So, I was in my server when 1 of my crops got diseased so I checked the world settings and I wanted to change it to none. Is there anyway that I can change the setting without deleting my world or causing permanent damage. Its a 300 day world so I cannot just delete it and start a new one ?

Last week I had a poll to determine which piece of the lore I would cover first and the most popular request was to cover Charlie and Them, and that's what we'll be doing today. We'll be covering what lead up to Charlie becoming the Shadow Queen and theories on her plans as well as who They are and Their significance to the story.

Charlie

The current antagonist of the story, Winona's sister, Maxwell's former assistant and the Shadow Queen herself, Charlie was first introduced as Maxwell's assistant for his magic shows back in the William Carter Puzzles. Unlike Maxwell, who likely had somewhat of an understanding that his 'shadow tricks' were real and potentially dangerous, Charlie was completely unaware of their nature as evidenced by her letters to Maxwell.
 

Her and Maxwell appeared to have been on good terms prior to being dragged into the Constant, with Charlie even suggesting they can use her family cabin to take a break from the magic business for a while when she saw Maxwell's 'study room', where he would likely examine the Codex Umbra, and was concerned for his wellbeing. Maxwell also cared for her and is still implied to, with him protecting her from the shadows in the William Carter Puzzles and showing remorse for his actions in DST.
 

In The Final Act, we see Maxwell and Charlie performing for an audience, with Maxwell reaching into the Codex Umbra to grab the shadows to pull them out of the Umbra for their act. Ironically, Maxwell gets grabbed by Shadow Hands instead and after a brief struggle and relief from the Shadows, two large hands appear and grab both Maxwell and Charlie, thrashing them around before the video ends.

 

 What happens next? Well, we're not sure on the details. What we do know is that the end result is that Maxwell ends up on the Nightmare Throne and it persuades him to bring others into the Constant, and Charlie gets 'possessed' by the shadows and becomes the Night Creature that terrorizes the survivors when they're in complete darkness without any way of seeing their surroundings. It should be noted that while Charlie does 'share' her body with a shadowy force, she does appear to be able to control herself at times as seen in the A New Reign Cinematic.

It should be noted that while we can't pin down exactly when Winona's Cinematic takes place, given that Charlie appears in both her non-shadow and shadow forms rather than as the Queen we know her as now, and that the real Wagstaff (Don't Starve's Wagstaff being a projection of him instead) and Winona are transported into the constant, it's very likely that it takes place right before the ANR cinematic. Just wanted to clarify that she didn't intend to kidnap her sister. There are comments that are made from her that can be found in the files as well that confirms that she did not intend for that as well.

 

  --...I'm so sorry, I never meant for you to come here.

Now, for ANR. For the cinematic there's quite alot to dissect. 

First off, Charlie appears and casually lets Wilson be unbound from the Nightmare Throne. This is something that's always caught my attention since Maxwell was on the Throne for who knows how long but he was bound to it and never received any form of help. This implies that Charlie held what happened to both of them against him and never tried to help him as a result. Another thing is that the Throne only allowed Maxwell to be freed when Wilson used the Divining Rod to 'unlock' him from it using the Nightmare Lock. Wilson being stuck on the Throne implies that it was then locked yet again to trap him. So Charlie being able to just unlock it with the tap of her finger without even touching the Lock was always very interesting to me, especially since the Throne is sort of an object of 'ultimate power' yet she can manipulate it.

Side note: In hindsight, I should've probably included Wagstaff and The Throne in that poll I made. I'll get around to discussing both of those things eventually though.

Next, Charlie's shadow side attacks Wilson after he's been freed and seemingly tries to kill him. While you could write it up as her trying to torture/kill him, given that we see her doing something with the Ancient Gateway in the Forge trailer, it's also possible that she was sapping the power of the Throne from Wilson to make her its rightful owner or something similar. Once Wilson's been taken care of and the shadow side is done with him, she opens a portal back into the Constant to drop Wilson in. 

Next is what I'd say is the most interesting part of the trailer. Charlie reverts to her human half and looks confused and worried about Wilson's whereabouts but doesn't seem too concerned, as if she's used to her shadow half hurting others or people disappearing on her due to that half killing them. She proceeds to pick up the Throne after the explosion from her powers knocks it over and her shadow half redesigns the Throne room to be very dark and menacing in design. Her human half however, has other ideas on how the Throne room should be designed and gives it a much more grand appearance with white ceramics. The two sides fight over how the Throne room looks (with human Charlie's magic being represented by white and shadow Charlie's being represented by black) until eventually there's a blast of red magic that transforms the Throne room once more, this time with the throne room comprising of various whites, blacks and greys as well as roses. This implies that after a brief internal conflict, the two sides 'fused' or reached a balance/compromise (compromises in my uncompromising game smh). This fusion is the Shadow Queen we know now, her magic being symbolised by red in the cinematic (which was also the colour used for when she took the power from Wilson, potentially implying both sides of her wanted the throne at that point) and her being associated with roses elsewhere.

