So someone asked this yesterday i researched and answered but since im in literally everyones ignore list without makng a thread this wont help anyone 

1. Reseting cookbook

first you have to open the game file 

This PC>Documents>Klei

then there is 2 options DoNotStarveTogether and DoNotStarveTogetherReturnOfThemBeta

im going to use beta 

open the file with some numbers (different with everyone) and open the client_save

there is 2 files with cookbook name open cookbook_prod and delete the other one (thats how i got it idk)

when you open the other file with notepad or some other editing program you delete everything inside and replace it with

this and when its done it should be fixed

2. Reseting plant registry

since i opened every plant with cheats i wanted to reset it thats why its here

first part is same with the reseting cookbook 

get to the client_save

there is again 2 files 

plantregistry and plantregistry_prod

open plantregistry file and replace everything in with

then save it and open the other file 

and replace everything inside in plantregistry_prod file with

then it should be done save it 

3. Reseting morgue 

this is easy open client_save file again 

there is staright up a morgue file 

delete it and its done 

Ps: if game crashes right after opening just delete all the files you changed and open the game it should work then try again doing it

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

I've been thinking of what Wilson would look like with straight hair, and any of the others with crazy hair.

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!

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^)

With all the tierlist threads coming out and my old silly tierlists thread archived I feel sad seeing that none of them are there to make any sort of fun. so let's lighten up things, shall we?

Let's start with something light:

Hereafter I shall make a tierlist every two weeks at most to the best of my ability.

If you have any suggestions, comments or violent reactions feel free to msg me  

What is your crockpot recipes suggestions that could fit in the game? Share with us!

Here is mine, few Turkish food that could fit game very well.

Menemen:
A food that made by roasted onions with tomatoes and eggs. It's healthy but not much filler. Great way to using tomatoes.
++  

Karnıyarık:
A food that made by roasted eggplants with filled meat and garlic. It's could be a non-vegan alternative Stuffed Eggplant for Wigfrid. It's not that healthy but pretty filler.
++  

Mücver:
A food that made by potato, pepper, onion and sometimes carrot too. It's really filler and usually really liked by vegans. I like to eat it on breakfasts which fill me for all day. Could be a great alternative for Meatball.
+++  

DST have a big community with people from everywhere, so I'm sure we are gonna get a huge recipe list!

Easy question. Or maybe not that easy.

Typing all of this in one go, please ignore any gramatic errors or low in depth explanations near the end, ill go more in depth when responding to comments.

Also this tier list is assuming the player is amazing at the game, making near 0 errors and having proper pathing and efficient gameplay.

Introduction: 

There are 2 things you do in this game, Surviving (food, resource gathering, temprature, hounds, darkness, etc) and Thriving (building, fighting bosses, automated farms, etc)
There is also 2 essencial things one must manadge, that being resouces (food, materials to craft / build, weapons/armor, healing, etc) and time.

The more a character can do with less resources and less time the better. For example, weather to kite a boss or not depends on the resources you will be wasting and the time you will spend. Kiting deerclops makes the fight much longer making you insane and having to waste extra time dealing with shadow creatuers, while tanking it might cost you a football or 2 but you save on time and sanity

This tier list will rank characters on their ability to Survive/Thrive and resources/time saving capabilities.

Inside a tier the character on the left will be arguably better than the character on the right. If a character is arguably worst than all the characters on a tier he demotes down, for example in my opinion Wulfgang i better than wendy but one could argue she is better than Wulf so they stay on the same tier Wulf to the left Wendy to the right. In my opinion Wickerbottom is strong but lacks in time saving stratagies that both Wulf and Wendy thrive thoes making her worst then both of them, demoting her to A tier, so on and so foward.

S Tier:

Wulfgang - Arguably the best character in the game, Wulfgang is able to save half the time and fighting resources compared to a normal character, is 25 movespeed bonus also allows him to colect resources faster and is easy to mantain both early mid and expecialy late game. Is sanity drain is often an advantage making him go insane faster when he wants and being easy to manadge in order to avoid insanity. Not having real downsides makes Wulfgang able to aply any stratagie you want in the game with above average results ( Some Characters do Scienceless Ruins rushes better, WX and Woormwood do Science Rushes better, Wendy can solo Bee queen easier and Woodie is the best at rushing lunar island). Overall, unless your rushing a specific stratagie that other character does better than Wulfgang (even than one could argue Wulfgang catches up in progress has the game goes on) Wulfgang is the best choice only falling of a bit late game due to not having a character specific autumated farm metod ( Wendy has abigail, Wicker has tentacles, winona has catapults, willos has bernie etc).

