On topic "Tips on how to be Courteous to Fellow Players"

$
0
0

Hello fellow Forum Members! Those of you who've been around for a while probably remember this topic made by @MenaAthena:

It was pinned for quite a long time, however, it has been removed some time ago, I guess in the last year at some point.

I really liked the tips Mena gave, they can be the backbone of a healthy and friendly community. I (still) play quite often on public survival servers with random players of every skill level and these tips are still very actual. "Don't ask where the Base is Right After Joining" (a classic, heh :D), "Don't Pick Everything", "Don't Enter in Winter or Summer" or "If you don't want Strangers, set a Password" are some of the most important and relevant ones and my favourites (in fact, there's been a rant on the latter topic on steam lately (again)).

Does anyone know why this topic got un-pinned? Maybe because it got archived? I think it is still worthy of being on the top of the general forums, so that new players can find it as well. Could we get it back in some way?

What is your crockpot recipes suggestions that could fit in the game? Share with us!

Here is mine, few Turkish food that could fit game very well.

Menemen:
A food that made by roasted onions with tomatoes and eggs. It's healthy but not much filler. Great way to using tomatoes.

Karnıyarık:
A food that made by roasted eggplants with filled meat and garlic. It's could be a non-vegan alternative Stuffed Eggplant for Wigfrid. It's not that healthy but pretty filler.

Mücver:
A food that made by potato, pepper, onion and sometimes carrot too. It's really filler and usually really liked by vegans. I like to eat it on breakfasts which fill me for all day. Could be a great alternative for Meatball.

Servers Down?

Hello, 

 

Anyone else experiencing server issues? Login is fine but the game stays on the Launching Server screen forever. I tried playing on both Steam and PS4. 

 

Thanks 

Okay looks like it's a PSN issue according to Sony, not a Klei issue. 

Coincidentally my laptop is also having some issues and I needed to reinstall a driver, so it was only me having the issue on PC. 

A way to remove Staircases?

$
0

I've been testing the Minimalist Challenge mod for a bit and, depending of its random gens, it can spawn at most 2 Sinkholes. They lead into a more-or-less normal Cave shard (Small size), meaning said cave system has around 8-10 sinkholes; 6-8 of them, when accessed, normally lead to surface Florid Postern in lack of any other usual linking. While convenient, I don't fancy such "cheesy" shortcuts, and want to remove them. Problem is, I can't seem to be able to. I've used the following console commands:

Quote

ConsoleWorldEntityUnderMouse():Remove()

c_select():Remove()

..on Remote of course (personal server), to no avail. On Local it removes the visual but Staircases are still there, returning on reloading their area - so they should work in theory.

My question: does anyone know of a functioning console command or some mod (which adding doesn't require a fresh world generation) that can successfully remove Staircases for good?

Ty in advance!

Mobs killed by Wes drop more loot.

Other characters and mobs should not hit the target, only Wes should deal 100% of damage.

I hope I'm not doubling this topic, as I don't remember if it has been discussed already. I did a little bit of searching, but I'm quite terrible at it, so I wouldn't be surprised I missed it (or them!).
Nevertheless we met a couple of new survivors recently, so I figured we could stir the pot a little bit ;)

Please feel free to check a character if you don't like their personality, appearance,  their mechanics in game or even players that usually pick them.
I found out it's usually a little of it all and sometimes even something special.

Wilson, Wolfgang and Webber for me, sorry, not sorry :|

Can we make Bull Kelp removable?

Hello, i was wondering about Bull Kelp and i thik would be great if we had one way of remove Bull Kelp to plant in other places, since we can goo to the moon island and pick sobre Kelps to plant why we can't retrieve them again from water to plant in elsewhere if we want? i don't think this would make Kelp overpowered, we can push them with boats but it's hard to do it and sometimes they go through ground and get stuck but it's just my ideia what you guys think about it?.

Cheers.
 

Server issues

Hey, 

just wanted to drop this:

Servers won't work, server list is not uddating and won't let me rejoin the server I just joined on. As soon as I entered caves I got DC and now I am unable to rejoin. I deactivated every mod I used at the time but sources tell me other people might have the same problems.

Could you, Klei, at least try to put some effort into the care of official servers? At this point I highly doubt you make yourself any troubles with caring AT all. Extremely disappointed but I kind of expected this type of behavior. My last post was also about the server care and why official european servers were missing and outdated. I got 0 replies and was totally ignored. 