Why she suffered this fate whereas Maxwell was bound to the Throne is unknown. It should be noted that Maxwell and Charlie's fates seem to parallel that of the two Ancient rulers in the Metheus murals. One (the staff wielder) abused the fuel for their own purposes while their assistant (the torch bearer) kept them in check, eventually things get out of control and the 'king' is left alone on the throne while the 'queen' is taken by the shadows. Klei obviously wanted to do this but trying to reason why ingame is something I can't do with the current information sadly. It could be that Maxwell stopping the shadows from taking Charlie had upset them and they decided to fuse with her instead due to Maxwell's disrespect. Who can say really.

Now as for what her plans are now, who can say for certain. We see her influence ingame as she finishes off the Ancient Fuelweaver in the Atrium, leaving behind the fossil but seemingly taking the Fuelweaver himself since the Shadow Atrium is lost and he gets sucked into a portal of sorts. We then see her at the Ancient Gateway after it's been activated when the survivors go into the Forge, either taking some of its power, seeing where the survivors ended up, trying to understand its power, or it could be that she was trying to reach out to something in particular (since the Gateway likely doesn't just lead into the Forge since Wortox says that's where he came from and the Metheus Murals showing that the Ancients used it to further use nightmare fuel). That thing, being Them.

Them

Throughout DS/T's lifespan we've constantly heard of Them from Maxwell, Battlemaster Pugna and the Ancient Fuelweaver. Who they are is a question that's been asked fairly often, with RoT there's been theories that even the Moon can be some form of Them. Based on the information we have, They are an unknowable force that seems to have been the source of all nightmare fuel and has destroyed the lives of both the Ancients and the denizens of the Forge (and quite possibly more we don't know of) after they both depended on Their power for their civilisations to thrive.

With respect to the Ancients, the Fuelweaver's dialogue implies that he is indeed the spirit of one of the Ancients, potentially even the King. His dialogue also implies that he's trying to 'save' us from a much worse fate that awaits us if we continue down this path the survivors follow and says that They are coming and it's inevitable, that Charlie is not Them (when she grabs him at the end) and curses Their name which implies that they hold a grudge against Them. Because of all this, we can infer that the shadows we know of are not an extension of Them like how Gestalts are extensions of the Moon Entity, that whoever They are are not in the Constant the survivors reside in, that Charlie even when corrupted isn't actually controlled by 'Them' and that They had a big part to play in the Ancient's history, likely being what brought their civilisation to ruin. Another thing to note is that when being taken, the Fuelweaver remarks that someone is easily deceived. Whether this someone is us being deceived by Charlie as she uses us for her plans or Charlie being deceived by Them is unknown.

 

With respect to Pugna, he constantly brings up the Throne and Them, saying that the denizens of the Forge were 'severed' from the Throne and had no 'staff' to provide. That They destroy all that They touch and that his plan is to use the Gateway to destroy the Throne. For what 'staff' refers to, in the Metheus Murals we see that one of the two main Ancients wields a staff (which the Ancient Cane skin is based off of) and in the second mural we can see in the top of the mural he performs several tasks such as reanimating a fossil (the Fuelweaver's fossil), creating tools, growing crops, etc. This could imply that there are staffs that one can use to use Their power to improve the quality of life for a civilisation and that there was no staff that was given to Pugna to provide for his people, and that they were trapped in the Forge by the Throne/Them. Furthermore, They destroying all that They touch further supports that the entity in the Gateway that killed the Ancients were indeed Them.
 

Maxwell's quotes state that They are in the Throne Room as well. Saying They might have gotten tired of him, that They showed him terrible, beautiful things, that They just watch him, and that when he first got to the Throne Room there was nothing but dust, the void and Them. This implies most things in the Throne Room are Maxwell's creations, though since we know that Pugna is aware of the Throne and Maxwell's quote implies he doesn't know what he's talking about with respect to his reasoning and plans but doesn't comment on knowing him prior, it's likely that the Throne existed before Maxwell got to the Throne room and either They brought it there for Maxwell to be bound to or the Throne is the embodiment of Them or an extension of Them. It's noteworthy that Maxwell is most likely referring to Pugna's plans to destroy the Throne when he says Pugna's deluded and not Pugna stating that They abandoned his people.

