she sells seashells has been out with a new boss: crabking. but what klei didnt think of before making the crabking how completly useless he is.

the problem i have is that 1. his drops are useless and 2. his mechanics are broken beyond everything

1. crabking kiled drops nothing then just meat,shells and a blueprint for strident trident. this trident has expensive recipes with little uses. yes i know not every item is usefull but what is there to discuss about it. just useless.

what about the inactive celestial tribute? useless! going to the lunar island and doing the 3 altar idols is more better then this manure.

2. i dont know if klei actually sniffed on nightmarefuel or its the wiki all over again but i have tried it out. i have tried something that is to impossibility known to man kind in this game.

yes this is impossible since you need 9 pearls pearl but if YOU want a REAL CHALLANGE this is it.

but forget about 9 pearls pearl. why should you fight him with 1 pearls pearl and 8 iridescent gem anyways? braggin rights? perhaps. for loot? heck no.

its like enraged klaus and misery toadstool. useless and can be avoided.

Klei entertainment. you had ENOUGH time. you can do the art, you can do the lore. but you cant do the gameplay.

im not mad but im very dissapointed of this boss. just try to question yourself why klei. just why.

Hi! I am interested in buying DST for PS4. I would like to know what version should I get. I am looking forward to playing the game split-screen mainly. I want to know if the mega pack changes something for the split-screen experience.What I mean is if the DLCs are also playable slit-screen or just solo?

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 :(.

can I get the Crystalline Honeydome twitch drop on ps4 knowing that the  ps4 didn't get the new update ? 

thanks

Hi there! I have a beloved world about 253 days in, and I recently glitched out while in the ocean and left my game. Now, I can't launch my server anymore! Can someone help me figure out the problem? :( 

So now that we have trident I had a idea of using it in crafts as a resource, especially for Wurt:

1. You see, Wurt's Merm king has also a trident in his hand, but what if it would not and it would be an option to ad it, this would bring Wurt that sweat damage multiplayer which other merms get when mermking is a live! The trident would be broke in 1 season, so it will requier time to get but benefit long.

 2. The Mermfisherhous. They spawn in shipwreck and have 2 tridents on the top of house, so it would be logical to have trident as an ingredient. Again a only Wurt structure that would cost boards cut stone and fish. A fishermerm would be non hostile to all players, get out of the house at dawn and fish in the nearby ponds, they would not get out during winter. They would need to be pleased on swamp turf and near a pond, range like a flingomatic. They wold try to catch fish but will fail most of the time 1/4 possibility of getting fish and will try to catch a total of 5 times per day, then they would give up. They would't eat the fish so having them would give the player free fish time to time, but you could have only 1 fisher house per pond. If a player acts them they will get start attacking yo just as other merms. you can befriend them and give them a fishing rod, witch they will use to get a bigger chance of getting fish 1/3 (still not to big to be overpowered). The oasis lake is an exception for the ponds, you can place up to 4 fisher merms next to it and the 1/4 chance of getting fish will have an additional 1/4 to get a trinket!

P.s. This is just an idea, Klei usually doesn't flow suggestions but they do take them in mind. The usually get their own ideas and I would just love to see trident as a resource for a structure! But feel free to comment what structure would be great to use trident!

Hey everyone! My love for designing is thriving and I've been feeling inspired lately and really wanted a place to share some of the things I've been working on. I love making shrines and designs in worlds whether it's big or small, and adding cute little details to them as well. Most of what I do isn't practical and is purely for decoration.

I was originally posting screenshots of my base on this thread: 

But I feel as though my style of basing has evolved into something that cannot be categorized as tidy and I wanted to start a different thread that was for bases/worlds more on the ornamental side like mine. Plus I feel far more comfortable and way less anxious being annoying and posting heaps on my own thread than I do spamming someone else's *nervous laugh* ^-^'

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Here's a few shrines I worked on last month:

Moon Stone Shrine

Don't think I'll ever be able to do the Moon Stone event ever again because I'll never be able to get a pig so perfectly back in that spot like that ahah, worth it.

Klaus Shrine/Arena

We found every Klaus spawner and plugged them with a firepit except this one, now he only ever spawns here and we fight him on the cobble stone bit to the right. This area doubles as a shrine and a fighting arena, I love it ^-^ 

Hi to my lovely Wes @Warlockadamm <3

Easter Bunny Shrine

....just noticed that the treeguard killed the bunny... and smashed the hay wall on the right as well ;( y u do dis

Mandrake Shrine 

This may or may not end up being a Year of the Carrat Shrine... We'll see.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

That's all I'm going to post for now but I'll probably be posting here quite often so yeh ^-^' 

I just fought the Dragonfly recently. Normally, she spawns lavaes at 80%, 50% and 20% hp, which is a total of 3. But recently,I fought her and she went for a lavaes a total of 5+ times! This resulted in me loosing the fight while I should have won. Is there any way to avoid this bug? 