Not to sound salty but "Klei da best", make more skins and continue, just go on and ignore me. <3

The new farming system needs more automation

$
0
0

Some say that you can use the new system to accrue tons of food. While that is true, this is through tons of maintenance and that maintenance is simply not worth it in the long run because you can just put down a bunch of berries and even more stone fruit as well as plenty cactus to not have to bother much with the farming system at all. These plants require no maintenance other than fertilisation every now and then and that is enough. The new system requires checking in every now and then at minimum and there is no alternative way to simply grow plants quickly so that the engagement with the system stays on par with plants that require no maintenance at all. There needs to be sprinklers, the fruit fly fruit could spawn more flies that follow the fruit instead of one and the two Wickerbottom books need to be one book again. I don't feel like engaging with the new farming system if the yield isn't something that in the mid to late game you can plant, turn on sprinkler, have fruit flies tend to the plants and then simply read Wickerbottom's book for a full harvest.

If the plants are going to rot and be overgrown with weeds, the best way to automate this system is to make it viable to set everything up (sprinkler, use some way to tend to every plant), then grow plants quickly and harvest. Then when you want more crops, repeat that again, never leaving patches of untended crops. As opposed to waiting for them to grow and tending to them every day. Tending should be something you do early on in my opinion, not something that is the best you can do late game, because that is not comparable to the low maintenance plants and simply gets dull to do over time and all I end up seeing is weeds everywhere because none cares about the farming system. It is better than the old, but needs changes to make it fun, engaging and rewarding. It makes more sense to start with a system that requires maintenance, but that not being where it ends. Otherwise getting half a stack of berries, stone fruit and cactus once a season with little effort will always be more used than entire season spent on farming to get you a stack or two of every farm crop because of low maintenance.

I have a bad feeling the new system will stay as is now, because there has been no news on whether anything will be changed past it being released out of beta. I do not like the split of the Wickerbottom's horticulture book and the food growing book itself is just so weak it's completely useless to bother with. The crop book has been nerfed to the point where it just isn't worth the resources you need to gather for it, especially since large crops are not possible with it. If there is only one book and crafting cost stays high but can grow any crops within a certain radius and requires sanity to read, to me that would make it balanced while keeping it fun and useful. Besides, how is anyone going to figure out what each book does separately without being told explicitly, since their function is very similar.

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.

4 Garlic + 4 Potato=Win

With the help of Jazzy's guide(all hail jazzy, hes a cool dude), ive devised a great way to grow a great crock pot dish.
This takes VERY little effort due to how easy the new farming system is. The crops require 0 looking after.

https://dontstarve.fandom.com/wiki/Creamy_Potato_Purée

Creamy Potato Puree
20 Health, 37.5 Hunger, 33 Sanity
Requires: 2 potato, 1 garlic, 1 filler(no sticks or meats)
Cooks in 20 seconds
Spoils in 15 days

This dish gives you EVERYTHING. Great for helping you in a boss fight or tight spot, where your sanity's drained and youve taken hits. Gives half the health of pierogi, and the same health as a cooked potato, but it gives 33 sanity! No need to bring taffy down to the ruins with you now. Just one stack of superfood.

Make a farm plot, till 8 times. Plant 4 of each, and tend to each crop once. You are now guaranteed 8 crops + their seeds.

With these 8 crops you can make two potato puree.

Cost for 1 puree(values of ingridients, ice as filler): 41.5 Health, 61 hunger, -5 sanity)
Reward: 20 health, 37.5 Hunger, 33 Sanity

While you lose both hunger and health, you get a huge sanity boost.
 

Or just make jerky all day. Jerky is the best food in the game.


Here are some of my theories and headcanons (it may be of interest to you)

First, I want to start with Maxwell's quote 

Quote

What year is it out there? Time moves differently here

 
I think Maxwell and Charlie spent over 40,000 years in The Constant. And that is between 1906 and 1910 in earth time. Before Maxwell started taking people from the earth into the Constant. And the first Characters Maxwell Brought into the Constant was Wes, but Maxwell was displeased by Wes poor performance. So Maxwell imprisoned him. This is the list of the Characters that have been Brought into the Constant after Wes. When Maxwell was the king (the list is sorted by order)


Wickerbottom
Wolfgang
Woodie
Webber
Warly
Wigfrid
Willow
Wendy
Wagstaff
WX-78
Winona
Wilson


Now I'm going to explain why Winona is on the list. My reasons are 
1- Charlie did have a split personality when she grabbed Winona (that means it was before she took the throne) 
2- the design of the portal that Winona tried to fix is a bit similar to Maxwell's Door.
So Winona was just on a different island when Maxwell was the king
But when Charlie took the throne. She Brought Winona to the other survivors.

While the Characters in The Constant age normally. The moment they die their age reset to the point they first entered the Constant. But they have the memories of their past lives.

We know that the dark magic and the Nightmare Fuel can change a person's personality a lot like how William turns into Maxwell after finding the Codex Umbra.
When Maxwell and Charlie were dragged into The Constant "they" put Maxwell on the Nightmare Throne and fused Charlie with Nightmare Fuel. That caused her to have a split personality. A side of her was the sweet and caring Charlie. was mad at Maxwell for what happened and the other side was sadistic and cruel enjoyed seeing him suffer on the Nightmare Throne.


