can someone help me understand how the dst server work ..
1. if i host a server, and other players join in and play .  when i shut down and restart my pc, can we continue playing where we left ?
 2. how to backup and restore the dst server state? in case i need to continue hosting using different pc?

thankyou

Straw Hat became craftable from the start when RoG was added to DST.

In my opinion, the same should be applied to Earmuffs.

Reasons:

- It's a bad item you never go for if you already have a Science Machine. Why lock it in the same tier as Winter/Beefalo Hat?

- I play early game 90% of the time in DST. I have joined servers in Winter countless times.

9/10 times you will not have any gold left to craft a Science Machine, because people on the server have already hoarded everything.

In that case you have to either:

1. Search for Pig King.

OR

2.  Craft a piece of grass armor and rush searching for MacTusk (and pray that others did not already kill him before you got there).

Also, pray for good RNG, because MacTusk doesn't always drop his hat.

- Earmuffs give you a couple additional seconds before freezing to death again. This means less trees burnt (the only way to survive Winter with no cold-resistant items), and if someone joins after you they will have a higher chance of survival (because you did not burn every tree on his way).

What are your thoughts on this?

Should this be a thing?

Maybe there is some broken cheese mechanic I do not know about that lets you skip the entire game and beat all bosses by Earmuffs becoming craftable with no Science Machine.

Building a high tech boat can sometimes be difficult. And because of this, some people can be quite proud of the boats they have made!
So I decided to make this thread so people can post screenshots of their own boats for the world to see!

It can really be any boat! One's you live on, one's only for moving large amounts of items, or ones you used just to make it to lunar island!


I'll start with my boat here!

Comes equipped with everything you need to survive. A crock pot, fire... and a lightning rod!
With a few chests for storage of tools and food as well.

The admins are away and I'm not sure how to edit the site. Please help the admins of the wiki.

Thanks to @Electroely for doing their part.

Hello everyone, I cannot guarantee these methods would fix the issues for you but I'm making this thread in hopes of collating all the possibilities of why players cannot claim their Twitch Drops. So first and fore most, let's double check that we have all the necessary checkboxes cleared that SHOULD allow us to receive our drops.

NECESSARY INFORMATION

Klei Support Article: How to link your Twitch Account to your Klei Account

DEV(s) recent input on the matter:

• "... Updating Klei Account page..."
• "... Changed the way Twitch Linking works..."
• UPDATE: "...Twitch sends "ticks" for the account..."
• UPDATE: "....deployed an update to our servers..."
• UPDATE: "...viewers who earned Twitch drops and accumulated viewing time over the weekend..."
• UPDATE: "...missing items and twitch items, have been retroactively applied to your accounts now. "

If you have already properly connected your Twitch Account to your Klei Account before, here's how to make sure you've linked them correctly.

Below is the image of what your https://accounts.klei.com/account/info should show, if properly connected:

Clicking the Twitch Account Number should directly bring you to your Twitch Account's setting. Then below is the image of your Connections and under OTHER CONNECTIONS should reflect Klei Entertainment:

Also if you've accumulated enough watch times Twitch Notifications should reflect new drops, example below:

Drops are received the same way we all received our Daily Drops, upon first login of the day as soon as we enter the Main Menu of DST (after pressing Play and properly logged in).

TROUBLESHOOTING

If you've made sure of these things and you still haven't received your Twitch Drops, then follow the links below:

• Earned Twitch Drops are not showing up in Don't Starve Together

• Don't Starve Together items are missing from my Steam Inventory

Make sure to double check for every method mentioned in these Klei Support Articles. If you still aren't able to receive your drops by opening DST then go to Documents\Klei\DoNotStarveTogether and attach the client_log.txt file from there to your reply to this thread. 

DO NOT COPY PASTE its contents to a reply. Simply DRAG-DROP the whole file from that folder into the edit box when you make a reply to this thread.

Hopefully we can figure out what's going wrong together for any outliers on this issue.

@LeeEverett @annakinsolo @Merakses_CK @BeeboxD @akli72 @vladys611 @fractalmytholog @itspoakie @darees @Radpon @vexx32 @rFreon @GootsGaming @LastOfSaviors @PacManiacDK @AiurRefugee @sharckgx @Weeber07 @Tzucaak @akzakz @dragonmaky @Kavthekid @YeetusDelitus @dho8 @sovon9 @Pkpoon @Pumpkin Soda @Seb89 @Filip Svoboda @GoldenOkami94 @TheAleksDemon

Hopefully everyone who needs this information finds it. I've @mentioned as many people as I could find that are having issues with Twitch Drops.

I hope it helps, cheers.

UPDATE (April 27, 2020):

New update for the Klei servers has been deployed and any discrepancies has been retroactively applied to affected accounts cause by unintended side effects by a previous Klei server update. Refer to the dev replies in this thread for more info. Unless outliers come up, everything should be back in order for everyone.

Thank you devs for the updates on the matter and just as importantly thank everyone for your cooperation and patience on the matter.

Cheers.

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 !

How to show computer stat (CPU, RAM, GPU) from MSI Afterburner when play Don't Starve Together. This game support this app?