So as i browsed the forums this week i noticed people could manage to fit everything and their mother inside a boat, while i can't even fit a fishing bin and a campfire in one if i wanna have a lightning rod on it. Is this some sort of space cleaner secret item found in the ruins? Ancient wisdom coming from the Elder pig from the Elder bog? just HOW do you guys do it?

 What do you think about this "tiny fish" or maybe Mermaid or maybe a Fishy Boss?

Today's the day ! We now have skins for lootable equipments and more, the latest update added one for the Tam o' Shanter and the Krampus Sack :

The dream comes true now that we have the amazing Clean Sweeper, craftable from the Magic tab !

This tool works like a staff : it cast a spell on stuff and changes their appearance with one of the skin you own, so skins are now applicable on everything craftable or not, we're probably gonna have more of these for various equipment loots like Snurtle Shell armor and whatsoever in the future.

But I'm sure this also means that BUILDING & STRUCTURE skins are coming up !

Do you guys think we're gonna have skins for the Pig King and the Florid Postern/Celestial Portal ? We definitively have this in our hands, I'm looking forward for this kind of addition to Belongings, we'll have the ability to give thematics to our world if major game elements become customisable.

Whenever my friend join and attempts to summon Abigail the server disconnects after it freezes everything. How can i fix this?

Hi everyone. I hope you're feeling comfortable and that you're not afraid of spoilers because "Them" are coming for us today !

I've used the fascinating "theory" tag but I have few doubts on what is happening in Return of Them and what to expect for the next updates, before we start I have to warn you if you don't want to be spoiled on the latest and upcoming updates on the story side. Now let's get into it. (I hope you have a drink)

She Sells Sea Shells (SSSS) is one of the last updates installing an atmosphere and context before a conclusion of what I'll call the Celestial Act.

So, Is there anything important in SSSS revealing the rest of this act ? Let's have a quick recap :

This update features the Crab King and the Hermit Crab, aka Pearl, the hole point of the update is to be a gentleman and help her to restore the island and do gifts, cute. In time, you will be rewarded with Pearl's Pearl after earning enough friendship lvl. Steer to the Crab King and place the pearl on him, this will have for result to drop an additional loot after you've defeated him which can be obtained only once (cause the pearl is unique and breaks afterward).

But which loot ? The Celestial Tribute :

The Celestial Tribute at the end of the new trailer (1:05)

What's the deal with the Celestial Tribute ?

You can tell that it looks important, it's in the game but it does nothing very interesting at now, it's just an all-in-one Celestial Altar.

Which is obviously temporal and the main intend of the structure will be added later :

Its current role will certainly not be removed but rather improved to unlock the advanced recipes of the Moon Tech tree.

Don't Starve always worked this way with many other Tech trees, for the science, magic and the ruins one :

= Tier 1 science = Tier 2 science = Tier 1 magic = Tier 2 magic . . .

In case you wonder, the Celestial Orb is not related to the Moon Tech tree :

No, the orb is considered as another one named "MOONORB" but I suggest you to keep an eye on it since its tech tier (MOONORB_LOW) can suggest an upgrade and it's evident when you spot the prefab name of the orb : "moonrockseed"

Whatever, it's not a surprise and the Celestial Tribute is clearly indicating it holds mysteries when you look at character inspecting quotes that I recommand you to look at : 

Some things are redundant in these quotes : such as whispers that are very common around the Lunar topic and... "something" is mentioned more than once like if the survivors wasn't sure of what they're doing and being controlled to serve the Moon.

Building "something" isn't what Wilson and the others want, it's what the source of this power is looking to achieves, otherwise it wouldn't be that much highlighted to us like if it needed to be completed. Think about it : the Moon Island want to rewards you with sanity for being here and do your stuff, it's the complete opposite of the rest of the Constant and especially the Ruins that want you to go away by making you insane.

Shadows are already thriving down here : the Ancient Civilisation were nothing less than minions exploited by dark strengths, lured from their greed for fantastic technologies granted with time, slowly but surely allowing the construction of the Ancient Gateway in the Atrium and release Shadows all over the Constant.

Look closely on this aspect of the game and you will see a pattern coming up... we're progressively freeing the Celestial side and you can tell this is not the best trade deal in the history : We've been recompensed for facing shadow creatures during our journey in the Constant with various resources like Moon Rocks and Moon Shards, we're now assembling the forgotten Celestial Tribute that was protected by the Crab King with the big conviction it will helps us.

