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

So, I, as a newer player (I only have been playing DST for a few months now), main Winona, and I just have to say that I love her in-game quotes. Whenever I play, I literally go out of my way in some of my worlds just to examine something to see what her comment on it will be. I just highly appreciate how her character shines through her words (and another plus is the fact that some hint at possible lore, which I'm assuming most people know already).

Recently, I have begun to explore some more characters as well (Wilson and WX-78), and I find Wilson's quotes (though quite a bit of it is simply saying what the item does, from what I've seen) to be adorable, and WX-78's quips are just downright hilarious to me. I'm planning on trying out Walter and Wigfrid soon, too.

I'm just going to share a few quotes that I can remember off the top of my head, and I encourage you guys to do the same! I don't think I have explored enough of this community to know exactly how much people have really stopped to appreciate the writing the developers have not only put into the characters' stories, but the writing simply put into developing their personalities too. 

Winona:

• any of the pun quotes 
• (boulder) "Mhm, yep. That's a rock."
• (some tree, can't remember which one) "Yep. Definitely a tree."
• (red cap) "Let Max try it first."
• (hot dragon chili salad) "Can't believe Warly's got me eatin' salads."
• (carrying a marble sculpture... sometimes) "Like eggs in coffee!"

Wilson:

• any of the pun quotes
• (redbird in inventory) "He likes my pocket."
• (closed eyebone, meaning Chester's dead) "It went to sleep."
• (Woby) "It's a scientific fact that petting a good dog will improve your day.
• (evergreen) "It's all piney."
• (rose) "To match my rosy cheeks."

WX-78

• (talking to the plants) "I'M NOT TALKING TO YOU." "THIS IS ME NOT TALKING TO YOU."
• (I think a feather...?) "WHY IS THE FEATHER SO APPEALING? EXPLAIN NOW, FLESHLINGS."
• (science machine) "MOTHER?"
• (burnt crockpot) "POT MALFUNCTIONING."
• (something burning, can't remember what) "IT'S BURNING. OH WELL."
• (rabbit earmuffs) "I WILL UTILIZE THEIR FURRINESS."

All in all, appreciation for the characters' quotes (Wes may not have quotes, but he still has his pantomimes! ^v^)

Warly Tips:

BY: "Grim, the#1055" on discord, "Grim the" on the Klei Entertainment Forums.
Special Thanks to "dogman#6179" for asking "any warly tips" on the unofficial Don't Starve discord, and to "(H)on(ey) Nuggets" and "OG Nickname" for reviewing this guide for typos.

Hunger:
Warly's hunger may seem difficult at first, but it really is quite simple. Since his memory lasts 2 days, and he loses 90 hunger a day, that means for any combo, you need 180+ hunger. All you need is meatballs and meaty stew, which gives 212.5 hunger.
How do you make meaty stew? 3 meat value. The recipe I recommend is 2 meat and 1 monster meat, or 1 meat, 1 monster meat, and 2 morsels/drumsticks.

Health:
While health may be difficult compared to what you're likely used to with perogi and other foods, health isn't *too* big of an issue, with enough preparation. First, use Pepper-Spiced Volt Goat Chaud-Froid in boss fights whenever you can. Why? Spicy Volt Goat Chaud-Froid makes you do 1.8x damage to dry targets, and 3x damage to wet targets. If the fight takes a third of the time, the mob can hit you one third of the normal amount, resulting in a third of the normal damage taken. In addition, you can use garlic spice to give you 33% damage resistance, further reducing the amount of healing you need. Although expensive, salt spice also increases how much a spiced food heals you by 25%. Now let's say you're tanking deerclops with a dark sword, and compare the cost to tanking deerclops with a dark sword after eating spicy volt goat chaud-froid, eating garlic meatballs, and using salt perogi as healing. 
No Spices:
A dark sword has 154.54 DPS, and deerclops has 4000 health, meaning deerclops will die in 25.88 seconds. This means deerclops can hit you 6 times, for 75 damage a hit, for 450 total damage.
Spices & Chaud-Froid: 
A dark sword has 278.17 DPS, and deerclops has 4000 health, meaning deerclops will die in 14.37 seconds. This means deerclops can hit you 3 times, for 49.5 damage a hit, for 148.5 total damage. 

As seen by my calculations, with spices you take 33% of the normal damage, vastly reducing the amount of damage you take, even after armor. 

