Look, this game is great, but there's one issue I have: if you want to survive, you have to find the right base location. You have to explore. But in this game, exploration entails holding w for an hour straight. Not fun. For someone like me, who has never survived past the first winter (in singleplayer ds, in dst i cant survive a week.) it becomes very tiresome cause that's basically all you ever do. you usually die before you can finish building your base. Klei has some issues

Comical Deaths: From Here to There.
What is the most comical death you have witnessed or had happen to you?
For me personally? Well, there was one time me and two other people had gone on like a 6-7 day ruins trip. One of us died, and me and my friend made it out alive by the nick of our ball hair. As soon as we leave the caves my friend walks two feet and INSTANTLY gets struck by lightning dying on the spot. He only had like 2 health, but it was probably the funniest thing I've ever witnessed. Working that hard and barely surviving just for Zeus to smite you down.
But yes, what are your funny death stories?
Sincerely,
Cactus

Skins and migration
I've been a console player (PS4) for over a year now. While I love the game, my biggest gripe is that it's impossible to host a 500+ day server without lag. I'd like to play more on PC (well, Mac technically) but my hesitation is that I've already invested heavily in skins, including daily chests, twitch drops, and outright purchases. I'm going to assume that all of these skins just aren't transferable to another account type, correct? I'm 99.9% certain about this but I thought I'd ask.
What I'd really like to know is if Klei has any interest in resolving these long-lived world lag times. They've been known issues for years and it's disheartening to see that it's still a major problem. For this next console generation I went with a Series X. I'm also going to assume that transfers between Sony and MS aren't possible, either? I have no issues repurchasing the game and even starting up a new world but it's really the skins that I'd miss. Still, how much of a difference does a next gen console make with regards to this console version lag issue?

Provocation topic about WX-78 canon gender
As you know, many people pronouns our beloved WX-78 as "them", but is that right? WX-78 have many quotes where they pronouns machines as "sister/brother", but what about WX-78 itself? If we can consider old skins are canon and made for lore/character backstory/other facts, thanks to Guest of Honor skin - we can know the exact answer - It`s him. I mean, why would WX-78 drew mustache for? And yeah, I know about Maxwell "Greeting, Mx. WX-78".
Agree or disagree with me, and dont forget to share your thoughts

Character Commentary Appreciation [DST]
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^)

So Did They Remove Moldy Backpacks?
I was looking around and I found an old wiki that said if a backpack was left on the ground too long it would turn into a moldy one. I actually like the look of this skin and I want to know if there is a way to get it. I left a backpack on for quite some time in a world, well over 500 days probably and it didn't turn into a moldy one. So, did they remove them?