 

So, why aren't They here? How are They returning? And what's Charlie's plan which most certainly involves Them?

Well, to answer that we need to look at the Metheus Murals once more. Specifically the first and last images.
 

As we can see, the Gateway's appearance changes in every single mural (the second and third have previous been used in the post if you would like to see them). What's important is that the first version has a very symmetrical and complete design, lined with black and white energy. The final design shows the black energy is out of control and there's next to no white in the mural. Now of course black and white doesn't have to specifically be Shadow and Lunar magic alone, but for the first Gateway's design it can be a safe assumption (especially since we know the Ancients once worshipped the Moon) to make that the Gateway was powered by both Lunar and Shadow magic when it was activated. As the murals progress, we also see less and less of this white energy/Lunar magic being used in the Gateway. This could have lead to Their power being out of control and Them emerging from the Gateway, killing off the Ancients except for one of the rulers, who the second ruler had defended with what appears to be Lunar magic. What could have lead to the Gateway being destroyed could be that Lunar and Shadow magic are both required to make a stable rift in space for the Gateway, and the lack of Lunar magic lead it to destabilise and partially destroy itself. We know Lunar and Shadow magic combined can be used to mess with reality itself too.

The Celestial Portal and Moon Rock Idol both use moon rocks and a purple gem and are involved with carrying our survivor into a separate instance of the Constant and bringing another survivor into our instance. This, alongside Walter's Slowdown Ammo which uses the same materials, are the only instances of both Lunar and Shadow materials being used to construct something (if I'm forgetting something please inform me in the comments) and they both involve warping reality/space. This provides evidence to my theory that Shadow magic isn't sustainable on its own for the Gateway, which could also be why the Gateway destabilises after the fight with the Fuelweaver (it only destabilising after he leaves could simply represent that it can only sustain itself for a short amount of time using Shadow magic and that time is represented by how long it takes us to fight the Fuelweaver).

So, with this information, and that Charlie achieved a 'balance' of both her Light (human) and Dark (shadow) selves, she could be trying to repair the Gateway and use a balance of both Lunar and Shadow magic (similar to her two sides achieving balance and the first version of the Gateway) in order to bring Them back through a stabilised portal. 

What her plan is after bringing back Them however, is beyond me. And anytime I try to guess, Klei just adds new lore that throws any theories I had out the window. Personally, I would prefer that Charlie remains the main antagonist given the years of build-up we've had with her. While the same can be said for Them, having Charlie's grand plan being to be the assistant for some other entity that uses shadow magic again just doesn't sit well with me. It's possible she's trying to obtain the power of both Them and the Moon Entity, however considering the power they've both showcased, I'm at a loss as to how she can possibly do that. Since the Ancients kept Their power in check for a while, it's possible she can use both magic to keep the portal in check so They can't be unleashed as they once were when they killed the Ancients, and she can then use Their power to increase her own. But, why would she? Again, not sure. It's important to note that the ANR cinematic does imply that she's not on the side of the survivors or the side of Them, she's on a side of her own. And what that means for her plans is something that only Klei knows at this point.

As of now if I had to guess what's next, the survivors are likely going to obtain a source of Lunar magic in either the next update or the one after that that Charlie can then use as a source to stabilise the Gateway. Whether that be from the Moon itself somehow (the teaser name 'Fee Fi Fo Thumb' implies a beanstalk so something from the Moon itself is only improbable due to technical limitations) or from whatever we grow in the next update (again, update name implies a beanstalk or some sort of plant) or something else entirely, I'm not sure. Something to note is that the Celestial Orb has been called the 'moonrockseed' for the longest time in the code so it's likely that whatever we grow is going to have to use the Celestial Orb somehow.

Before I finish, I didn't really touch on how the Ancients started using Their magic and the fuel. To summarise: after they worshipped the Moon (why they stopped is something we don't know but it's implied they willingly stopped rather than the Moon just cutting off their power. This is implied due to the buried Celestial Sanctum which is specifically found with an Archives tool and the fact they still used Lunar magic for the Gateway) they were on the verge of their civilisation dying out until something happened which caused a 'dark wave' to pass over their city, causing them to molt and attain stronger bodies and then begin to abuse the fuel. From the 'dying out' portion of this paragraph onwards, we can use the Ancient Murals as reference.
 