I'm pretty sure you know the next step, right ? The Celestial power have mischievous effects on the living : we just have to look at Spiders, Pengulls, Wobsters or vegetations that exist on both of the continents, they're not doing very well on the Lunar Island... and this is the result of a small exposition rate.

Yes it can get worse, you know that your "sanity" regenerate way faster when you're getting close to the Celestial Fissures according to the Moon phases. This means that the greater source of the Celestial power is inside and slightly leaking, flipping its activity like the Nightmare Cycle and it can be extracted in order to use it.

Speaking of extraction, we have the Celestial Altar : Have you ever wondered why we can't prototype the Celestial crafts ? Not only because it wouldn't be fun, but especially because there's a missing ingredient in the game, the "Lunar Fuel"... Items like the Glass Cutter have no intrinsic powers from Moon Glass, it have to be filled with the fuel which can only be extracted in great quantity with the Celestial Altar, it's the same process with Thulecite, you must use the altar to fill it or it wouldn't work at all.

All the similarities from the Shadow and the Celestial sides seems to have no limit but they must play with equal but yet opposite elements/forces, it is not new but now more predictable nowadays, you can see the Constant as a boardgame like Chess since this one of the best pretext in Don't Starve.

So if we do another comparison with the Shadows, what was missing before SSSS on the Celestial Side ? The Crab King :

Why is the Crab King important in the story ? He's not actually very important, but he plays the same role as the Ancient Guardian, they're the protectors of the keys, cursed by the abundance of fuel like Maxwell mention for the AC. The Crab King used to be Pearl's husband, the Hermit Crab. We just don't know what exactly happened but we can speculate things went wrong with the poor lad when he received the call of the moon, and progressively turning into what rest of him today.

Now that you can compare, is there anything else missing on the Celestial side ? The Chess Pieces ?

No ! Or maybe... It's difficult to determine since the Clockworks aren't the Lunar Chess Pieces but still react to the Full Moon (strongest phase) when the Marble Sculptures are repaired :

Mining the sculptures during Full Moon result in Clockworks and New Moon in Shadow Pieces.

We could imagine it's only because Klei didn't wanted to release the Lunar Pieces before RoT but I see a more logic and interesting formula to be applied for the next update :

It involves once again the Celestial Tribute but not only because we should be addle to predict one of the new craft !

Certainly the most important one of Return of Them ! But first, why is there no Lunar Chess Pieces ?

We discovered something important earlier : Thulecite and Moon Glass have no power if it isn't filled with the proper fuel.

This also works for Shadow Creatures and Gestalts who need the fuel to persist :

• Shadow Creatures can exist everywhere except on the Moon Island, have a long time existence but will eventually disappear
• Gestalts have a short life existence since there is not enough fuel and cannot thrive out of the Moon Island

With all these informations, we can confirm that the Celestial side is too weak to take over the Constant and summon its Chess Pieces, so they have been replaced with a neutral side played with the Clockworks.

But we have an ace in the hole with this very unexpected candidate :

The Shadow Atrium is nothing more than a receptacle that have been filled with Nightmare Fuel, corrupted and now locked on the Shadow side, however it should be possible to reverse it with the Celestial Tribute and fill it with Lunar Fuel : creating the Celestial Atrium.

Now if this is the correct direction of the Celestial Act, we should be capable of interpreting the last fragment of Return of Them which is the finale on the balancing in the duel of the Shadows and the Celestial forces : An equivalent to the Ancient Fuelweaver and Ancient Gateway.

I've started to imagine a last Reanimated Skeleton unique transformation with the Celestial Atrium on the Lunar Island but even if the reanimation was an option, the Stalkers never existed in this place and I expect it more to be a "Forest Stalker like".

We have to wait for a following update and see what is exactly added, I believe the next one will reveal an unfinished part of the story just like SSSS did with the Celestial Tribute, potentially the location of the Celestial Gateway on a third part of the moon somewhere on the Constant... or maybe inside the first Lunar Island itself. If so, we'd have the freedom to speculate over it with precision and excitement.

Don't Starve Together will now accelerate the story development and I'm very proud of this game development over the ages, it took me the entire night to write this "theory" and think about it. So I hope it's a worthy investment for you and that you discovered a potential finale to RoT at my side and that you have maybe something on your mind to share and complete this somewhat puzzle.

Cheers to DST, friends !

In the current state that crab king is in, I frickin hate him.