Warly appreciation & discussion
So I've been returning to DST after not playing for quite a while (a couple of years I think?). Tons of interesting changes and new characters.
Someone that caught my eye is Warly. I liked him right off the bat since Shipwrecked.
Unfortunately there is a bit of a "not worth the trouble"-type of character in terms of pure efficiency and the upside is the challenge rather than him being uniquely powerful in a way.
However this is quite different in DST. His downsides are still rather severe, as he is the character that tries his hardest to actually starve, but he comes with upsides that are definitely worth doing additional work for:
* His crockpot and pouch are nice addtions but a bit more of a necessity rather than a big payoff.
* Some of the additional recipees are really nice and very efficent or provide unique, powerful utility.
* Seasonings are insanely powerful, last for about half a day, are reasonably accessible/affordable.
Interestingly he also alters the typical playstile that you'd follow with some of the more versatile characters.
With some of the fighters you can pretty much go *ham* right off the *bat* and most of the characters can afford to explore for much longer than Warly. His downside(s) are so severe that you are almost forced to quickly work towards his upsides, by increasing food production both in terms of value and diversity. This makes Warly uniquely interesting.
Warly is quite obviously right up there with some of the best support characters such as Wickerbottom, Wormwood (living logs!) et al. However I would even say he surpasses them by a significant margin (in terms of supporting a group) if the required setup is met.
I think it is pretty much undebatable whether Warly is a great character to have in a group, which can mitigate his early game weakness with some coordination. But I think if we focus on solo play in this discussion, we get to find the most efficient lines of plays and weigh possible decisions and trade-offs with more consideration.
## Strategies
I think the optimal line of play in the early game is to explore the surface as much as possible, as with most non-combat focused characters, but you are more time constrained, since you cannot simply munch mushrooms, berries and the occasional cooked meat to sustain until most of the map is explored.
As for food, it is interesting to kind of branch out so early in the game and cook some of the otherwise underused dishes that are typically a bit less efficient on other characters. However, since meatballs are so cheap and easy to make, you're going to cook relatively often regardless even if triggering the debuff one or two times. It is the first meal to make for sure (before making a potato dish) to space it out as much as possible.
Typically a sufficent survival base has a crockpot, campfire, alchemy engine, birdcage, maybe a couple of berry bushes, drying racks, a freezer and some chests. This kind of setup goes a long way and can be extended with some protection against hazards along the seasons. But Warly wants to have more of a sophisticated base than most characters so he can cook a greater and more powerful variety of dishes and he wants or rather needs to start earlier with that than most.
Gladly farming has become more accessible and efficient now, so it isn't just a cherry on top anymore but an efficient way to produce foods regardless of having unique benefits through Warly. On top of that, the other, alternative ways of food production like bee boxes, fishing et al that people kind of did for fun now become actually powerful features.
With all that said, I think the tension or rather challenge a Warly player faces is *where to base*, moreso than most other characters. Exploration has to be efficient/fast enough to make a good decision relatively early on. Because all of these food production factors have to be weighed in much more with this character.
I think some of the best contenders for biomes are the following:
The Oasis Desert is an obvious choice. It is by default a good place to be for several reasons. For Warly specifically you get access to vegetables, which are key ingredients in several recipees. Volt Goats and Bone Shards are a nice bonus as well. The latter can be used to make a high hunger soup.
A Decidious Forest often has access to several mushrooms and ponds can be found there as well, while Pigmen can be hunted for meat.
A third location that one might consider is the Ruins entrance. Again you might find ponds but also lichen which are a veggetable. The issue there is that the food diversity is smaller in the ruins caves as far as I know, but maybe I haven't looked into it enough?
As for things you want to have nearby otherwise I think a Beefalo herd might come in handy. They are the most efficient meat source (requiring the least work per big meat) and with Warly you want to cook Meaty Stew regularly to fend off his high hunger and to make the recipee rotation easier for you.
Then, the Marshes come to mind as they are a quick source of fish, froglegs and often monster meat as well.
## Conclusion so far
I'm excited to play Warly more as he turns the game around significantly, while also being a powerful character if played right. Currently I'm in a solo run, trying out different things and getting into the new farming features as I think this is ultimately a key element for the character, while before it was just something you did just for the hell of it rather but didn't really had to.

Does anyone know if there are popular mods that actually causes lag and delay in DST?
I am not the biggest fan of mods, but some feel really neccessary. I heard that Minimap HUD causes a lot of RAM issues, which is a really popular mod. Do you guys know other popular mods that actually causes problems or fixes problems?

Previous/outdated intro
Hey everyone! My love for designing is thriving and I've been feeling inspired lately and really wanted a place to share some of the things I've been working on. I love making shrines and designs in worlds whether it's big or small, and adding cute little details to them as well. Most of what I do isn't practical and is purely for decoration.
I was originally posting screenshots of my base on this thread:
But I feel as though my style of basing has evolved into something that cannot be categorized as tidy and I wanted to start a different thread that was for bases/worlds more on the ornamental side like mine. Plus I feel far more comfortable and way less anxious being annoying and posting heaps on my own thread than I do spamming someone else's *nervous laugh* ^-^'
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Here's a few shrines I worked on last month:
Moon Stone Shrine
Don't think I'll ever be able to do the Moon Stone event ever again because I'll never be able to get a pig so perfectly back in that spot like that ahah, worth it.
Klaus Shrine/Arena
We found every Klaus spawner and plugged them with a firepit except this one, now he only ever spawns here and we fight him on the cobble stone bit to the right. This area doubles as a shrine and a fighting arena, I love it ^-^
Hi to my lovely Wes @Warlockadamm <3
Easter Bunny Shrine
....just noticed that the treeguard killed the bunny... and smashed the hay wall on the right as well ;( y u do dis
Mandrake Shrine
This may or may not end up being a Year of the Carrat Shrine... We'll see.

That's all I'm going to post for now but I'll probably be posting here quite often so yeh ^-^'