I recommend using high-health healing foods like surf n' turf and wobster bique, along with honey poultice.

Sanity:
There really aren't too many good sanity foods that also aren't expensive, with the exception of jelly salad. (+50 sanity, 2 leafy meat 2 honey) However, you also can't smash green caps for easy in-sanity, and there's only 2 crockpot foods that take sanity without taking health too. (Stuffed Pepper Popers {-5} and Fish Cordon Bleu {-10}, both aren't worth the cost) Because of this, you've got 2 options when it comes to sanity- 

Option A:
Ebb and flow from sanity to insanity, and get the fuel that comes with it. 

Option B:
Rush the shadow manipulator for a dark sword and night armor **exclusively** for going insane, and farm fuel like that.

**Option C:**
Gonna copy the discord server's rules here, and make my own rule 5:

Rule 5:
"If a member of the Staff team asks you to stop doing something that is not explicitly listed here, please listen to them."
Pretty much these arent the only ways to farm fuel, and if you find another method, please do tell me.

Extra Tips:
The belt of hunger allows you to go 5 days without eating on a full stomach.
Base in the oasis, as it allows you to be close to Volt Goats for Volt Goat Chaud-Froid, and farming during summer without flingomatics. Also fish during summer for Moqueca.
https://dontstarve.fandom.com/wiki/Crock_Pot/Recipe_Table is your friend until you learn all the recipes.
Get a lureplant farm set up fast, as it gives you access to Jelly Salad and Beefy Greens.
The best farm synergies for Warly, at least in my opinion, is 3 pepper, 3 garlic, and 3 onion, and 4 potato & 4 tomato.

This is not final, and it may change as I continue to learn more about playing and mastering Warly.

Closing Notes:

I might do a Walter guide after I eat a couple jelly salads to regain my sanity, and I might elaborate more on recipes I use. If there's any typos, please DM or @ me on discord or the forums.
This guide was originally written for discord, and as such, there way be formatting errors.

Au Revior,

Grim, the

Since 5 March, on a daily basis, a few sellers are selling skins on a massive quantity, with price of skin declining about 50%. This is generally across all the skins except for heirloom, guest of honor, funko pop skins. An example of the price plunge https://steamcommunity.com/market/listings/322330/FIREPIT_FANGED 

I believe someone has managed to obtained 10,000-30,000 accounts, hopefully legitimately, logging in daily to get the skin drop and then selling them to the market. If the trend is to continue, I would expect price of an elegant skin to eventually to drop to 3 cents each.The computational cost of logging in an account daily and then selling it to the market would be very cheap, with the major cost being the cost of purchasing a DST account. So even if the botter is selling elegant skin at 3 cents each, the botter would likely still make a marginal profit.

If the trend is to continue,

The owner of the bots is expected to profit

Players desiring skins would be able to get skin for cheap

Current and future owners of skins would experience a devaluation of skin

Bona fide players would be less incentivise with the skin drop

Klei pricing of skins would be severely depressed by the flood of cheap skins that can be converted to spool. This would then then decrease the revenue of DST and limit its future viability.. 

Basic assumptions:
1) The Codex Umbra originates from our world, as William Carter found it in the desert following a train accident.
2) "Magic" also exists in our world: ghosts, shadows and curses are real, not just the fruit of fantasy and superstition.
3) The Constant is not a creation of William Carter, and as far as we have known from time immemorial creatures of different worlds transit inside the Constant (humans, krampus, shadows, Them)

That said: nothing prevents us from thinking that the Codex Umbra was written by a previous "traveler" who had the opportunity to see the Constant and to enclose its esoteric knowledge in the book of shadows.
There are several ways to travel between dimensions: gates abound in shape and size, different characters have been able to independently open a functioning gate (Wilson, Wagstaff, Winona...)
It has always intrigued me that William Carter has decided to call himself "Maxwell" and that, by chance, a red "M" is imprinted on the cover of the Codex Umbra.
I think Maxwell was the original name of the author of the Codex Umbra, a narcissus who couldn't resist putting his first initial on the cover of the manuscript. William Carter, who wanted to change his identity, found in the name Maxwell his new "I", as the "spiritual heir" of the original writer of the Codex Umbra.
A question arises: what happened to the first Maxwell? Perhaps he lies in a death-like sleep, waiting for the stars to align themselves again...

