I have all the conversation with a griefer, It was a lot of time and work what other players invested there, it is not enough to put griefer spawn protection, players want to feel safe when playing and know that every time we enter the server, we will find reliable players and our bases equal or better , I have proof of what this player did and I hope he will be sanctioned, obviously in steam he will not be sanctioned, I just wanted to scare him but it did not work, I would like there to be a blacklist of players, which being there you can not enter the server of other players, maybe I'm exaggerating but this really bothers me because it's not the first time it happens, thanks for reading the post and below are the screenshots of everything.

Here is the steam profile of the griefer https://steamcommunity.com/profiles/76561198359818518/

What was the thing that either really got you into DS(T), got you good at it, or both?

For me, I play on PS4, and I can only play online on weekends since I don't have PS+ at my household on weekdays. At the time I only had DST there, meaning that I had to deal with the higher health enemies solo. I honestly couldn't get past my first winter or spring, because I was horrible at fighting.

To fix this, I sort of just made a world, got a spear, found some clockwork knights, and kited them. I wasn't even bad at it at first, I guess I just had never had the willpower to really try it well. I practiced on all kinds of mobs, got the kite patterns memorized, and now I can kite pretty much anything kiteable. I continued to make it to the point in the game where time is practically irrelevant.

Another thing I think that really drove me to become better at the game was that I really wanted to get my friends into it, but we always struggled through the first winter and lost interest quick. Now I really got them into it so we can share this crippling DST addiction, and today (a weekend day) me and my friends finally killed dragonfly for the first time!

In the game we can build different decorative elements: statues, decorated walls, carpets, mushroom lamps ... beautiful things that make survival much more elegant.
But I want to be able to pray to the metaphysical deities of the Constant, the creeping horror that emerged from the underground gate, the all-knowing eye of Them.
Please Klei, insert obelisks and sacrificial altars, sacred embers and urns to keep the ashes of the sacrifices. Only by ingratiating oneself with the outer Gods can one hope to survive in the lands of the Constant...

you know i want to actualy hear if peopel have ideas for a new character because of klei say a new character comes this year so i want to see if some of you came up whit original ideas and i got some too

you know klei says its a "dlc" character and all of them are none humans but i alsol got thinkin that wolfgang is all attack and wigfrid has attack and defense so i was thinkin about a full defense character and came up whit the idea of a knight because they wear like heavy armor but then think again about the none human part that got me the idea that knights hunt dragons and do make it funny have the none human character be a lizard knight and i got alredy looks stats and perk ideas too

wonder what your ideas will be

I'm nearing 600 hours of this game. I play with my friends exclusively. Most of the times I played Wickerbottom, I recognise she was overpowered when I started playing, which was before refreshes started to happen, but I liked that everyone had a role. Recently I've been playing with Warly and Wurt a lot, and I always had something that I can either do faster, or better. My impression on all the new characters and refreshes is that now everyone can do something better or faster.

I now decided to try out Walter. After about 40 days (granted, not much), I'm not impressed with him. He can collect more stuff when he ventures out (although he does need more food because of his low hunger for it), and he can get from point A to point B faster, but that's about all the upsides I found about him. I was hyped about using his slingshot, with or without Woby, but it's underwhelming even with Marble rounds. He is shooting so slowly I feel like it would just be better to use a hambat. Freezing rounds and slowdown rounds sound good, but not super useful in my opinion. I haven't used cursed rounds yet, but that doesn't sound too good either. I expected similar or better DPS if I invest in expensive ammo, but at this point I'd rather mass produce blowdart with any other character and play a better Walter that way. He doesn't even have sleep rounds to be useful against dragonfly.

Can he actually do anything way better than a Wilson can?

Hey everyone and Klei devs

I have low end pc and lot of my friends too. When I add caves even if I didnt get there yet we have performance issues.

I have an idea for caves

I suggest an option to prevent caves and surface work at the same time. If someone needs to get in the cave everyone should go at the same time.

