Lately I've been playing DST and searching on forums and everyone seems to think Wigfrid is over-powered. 

She carries the ability to create "cheap" armour, however it really isn't cheap considering it takes a non-renewable source being gold, also rocks but with moon rocks you can technically say it's renewable.   (proven wrong later on the thread)

She has a 1.25x damage multiplier which to some is alot but to me is barely anything compared to Wolfgang's Mighty 2x. dmg!

She has lower sanity and hunger stats than wilson, which begs the question of why people think she is op? She has 50 more max HP than normally, however her lower sanity and hunger forces her to be on the prowl.

Am I the only one here who thinks Wigfrid is balanced? Her vampiric ability is gimmicky if you ask me and she can't eat all type of culinary foods, which is why I never pick her and instead decide to be Wolfgang. 

I guess some argue she's a better Wilson in a sense of the 1.25x dmg and is equipped for exploration but she doesn't really excel in battle compared to Wolfgang.

So, I was wondering if it's possible to pre-create a map before the game starts generating it randomly (Like a custom seed). I had this crazy idea because I want to make some kind of wasteland island, like the Mad Max biome

I also want to upload it to the Steam Workshop if possible, Thanks!

I have a problem with DST.
I want to play with a friend on his server and I'm going very badly, I can enter other dedicated public servers and play if problems, until a certain time, because later it happens that I slow to do things. When I play alone on my server I do not have any problems, but just as they enter mine they go too bad
Is there any way to fix this? I would really like to play well with my friends and not be battling, thank you very much and I would appreciate some advice or solution.

hi guys

i have some problems with ping. that means i always have lag even i play offline, even steam is on offline mod i still have a lot of lags. i haven't this problem in early access version of game.and besides this problem i have an illogical lag in online mod too, i mean when i see a game with 100 ping and i join, the lag looks like more than 100 which it may related to my offline lag. ill be very thankful if someone know why this happening and give me some help.

sry for bad english

and here a screen shot of game

Yet another post about lag. There should be a Lag Megathread, what do you think about it? I might update the post with the answer's comments if this is useful.

DST suffers a lot from lag, here I post many things I've learned regarding this issue, hoping to get some attention from the devs to address the issue. In my case, I can have 1-2 seconds of input lag, more often than not.

I'll mainly write about a dedicated server, with some non-dedicated comments.

There are two important factors to take into account regarding the server, bandwidth and machine power. Firstly, the server has to be powerful enough to serve a lot of information, specially if you use caves, since that's two servers. Secondly, the internet bandwidth of the server is crucial.

Specific comments to solutions/causes I've read:

* Port forwarding

DST uses UDP ports 10996-11000 by default. Forward those ports from the firewall/router _and_ the OS's firewall. Additionally, you can activate uPNP on the router so this forwarding is done automagically.

* Movement prediction

If movement prediction is on (default) the client guesses what's going on without awaiting confirmation from the server. Under lag conditions, this means you get hit when you where out of reach of the mob. If you switch it off, then you'll experience input lag, which means your character will take a moment to react to your movement and commands.

Deactivating movement prediction helps see how much lag you have. It also "helps" fighting mobs since you understand when you'll get hit and when not, and you can even account for the input lag (if it were constant, which it isnt).

* VPN

Connecting to the server through a VPN helped, although sometimes it doesn't make a difference. I was playing through a 4G router and that solved a dramatic lag issue(1-2 sec input lag). I've re-tried without it recently, and ran ok, while I had big lag again through VPN.

* Map and minimap mod

Some people point to the minimap mod as a cause of lag or to the host's explored area. This is true for non-dedicated servers. I've read clients lagged when the host opens the map, thus if you have the minimap mod, clients would lag all the time. Apparently the map is very demanding.

* More lag the more we've explored

Another source of lag is caused by the amount of stuff dropped all across the world, since, I guess, it's more information to process and serve by the server. There's a mod called "no more lag" which cleans the dropped stuff. It could be a good idea to activate it every once and then, but it may remove the things you dropped on the ground.

* Disconnecting and re-connecting helps

* Rebooting helps (sometimes)

* Turn on triple-buffering on the NVidia settings for DST

This a weird advice I read somewhere. It helped once, but may just have been coincidence, I couldn't reproduce.

My server config & specs
====================

BW 150Mbps/15Mbps. 32gb RAM, Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU E5-1650 v3 @ 3.50GHz.

For DST, I've opened the ports 10996:11018, allowed ping (which worked once, but not anymore, it now displays as ??? again). For steam I've opened ports 4380, 8766 and 27000:27030.

