Pot (Warly's main ability) is also not an healing option for Warly too! During boss fights you'll have to heal yourself multiple times, more than only once every 2 days. And eating the same dish over and over again will reduce the effectivity of the dish. While a normal character needs 20x Pierogi to heal themself for 800 health, Warly needs 59x Pierogi to heal himself for 802 health. Using 2 different kind of dishes reduces the total number of required dishes from 59 to 51 and so on as we can see here:

• 1 kind of dish: 59
• 2 kind of dishes: 51 (2x 25.5)
• 4 kind of dishes: 36 (4x 9.0)
• 5 kind of dishes: 27 (5x 5.4)
• 10 kind of dishes: 22 (10x 2.2)

But as much as I know there aren't more than 10 dishes available which especially can be gathered easily & restore not less than 40 health. And filling your whole inventory for different dishes will remove all the space you have for weapons & armor. There's no way, Warly could use his Crock Pot easily to restore his health during a fight.

The only way for Warly to heal himself during a bigger fight is: Spider Glands, Healing Salve, Honey Poultice, etc. (Almost same as Wormwood)

He has access to nice features but unlike other characters (for example Wigfrid and her Helmet & Spear) he can't use his features to assist himself! Others do profit way better from his dishes than Warly himself, which sadly turns Warly into the role of a supporter!

And if you say Warly has access to his powders & Volt Goat Chaud-Froid: Everyone has access to them if you have a Warly in your team and everyone can benefit from these. And Wes consumes way less Pierogies in a fight than any Warly ingame, making Wes more effective than Warly.

Suggestions:

• The penalty of different Crock Pot foods should depend on how much hunger you restored with that kind of dish in the last few days: Warly should rely less on Meaty Stew and use other dishes restoring only 37.5 hunger way better than before.
• The multiple food penalty should not affect Warly's health, that feature just turns Warly into Wormwood 2.0 (Can't heal with food) & turn him into a supporter which can't rely on the advantages he has. Removing the penalty for health won't affect other players gameplay too much because they mostly struggle with hunger rather than health, and it's easier to restore health via Tent etc. which also restores sanity but is only usable outside of boss fights.
  • Another alternative which might be not that good would be to add more dishes requiring Batilisk Wings, etc. and restoring Health over time or leeching health from enemies. But adding a single dish which fixes all your health penalties will make Pierogies useless for everyone.

Perhaps an idea for an update:

Quote

H - the amount of hunger the food restores

Whenever you eat an item, the penalty P for that kind of food will be increased by H (or 2*H) and it drops half as fast as Warly's hunger drops.
Eating another dish of the same kind will restore only H / (H+P) of the hunger.

Eating 2x Meaty Stew at once will restore 150 + 75 = 225 hunger. Eating 2x Meaty Stew one by one (2nd one as soon as hunger reaches 0) will restore 150 + 100 = 250 hunger, but following Meaty Stews will have harder penalties. Eating 1x Meaty Stew, 1x *Any other dish restoring 150 hunger*, 1x Meaty Stew one by one won't grant any penalties at all.

Because that system won't act same for each kind of food, Warly should be able to inspect foods, telling himself if he still remembers the taste of that food.

Please adjust his penalties a bit and make him a character who's supposed to explore the world with his Crock Pot, collect different foods and use them to make different dishes.

I hope I could convince you a bit to change Warly's multiple dish penalty.

some time ago i was playing on a server called waterville and the owner was a woman (dunno if its ok to say her steam name here).

it was a modded endless server with own islands and there were raining coins from the sky all the time and evry killed mob dropped coins and you could buy items in gorge shops with these coins. there were also a real modded arena where you could fight bosses and large amount of mobs.

so my question is does someone remember these servers and what happened to them? i can imagine they cost money and lots time to be modded so i assume thats the reason?

are there any kind of these servers still active?

i remember seeing @KoreanWaffles playing there. maybe you know what happened to them?

Yes he can.

What a beautiful synergy!

With the Warly update out for everyone, me and some friends decided to start a new world and play together. A few of them picked Warly, and I picked Wormwood (I always do, I love the guy). and decided to farm 4 of the new crops...

For anyone unaware of how bird cages work with farm crops, here's a brief explanation: When you feed a bird a crop, it drops one seed of that crop with a 50% chance of dropping a second seed for it. There's also a chance to drop regular (random) seeds, but those aren't really useful for farming specific crops.
With this system, you would get about 50% more crops than you fed the bird if the 50% chance happened exactly 50% of the time. But it doesn't, so there's a bit of variance in how much you actually get.