Wendy - Second best character (arguably first) in the game, Wendy (or should i say Abigail) is able to massfarm mobs making abigail a farming machine, rushin bee queen (having the best bosses drops earlie in the game) and having an above average dps vs other bosses makes her incredible. Not having to worrie about fights due to abigails protection is amazing making Wendy only taking damage when adressing a boss. From spiders to shadow splumonkeys, Wendy will have a bunch of resources essential for free laking only on 2 departments, ruins rushes and kiting bosses both easy to solve. She has no real downside just like Wulf.

A Tier:

Wickerbottom - Wickerbottom shares the bee queen rush spot with Wendy altough wasting a bit of time and resources when compared. However, her science up allows her to do scienceless ruins with science !  She can create a bunch of farms with her tentacles loosing only to Wendy on the departments, has she can even mass farm essencial resources such has grass twigs etc... The bird book and sleepy time stories also allow her to spawn food from the air and even farm for krampus sacks while doing it. Just like Wulf and Wendy she dosent have a real downside only demoting to the top of A tier due to not being able to match both Wendy and Wulf Resources and Time Savings.

Wortox - Wortox is imortal for free. When it comes to saving resources hes arguably the best due to being able to eat, heal and kite with his souls. His teleportation also allows him to travel the fastes out of any character and even dought he dosent have a damage multplier hes dps is one of the highest due to being able to dodge on the spot. Souls are easy to come by and has longs has Wortox has souls hes top tier (Arguably better than Wicker) losing only to the S tier gods.

Wigfrid -  Wigfrid has amazing sustain and starts the game ready to fight making her one of the best characters to sciencless ruins rush with. Her fighting abilities are one of the best due to her abilities and songs insentivating her to tank bosses and dishout great dps losing only to Wulf the fighting god and Wendy the tanking god. When kiting however Wortox catches up to her and is sustains is better does making him better.

Maxwell - Maxwell is the best at resource gathering and sciencless ruin rushes. Hes shadow duelist also allow him to have above average dps on certain boss fights. Is low hp is only problematic when forced to tank certains attacks (dragonfly first hits for example) making him always have to kite bosses or risking wasting a lot of resources (witch he his the best at gathering so take it with a grain of salt  ). Hes main downside other than the low hp is the constant sanity gain witch makes it harder for him to go insane and farm nightmare fuel to make is pupets. When playing solo hes mass resource gathering isent has valuable making him arguably outmatched by the previus A tiers.

Woodie - Woodie has a bunch of perks and hidden talents for exaple were moose can farm mobs a bit faster than abigail or werebeever can colect resources to a speed near Maxwell making a good all aroud character. What makes him A tier is the ability to rush Lunar island and start the game with a bunch of lunar stuff. Also were goose is great at exploring the map. Is downside of losing hunger and sanity when tranforming back is a bit annoying to say the least forcing woodie to prepare everytime he eants to use his powers or every full moon. Weremoose is too week to solo bosses with forcing woodie to dook it out in human form making moose a simple lackluster mob farm. Being a jack of all trades makes him B tier at least but Woodie isent just a jack of all trades, hes the master of lunar island rushing bumping him up from top of B to Bottom of A :D.

B - Tier:

Warly - Warly is great, he can rush the ruins with the light dish, he can come closer do Wulfgang Dps (and even surpass him while raining) with voltgoar jelly + pepper spice, hes healing and sanity gains are both taken care by jellybeans and forget me lotus and food isent a issue when using a pig farm with meat stews.  Whats holding back the character is the time and resources needed to farm and lack of a dicent ability to manipulate his sanity. Late game he becomes great but at a cost of a bunch of time and resources sunken making him top of B tier.