And with that, that concludes my post on Charlie, her plans and Them. To anyone to stuck around to read the whole thing or to anyone who even read part of this, I greatly appreciate your time and to the people who read my Forgotten Knowledge lore post I thank you for encouraging me to continue writing up on Don't Starve's lore. I hope this post was as enjoyable as the last. I do understand it was super long once again though and I apologise for that, there's just alot to cover with Charlie and Them, especially since one or both are likely to be the main antagonists of the series.

The poll asked for me to cover Character Backstories next but given the amount of lore that would be in total (even if some barely have lore) I might hold off on that to cover something else or split that into two posts. We'll see. Until then, take care! 

Lawful good

Wolfgang

In the past he was a soldier, but from several quotes we know that he has kept his spirit of camaraderie. An idealistic character (he was a communist), he inspires the idea that he would be willing to sacrifice himself for the other survivors. Maybe.

Winona

Engineer and perhaps, even before that, miner. Winona has always professed a commendable deontological ethics and her entire existential path is in an attempt to save her sister. His existential mission is that of a martyr. She will suffer for our sins.

Walter

Simple person, few questions but many good intentions. Fear of pain is the only bugbear of a pious soul.

Neutral good

Woodie

He lived alone, the hermit of the woods. Woodie is definitely a good man, cursed by the world and fate. Beyond the established order, a good man tries to make a living by cutting wood.

Webber

A strange mixture between beast and man, endowed with an unexpected sensitivity and a certain childhood. Too good for this world.

Wormwood

Desperate for friends or the like, he still does not grasp the terrible truth: there are no others like him in this world. On this.

Warly

The kitchen follows very specific rules. But a good dish is a requirement of the spirit rather than the palate.

Chaotic good

Wortox

Benign demon, able to bend space-time according to its capric. Devoted to mocking mortals and their fleeting worries, he has decided for some inscrutable reason to remain in the Constant and oppose THEM.

Lawful neutral

Wickerbottom

Follower of the order as such, the order for the order.
Everything can be learned, cataloged, and ultimately learned for the zealous librarian.
Ethical issues to others, only knowledge has value. But knowledge without order is impossible.

Wigfrid

Follower not of the law of men but of the Gods, she is only a conduit for something beyond. Judge, executioner and headsman of mortals.

Wurt

Reason of state above all. The good of many, the misfortune of the expendable. She has a great picture in mind. A picture that does not include pigs.

True Neutral

Wilson Percival Higgsbury

Beyond good and evil, far from the concubiscible impulses of the soul or from the blunders of moral judgment, there is the scientist: without malice or benevolence, he seeks the rational order insisting in nature. The perfect order within the mind of God.

Wes

"..."

Chaotic Neutral

Willow

Mind misled by abandonment and abuse, a destructive fire burns in her gaze, free from sadism or cruelty. Fire for fire, simply.

William Carter

The fool does not know what is about to begin... William has always been an individual out of the box, with too little moral...

Wendy Carter

A tormented soul, which has followed every rite, every blasphemy, every unclean ritual, in order to violate the laws of nature and revive those who were dead. But the chaos of the mind cannot lead to anything concrete; only a well-organized mind can hope to successfully investigate the mysteries of life and death.

Lawful Evil

WX-78

A machine without empathy, built to be as efficient as possible.

Innumerable dimensions exist beyond the one most properly congenial to us, parallel realities where concepts of time and space appear distorted and bizarre, as do the creatures that live there. Sometimes "weird" imitations, other times nightmares that seem to have found a way to take shape and life.
THEM are beings of these spaces beyond ours.
Are they the gods of Constant? We are not given to know.
We know that they like to observe what happens and that, from time to time, they share their knowledge with some mortal they find interesting: they show terrible and beautiful things, stupendous in their malicious allusiveness.
Can they grant powers of creation and destruction? We don't know exactly; Maxwell's powers are born well before meeting THEM.
But THEM were no longer on Constant, if they only recently returned.
Something must have again drawn their attention to this decaying and dying kingdom, where the path of civilization has flowered and collapsed several times.
Of course, the catastrophic event of the lunar meteorite may have been found by THEM interesting enough to look back.
Perhaps they are studying the emergence of intelligent societies, as otherworldly scientists.
Perhaps they are curious to see what the men of the moon will be able to build, and for how long.
Of course, THEM are not friends. Maybe not even enemies. They exist, like the mountains. They operate in ways that are difficult for us to understand, not unlike the way more complex physical phenomena are difficult to understand.
I imagine Wilson one day standing on the highest cliff of Constant and screaming with all the breath of his body: "THEM ... I came to negotiate ...!"

So i participated in the event, drew picture, and even got shared among other works, but still havent received the skin reward... 

