Hey everybody, 

As the Twitch drop hiatus is still ongoing, I thought I would come in and drop another round of 1700 points! 
(Link expires at 10am pacific next Thursday)

Till next time!

Hi, my name is Hao. I'm a player and a big fan of Don't Starve Together. I wonder why KLEI does not invest in a translation for DST to Portuguese (PT-BR). I know there are mods for this, but if this function were native within the game would be much better, the market in Brazil is not so encouraging for this ? And what's left for that to be native in the game? I wish I could help with this, and invite the Brazilian community to contribute to this idea.

We are introducing a system that will allow players to collect "points" on their accounts by doing various things like subscribing to our Youtube or following us on Twitter and then use those points to get items. Currently we will be using this to distribute our out of cycle Twitch items rather than selling them as we had previously suggested. This allows players to get what they missed before or just get them without going through Twitch.

The first version of this can be found on our accounts page here: https://accounts.klei.com/account/rewards

In the future we will update the rewards program with new ways to earn more points and pick up cool rewards they may have missed, or even possibly entirely new stuff. Let us know what you think!

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.

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.
 

This thread is for beefalo tamers 

I’ve had a lot of fun experimenting with rushing beefalo taming recently. What about y’all? Any cool characters, tendencies, goals, strategies, etc?

Feel free to talk about non-rushes too.

if you have any good idea post them here,or if you don't want skins for wurt post why

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.

 

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:

[1] Klei Support Article: How to link your Twitch Account to your Klei Account

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.

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

[3] Clicking the Twitch Account Number should directly bring you to your Twitch Account's setting (IF you are already currently logged in your Twitch Account in the same Web Browser). Then below is the image of your Connections and under OTHER CONNECTIONS should reflect Klei Entertainment:

[4] Also if you've accumulated enough watch times Twitch Notifications which would be the Mail Icon top right will have an alert badge clicking it will show all notifications and it should reflect that a drop has been granted to your Klei Account, example below:

[5] Twitch Gift Drops are received the same way we all received our Daily Drops which is upon first login of the day as soon as we enter the Main Menu of DST (after pressing Play and properly logged in). In case of Twitch Gift Drops, if Twitch Notification has alerted you a gift drop then simply go through the login process again. 

TROUBLESHOOTING:

If you've made sure of the things mentioned above 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

• Trying to re-link Twitch Account? Instead of using REMOVE ACCOUNT on Klei Account in [2] to unlink your TwitchAccount, try use the DISCONNECT button for Twitch in [3] instead. Then go through the process of LINKING your twitch account using the link in [1].

Make sure to double check for every method mentioned in the listed Klei Support Articles.

STILL NOT WORKING?

If none of these help, our last resort would be for you to directly reach out to Klei Support staff through this Submit A Request for with the following details:

Game: Don't Starve Together

Category: Account Help

Provide your Klei User ID (found in https://accounts.klei.com/account/info) + Twitch Account Username + ALSO a copy of your client_log.txt (Click Add File > Browse to to Documents\Klei\DoNotStarveTogether > Double Click client_log.txt)

OR DRAG-DROP the whole client_log.txt file from that folder into the drop files here box at the bottom of the Submit a request page.

Do not forget to add any substantial information in your description about what you've tried so far in trying to fix it. In case you might provide details that could help the devs further reduce the risk of any issues in the future.

Hopefully everyone who needs this information finds it.

I hope it helps, cheers.

POST UPDATE (Oct 28, 2020):

• Decluttered post for ease of use.
• Since issue that originally prompted the creation of this thread made has long been fixed, I've enclosed in the spoiler below all the prior information involving that specific issue for posterity.

POST 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.

I'm really hoping that in the future don't starve together will be released also on Nintendo switch, is Klei interested to do this porting?

Hello forum, here is another stupid question from me!
Who do you think is taller in length? Pigmans or avarage human characters like Wilson, Maxwell etc?

Human meat was called "long pig" so maybe this is a refferance to that humans are longer than them? Or is this called like that BC of they are not fat as pigs? I mean we call giraffes long (They are 4,2 meters) but we don't say same thing about elephants (They are 6,5 meters) and that's because of the shape of body and weight.

In real life, pig lengths change in 1 meters to 2 meters if they would walk like DST pigs, so that makes them longer than us. I don't know much about pig breeds and I couldn't figure what breed could DST pigs be.

If we look into the game about lengths;

They have almost same length in game.

In trailers pigs are much taller even when pigs be on back.

In steam menu page humans are much taller even when pigs be on front.

So, let's discuss LOL

since the last update im unable to chat with anyone. i use controller on PC and before you would click R3 type your message press A or Y and it would be said. now you click R3 and it brings world options up if i then use my keyboard to type a message it will write it out but wont send. i can type wave and it ill wave so i know its working to some extent. after trying this on my crontroller it seems to knock the controller from play as i can run around using the controller but nothing else, cant switch items or drop anything. this only happens after ive tried to communicate. please help me some dude took all my thuelesite armour and i couldnt ask him to either drop it or help me do gaurdian quick!! please help

i find 2 good seeds on klei servers and other playing in my server

seeds:

reed trap in the south of the map(1614622801)

other reed trap map(1614359644)

4 pig torch with a lot of grass(1614534589)

cane near cave entrance in the caves(1614622821)

moon island 1 boat distance from oasis(1607618474)i find this seed on youtube

Star caller's staff fails to transform into Moon caller's staff in Moon Stone.
Tried with two Star caller's staffs back to back, just turns off after a while.
I'm not sure if this is a new thing or not, but I haven't been able to find any info anywhere so asking here.

Anyone else experience this during a full moon?

You get the light streaming down, and then after a little bit poof it just stops.

To those asking me for those images of the Klei museum, finally found them.  They were in my statuses.

Kudos to @jantonio back in 2019.

I am personally liking YOTB. New mechanics and items are great. However after a bit of testing and trying out the new stuff I wonder if some of these changes are temporary?

Will we still be able to bring our beefalos to the caves?

Are bells permanent? Can I craft it following months in a new world?

And one last thing, I know this is a no but will we be still able to dress our beefalos after the event? I was shocked seeing beefalo outfits however I very much dislike the idea of most of these beautiful cosmetics, mechanic, items of all YOT items won't be available for another 12 years after they were added. 

Carrats, belts, clout snouts (even elite pigs) stayed, but they don't have much of a permanent use. I think we should see a new ancient crafting station that lets us build previous years' YOT structures. This would lead to an aesthetic look on worlds and would open the way of Klei to bring and add new features every 12 years (which I don't doubt).

Currently, carrats are being used to lower sanity on Lunar Island, and I haven't seen a single elite pig since YOTP ended. It is a shame that all the hard work Klei puts in these mechanics, and fun we are having lasts 28 days and no more,

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 ), "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?

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.

Why can't I just kill Malbatross on land by teleporting him and myself with the telelocation centers and the staff? This is an equally valuable exchange, a lot of magical resources for fighting on the surface

When I teleport it, it just flies off into the sky