Wormhood - Similar to Warly, Wormhood is great at ruins rushing due to having built in living logs and the easy to mantain speed boost is great for travel and increased dps while fighting bosses. Is healing can be taken cared of with jellybeans and compostures but he dosent bring much else to the table.

WX-78 - WX is by far my favorite character, he dosent have a real downside and his stat buffs that he gets from eating gear are amazing. Gear become one of the most overpowered food souces provading everything he needs without spoiling and can be somewhat farmable whit ruins reset. Hes by far the best Science Ruins Rushes not having to bring food due to the amount of gears down there, all of this makes him B tier aloane. What makes WX my favorite and what should bumpe him to A tier if it were more acecible is his overcharge mechanic. Packing the best move speed buff in the game 1.5x and imunity to freeze has well has providing a lightsource makes him amazing at travel and Dpsing bosses. However when played solo you only have 3 ways to get this boosts, 1 in spring when mosslings spawn, 2 using a telelocator or 3 praying a random lightning stoarm starts and a lightning hits you. If this ability were more acessible Wx would be bumped to Low A tier for sure. Not having easy access to it makes it argueably a little worse than wormhood.

Walter - Walter is the one character i have an issue placing due to his gameplay being different from the rest. Is imunity to sanity drain is amazing but losing it all of a sudden when taking hits or not being full hp is a harsh drowback. Is sling shot is lackluster making only work when time and resources a sunken into the gather of marble and his cheese stratagies are arguably worst than regular cheese stratagies such has fire farms. The only reaon im puting him at B tier is the combination of a beefalo and chester that he brings making his exploration good, his ruins rushes decent and slingsshot kiting stratagies doable.

C Tier :

Winona - Winona is basicly a Wilson that can make expensive boss/mob farm late game, dosent thrive in anything nor does it have amazing survivability in fact her hunger building system is rather annoying. I tend to only use her when swaping to her to make catapults. On a solo run she just focus on basic gameplay while gathering resources to surround bosses and making mob farms. Catapults are great however and if they were more cheeper she would be much higher in this tier list.

Willow - Willow is alright, dosent have a real downside haswell and her imunity and sanity gain from fire is great. Bernie is the best part of her kit providing a budget abigail do draw agro from mobs and bosses allowing willow to get free hits. Besides that she dosent do anything amazing, just a Wilson base character with some neat stratagies.

Webber - Webber only upside is the ability to mass produce spiders wheter to farm food or use them to fight bosses. Spiders are by fair the worst buddy you could have and food is by far the easies resource to gather does making her rather redundent. For sure better than good old Wilson and even Wurt.

D Tier:

Wurt - I like Wurt, she has some crazy nich uses like having temperature and sanity manipulation with fishes and meat, having a bunch of free roads with march turf and being able to produce the best army in the game, However her downsides are harsh. The time and resources it takes to mass preduce merms is a lot making her being able to reach her objectives aloane istead of wasting time merm farming. Her vegetarian downside is not that big since she can use her sanity perks and a few vegan only dishes to mantain her sanity and jellybeans take care of most of her healing being complemented with some vegan foods haswell, the real problem is hunger forcing her to rely on farms, kelp and berry bushes. What holds her back the most is the inability to trade with pig king making gold a scare resource late game. The reason she shares a spot with wilson is basicly because wilson is overall better than her, Wurt can outclass him with merms but wilson can use pigs so it comes back to a tie/her being a little better.

Wilson- Good old Wilson here is alright. Easiest character to make a meat effadgy, no downsides, beard helps in winter and spring. Thats all

E Tier:

Wes - Even with his rework, Wes still sucks, and hes meant to suck. Istead of listing is endless downsides ill list what hes good for, 25% Movespeed out of the gate, Easy nightmare fuel farming/ Sanity storing with ballons, Ballon spaming across a whole year can perhaps one shot a boss if hit by all those ballons since theres no limit now, Thelucite Club has 25% more durability making it the best weapon for him due to the increased chance of spawning tentacles, annnnd thats all. Due to his dwonsides hes stilll by far the worst character in the game

And thats all folks, please write down in the comments your toughts on the tier list, any crazy stratagies / hidden perks a character might have that might bump him up a spot or two and feel free to educate me in anything you think it my help the improvement of this tier list.