When we comeback to surface it calculates the time we spent at caves and compare to that time the loading screen will apply the surface while we load the surface (Sorry for lack of grammar)

I know it has disadvantages but it could help to increase the performance

Thanks

I guess this requirements is ok if you like to play with low fps, being disconnected every time you enter the cave, like to see the "out of memory" popup

 or maybe... have have trouble with moving head icon? 

that was me until 2 years ago (minus the moving head because that wasn't a thing back then) 

I have played both DS and DST from the start. Back then, I was a kid and I play this game by using my now 10 years old laptop (Which is still meets the minimum system requirement of the game)

and here is my experience with the game using an low-end pc:

Don't Starve, Rog works fine, Forest fires may low the frame rate alot (some time the game may freezes)

same with SW but the game is alway have low frame rate when you travel by boat (especially during Hurricane and Monsoon season or when you go near the volcano)

Hamlet.... works somewhat ok during the beta, you will see the "out of memory" a lot but at least you still able to create a world.

After the beta, goodluck with create a world, you can't pass the loading screen because the game will runs out of memory during the world generation

----

DST: well, the game run fine during the first few days before the frame rate slowly drop from 60 to 30 max, run into the forest may speed up the process

if you survive to till winter, the frame drop during winter will kill you 

Back then, I have to use a mod that remove the snow, rain to able to play.

Entering a cave is a guarantee disconnected from the server (joining back will spawn you in the cave so it's still playble? :v )


Keep in mind that I was joining other server at the time, I can host one but if I enable cave, it will run out of my pc memory like with Hamlet
And this was 2 years ago, before the RoT, Character rework, yet the system requirements is still the same 
 

What is the issue with the Beefalos in spring? Sometimes they like you despite the heat, sometimes they will attack you and won't take any food. Rollbacks and relogins seems to influence it, and Beefalo acts like the whole taming process was reset. It's face doesn't change, but the riding timer is low.

I'm trying to recover a save that I've left and turned off my computer at the same time. I still have the file but I cannot see it in the save select nor I can move it to another cluster as the same thing happens of it not appearing on the save select. If anyone knows a fix, please let me know!

How Would i be able to start a hound attack using a console command in dst. Thank you for reading.

THE EASIEST WAY TO TAME A PERFECT BEEFALO

Start by bonding with, feeding, and saddling a beefalo. Use a brush on your beefalo each day, feed it around 10 grass/twigs/anything throughout the day, and ride it all day. You should be set in around a season. Oh, and fight things with your beefalo unless you don't want a war beefalo.

FEEDING YOUR BEEFALO

During taming, a beefalo needs 11 carrots/juicy berries/bananas, 12 twigs/berries, 13 grass, OR 15 petals/foliage throughout each day (so the hunger provided does make a small difference, but it’s almost negligible). Remember that you can pick all of these while on your beefalo. Brushing the beefalo is equivalent to feeding it 4 things. Don’t stress about specific quantities per day, though. Just feed it now and then, especially if it’s not letting you on or if it shakes off it’s saddle.

RIDING YOUR BEEFALO

During taming, it is vital to be riding your beefalo whenever possible. It is a good opportunity to feed your beefalo when you need to get off and do something. Worst case scenario, the taming process takes a bit longer.

BUCK TIMER

I’ve heard people complain about their beefalo bucking them off so I thought I should mention this. When you start taming a beefalo, it will buck you off in a measly 15 seconds. But, this is reset if you dismount and remount your beefalo, and it increases significantly during the domestication process and once fully tamed. The point is, please dismount and remount your beefalo before combat, especially during early stages of taming, to avoid any unfortunate predicaments.

SALT LICKS

Parking your beefalo near a salt lick pauses domestication, and uses up the salt lick over time. This is a slight upgrade to leaving it somewhere else, unridden and unfed. I don’t recommend using them during taming if possible. Use them on a fully tamed beefalo when you need to leave it somewhere for an extended period of time, I’d say over a day. This is because of the way domestication loss gets worse the longer it’s left uncared for. For reference, it takes just 2 minutes of riding to make up for a day of domestication loss, a full day to make up for 2 days of loss, 4 days to recover 4 days of loss, but from there it gets really crazy.

Beefalo also don’t lose domestication while sleeping. But I’ve heard the trick of unloading them while sleeping no longer works.

BEEFALO BELL

There’s no reason not to bond with your beefalo as most all the bugs have been fixed. It will only prevent your beefalo from going into heat so make sure to bond with it BEFORE it gets horny. It’ll follow you (if you have the bell) everywhere when bonded. Make sure to drop the bell when leaving it somewhere and then make sure to pick it back up if you don’t want to be abandoned later. 

