Extremely. Extremely. Extremely. Tired of getting a server to spring or summer, and when new players start joining because the season is easier to survive in and they get their arses plastered all over the walls; because the server is already in progress and thus starting is not easy. And guess what happens, they vote for a regeneration. Because they want to play in a new game.

So the two or three players that have been in said server for twenty to fifty days, hours of gameplay, are pretty much always outnumbered by the slew of new players that show up. And so the server gets reset. Flawless system. Why bother progressing at all. Just spent an entire day getting to late spring, had it all erased because all the new players got whiny over frog rain. The fact this is possible is absurd and it has now happened three times in as many days.

New players should not be able to start or vote for a server regeneration unless they have been playing for a week. Or two. That is just it really, this problem makes it borderline impossible to get a public server into summer. Because you literally have to hope the new players will not have a tantrum and want to erase everybodies progress so they can play instead of just finding a new server. You literally have to roll the dice, and beg and plead to the stars that the players who join you will behave or the players who stay through winter outnumber them. But you will almost always be outnumbered, because most players die or quit in winter anyways. Leaving maybe two at maximum usually still there.

Not to mention the fact that if you leave a server while you are on vote to be kicked, it negates the vote and forces players to vote again when you come back. Making kicking impossible to perform on players that want to avoid it. Endless griefing potential.

Fantastic system. Seriously. Want to play on a public server for better connection and more community openness, might as well just stand and talk really because if you actually make it through winter you will have fresh garbage slump through the portal and take it all away from you because they do not care.

I've been thinking of digging up a large amount of grass tufts and using them in conjuction with lureplants to make automatic farms. however, I need to know if lureplants harvesting transplanted grass will spawn gekkos. this would be detrimental, as the lureplants would kill the gekkos, causing my world to lose grass over time. any help would be much appreciated!

Hey, a longer while ago i've tried my luck in drawing Wilson, and today i've decided to once again attempt to draw.

This time i drew my favourite character, i like to think i've improved myself since last time, used Fire Alpaca and spent about two hours on it.

What do you guys think?

Im not really sure what one i should purchase id obviously rather wannna play with people at some point so it sounds obvious but im not sure.

Also, on GOG they have the dont starve sale with DLC, is that able to be activated on steam, thanks alot.

Look forward to getting the game and having some fun

so in a recent hotfix there were qoute on quote bugs that where changed  that have been within the game for years now but no one had ever said anything about due how it wasn't really a bug at all but a technique in itself that had its own pros and cons.

main one I will be talking about is the dual lantern and tool equip mechanic on how it shouldn't have been removed. It was initially removed cause it was reported as a bug to developers cause it essentially made the game "easier" however that is not true. as doing this causes the player not capable to interact with their inventory while performing this so yeah you get your two handed tool and light but you arent able to eat fuel your light or equip anything while doing it while however say if you had a miners hat you don't have to worry about the inventory lock the lantern had done thus making it a viable option that should stay in since it is so small and also has pros and cons to itself thus making it a viable strategy within the games mechanics.

i started a world and i forgot to enable caves and now i am day 118 and i really dont want to start a new world...

there is any way to enble caves?

I really like sandstorms. I like how the screen looks when we experience them & how it looks when our character wears desert goggles. Effects are top notch in my opinion! Then again, I think that sandstorms are used in the wrong way...

What I mean by that is --> we basically go to oasis (& we expierence a sandstorm) we use fishing rod and gather blueprints. Then some of us go to Antlion and expierence another sandstrorm. Other players (like myself) don't even bother with Antlion at all. When he get's pissed just go to area with many trees = free logs.

What I propose is:

Sandstorms are not stationary thing. When summer starts they appear randomly (like rain in spring, with similar frequency). We all do not like walking slow like turtles - so the lake in oasis would be filled in spring (that would make sense, cos lot's of rain) and would be filled also in summer. So smart players would gather blueprints earlier and will be prepared when sandstromrs hit.

So what do you guys / gals think?

EDIT:

I was thinking about it all, and since there would be players walking without goggles --> I would propose sandstorms rate = half the rain that we got in spring. Also walking speed in sandstorm = a little faster than it is now.

Thought this might be fun to try and it was a blast, the idea was to make it more challenging than a single base model and it was!   The only rule is that you have to create your own base and transactions are done through a barter system (which is leading to a universal currency).    It isn't strictly a model of "everyone goes there own way", people do go on joint ventures on a voluntary basis.  Watching how everyone sets up their base is enthralling, some opt for lavish setups and designed set pieces, others go the minimalist route with less attention to orderly design.

What was interesting about this dynamic is that players who were conditioned to the single base model weren't always prepared for every exigency as they forgot that they were responsible for everything.    Another fascinating component is the "price" of goods in the barter system, one person values 40 grass as 20 wood and vice-versa.   Gears of course buy you quite a bit.   Gold at first commands a very high price then it diminishes rapidly.    The basics for barter don't change too much though, they are grass, wood,  and silk (not so much twigs) because "farming" them is labor intensive.      

The other serious challenge is Deerklops in the early phase, a wrecked base can take 20 days or more to rebuild (especially when you're in the wrong season).   

Most valuable item is (as always) the walking stick, and the essentials for the first winter are of course tents, thermal stones, beefalo hats and sewing kits.   Miss any one of these and you workload goes up exponentially.    

We are doing this scenario in a large world setting, doing long solo excursions to explore are tricky as its hard to pack enough gear and deal with hound attacks simultaneously.    Players who focus on that too early risk working from an underdeveloped base which leads to trouble later when winter hits.

At the moment we have 4 dedicated players but the server has six slots, in the next week or two I hope to fill the last two.   

In this challenge, you basically know it from the title.