Mods:
--#Global Position --#Health Info --#Display food values --#digable reeds --#extra equip slots --#no more respawn penalty
--#large chest --#craftable gears --#combined status --#custom settings --#pause

About the clients
=============

We usually play 4 of us, two in germany and two in switzerland. 1 plays on linux, the rest on windows, all laptops. Mine: i7 with 16gb RAM & Nvidia Quadro K3100M. 1 of the german clients hardly ever experiences lag (althought the server is in switzerland). In my case, lag depends a lot on the day.

Final comments
============

I'm here for the devs!

I'll gladly provide any log, specs or whatever to help profile this. I've read there's a profiler in DST, is there a way to turn it on? I sometimes have a lot of lag, while some others don't.

These are all the suggestions I've read so far.

Let me know in the comments for things that are wrong or whatever I could throw in there. Also if you want more detailed explanations on something.

Hi guys,

So I found on the wiki that you can spawn in some wormholes but it doesn't seem to be working for me.

Is there a more in-depth guide to this?

The wiki states:

Quote

1.       Sadly no one line command, follow steps instead.
2.       Spawn wormhole 1 using this command: worm1 = c_spawn("wormhole")
3.       Spawn wormhole 2 using this command: worm2 = c_spawn("wormhole")
4.       Create connections forth: worm1.components.teleporter.targetTeleporter = worm2
5.       And back: worm2.components.teleporter.targetTeleporter = worm1
6.       DONE!

 

 

So what I do is type in "c_spawn("wormhole")" into the console for the first - then do the same for the second. Then I go to the first one and type in "worm1.components.teleporter.targetTeleporter = worm2" and then I go to the second one and type in "worm2.components.teleporter.targetTeleporter = worm1" but all I seem to get are two unusable wormholes.

Am I doing it wrong?

Hi guys.

Is there a way to spawn in suspicious dirt piles that are actually tracks that will lead to a hunt?

Winnie, The Shepherdess

*Can craft a bonnet and staff, or train a dog.

*Refuses to hurt innocent animals, choosing to tame and herd them.

*Has a sister, Wigfrid

Detailed explanation:

*When she hits an INNOCENT animal, she will lose Health and Sanity, equal to what Wigfrid would have gained. (Includes Charged Volt Goats, Bees in Spring & Beefalo in Heat)

*Her tamed beefalo will never lose loyalty to her (unless hit, or yknow... they starve.)

*Her herds of animals will reproduce so that there is always 5 there. 1 baby per 3 days. So if there's two, 9 days later there's 5. If there's one he/she doesn't reproduce.

*When she sees an animal get hurt, she will shout at the person hurting them (it holds her in place while it happens. Can be rather inconvenient.)

*She will only eat Vegetables and Fruit. Eggs, Butter, Milk & Butterfly Wings (they're counted as fruit or veg, iirc. Stupid tbh.)

*Her staff makes the nearest herd of animals (when equipped) follow her, until it is unequipped. Then they make a new herd point there. Lasts 3 days

*If she trains a dog to have the Shepherd tendency, it will add a right click option to all herd animals. "Chase" - Using it commands the dog to herd them, basically adding the staff mechanics to the dog until he is called back. (to make it work visually, he joins the herd and walks with them, until recalled)

*Loses sanity at the rate of an inverse garland aura when near Wigfrid.

*Crops grow 10% faster when Winnie is within a screen of them. Within 2 they will grow in Winter at 75% the normal rate. Making 82.5% the normal rate when she's 1 screen away in Winter.

*Has her own crockpot foods:

Salad - 1x Large Veg, 1x Fruit or Veg, 2x Filler - Filler can be Morsels/Fish Morsels/Monster Morsels (if ever added) so that it's easier to keep her fed - Salad stats are the same as meatballs.

Carrot Stew - 2x Large Veg, 2x Carrots - Equal to a Meaty Stew, but probably harder to obtain.

For all other Crockpot dishes that she can eat, she gets +10% of their stats, because the Veggie ones suck.

Large Veg: Aubergine, Pumpkin.

When using morsels, her recipes have the highest possible priority, so she doesn't get a meat dish.

Honestly, there's not much point if you're going to need to buy skins to trade them in typically. You're required nine skins, all of which must be of the same rarity, you can't substitute jack all and as a result, wiyhout buying skins, the minimum amount of time reuired for you to trade inn ONCE without skin purchases would be more than two weeks.

Again, granted all of those skins are of the same rarity.