Thank you all for reading !

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.

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...

Everything unique to summer exists just to be a huge pain in the ass. It can cause irreparable damage to a world outside of your control.

Sinkholes are just ******* annoying.

Random burning of structures, even off of your screen outside of your sight, is just ******* annoying.

There's almost nothing fun or rewarding about it. The most you get out of it is a lazy deserter, which is pointless for solo players anyway.

In contrast, winter provides so much extra content, all while not being incredibly oppressive for no reason.'

Things can be hard without being miserable. Summer is just miserable. Most people don't have enough flingos to cover their bases, and the time to constantly run around and refuel the ones that cover your mega-base-in-progress. And it wouldn't be so bad if there was at least a big pay off, but summer is just useless for the most part. You can go to the caves sure, but you shouldn't have to avoid your own base... wtf kind of design is that... (also some people don't play with caves)

/rant because some of my non renewable resources just burnt off screen and I didn't notice... #****summer #fixsummer

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

For some time now, I reckon at least 5-6 months, I've seen something bothersome in general server populace and, more pressing, in relation to friends' personal servers that in past not only were showing the actual ping of said servers, but were good pings, around 60-100 with people from my country (Romania) and ~neighboring countries (Hungary, Turkey, Greece, Poland, Germany, France): now almost all my friends' personal servers show "???" even though, in-game, actual ping still is ~60-100 pings, same with some frequented dedicated pubs. Problem is "???" servers get almost no traction aka no one playing on them, and that's my dilemma (and, by extension, my friends' issue): we get no more people aside original group of 2-3 friends.

We all haven't done any modifications on our PCs, no new modems, new Windows installations/updates, new Internet Security System/AntiVirus, VPNs and so on. At some point the "???" ping just appeared. This happens for both vanilla and modded servers. Checking server list for Co-Op pubs par example (print-screens in spoiler below - Mods plus Password Protection: on/off) reveals around 1/2-1/3 of total existing servers as being "???". It may just be that such servers have a very high ping/unstable connection to be shown like that. Yet, after trying randomly some, in about 1/2 of cases that wasn't the problem - still green-to-yellow pings (50-200 actual pings), only mentioned servers were "???" nonetheless.

I've made a poll to inquired about perceived prevalence of topic's issue.

Likewise I've tried to find similar posts from past and only came up with this one: "HELP Ping shows as ???" - still I know I've seem more in recent times.

Could this issue be caused by recent updates, modifications on how server data is sent out and could that conflict worlds and their settings?

I play dst with my friends pretty often and I generally host the world for everyone. We've been playing on one world for quite a while and we really liked the seed and map layout. Today, just as we were supposed to play together, as I opened dont starve, the game acted as I would open it on a completely new device with no previous data. Then when I went to host game I noticed that there are no saves. It looked like all of my data for dont starve has just literally vanished and I have no idea what happened as I did not delete anything by myself. 

Please let me know if there is anything i can do to restore it, its such a shame and a waste.

Silly game here: Give yourself a title based on your personal, most unique, character-independent DS(T) ability or superpower.

I'm now Brave Butterstacker, Wielder of the Waffle.

Maybe the devs will tell us. Perhaps if Billiam was mermified, he'd look like Wurt but in a male way... I wonder if there's gender characteristics between merms?

Is there a life cycle for Merms, pigs, and bunnies?

My drawing kind of got piglets right but Wurt turned out different.

Disclaimer:

I am aware this topic is referring to subjective opinions at best and to hurtful stereotypes and prejudice relating them at worst, so I am asking you to remain polite. Anything said in this topic will probably be personal opinions, so it's perfectly correct not to agree with them.

I hope I'm not doubling this topic, as I don't remember if it has been discussed already. I did a little bit of searching, but I'm quite terrible at it, so I wouldn't be surprised I missed it (or them!).
Nevertheless we met a couple of new survivors recently, so I figured we could stir the pot a little bit

Please feel free to check a character if you don't like their personality, appearance,  their mechanics in game or even players that usually pick them.
I found out it's usually a little of it all and sometimes even something special.

Wilson, Wolfgang and Webber for me, sorry, not sorry