SADDLES

Glossamer and War saddles are very expensive but worth it. These are great uses for a construction amulet. You can easily swap saddles before and after you fight, too. And on the topic of steel wool, the ewecus can not spit on players that are on a beefalo!

TENDENCY

Ornery is often considered the best tendency as infinite weapon and armor is a main reason to tame a beefalo, and it’s only a bit slower than Rider. The only downside is that you must feed it an item before it lets you on. You can get this by fighting during the taming process.

The Rider tendency is almost 15% faster and doesn’t require that maintenance. It’s base damage is only 25 but you can still fight with it when necessary. You can get this by not fighting during taming.

It comes down to playstyle and character choice, and you can even fairly easily keep multiple beefalos if you’re willing to supply the salt lick cost.

CLOSING NOTES

I made this guide because the few others seemed outdated, misleading, and/or overcomplicated, there are many misconceptions floating around, and I had some tips and calculations I wanted to share. I left a lot out and chose not to explain most of the exact stats themselves.

Hello Everyone!

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?

Yo guys!

I have slight stuttering, and fps drops in game.
Especially while taking item from inventory, putting it into inventory, and eating something in a row. And also rotating camera.
But stuttering is random. It is really, really annoying. It is dropping from smooth 60 to 58-59 FPS and it has stutter. But while eating or changing inventory it's going to 45-55 FPS...
I have this specs:
i5-10300H
GTX1650Ti
16GB RAM

So my mod list (I've tried to disable, but it has minimal impact):
Client:
- Boss Indicators
- Combined Status
- Craft Pot
- Geometric Placement
- The Verdant HUD Mod
- Wormhole Icons [Fixed]

And Server (I am host):
- [API] Gem Core
- Automatic Health Adjust
- Better Boomerang
- Better Ice Flingomatic
- Display food values
- Extra Equip Slots
- Finder Mod
- Global Pause
- Global Positions
- Health Info
- No Thermal Stone Durability
- Your skeleton respawn

Things i've tried so far:
Setting DST to run on iGPU (But that was even worse)
Setting in Nvidia Control Panel Vsync off and tripple buffering on (also power plan to maximum performance)
Steam Game Launch Options: -threaded_render -high
It is doing that bad in fulscreen and windowed mode

Do you have any ideas guys?
If i did this in wrong topic, please move this thread...

Honestly I don't play on public servers very often, so I can't really say that I've had anything to strange happen to me.  

Instead of roll back which is basically time travel.

Vs base burner:
Add repair option for burnt structure. Instead of having to hammer them all, you should be able to repair burnt structure if you have the raw materials of the 1/2 resource and have learnt to build and can build the structure. Wearing construction amulet will repair them with 10% amulet durability.

Vs unrenewable destroyer/hider:
Make them all renewable, via rare way, example, planting a seed have 1% chance for them to grow grass or sapling or berries. This would be much more fun. The only way to obtain seed now is via bird drop naturally, and you cant mass farm seed anymore, so this should be a good way to renewable grass/sapling.
Anenemy, bull kelp stalk, sea sprout starter should have a rare chance of dropping when you open ocean treasure chest. Reed should regrow like how light bulb regrow.

What I ask for is to make griefing act make less impact on the game, which make griefing less fun for griefers. Have you ever ask why none of the griefers target your pinecones chest with 360 pine cones?

 

I have this long term world and me and my bro and uncle finally got all three of the altars. We put all three in moon craters, and only the first two attached together. The last seemed too far away from the others, and we didn't get the energy. Is there a way to remove altars and relocate them, to have them closer together? Or is not implemented yet?

A while ago there was a thread discussing a potential animated series: 

It ultimately ended on a stalemate of "We should not force Klei to spend more time on this than the rest of their projects". Since then they have made the decision to no longer be an indie company in order to not worry about finances as much and to maintain the quality of life of their employees. Hopefully this means that they will be able to work on projects much more freely and efficiently. 

It's not clear what a potential series would look like, but Klei has said that they have a couple of ideas up their sleeve. I completely trust that they will be able to create something fantastic and worthwhile no matter what they decide on. If Klei are up to the request and most importantly: if working on an animated series is still in interest to them, there is nothing stopping us from reaching out to a big streaming company and potentially achieving the beginning of a DS animated series.

What was the thing that either really got you into DS(T), got you good at it, or both?