I think most of this hate stems from the fact that most of his attacks as I played with him (the claws crunching the boat, the copious amounts of holes poked in the boat) were instances in which you couldn't really stop him from doing a pretty big amount of damage to you. And to go along with that, he regenerates his HP super rapidly, so if you're playing alone, you can't really stop him from just completely resetting All the progress that you've made thus far as you attempt to fend off X or Y attack that he sends to damage your boat. To beat crab king, you'll likely have to bring a couple stacks of boat patches and a crudload of twigs to keep your boat shipshape, and someone else to stop him from healing as you constantly burn through this supply.

I feel like I can live with the fact that you're simply going to have to drain that many resources to beat him, but It's really hard not to hate the fact that theres extremely little you can really do to stop him from healing without someone there with you. Kind of feels like it's harder than Fuelweaver at this point.

Not super sure what you could do to make this fight better, but one thing off the top of my head would be to make it so he only heals 1 or 2 rocks at a time instead of like, 10, so he doesn't regenerate All of his hp, should you miss a point to stop him. But again that's just off the top of my head and a more thought through solution would likely work better.

A thread like this existed before but I'm afraid it fell deep into the archive, so here is a new one. You can post funny, odd and terrible pictures that you made while playing DST.

Here are some from my collection:

Love this one because it looks like as if the third bunny from the right (not counting the bunny behind the hut) is throwing the small bunny.

My dear Wolfgang managed to trap himself while being sane and of course I mocked him by taking a screenshot and weeks later finding myself trapped in this too while being sane.

Wigfrid is able to fish in carpet. Who would have guessed.

Perhaps you are wondering what type of garbage I’m talking about, but I have a suspicion that after all the updates of "Return of Them" are over there will be at least 2 big events of the Forge or Gorge type.  Why do I think so?  I’ll explain now, but first, let’s remember how those events began.

If you remember the plot 6 characters get through the portal located in Atrium  which appeared during the thematic series of updates.  What do we have now?  The thematic series of updates, a portal that appeared in one of the updates and 6 characters that fall into this portal.  If everything is clear with a series of updates, then what about 6 characters and a portal.  Now we’ll talk about the characters, and leave the most interesting for later

If you remember, Forge did not include such characters as Wes, Maxwell, Woodie, Webber, as well as new characters, namely Winona, Wortox, Wormwood, Warly, Wurt and a new unknown character.  There are as many as 6 candidates to enter the normal world, namely Maxwell (he is a man after all), Wes (he is also a man), Winona (and she is a man), Woodie (this is also a man with oddities), Warly (he is also a man) and  Webber (he is half of man and he also wants to go at home).  Characters like Wortox, Wormwood, WX and Wart should not go into the world since they were born there, except for WX, he is a robot, so he doesn’t care (probably).  Undoubtedly, we have one more unknown character and no one knows who he is.  So with the characters that should get home there may be some changes, for example, Maxwell and Webber may stay because they will not be loved there, and instead a new Persian and WX may come in.  The only thing that most likely will not change is their scratch, namely 6.

Well, now the tastiest thing.  This is the portal.  You may be surprised, but he is in front of you, well, or his unfinished version.  Why did I decide that this is it?  And so we have a new boss from which a new part of this building can fall out and most likely there are several such parts.  It will be like in the same caves in which in order to activate the portal you need to go through something like a quest , but only on the surface and the portal you need to assemble completely.  Perhaps the portal will have to be rebuilt in the correct order, or something like that.  So why did I decide that this is a portal?  I quote Varley, who responds to the altar: "Do you know how to take me home to Mama?"  This means that either the altar can tell about the atrium, or it is part of the portal, well, or it just lies because it is Winona, it mumbles something about inventions.  Winnona: "Inventions? What inventions?"

 In conclusion, I will say that everything really coincides in a suspicious way.  Thematic updates in which there is a certain portal in which our 6 characters are supposed to fall.  And after that we will have 2 whole new events.  But do not forget that this is just a theory and everything can change.

Thanks a lot to this person and this post so how they helped me close the missing detail in my theory. I hope that this person does not mind that I used his information.

Sorry for my English

I created a simple method for you to defeat the crab king solo with any character.

I created many farms and methods, some of them are big in the community, like the tentacle method with grass walls and toadstool arena.
And i have more to share soon in my channel.

I know i use 80% of star caller's staff, but you can optimize more than me.

Thank god it's Sunday

I watched a 6 hours stream today and my twitch account notification shows that i have 3 drops. So I entered the game to claim my new items. But nothing pops up. Is this a bug? how can i fix it? im sure that i licked the right twitch account.....

I watched for the crystalline honeydome.When i go to the notifications on twitch it says that i got the drops.But they are not showing in the game.When i click on them in twitch notifications and try to click on the check mark under the drops it doesnt let.