You must start in a INFINITE WINTER world on Don't Starve Together.

Why DST you may ask? Well, since the thermal stone has a durablity, it can break (Yes I know I'm evil :P)

YOU MUST PLAY ALONE!!! NO-ONE ELSE!

Some characters I would reccomend to play as would be:

Wilson: Has a beard that will provide EXCELLENT insulation after 16 days

Webber: Has a beard that grows faster but with less insulation

Willow: Has a lighter to burn things for heat

WX-78: Rain does not exist in Winter- does it not?

Rules:

- Start in a world with the Spawn in the world configuration set on 'Plus' to give you a headstart

- YOU MUST NOT USE CONSOLE TO CHEAT

- Enable Client mods (if you want) like: Combined Status and Item Info (Cheat Mods are not allowed .-.)

Thanks for reading and I'll hope you'll try this challenge :3

i play Don't Starve Together alone every time because one i love to play alone and my internet speed is not good for any online game my pnig is

600-700 ms so Can i enter caves when i play offline

Note that I haven't tested this myself as my laptop isn't powerful enough but if you are able to do so then please be my guest.

Things that you will need:

• Being able to run 2 Don't Starve Together executables at the same time.
• A different way to input controls into the other game (For example: A Steam Gamepad).

So I was wondering if this would be possible, and I think that in theory it is, but I can't try it out because of my low specs, so I share my idea here on how to do it:

Go to the directory your Don't Starve Together Executable is, it should be C:\Program Files\Steam\steamapps\common\Don't Starve Together\bin in Windows. If you can't get there, right click Don't Starve Together in your steam library, click Properties, click local files, click Browse local files, open the bin folder and you're there.

Now right click dontstarve_steam.exe and make a direct access.

Right click the direct access and set it in the compability tab to "Run as administrator". Make another copy of this same direct access but add this line: -conf_dir DSTPlayer2 in the first box (It's called "Destiny" for me but I'm spanish so I won't promise anything).

So now you have a second folder that Don't Starve Together will have to store things, hold Control/Ctrl and click both direct accesses and hit Enter, the arrow key or just right click them and click "Open". Steam will most likely give you a notification saying that Don't Starve Together is trying to run, just let it do.

Now here you will have to open task manager, to do so you can hit control/ctrl + alt + delete and click "Open task manager".

In Task Manager in the applications tab, hold Control/Ctrl and click both Don't Starve Together games then right click and click Maximize, they both should cover your screen now, so here's the problem, Player 1 will most likely have to rely on their Keyboard because if you click something then Windows will stop letting other applications receive input, however it is also possible that Player 2 can use their gamepad even if that thing is happening, if so, proceed to have fun but for sanity keeping I'll suggest making Player 1 make a lan world and let Player 2 join.

Just configure the controls for both players before playing.

Again, I am not sure if this may work, and if Steam doesn't let you re-launch the game, try and see if you can use another account that also owns Don't Starve Together, for example, a friend's who is staying at your house for some time or something like that.

how often do people roll, and don't remember their number and after that claim they have a higher number, so they try to "steal" the loot.. or people roll who didn't help/take part in the fight. its chaotic with a lot of players. 

 klei please improve the roll system, maybe add a small overview of the history of all roll results, so we can doublecheck the rolls. 

thanks

It is so delicate and beautiful, it is worth standing on the desk every day to watch

So, back in July I made a thread showing off all of the concept art skins before we knew about the clothes system. Since then, the thread died off as it was no longer relevant. So I was thinking, "Hey, the wiki doesn't really show off all of the new clothes, someone should do something about that." But since I can't edit the wiki (or know how to), made this thread showing off all the skins that Klei has released to DST as of now. I will update this thread with new skins as they roll out. enjoy!

The Mod Rarity Thread

Why is the Hammer craftable without a science machine? You can't do that in the original game. Someone actively went in and changed that. Why? It just gives grieffers and looters quicker access to stealing and breaking stuff.

 And also, there's this horrible tendency now to go around demolishing pig houses with hammers for quick supplies. It ruins the game for everyone. 

I really don't understand Klei's decision here at all.  

Am i the only one who thinks that lureplants should be updated or changed in some way?

well ofcourse the lureplant itself is a great way to collect grass, twigs and even reeds but thats it.

 And the leafy meat. Theres no crafting recipes and you cant use it in a crockpot either.

maybe they could come up with a critter that could use the leafy meat as a part of its crafting recipe?

I just like the idea of a carnivorous plant that eats everything but in game its just meh.

Any thoughts?

• Odd Skeleton can now be reanimated above ground during nighttime.
• Nightmare Lights within the Atrium zone have been replaced with Ancient Obelisks.
• Sinkholes caused by Antlion will now repair themselves even when they are on-screen.
• Minor reduction to the collision radius of Wardrobes and Meat Bulbs.
• Melted Mini Glaciers will now dry up in Summer or near a Campfire.
• Fixed bug where Pengulls stopped spawning after the first year.
• Fixed bug where Klaus’s Deer could sometimes spawn in the ocean.
• Fixed bug where a player can sometimes become fused with the Big Tentacle when jumping into a Big Slimy Pit immediately after another player.

guys he downloaded mods lıke I did, but his mods arent up to date. now u say update it he updates it but it doesnt work. and  he cant delete any mods in "cache mods" or "mods" files. point is , he cant enter my sv.  we just want to get our own chesters. Nice game Nice WORK.

I was looking into the bug page and saw that this bug was reported and listed as known issue, My question is should we get it? I have tested the station on overworld and hammering it gives out lightning. Also (if they do give us this but they don't know how too) they can do the thing with music in ruins and make it so lighting only work in ruins.