Maxwell was worried  about what happen to Charlie but when Wes died of total darkness when Maxwell was watching him. At that point maxwell know that there is a Night Monster, and it is non-other than Charlie. And aside from the split personality she is fully aware and conscious of what she is doing. Charlie relation to the Nightmare Throne is like Webber relation to spiders. The Nightmare Throne is not hostile to Charlie. Since she is not a fully human like Maxwell or Wilson. 


Charlie can free Maxwell from the Nightmare Throne if she wanted to. But if she freed him and took his place. Maxwell may think that maybe Charlie still cares about him. But she doesn't want him to think that way. So she waited and waited. When Maxwell became bored and wanted someone to take his place. While Charlie does have a split personality, she still has a personality. For example, she rolled her eyes every time Wilson died for a silly reason in the Adventure Mode. But finally Wilson took Maxwell place. In less than a minute after that Charlie went to the throne room, and we all know what happens after that.

Which Year of Event is best for amassing Lucky Nuggets?

With the upcoming update allowing us to change and cycle through old events at will I want to find out which Year of event is best for amassing huge amounts of Lucky Nuggets to get all the special sketches and hoard the special lanterns and fireworks as well as to be able to buy a TON of Lucky Whistles, Lucky Fans etc.

Year of the Beefalo so far is providing me with quite a few Lucky Nuggets however Year of the Gobbler seems pretty easy and straight forward. Seems like if you have a large berry farm already you can just feed a bunch of gobblers every day and constantly get Lucky Nuggets from them. Year of the Carrat seems like it takes a lot of setup and training your carrat to reliably get good rewards and Year of the Varg seems like it probably provides the slowest and lowest amount of Lucky Nuggets considering the Clay Varg isn't guaranteed from a Hunt right?

If anyone has already played most of the events could you give me some insight into which year of will likely provide the most Lucky Nuggets?

Passive Farming - Reap What You Sow Update

$

Okay, I finally figured out a way to effectively automate farming.  The RWYS update frustrated me a lot because it made farming an incredibly frustrating task that required a lot of time and attention to get decent rewards from.  So, finally, I have created a method for farming massive amounts of food while only having to interact with your crops when you plant them, and then you can just walk away until its time to harvest.

Benefits of this method:
+ One-time interaction with crops until harvest
+ No unwanted spawns of Lord of the Fruitflies
+ All crops grown are giant
+ Very simple, and can be done in the caves

Negatives:
- Does not grow large numbers of crops, so yield is smaller than mega farms
- Requires a little pre-planning (fertilizing the ground 1 time, killing 1 Lord of the Fruitflies)
- Can only grow a limited set of crops, not all crops
- Requires rotating crops
- Cannot be scaled up, already at maximum efficiency


Ok, now, to the method:

Make sure to spawn a Lord of the Fruitflies, kill it, and get the Friendly Fruit Fly Fruit.

The Friendly Fruit Fly Fruit needs to be placed on the ground for this to be passive, but he has a limited range and moves slowly.
He can reach 2 tiles North, South, East and West of him and 1 tile diagonally. Because of this, we are only going to use 4 tiles total for farming.
Imagine a 3x3 tic-tac-toe board.  Place the Friendly Fruit Fly Fruit in the center of the board, and then dig up the 4 corners of the board with Rigamajigs.

Then you will need to fertilize each tile to 100 on all three fertilizers one time.  Do this however you want.

Now, we will start with how to do this in Autumn and go season by season.  
 

Autumn:

Dig up 6 seed holes in each garden plot.
Plant 6 Corn Seeds on each garden plot and water 4 times.
You can now walk away because the plot has all the nutrients it needs, will be tended by the fruit fly, and will only drop to 22 Wetness at the most when the Giant Crops finish growing. 

Now, when you go collect your Giant Crops 3, the compost level is down to 4.  We need to get that back up, and we will do it with rotating crops.

So now, you will dig 6 seed holes in each garden plot again.
Then plant 6 Potato Seeds on each garden plot and water 4 times again.
Once again, walk away for 3 days and return to collect you 24 Giant Potatoes.
The Manure level is down to 4 on each plot now, but the Compost is back up to 52.

So, once more, dig 6 seed holes in each garden.
But this time you will plant 6 Carrots in each (and water each garden 4 times).
Walk away for 3 days, return, collect your 24 Giant Carrots.
Now the plots are each at 4 Growth Formula, 52 Manure, and 100 Compost.

So, start over with a new set of Corn Seeds and keep repeating this process until Autumn is over.
 

Winter:

In Winter we will be using Asparagus instead of Corn, as we are after Giant Crops and you can't grow Giant Crops out of season.