What's even the point of this thing if it's just gonna be a lottery that typically will be worse off than buying the actual thing? This seems like the sort of thing you would have with arcade claw machines, where you have a low chance of getting that stuffed toy you want for real cheap, but modt of the time you'll just be wasting your money and might as well buy the stuffed toy at a toy shop guaranteed.

If the Trade Inn is to become somrthing we use even marginally more often, something to consider over the market itself and present itself as a niche game mechanic for skins, it just ought to require less. I mean, the chances of getting skins via drops normally that are of a higher rarity are about two or so times rarer than the more common type of skin (one below), right? And the market agrees, honestly; the skins of higher rarity are about x2 or x3 more expensive than the rarity before on average, unless it's some new and/or very desired item.

All that said, why not require 4 instead of 9 skins to make one trade inn? 4 for one of higher rarity seems a lot more fair than 9 to 1 and might actually push people to try their chances more often.

There's a lot of things I've avoided making topics about and I've just been observing for the past few months, but this is something everyone here to my knowledge can agree on prrtty much; trade inn, overall sucks for what it serves in comparison to what you give it and other methods of obtaining skins you want are much better as a result.

I've some more off-topic stuff I'd like to say, although I think it's best to bring it up if really necessary. Knowing this forum, little to nothing said or complained about is going to bring any thought about drastic change.

The only games that I don't experience lag in is the official Klei ones although I've only been to open worlds (no passwords).

Was looking into Citadel Servers, 6 slots, dedicated IP.    Had a few questions:

1.   Can games be saved?

2.   Can you run two games of slots each?

3.  Per Citadel I have to rent two servers, one for above, one for below ground caves.

Appreciate any comments or tips, thanks!

Until next time...

EDIT: A pretty nice catch by @Quoth143 or itstheblob rather...anyways...this is just more evidence that Charlie might be the one sitting on the throne now.

If you like Cyclum memes head on over to the meme thread, I personally approve of memes being posted here because we have a full day between updates, but folks requested it:

Hey guys so the girlfriend and I have been playing together for just over 250 days now and have fully explored the topside world and most of the caves. We don't use mods and don't use console commands, but have not been able to find the wooden thing or the other "things" in the top world to world hop. I feel stupid I can't find this anywhere on the forum or reddit/google, but is the portal to world hop enabled in DST?  Just wondering because we haven't come across any of these yet and the map is fully explored.

Thanks!

Here's just a little thread for anyone who wants to post anything about whoever and how you think they act!

...

That was a bit confusing. Basically, here you can just post things about how you'd sum-up character's personalities, or say how they'd react in certain situations. This can be as detailed or as bare-bones as you like- it can be about one character or many! Who cares?! Have fun!

We are aware of an ongoing problem with Don't Starve Together players in Ukraine not being able to connect to our servers. We are looking into this currently, however, we will need more information from users affected in order to be able to debug this issue.

If you have any information that you think may be able to help us investigate this issue, please respond to this thread and we will look into it. 

Hey, one mini glacier is inside my base and I'm pretty sure it hasn't always been there. It never disappears, even during harshest summers. Is this a bug/intended/going to be fixed?

Cheers.

Do you play Don't Starve Together with mods enabled? If so, then join us live this Thursday, February 2nd, 2017 at 3:30 PM PST where we will be playing Don't Starve Together with a couple of community-created mods, only on the Rhymes with Play Dev Cast on Twitch.

(I do not know if this topic is a suggestion or discussion)
In the RoG single player Dragonfly is considered the most difficult bass, and it makes people prepare very well before killing it, the problem is in the DST it has lost this essence of difficulty, simply with 3 players surrounded with a stone wall With a spear and a helmet, another flute (when he gets angry), kills very easy, other than to give to make scales, beating him to drop a scale, to move away, to hope to recover the life, minutes later to make more.

Besides the lava pups being considered "useless" at the time of the fight, since most of the people surround themselves in walls, to make them to jump the wall would bring more difficulty.
And to prepare well to kill more easily, in the first fight the goal would only be to drop a scale, to make an armor of scales to protect itself from fire (lava pups).

I miss the essence of difficulty and are always prepared for situations in DST.

So here you go for your viewing pleasure, the power of Togetherness. 

We the players on Strictly Unprofessional public server decided to band together and perform a little dance for you all in honor of the year of the gobbler.  See even in public servers people can work Together and accomplish amazing things!  Thanks to all who helped make this possible and thanks to all who participated in the dance.  Strictly Unprofessional represent!  But I can't help but point out that.....

WE ARE MORE DON'T STARVE TOGETHER THAN YOU! XD *mic drop*
