...this is a bit different, but here’s some things I want to ask everyone on the dst forum. Anybody got some Don’t Starve pick-up lines? I’d love to see them! Not planning to use them at the moment, but I’d adore to see what you guys can come up with! 

Oh, and anybody got any ships? If you’d like, you can share them! If you created a story for this ship or why you ship it, I’d like to hear it. Personally I don’t ship any of the characters, I don’t see the need to, and I honestly don’t think any would fit as a couple-

Just a silly little post since I’m bored-

A big thanks to everyone for your feedback on the Wendy Character Refresh. I'm glad to be working on a game where our fans passionately dissect everything we do and give their feedback.

We have decided to move away from Wendy's health value modifying Abigail's damage. We had intended for it to represent Abigail becoming enraged as her sister was approaching death, however it resulted in the sisters not working together as a team.

As of this hotfix, Abigail's damage is back to being based on the day/dusk/night phases and she has received a boost to her day and dusk damage. Abigail's attack now besets her opponents with ghostly petals for a short period of time. Opponent's beset by Abigail's ghostly petals will receive extra damage by all other attackers (eg other players, Pigmen, etc.) Wendy, being Abigail's twin sister, is able to take advantage of this and will deal substantially more damage. We have also renamed the Choleric Tonic to Nightshade Nostrum and changed it to allow Abigail to deal damage during the daytime and dusk as though it was nighttime.

I'll also take this opportunity to clear up the mechanics behind Abigail's shield. When Abigail takes damage, she will put up a shield to block all incoming attacks for a short period of time, similar to how the Thulecite Crown works. Applying the Unyielding Draught will double the duration of the shield, while Distilled Vengeance will double the duration and deal damage to anything that hits the shield. 
We hope everyone enjoys these changes. A full list of details can be found below.

Changes:

• Changed Abigail's damage back to be based on time of day instead of Wendy’s health.
• Increased Abigail’s damage during daytime and dusk.
• Abigail's attack besets her opponents with ghostly petals for a short period of time, increasing its damage received from all other damage sources. Wendy is able to take advantage of this and will deal substantially more damage.
• Spectral Cure-All now lasts for 30 seconds and the other Ectoherbology elixirs now have a duration of 1 day.
• Replaced the Choleric Tonic with Nightshade Nostrum.
• Nightshade Nostrum allows Abigail to call upon the power of darkness, causing her to deal nighttime damage during the daytime and dusk.
• Abigail’s shields received a minor increase in duration. 
• Retuned the number of Mourning Glory required to craft the Ectoherbology elixirs.
• Reduced how far away the Pipspook’s lost trinkets will spawn.
• Changed Abigail’s riled-up targeting to encompass more creatures.

Bug Fixes:

• Fixed the scaling of Distilled Vengeance’s damage fx 
• Fixed various Wilson skins hair orientation in the back view.
• Fixed missing fur tufts on Wortox.
• Fixed an issue with Wendy’s Nostalgic skin’s hair when doing the kiss emote.

Perhaps this has been requested by other users previously, but we figured there's no harm in making it a public suggestion. 

3 summers ago, my friend and I explored the Lunar Biome with the intention of getting some Moon Moths to have Mothlings for critters. It was meant to be a grab n go journey/expedition, but when we arrived at the island, we fell in love with the place so much so we stayed there for the entire summer just exploring the place and watching the inhabitants on the island interact. 

One creature that particularly caught our eyes and gave us many d'aww moments were the Saladmanders that inhabited the island. While they weren't exactly appealing to us at first sight, they grew on us over time that we made frequent trips to Lunar Island just to see them once in awhile. We like how these somewhat feisty creatures look when they sleep and how cute they are when they run , and those very adorable moments when you have a thermal stone on you and it follows you for a bit until the stone wears out its power. 

We can't say this enough, we think these reptiles are extremely cute and they would make such good bois in the form of babies. Though they are pretty smol already, we do hope we can see a critter form of these guys. Our take on the saladmanders?