Anyone has similar problem?

Hey everyone! I noticed that there's a buttload of new memes and no place to put them. Post them here for people to see (and so we can stop clogging up the puzzle thread). Enjoy!

Edit: Also, the memes don't have to be Maxwell themed. All characters are welcome. This is merely a sequel of a previous meme thread.

Wormwoods upsides relay in easy food farming and an ability to easily control your sanity by chopping or planting plant and his downside is not being able to heal from foods

Mast beginners have trouble avoiding starvation and are scared of insanity, so wormwood can help them with that, and unless they have watched a cooking guide, they wont know any recipe for healing, or probably wont even have the ingredients to make them, so until they get more experienced they wont have to learn anything but meatballs/meaty stew and just use honey pultices and healing salves

either that or im just saying nonsense

Ever feel that you had a question about DST but felt it didn't deserve it's own thread? Well then ask it here.

I made a klei account to be able to get the rewards that are available and I subscribed to the newsletter which I would've done anyway just to get the emails but when I click the claim reward button for the newsletter it just shows the klei logo for a few seconds and nothing happens. Can someone help with this or did anyone else get the same problem?

Walter has been on the list long enough, there is almost dababy's Rockstar on the billboard list for so long? I think klei should be replaced with the latest cover with the version update.

If you use the cleanup mods function, an error occurs. With it, you can no longer replace the mod settings.

Why can't I delete 1 unnecessary mod separately?

Final Note

We’re already hard at work on the next update. With the holiday event season starting up we have a lot to do, so the normal content and character refresh schedule is going to be a little out of whack for a bit. We have the beta for another content update coming in November followed by its release and Winter’s Feast in December. After a much-needed holiday break in December, we will bring you The Year of the Beefalo and then (hopefully) be back to our normal schedule.

I have a new little teaser for you for the November beta update. This is a pretty big one, and something a bit different, but… I think you’re gonna like it.

5 days after halloween, so yeah, perfect time for horror stories

are there any creepypastas about dst or did it avoid that phase of the internet

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.

The anenemy trap is more efficient and infinite. You need less walls as well. Not everyone wants to bother going to Lunar Island though so here's an alternative. It can get messed up if you bring meat with you or leave veggies too close, but it works okay for me. I used console commands to test the concept quickly.

The walls are spaced so that they don't get damaged by the Bramble Traps. Each trap deals 40 damage so it takes 5 traps to kill the Bunnyman and they are good for 10 goes. The carrot is placed at the end of the traps because the gate is just too far. It's also a bit too tight around the bunny house so maybe an extra wall of space might be better. Still, it's something Wormwood can do. Just need to hammer 2 bunny houses and bleed a little then it's good to go. Pathing might mess up if you don't pick up the carrots he drops each night though. 

It's pretty consistent as long as you make sure the carrot bait is in the right place, pick up the loot and reset the traps. Is it worth it? Dunno. I just wanted to try it out for fun.  

Edit:

Sometimes he hangs out the back of the rabbit house. Might want to compress the wall there a bit more if possible. It seems like the bunnyman can also spawn within 2 spaces from the house so if you put the walls too close he spawns out of them.

I studied the problem for several days before writing this post. Is the game using a different port for ping? How is this system implemented in a dedicated server? 10999 UDP port (from server.ini) opened on router. There are three providers, all of which have a fixed public IP. However, no ping is displayed through any of them in the public server table. External ports are closed for incoming connections for security. Opened only 10999 UDP

Hello!

I was browsing the Klei store for merch, as I’m a complete nerd, and I noticed that the Chester Plush has been out of stock for some time. Naturally, when I saw this I turned to that dark corner of the internet that we all turn to buy stuff that’s out of stock. (eBay) I found several listings for a Chester Plush. However, upon closer inspection, I found that the descriptions for these items are... well, they’re a little off-putting. One description literally praises the majesty and beauty of China. The others contain so many misspellings that anyone who has been around the internet for more than a day would think twice about purchasing them. What are the chances that some of the out of stock plushies will return? Trying to get an idea of what’s to come before Christmas gets here. Thanks for all you guys and gals over at Klei do. You have a fan for a life. 

Just here asking a nonsense question. I actually lost my Survival world to an infinite loading screen before(120s counted down, but I never loaded in; mod issue)
and I kiiinda don't want that to happen again.
Sure, Endless prevents that from happening. Although, it just ruins the Permadeath mechanic of DS completely which makes Endless a little too easy.

Also, I want to ask as well: Do you prefer Survival, or Endless more?

Thanks.