So, lets assume our last crop of Autumn was Carrots, and continue the process.

The first crop of winter will be 6 Asparagus Seeds in each garden plot with each plot watered 4 times.
Leave for 3 days, return and collect your 24 Giant Aspargus.

Then plant Potatoes, and after Potatoes you will plant Carrots, after Carrots you plant Asparagus again, and...well you get the idea.


Spring:

In Spring, we are back to Corn, Potatoes, and Carrots.
Keep repeating the rotation until Summer


Summer:

Ok, Summer is the curveball.  Here we have to change the gameplan as the previous rotations don't work and most Summer crops consume huge amounts of water, and we want to avoid those crops.

In Summer we will be growing Corn, Dragonfruit, and Pomegranates.

So, let assume your last crop of Spring was Potatoes.  Your Manure in each garden is only at 4, Compost is 52, and Growth Formula is 100.

We need to now dig up 8 seed holes in each garden plot and plant 4 Corn seeds and 4 Pomegranate Seeds in each.
Water each plot 4 times and walk away for 3 days.  When you return and collect your 32 Giant Crops, the gardens wil be at 0 Wetness.  Thats okay because only a few of the plants will have gotten 1 stress point, which means you still get Giant Crops.
The Growth Formula in each is now at 4, Compost is 52 still, and Manure is at 100.

So now you will again dig 8 seed holes, but this time you will plant 4 Corn Seeds and 4 Dragonfruit Seeds.  Water each garden 4 times, and walk away.
When you return for the harvest, the numbers will have flipped.  Manure is back at 4, Compost at 52, and Growth Formula is at 100.

So now you plant 4 Corn and 4 Pomegranates again, then 4 Corn and 4 Dragonfruit, etc. until the end of Summer.

When the next Autumn begins, start by planting Carrots if the last crop of Summer was Dragonfruit, or plant Potatoes if the last crop was Pomegranates.

Ta Dah!  A 100% passive Giant Crop farming setup that never requires additional fertilizers, extra watering, or fighting the Lord of the Fruit Flies.


Extra Tidbits:

Potatoes can be swapped out for Eggplants in Spring and Autumn
Carrots can be swapped out for Pumpkins in Autumn and Winter
Dragonfruit can be swapped out for Peppers in Summer
Pomegranates can be swapped out for Onions in Summer
Garlic and Durians suck, but if you want to grow them you can in Spring with a 4 Carrots / 4 Durian(or Garlic), then 4 Carrots / 4 Dragonfruit
Watermelon and Tomatoes suck because they drink water like crazy, when you're already losing 24 wetness a day in Summer from evaporation.  Grow 8 of them on their own plots and use stacks of 5 Ice to water them passively if you really want them.

If you don't want to fertilize everything to max the first time, just fertilize each garden with 13 Rot, 7 Manure, and preferably 1 Growth Formula Starter.  Then plant Corn as your first crop.  This is the poor man's method of getting this farming method started.

EDIT: Thanks to @QuartzBeam for explaining this method of exiling the Lord of the Fruitflies.  "You can exile the Lord of the Fruit Flies indefinitely, simply by spawning him at some remote spot and leaving him there. His Lordship will categorically refuse to go further than 8 or so tiles from his spawn point and will instantly drop aggro and return "home" if he goes that far. And since there can only be one Lord of the Fruit Flies at any time, that "protects" every other farm plot you make from uninvited nobility."

This allows my method to be used on all 8 tiles around the fruit fly fruit, thus doubling the yield.  I found that if you try to expand to all 12 tiles the friendly fruit fly can reach, he does not get around fast enough to tend all the plants, so I would suggest sticking to a maximum of 8 plots if you have exiled the Lord of the Fruit Flies elsewhere.


TLDR:

Put fruit fly fruit in middle of tile and dig 4 farm plots in the four diagonal tiles
Fertilize each plot to max
Water each garden to max when planting
In Autumn plant 6 carrots, then 6 potatoes, then 6 corn, then repeat
In Winter swap out Corn for Asparagus
In Spring, back to Corn
In Summer, Plant 4 Corn and 4 Dragonfruit together, then 4 Corn and 4 Pomegranates together, then back to Corn/Dragonfruit, etc.

Ambient Music Similar to ONI for DST or Consistent Music Option

As a content creator DMCA music is a huge problem so I always like to listen to my Spotify on my phone while having in game DST music. However sometimes the music in DST does not consistently play leaving dead silence sometimes. I would love to hear music similar to ONI soundtrack in DST or even the ability to have the DST soundtrack play consistently without stopping.

ONI soundtrack is nice to listen to but it does not really belong with DST but if we had something similar we could transition from I would love to have that especially while making large bases in DST.

Let me know your thoughts :)