They could have the ability to scare off creatures their size if they ever attack you, a nod to their rather feisty natures when enraged, though one at a time and it won't deter naturally hostile mobs from following you. We think it might be a tad bit OP if your critters could scare off small mobs like Spiders, Catcoons, Frogs, though we hope the one-at-a-time mechanics is a good balance. Not sure about Bees, but if they do, they'd probably be only to scare one at a time until they're dead too. 

It's totally fine if they don't have any special abilities like the Mothlings, we just want to interact with these good bois without having to kill them.

We just want the devs they've made our day with the creation of Saladmanders in the game. Thank you for reading!

First off- I said I wasn’t going to make anymore threads throughout 2020, I know that but.. I am and I have, And with my whole town being pretty much on lockdown due to Virus concerns I’ve had plenty of time to sit and theorize about this. 

First off you can find the original Discussion about this where I brought it up here: in Minespatchs thread asking Klei to create a comic explaining the origins of Woodies new found Transformation Idols.

Now that JoeW said that I could create a new thread to discuss other potential Woodie lore & Theories I would like to do just exactly that, Only this time Instead of just a big wall of Text I would like to provide gifs from various sources as well as in-game images to support my Theory.

In Minespatchs Thread I stated that we didn’t actually NEED a comic detailing the origins of Woodies Idols because the Origins can be as simple as items LUCY his Red Talking Axe whispered into his ear to Create & also use.

This would certainly not be the FIRST Time a Don't Starve character listened to Advice from outside of their own thoughts and opinions, Observed here in GIF 1- Wilson is having second thoughts about pulling this lever but does so anyway.  

In the second photo, This is Woodie Examining his Werebeaver Idol In-Game.

Some Forum goers have brought up the suggestion that Lucy doesn’t actually talk and that it’s all in Woodies head, there is a Quote in the game that supports this Theory that provides homage to the horror movie classic the Shining.. The Quote in the Game is written as “All work and No play makes me want to chop trees” the Actual Movie scene Quote is “All work and no play makes jack a dull boy” This is a moment in the film where the main character starts to spiral into insanity and types that exact quote for hundreds of pages into his type writer. As seen in the second GiF provided below.

Is this Klei’s way of hinting that Woodie is crazy and it’s all in his head like the shinings Jack? 

I’m about to debunk that suggestion Completely by providing some pretty hard to dismiss facts.

First off Lucy doesn’t just TALK to Woodie she talks to Non-Woodie characters, and straight up refuses to let them pick her up.. which would Imply that Lucy has her own identity and is not just something made up in Woodies own head.. Maxwell even has a Quote that implies he’s known Lucy for quite sometime.

However... it is clear that Lucy DOES manifest some sort of Super Natural powers or control over Woodie because as seen in his Animated short even with 3 powerful transformations at his disposal Woodie gets pummeled into the ground within in an inch of his life and left defeated with obviously some broken bones.. Once he reaches out and grabs hold of Lucy he quickly recovers from all Injuries like he’s Superman and disposed of his Foe.

Lastly It is extremely obvious that Lucy is its own Soul or entity rather.. and LUCY is Woodies REAL Curse, not his Transformation Idols... Because No Matter How Many Normal Axes Woodie Creates as soon he attempts to chop wood with it Lucy swaps places with the regular axe.

(also do keep in mind that in Solo DS, Chopping too much wood using Lucy was what triggers his curse to begin with)

As seen in the following Gif of me crafting lots of regular axes, attempting to use them and then dropping them as soon as they turn into Lucy for a new one.

And finally in the last Gif does Lucy swapping places with that regular Axe remind you guys of anything at all? Wortox SOUL Hopping maybe??

So in Conclusion: If LUCY has her own SOUL and is its own entity & is NOT something made up and completely in Woodies own head.. then is it really unreasonable to believe that LUCY told Woodie how to create the Transformation Idols & use them? Woodie wouldn’t second guess his beloved Axe Lucy!

I just wish Wortox’s Quote For examining Lucy was a little more helpful in supporting this Theory.

It could be something like:

“Lucy is an Axe with a Soul & Chopping stuff is her goal!”

Please feel free to share your own thoughts about this! Thanks.