I'm not entirely sure if this will ever happen, I'm just very curious. I know alot of games have recently been shifing towards cross-platform. To name a few..... Dead by Daylight, Minecraft, both Modern Warfare and Cold War, Fortnite, Rocket League, soon to be Terraria, and so on. I'm just very curious if it's ever possible to do so.

Thanks, Sincerely,

Cactus

I ain't tryin' to start a debate or anythin'. Well... what're your thoughts 'bout this?

Now I know. I really tried creating this topic in the PS4 forums and got no responses in an entire week. So, I'm going to try here. 

I've really been trying to find a commutative team. Have yet to be able to, if you are wanting to group up with me, just friend me on PS.

(Please don't flood this thread with "OOHHH YOU SHOULDN'T POST THIS HERE!!!" I'm just trying to find people to play with.)

This guide is now fully up to date and, hopefully, finalized.

Guess who had a ton of free time on his hands and decided to compile a list of all the "major" crop combinations that require a grand total of zero nutrients to grow, meaning you only need to take care of tending and watering.

Note, the combinations listed here must exist within each individual soil tile for this to work; crops in one tile cannot feed crops in an adjacent tile.

But first, have a free table of farm plant stats as of the latest patch. (The wiki's page had not been properly updated when this was made, so I had to make my own table to figure things out.)

Now, on to the possible configurations of a self-feeding farm...

Type A: Three Different Crops in Equal Amounts (1:1:1 Ratio)

Note: Apparently, using the snapping till mod allows you to place the plants close enough that they all meet the family criteria, but I am not sure whether this is possible without that mod. Theoretically, it should be, but it would take some insane precision. Also, I replaced my original column design with the one proposed by @kuroite a few comments below.

This is by far the most common configuration. Unfortunately, it's also got a tiny imperfection: the 4 plants at the corner of this layout will always fail to meet the family requirement, meaning they will grow slower and will not become oversized. However, the imperfection does not scale with the size of the farm, so a 10x10 farm plot will produce a max of 900 plants, of which only 4 will be non-giant.

Combinations that can be done with this layout:

Type B: Two Crops in Equal Amounts

The minimalist of the bunch, contained entirely in a single tile, with 4 of each plant. I've arranged the plants in L shapes to ensure the family requirement is met. It goes without saying that you can copy-paste that same tile to make this farm as big or as small as you want.

Combinations that can be done with this layout:

Type C: Two Crops at a 2:1 Ratio

This one requires a 1x2 farm plot (and multiple of that, of course). The minority plants must be facing others of their kind to meet the family requirement and grow giant.

Combinations that can be done with this layout:

Type D: Three Crops at a 2:1:1 Ratio

This one is a tad more complicated than the previous three, but I figured it was worth adding just because of the amount of combinations it brings to the table.

Speaking of which, the combinations you can do with this layout:

All the above combinations in concise plain text, for those who want to Ctrl+F their way to them:

But what about all these other combinations?

I had considered throwing a bunch more layouts into this guide, but all it would have achieved is create a ton of bloat. The above 4 combinations will probably cover all your farming needs anyway. And if they do not, you can find most of the more complicated combinations (that will still give you giant crops) simply by partially replacing one crop with another that has the same stats.

For example, if you got 3 carrots in your setup, you can easily replace 1 or 2 of them with a Pumpkin, provided those are in season. And just like that you have a 3:3:2:1 combination. Which is a bad example, cause I don't think it's actually possible for that to give you all giant crops. :P

That's all, folks!

I've made a poll like this before:

and now with the new recipes and farming mechanics available i'd like to see if opinions around here have changed.

As always, answer freely and of your own will, and discuss in the comments!

Are an active player or do you need to content to keep yourself playing dst?

Hey everybody. I know many of you have been waiting for this so let’s get right to it.

NOTE: Please remember that the roadmap is provided to give the community a sense of what we are working on and what is driving our decisions and what we are focused on in the coming year. None of this is a promise or a guarantee. We always prioritize quality over deadlines and all dates and timelines are estimated to the best of our current ability. Many long-time fans will know that we often add new things to these plans which often shifts things around a bit, so it is recommended that you avoid scheduling your vacation plans around our dates.

This roadmap is subject to change at any time, but as we have done in the past, we will let you know if any of these plans change significantly. 