To farm specific crops, I usually set aside a specific amount of that crop to feed the bird and the rest gets used up as food. Said amount is 30. By always feeding the bird exactly 30 crops every harvest, I get a relatively consistent amount of seeds, usually around 42-48. And since 30 of those will go back to the bird, I'm left with 12-18 crops as profit.

I personally find it kind of ridiculous that in order to keep farming a certain crop, I have to sacrifice TWO THIRDS of every harvest. Planting 45 seeds takes a long time and it isn't exactly very engaging when all you're doing is right clicking the ground in various spots. And I do this 4 times for 4 different crops (onions, garlic, potatoes and pepper) so the total amount of seeds I get is well above 160. Getting so little (15 of each crop) from farming so much is what I feel is the main problem with farming.

And all of this is only possible for me because I'm playing Wormwood. Other characters would have to build a farm for each and every single seed they want to plant. I don't think I'd get involved in farming at all if I had to build 45 farms to get a decent amount of crops as profit.

I think a nice solution would be to make birds always drop 2 seeds for the specific crop you want, so that the profit from farming is consistently higher (you'd always profit half of what you farmed, which sounds pretty good to me) and to leave the random seeds drop as the only random chance item involved.

If you've tried out farming with bird cages yourself, please let me know what you think of it in the replies!

Hi all. The old topic was archived in early 2017, but I thought it'd be a good idea to bring it back. There have been a ton of content since and quite a bit of skins. Personally I really enjoyed the Victorian collection but others were good as well. Well, if you got any cool outfit sets you wish to share - post it here!

I'll start

Colonel Woodie of The Royal Canadian Regiment

Shadow smith Winona

Severely beaten yet still dapper Wilson

My twitch drops, for this specific drop, has not been working, all my accounts steam, twitch and klei accounts are all properly linked. Every twitch drop has worked for me up until this point, i probably have over 2 hours on twitch and have not received anything. I tried switching from the beta to the base game but nothing is working.

Next on my list of curiosities is this: what is it you find a nuisance ingame?

When I play solo I usually mod game so I don't have to fight full strength giants.   This time I didn't and wow what a challenge.

Playing WX with five marble armor, unlimited football helmets and a Pan Flute.   Recruited two pigs (useless) and went straight to tanking.

Was fine until Dragonfly went in attack mode 2, had to run and use Pan Flute all 10 times.   Barely made it.    Used up 2.75 marble suits and a few football helmets.

Tried Klaus as well, that was a joke, couldn't even get close to a kill on that guy so time to bring in some help using Winona.

Awhile ago I posted an "Achievement" List for Don't Starve based on doing various mundane things in games to earn "points" just to see how many I could do and how many points I can rack up. The link to the original discussion is apparently missing, Idk if it was just so old it got deleted, or what happened but oh well. It was last worked on in 2016 anyway. Some Items on this list were suggested by players previously, I'm sorry I won't be able to properly credit your ideas. (New suggestions will be credited)

I was working with another user to make it into a "mod" but that idea quickly died as we moved onto other things and I lost interest in this game. I still enjoy it and come back occasionally though, and this is one of those times. I found my original list in a word document on my PC and decided to update this concept for the current version of the game, including DST.

This is going to be a long post, and will be edited as new ideas and concepts come to me. People are allowed to suggest ideas for Achievements and if they seem reasonable I will add them! 

General Information: I am doing this for something fun to do. The points are meaningless except for personal accomplishment, and nearly EVERYTHING in game can earn points, that's the whole point of this. Seeing how many things you can do in game. They are organized by Building, Fighting, etc, and even Character Specific categories. There is separate sections for the stand alone game, including it's expansions, as well as DST exclusive content. I am posting in the DST section because of that and also because based on my experience, most people are playing the DST version of the game nowadays anyway. If this should be moved to the base game form, I request to be notified so I can do so without loosing everything I have written.

                                                                                                                                                                               

Welcome to Magicphobic's unofficial achievement list for Don't Starve and Don't Starve Together!
**This list is still a work in progress and thus some suggestions/ideas may not be added and or finished yet, and some categories and characters may be missing! Please keep this in mind, and rest assured EVERYTHING will be added by the end goal.**