Sorry if i posted in the wrong place but do i still get twitch drops from watching a dst livestream but not live, like watching it the day after?

Who are you favorite DST youtubers, average ones and bad ones? High is youtubers I like, mid are the ones I am neutral about and low are the ones that are kind of bad. For me it would be something like this:

High: Don Giani Guides (original videos and a lot of skill), Helicalpuma (is calm and is a good player) and James Bucket (is funny).

Mid: Slasher (is quite funny but chaotic at the same time, so I do not know), Jazzy (he is a good player and he is nice, but his videos are not edited) and Joeshmocoolstuff (is a nice guy with a lot of skill, but videos are not really edited. He is gone tho, so I do not know if his videos would be top tier now).

Low: Beard (he steals content) and Edgy Rick (he was toxic to his fans, thank god he left DST).

Hi!!  I don't know if this is the right place to ask, so forgive me if it's not.  But, I got a new laptop a day or two ago after 3 years, and was wondering if there was any possible way to transfer my servers from my old laptop to my new one?  I have a 600+ day mega base on my old one, and would really love to continue working on it!  I've been on-and-off of it since Summer 2018, aha.

Thank you to anyone who helps, and sorry again if this isn't where I should post this !! <3

Today DST is four years old, happy birthday

First of all, thank you DST for accompanying me for four years,As a player who loves DST, I am happy,can watch DST grow and grow,In the past few years it has brought me a lot of happiness and good memories.

I am about to graduate from university now,Recall the days of playing DST with roommates,I am very happy.

And some of the friends I met in DST, they taught me a lot, a few of us have even become friends in reality, this is incredible, we will be invited to go out to play when the school is on holiday, sometimes I go to them The city finds them sometimes they come to me

DST brings me too much happiness,I hope I can continue to watch DST getting better and better in the future, and I hope that people who like it can have good memories about it.

I will share some interesting things in dst in a year or record some good memories in this post every year today.The next time I post a personal share on this post is April 22, 2021

If anyone likes this post, you can share your story with dst here (if you want),One year later, two years later, three years later, if you open it again, you may feel differently.

Finally, thank all the staff of klei,Thank you for bringing a dream full of adventure and unknown to the boy,Now that I ’m growing up, DST is also growing up, I hope we all get better and better.

I simply want the snakeskin rug to be ported over from shipwrecked to DST. It's simply beautiful and in my opinion it's better, compared to the purple carpets that we can craft from beefalo wool. Plus, the snakes could be a new enemy

according to this Blog post Klei is removing their games from Geforce NOW...

i've always used geforce now when i wasn't home and didn't have a pc with me (obviously in social isolation that's not really an issue).

and so now my only reaction is... WTH KLEI?!

I searched the forums and didn't already find this topic, so creating a new topic. Let me know if this has already been answered and I can remove this topic.

Edit:
Klei did not remove their games from Geforce Now. See first post.

Why the Removal?
Why is Klei removing their games from Geforce Now? I've been really bothered by developers doing this, and I didn't think that Klei would fall into that bucket. As a consumer, I'm paying for a license to use on my Steam account. Why is it any of the developer/publishers business where I run my license? If I want to run the game on a toaster that doesn't have a display, that's my prerogative as long as I'm not using my license in more than one place at a time. If the reason is they don't want people to give people the ability to run it not on their computer, then they should go ahead and ban gaming cafes from being able to use their games too. Gaming cafes are public computers that people login too as well. Geforce Now cloud gaming is no different.

Devils Advocate
Trying to play devil's advocate rationalize why Klei might be doing this but really I'd like to know from the Klei itself. Maybe it's because...:

• They intend to bring it back onto the platform with official support? This seems unlikely.
• They have existing licensing agreements that conflict with Geforce Now?
• They feel the game experiences would be so poor they don't want users to get a bad impression of the company...?
• They're worried about support requests from users on Geforce Now?