2020 Recap. 
As we began the year staring down the barrel of a global pandemic we set our sights on a roadmap that was more structured and potentially even more ambitious than years before. We set a goal of attempting to “have something being launched at least once a month”.  Despite moving the entire studio to work from home we managed to do that pretty much without missing a beat. 

We released four substantial content updates, two character refreshes(and Wes), a new character, we introduced two QOL updates to the schedule, and of course our holiday events. The QOL updates turned out to be a pretty big hit. They let the team smooth out some rough edges and work on some things that fall outside of the normal content schedule. These updates also allow the team to split tasks allowing some of the team to begin working on the next big update sooner allowing more time to be spent on them before release. 

Console support has been in relative lockstep with PC releases other than the odd hiccups here and there inherent to console certification.

All of this while also putting out some super cool shorts that just keep getting better and better in my opinion. 

We don’t like to brag, but we kind of nailed it. 2020 was definitely the strongest year for DST ever, and we’re looking forward to keeping that momentum going. 

That being said - We do think there are some things that need some more love, and we’re going to be incorporating these things in the upcoming content schedule. More on that later.

What’s coming?
We’re sticking with it. A great benefit to how well last year went is that now that we’ve got some experience with this doing things this way, we can really hit the ground running for 2021 and we have a much clearer schedule than we probably have ever had. So, what you are going to see now is probably the most information we have ever put out for a roadmap. 

This is the current plan for 2021. 

• Year of the Beefalo
• Three Character Refreshes
• Three Content Updates 
• One new DLC character
• One new summer event (Summer Solstice, like Winter’s Feast)
• Two QOL updates
• Holiday events

Once again we are aiming to have something interesting for you every month and we’ll also be doing more Streaming drops and Klei Rewards as well.  

Also
We’re taking additional steps to improve the quality of life for players throughout the regular updates as well. We have noticed some things that can be done to help a lot of players in different ways and we have a few changes we would like to try. From main menu changes to new world generation options, we’ve also been experimenting with ways to help new players to familiarize themselves with the game.

One of the newer things coming up we think many of you will be pretty interested in. We’ll get into more details at a later date, but for now, you can check out this work-in-progress image from the QOL update coming in March and speculate away.

(This uses some placeholder text and is all subject to change)

And finally…. 
This isn’t directly related to Don’t Starve Together, but we thought it would be a good time to mention that we are taking a look at the Original Don’t Starve ports. We’re collecting feedback and will be working with our porting partners to address lingering issues that have been hanging around on various platforms. 

One issue we find is a lot of players tend to accept these issues as “known”, and we don’t necessarily always know specifically what kind of issues need to be prioritized because they might not be getting represented in such a way that we fully see them. So if you have specific issues you are frustrated about and feel need to be resolved, now is a good idea to make sure we know about it. We’ll be making posts in the appropriate forums as we shift focus to each port.   

We will not likely ever get to a place where Don’t Starve and the DLC have zero bugs but we would like to get the Don’t Starve ports in a better place. This isn’t going to happen overnight as we need to organize and we can’t do everything all at once, but we thought it was worth mentioning that this is something we are working on. 

And that’s it!
Another roadmap down. I do have one last thing to share though. This is a work in progress image of something we have coming in a future update likely to hit beta in April.

How does it work ? If I purchase something, do they email me some code or something ? I have a Ps4 and tho that this might work like purchasing psn cards on some store. 

Since you can redeem codes through klei rewards page now.

Hey everyone, I hope your February is going well, and you're all staying healthy.

Back in 2018 we launched the Twitch Drops system and over the years many of you have participated in watching streams and earning items. Since then we've released two large collections, the Side Show Collection and the Crystalline Collection, as well as a handful of fun seasonal sets. Well over 2 million complete sets have been dropped to viewers! We hope you're enjoying the items and watching your favourite streamers.

Unfortunately the technology that the existing drop system works on is being decommissioned by Twitch, in favor of their newer system. Their new system has several features that will be useful for everyone, such as progress meters and current campaign information right in the Twitch interface.

Starting today the Don't Starve Together Twitch drops will be taking a bit of a hiatus. The existing system will be turning off while we upgrade and migrate to the new version, and possibly make a few changes while we're in there. We don't have a firm timeline of when they'll be returning, but if everything goes smoothly it will be just a few weeks. *crosses fingers*

As for the Crystalline Collection, we've put those up on the Klei Rewards page for everybody, and here are some Klei Points (link expired) to help get you on the way to completing your collections.