Aside from hammering fish bones, how can I get more bone shards?

Does anybody else have the issue of having too much hound's teeth? I feel like for the amount of hounds you are forced into facing, there's really not a lot you can do with them. Of course there's tooth traps, but there's only so many you need for a panic corner - and for those that might just fight hounds head-on or use a middle man to take them out (like Beefalo or a Bearger) they're stuck with a whole lot of teeth.

As for what to do with all these teeth, I think it's as simple as have new recipes using teeth. (Obviously implementing new items into the game isn't that simple, I know.) A new weapon using teeth, kind of like a shark tooth club or maybe a flail.Or another idea would be to use teeth as a crafting material, maybe able to be refined into a calcium powder to heal you, or maybe something that has uses to be explored within the unraveling of Return of Them.

Do you guys have any other ideas for using hound's teeth? Is this a problem you guys find yourselves dealing with, too? Or is it just me?

Am i able to link the same twitch to both of them, or will i need a separate one for steam?

Would it be a good time to have the CrossPlay system or even Cross-Progression?  Recently I'm seeing several games implementing this system, and I think Don't Starve Together would fit perfectly into that. The game works on basically any computer and plataforms and it is very practical to create servers. It's a great way to bring the community even together. We would have some limitations and restrictions due to platforms. For example:  worlds could not have mods and some platforms would not allow Cross-Progression. But either way it would be a big breakthrough for the game. 

This is a step by step tutorial. I cover the essentials and go over what should be done as I play, hope you learn and enjoy!

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

In DST, most bosses are meant to be fought by multiple people at the same time. If you want to defeat them solo, you pretty much have to play Wolfgang to avoid a 3000 years preparation, unless you are literally a god of DST, which takes a lot of time to achieve. Wolfgang makes ridiculous bosses (like the Bee Queen that is almost impossible to dodge due to the honey) and toadstool, which is a giant health pool machine, doable (without any teammates). If you nerf Wolfgang, this will force players to use cheesy techniques if they do not want to spend 2000 years worth of practice just to kill one little boss. Like for real, trying to solo a boss like the Bee Queen as an average-advanced player would be a true hell without the x2 damage from Wolfgang. Just leave him as he is, please.

For those who are asking me from where I took the information he is getting nerfed: 

I hope the Wolfgang rework is not a nerf, just a rework.

I know someone probably posted this topic at some point, but as it has died, I'm genuinely curious as to what everyone's favorite quote is based on either the lore behind the quote or if its funny or a terrible Wilson pun (his quotes for new content have become better recently.) To start off, my favorite quote is 
Pocket Scale- "HELLO MY POCKET-SIZED BRETHREN" from WX-78, and I find this quote hilarious because I can only think about WX having a tiny army of pocket-sized robots.

I made this topic to get an idea of how other people think about a brand new QOL update being made. This would be perfect time because as Jason himself said:

On 4/23/2020 at 12:49 PM, Jason said:

On to the next thing! Now is a good time to mention that we are currently in the middle of evaluating our schedule. We're definitely beginning to see issues creep in from our current situation working from home. We're looking to shift things around a bit so we can still have something for you every month but the next update will likely be smaller as we work on the larger stuff like the next new character and the next Return of Them update. When we have more information on that, we'll let you know. 

And so with that, it is no surprise that they won’t be the most coordinated, but this new update would take less time then a update with new content and would allow them to give us long awaited changes while also buying them time to make the next actual content update. Anyhow, here are some ideas to what a QOL update might look like:

• Re balancing some crafting recipes like the Night Armor, Marble Suit, and Insulated Pack

• Adding a way for some to use the lazy deserter without some one to assist

• Adding the option to turn off right click indicators for items like the lazy explorer or Wortox

• Adding a way to counter disease

• Make Sculptures Sketches being added to the player’s crafting menu when near a sculpting table instead of having them linked to the table itself,

• Having a failsafe if the world gen glitches out without marble sculptures

• Tweaking when certain things can be crafted (like the winter/beefalo hat)

• Giving special buffs to foods that require rare or out the way materials to make like Butter and Eels and Honeycombs (not honey, the honeycombs)

• Making some items more or less rare then they are now

Those are basic ideas but feel free to share some of yours as long as they aren’t something ludicrously difficult to implement like personalized restrictions on what characters can and can’t do beyond basic admin privileges. The prime idea is to take something in the game, but add more utility or rebalance it instead of making a new complex system. Thank you to anyone who answers and have a good day.

P.S. I copied this over from word and that is why the format is funky

I had a 2k days mega base, but my computer crased and i lost all my files. I only managed to save my cluster folder. Is it possible to get mt map back only with that?

So, I've been playing DST with my buddy, I am Wurt and he is Webber, and we dominate the swamp together. But during Winter, I can't see the tentacles because they blend in with the snow. I can kind of see the bubbling, but it is really hard to see.

Have you ever been blessed by the drop system? Have you ever started the game with the Daily Gift being an Elegant tier gift and wanted to show it off somewhere? Feel free to post it here.

I'll start first.

Can I use the skins I bought on ps4 on pc?