Does anyone know why Klei games are actually getting pulled? I'm hoping it's for something legitimate like licensing and not for the typical developer excuses I've seen online about having arbitrary control regardless of what the users want :(.

i want to make a mod that gives 2 buffs to wurt. but ii don't know how.

i want to

1: let her and other merms swim, (when swimming you'll just gain wetness, and wit will show wurt's head above the water) would be configurable in 2 ways, adding a hunger drain when swimming, and disabling it, dissbling having other merms swim.

2: more to do with pets.

(can be changed or disabled) sanity gain from narwhals and sanity drain from skittersquids.

Gnya i can't launch a server after i crashed at all.

Just a theory but how can there be doppelgängers of characters. (outside of gameplay logistics) 

Theory: The teleportato keeps the characters who have been swapped in a sort of lingo and they were released when the events of DST play out (portal), hence duplicant characters exist. 

Flaws: No evidence canonically through trailers since there hasn't been any character doppleganger action. 

Theory explained: The things from ds definitively have something to do with quantum mechanics, electricity, and multiverse 

Wickerbottoms examination of the original ring thing states : "a torus of alloys and wirings"- and a torus is not only a doughnut shape but also known in older literature as an Anchor ring. -So perhaps it is the anchor of the world, and maybe it only partway works causing survivors dimensions to split 

In shipwrecked and hamlet we see the things change into different forms, and while it can be said that perhaps they respond to their environment in different ways (since its said that the Relic thing from hamlet exists in more than three realms, Wagstaff quote) I think that the things change slightly in some function in each world. This into account perhaps when a character changes their character via teleportato they are transported into a sort of lingo where they are held while a new version of themself or another character comes into the world. If you can some how figure out what I'm trying to convey I'd love to hear opinions or counter arguments to this theory so cheers. 

So, we are all probably isolated because of "The end of the world" aka Corona virus. And we all are probably are berried in homework from teachers (this one if you are a student). But also we all have some free time and we all have already done every thing possible to stain sane. Isolation is not good for people, that's why I decided to create this free participate project:

A lot of you love to create, build, in this game. I am sure that you have wonderful perspectives, so this is the challenge: Each weak I will write here a project that you can build, ether on your world without console, or with the "to many items", then after building it post it here as a photo with the areal view mod. Under the photo say if you did it with or without console.

The project is supposed to be fun, so any one wont compare your build with the buildings of others.

If you have any suggestions for a new project for the next weak then writ it down below! 

So if you want to participate, then here is your first weak project: Build a pig city / pig hamlet , also give it a name! The dead line will be next Thursday! 

Hello. I'm having sudden FPS drops when doing basic tasks, like eating, cooking or putting things in a crockpot. This usually cuts my FPS by like a half, and annoys me. This happens when I'm a host, playing solo, doesn't occur when playing on a server where someone else is the host. I play with mods, here's a list of them:
Client mods: 50 Saveslots, Autumn Music Restoration, Combined Status, DST Where's my Beefalo, Dusk and Night music, Geometric Placement, Gesture Wheel, Minimap HUD, SmartCrockPot.
Server mods: API Gem Core, Epic Healthbar, Food Values - Item Tooltips, Global Pause, Global Positions, Health Info, Wormhole Markers.
As you can see, nothing too crazy.
It's worth noting that the drops happen somewhere around the time where I start setting my base up, so days 15-20. 
They also sometimes happen on the main menu, I click on one thing and the frames plummet for a few seconds.
I also Alt+Tab out of and into the game often, I have a suspicion that this might be the reason why they happen, not sure though.
Here are my specs:

Personally, I only watch Don Giani Guides, which is, in my opinion, the best DST youtuber. And you, who do you watch the most?

  The regular fishing rod don't stand much uses, it's just a fishing rod with durability that can only be used on pounds, and we can't use sea fishing rods on pounds, which makes them still necessary, not just for catching freshwater fishes and eels, but also the oasis hot spring stuff for antlion.
  But there's also the fact that the regular fishing rod may make it a challenge, as it has durability, making it more challenging for freshwater fishes, eels and hot spring stuff.
  Should the regular fishing rod be completely removed and sea fishing rod would be renamed to fishing rod, and would be used in pounds aswell?