In the up coming weeks we're also going to be doing some experiments with running our Rhymes With Play dev streams on Twitch again. All of Klei is working remotely still, so doing a dev stream from our homes will certainly be interesting.

Stay tuned for more details!

Hi fellow survivors!

I've been a long time fan of the franchise and I felt like it's time that I give back something to the community. For the past two weeks, I've been practicing to hone my skills as a programmer so I thought I might as well program a tool that would be useful to my fellow survivors in the constant.

Do you find the new farming system too intimidating? Need a way to try it without risking your current survival world?

Well here it is: Don't Starve Together Farm Planner.

https://erocrizs.github.io/dst-farm-planner/

Features:
* Plant crops in 3x3 farm soils!
* Make plans for any and all of the four RoG seasons!
* It's a browser web app, so no need to download or install anything.
* If a planted crop is in season, has 3 or more nearby family, and is on a tile with a balanced self-fertilizing set of crops, then the crop will grow THICC AND GIANT!
* Use the Garden Rigamajig to plow tiles into farm soil, and pitchfork to flatten it back!
* Plant crops with seeds! You can filter seeds by season, nutrient absorption, and contribution to find the perfect seed you need!
* Use the Gardeneer Hat to check the status of the farm, and inspect specific tiles and crops! See what makes them happy, and find out how much you'll food and seeds you'll be reaping after a successful harvest!
* Save your farm plans and load it later when you need it! You can even export your farm plans into a files so you'll have a backup and you can share it with your
friends!

Tell me if you have questions, comments, and suggestions!

Recently I received the somber news in JazzyGames' community Discord server that Helicalpuma, one of the best and greatest DST content creators, has passed away a few days prior:

To those unaware, Helicalpuma's channel here:

https://www.youtube.com/user/helicalpuma

has several really good guides for its time and pretty impressive challenge runs. It's really worth checking out :)) 

As is already stated, this is a massive loss to our community, considering the quality of the content and the positive influence he has brought to us. So I make this thread so we may all celebrate his memory.

Personally, this loss was a great blow to me. Not only did I learn how to kite Dragonfly via his videos, he hails from the same country as I do. I remember vividly the sole time i managed to join a community world stream of his. He was very friendly and polite and really left a lasting impression on me.  

May you rest in peace.

Hey guys, I have an issue since I started playing like 2-3weeks ago that I get glitches while moving with keyboard. Game is fine for few minutes when I load it, as soon as I explore more areas and more things load I start getting weird screen glitches when using AWSD keyboard for moving. to fix that I need to use mouse to move for few seconds and then I can use keyboard again but after few minutes it starts glitching again. I tried to turn off all the mods, I thought its the Zoom+ problem mod but still... it happens and its getting annoying.

To the DST Community:

I am sure Helicalpuma is not an unknown name in the DST community -- he was perhaps most well-known as an early pioneer of several very popular strats, and his Maxwell playthrough helped thousands of DST beginners and seasoned players to improve their gameplay. Unfortunately, recently we received very sad news from Helicalpuma's family, that Helicalpuma had passed away by natural cause (medical).

As a member of Helicalpuma's twitch, youtube, and discord community, we are still in shock (and denial). The news hits very hard, it is devastating and despairing. At the same time, we are very blessed to have him around in the community, for all the beautiful memories we shared.

For Helicalpuma's contribution to the game and the community in general, we believe the community deserves to know of the news. And we are thinking, what we can do for him, to honour his legacy and contribution.

We are wondering, would Klei developers be interested in doing a small tribute or homage to remember Helicalpuma? It can be an Easter Egg, or a character quote, or a pig or bunny name, it can be anything, as far as their creativity goes and it is legally sound. Of course, this is only a suggestion and humble request.

Otherwise, feel free to share your memories and thoughts about Puma, or write a few words for him. It is really unfortunate, that since he was inactive on Twitch for quite some time, the vods got deleted and clips were the only ones left.

As of now, as part of Puma's Discord/community server/Twitch moderator-admin team, we are still trying to figure out what to do and how to proceed in midst of grieving.

Thank you very much for your time.

Best wishes,

Muffin Sandals, Meowswing, Anxious-Insomniac.

Hey everybody, 

As the Twitch drop hiatus is still ongoing, I thought I would come in and drop another round of 1700 points!
