I love Wormwood's new "Triumphant" skin, but it's a really bad "Triumphant" skin.

Just like Wurt, his skin has nothing to do with nightmare fuel or shadows outside of it being a "dark/creepy skin".

Every other triumphant skin follows an obvious motif, deep black, with lots of spiked points or curls, with white lines running through, typical shadow related stuff. WX being a slight exception, but his general design follows still follows the pattern well considering his VERY different design from the rest of the regular cast.

 

But Wormwood and Wurts skins don't follow this motif at all, they don't look like they are influenced by the fuel at all.

You can look at every other skin in the bunch and immediately recognize that they are a matching set, but I seriously doubt anyone could do the same for Wurt and Wormwood if they weren't aware of what "The Triumphant" skins were.

 

I hereby petition that the name should be changed to preserve lore and consistency.

Hello, new thread.

So can someone who is knowleadgeable in this tell me how far can dst go with its current age rating?

How bad can the survivors swear? Is gore and blood (to some degree) allowed?

As references I'll use:

-Willow says 'Holy crap'

-Tentacles are sliced in half when killed 

-Wilson cut his hand cuz blood was required (may be irrelevant since it's from the old trailer)

Use for Clout Snouts?

So I’m the rare occasion that I get a pig belt, I usually set up the arena around pig king in a way that favors me to farm a ton of gold.

My question is, what’s the best use of clout snouts? They only last for 10 seconds, and I’m struggling to find a use for them.

I'm not gonna lie, when the caves update came out in the original Don't Starve I thought it was the coolest thing. Sure the walls were sometimes obtrusive but man did they ever make you feel like you were underground. Without the walls, the underground caves kinda just feel like they're a dark version of the surface but with less resources, and without any element of surprise that the walls gave by looking around them.

Just my own opinion, but I'm interested to see what you guys think. Did you love them, or did you hate them? Would you want to see something like this again in the future, or is DST better off without them?

Lost track of time spent at sea, but its safe to say I spent at least a year in total at sea acquiring sunken "treasure". 

 

 

No clue why Klei named it sunken "treasure" when it is everything but that, Klei decided to bring Klaus's trash tier loot to the ocean. The process of searching the ocean for messages in a bottle to lead to sunken "treasures" in itself is rewarding, otherwise I would not have spent the time I did searching for them. But the feeling I got when opening the chest is equal to that of a kid asking for a gaming console for X-mas and waking up to find Google's Stadia, I would've much rather not opened them. The loot as you can see is equivalent to your average noobs inventory, barely anything of worth. I regret unboxing them. I don't understand who the rewards of the sunken "treasure" is aimed for, the time it takes to get them could've been much wiser spent focusing on one aspect of the reward, say fishing gear/ruins gear or boat gear. This paired with the fact that most experienced DST players I've played with spend as little time out at sea sailing as possible and opt for covering the map with boat bridges, meaning many people never really experience the sailing aspect of ROT which is a big loss. Therefore, in my opinion there should be more incentive for players, experienced or not to explore the ocean, e.g. better sunken "treasure" rewards, but of course, ROT is still young in it's life cycle, guess we'll have to wait and see.

 

 

TL;DR- wtf are you thinking Klei, the loot for sunken "treasures" is dogshit for how much time it takes to acquire them, they are better kept as base decor. 

Hopefully Klei will rethink the rewards and perhaps include more ROT based loot, if not, just pretend I'm screaming at the ocean... anyways, I'll get going, the ocean needs cleaning and not just The Constant's.

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 :(.

Thanks to concerns raised by FreyaMaluk regarding how general the previous poll was I shall be redoing it! With more categories this time.

As always, feel free to answer the poll and discuss in the comments!

(Side note: I shall still not consider character-based changes of any sort as they'd quickly stray into rework update sort of stuff and I personally believe it's counterintuitive to announce character reworks for all characters and then apply changes to them outside of their promised reworks (debatably unless said changes were really urgently needed to iron out gameplay in said character))

(Disclaimer: While the poll is simply representative of the forum community's interests towards which areas of concern they would wish prioritized to be remade, it does not represent the entire community's opinion; nor does it guarantee any of the said areas of concern to be fixed in the update.)

I built like 9 merm flortifications in my base to surround the merm king yet I only see about 4 in general walking around most of the time. I read in a update post from Klei that the flags on the buildings indicate whether or not they will spawn a loyal merm guard.

What are the conditions for having these flags appear?

Can someone tell me why I don't have 9 or so walking around my base? I don't believe they were dead because it was spring and I waited a day or two and still only about 4 were walking around.

Nerfing any character is completely uneeded this isn't a competitive game, no character is so powerful that they cause you to be at a severe disadvantage if you play a less powerful character

Nerfing Wolfgang, Wickerbottom, or WX78 will simply make the game less fun for a lot of players, if any changes for these characters occurred they should make the characters have more enjoyable abilities rather than straight up redmoving what makes them fun

Klei's focus when making refreshes is mainly the make the game more fun with interesting new abilities and to make weaker character be able to do better in fun ways

This is why I don't think Klei will nerf any character

Main topic and a minor topic to boot.

 

One of the elements of base design especially in public games which are short-lived is lighting.   Almost always it's coming from an unforgivable wilderness to a single fireplace with characters huddled around protected from the dark and/or cold.  I see the base as a sanctuary, a place to come to in relief from the untamed wilds with it's unpredictable sights and sounds.   Given that perspective why not something cheerful, well lit. welcoming?   A single fireplace isn't enough and a constraint on activity especially on long nights where there could be more productive uses of this time.   Three to four fire pits work, resource intensive.   Lamps might be better coupled with a single fire pit, if base is near a cave that works.   

Minor topic, been building bases on hermit island.   Forces you to optimize design due to space limitations, any cool designs out there?

Me and my friends spent some hours trying to figure out the exact age of The Constant, so this is what we got:
(This is not EXACTLY the age, since it was told that The Ancients ruled before Maxwell.)

Some rules:
8 in-game minutes = 1 day.
We also assumed that the seasons repeat. So we used 365 days instead of 70. 
48 Real life hours = 182 (Constant) years.
The Constant has no year leap, since all seasons are the same even when you reach 4 years in-game days.
One Constant year gets added every 2 real life leap years.

1906 is when Maxwell and Charlie did the last show.
1921 is when Wilson entered the Constant.

1906: 182 Constant Years.
1908: 546.5 Constant Years. 
1912: 1275 Constant Years.
1916: 2003.5 Constant Years.
1920: 2732 Constant Years.
1921: 2914 Constant Years.

If we assume someone ruled before Maxwell, The Constant is over 3000/4000 years.
(Sorry if i did something wrong, English isn't my main language.)

What do you guys think?

Do you know any game mechanic that could not be very popular, you use for your advantage and could let us know?

For example: If you feed a pig x4 monster meat and kill it, you get 2x meat and 1x pig skin; two out of three ingredients to prototype hambat, also, you can repeat the process to get pig skin without destroying pig houses.
