hey guys! im an old player of dont starve and i had managed to survive for like 900 days or so before dying to get xp after i got webber and maxwell unlocked, and my brother started playing dont starve together me and my brother is "somewhat decent players" and we only played 2 players, in the third day, someone died of spider warriors from the den and there were 3 of them from a tier 2, then that player got resurrected with the touch stone, in like around day 10 or so there were hounds, and were like ok, hounds, theyre easy and we made log suits and get our spears and we got rekt and im like why are there many hounds?! usually there are just 2 hounds in the first raid and for the koalefants, i noticed theyre a lot harder then the vanilla is it because of the new update or were playing DST in 2/6 players? and i felt like we had the good strategy by using wolfgang and wickerbottom, im new to DST hopefully the community will accept me as its own (btw does the max player capacity affects the difficulty? and some tips about creating the worlds when ur playing with just 2 people... thx (my brither highest is 600 days on regular DS and mine is around 1300 or so on regular DS))

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.

hello all,

I'm trying to play with my logitech controller. the controller works but the keys are not right. when I go to settings and controls I click on the generic controller option but it won't let me bind the right keys to the controller so therefore instead of my action key to be A, it is X. I don't mind it that much during gameplay because it still works, but it would be nice if I could fix it 

Mentioned it multiple times in posts out of grudge, figured to bring it up in general. This is not a question, but it would be interesting to see if people have noticed it.

Because here is the breakdown of Wigfrid.

- 25% Attack Bonus

- 25% Defense Bonus

- Noticeable sanity and life siphoning from combat, allowing her to regenerate sanity and heal wounds autonomously

- Ability to mass produce head slot item with more durability then football helmet, which is more difficult to acquire

- Ability to mass produce hand slot item with more power and durability then spear

- Can only eat meat, a common item that makes up most of the games food

- Her equipment requires gold, which is an extremely easy resource to mass farm from rocks above and below ground

So. Wigfrid at her base is 50% stronger then the average character. She then can mass produce more powerful standard equipment which arguably makes her 50% stronger again in terms of endurance. She then also siphons energy from foes, which makes her potentially 25% stronger even more because she literally can heal her wounds and perpetually stay sane from participating in easy combat scenarios.

And all this is weighed out by, being a carnivore. Really, because most of the significant food in this game; is meat. And most of the significant recipes in this game; are meat. And the ultimate meta which can magically purify monster meat, meatballs, is also; meat. Literally, unless you are completely new to the game Wigfrid's gimmick is virtually inconsequential and only stops you from eating filler for quick satisfaction. And past a certain point, eating filler is already taboo anyway. And not being able to eat things like mushrooms and light fruit is meaningless when she already can regenerate sanity and health by fighting, and has massive benefits that far outweigh not being able to eat obscure utility foods.

Wigfrid is easy mode. Hundred percent. Because right out of spawn, she is capable of obliterating low tier enemies with no effort. Right out of spawn, she is capable of handling mid tier enemies like clockworks with minimal injury. And right out of spawn, she is capable of mass producing a constant stream of above average equipment which makes her standard arsenal better and more efficient then every other players with no downside. And right out of spawn, she can stay sane forever just by fighting weak mobs; and can constantly heal damage to require significantly less aid then other characters.

Having used Wigfrid as main for over thirty hours, can definitively say that she should not exist unless easy mode was an intended option. Actually stopped playing her because she makes the game so trivial by having a ceaseless arsenal, significant base combat superiority and self regeneration all at the cost of limiting what you can eat in a meaningless way. And her being a carnivore only makes the game less interesting because it means less of the food items you find are content you can access, you are just forced to default to not eating every single thing you can possibly find.

Nerf her, she completely defies logic. Why would Willow and her quirky abilities get nerfed when Wigfrid is over twice as strong as every other character at her base with no real downside.

Oh damn, Deerclops is coming. Should we find Klaus and acquire his key and use him to fight Deerclops? Should we run to the swamp and hope the tentacles deal with it. Should we spend boatloads of resources to make a toothtrap pit and hope that kills him? Should we make shadow equipment and gang up on him ourselves?

We got a Wigfrid. Just give her a hambat and a logsuit and she'll drop him quicker then a stone.

It happens to me sometimes. Game randomly and rarely zooms in or zooms out. Is this a bug or making players got their attention on something?

Hello Guys,

since im playing for 200d+ on my own server, im curios about not seeing any dragonflies till now. I started the Server with "Classic" Biomes instead of "Together". If there arent any dragonflies, how can i get scales for crafting? 

Sry for my bad english

Does anyone else find it weird that you can repair thermal stones with a sewing kit? Like how do you sew a rock back together? It makes no sense!

On a related note, why can't you use the sewing kit on a beekeeper hat? That seems like it would make more sense than a rock.

So upon playing beta, you know the Reanimated Skeleton, right?

Well, this is what I found on the wiki when it dies (Its death statement)

Let the intense theorising begin

(Btw heres the link for the wiki page)

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.

Hi everyone

I'm new to the forums and to DST in general although i have played DS/SW before and from what I've experienced thus far i like the added challenge and particularly the rollback feature(saves griefing).

Anyway i play offline solo in a Endless world preset and I've just finished my first Winter and come along a visit to a nest i find Goose/Goose landing but won't give chase(i guess no more lure to angry beefalos) so i just killed it the old fashioned way... with a tentacle spike! ...mid-fight though lightning suddenly strikes and a HUGE egg appears out of nowhere, i guess this is where Moslings spawn from though now i'm wondering are they hazardous to the environment? i.e do they destroy everything around them? eat carrots of the ground? i do like my carrots as they are. I'm getting worried as i know for a fact there are several other nests, which also brings-up another question do they all spawn a Goose/Goose when i come visit? I don't mind killing them all, Wolfgang needs something to punch now and then but i'd like to avoid it if i can.

Sorry for the long read and thank you in advance to any responses. 

Does anyone know when the beta will end? I'm tired of  my friends being separated by it.

I felt the need to remake the dead topic revealing all skins as of now since skins are coming soon, feel free to leave your suggestions below  I'm sorry that the pictures aren't the same sizes, I'll try my best to keep this thread active with skin reveals!

Misc.

 I just learn an information about Eric Clapton. He gifted a guitar that Red coloured and Lucy named to Beatles guitarist George Harrison. George wrote a song While My Guitar Gently Weeps. But they got a problem about the song's solo part. Like the titile says solo should make guitar weep but they can't do that. So they wanted to Eric Clapton do that solo with that Red coloured Lucy named guitar.
 Maybe this quite off topic but i think Klei inspired from this.

Hello again, I have a few questions i'd love to know the answers to if someone would indulge me. 

1) Regrowth mechanic -  Got somewhat confused reading the wiki and from what people said on steam, so basically if i harvest a carrot from the ground the game will eventually respawn one in the general area after around 20 days? 

2) Do Events still occur on offline mode? 

3) Is there a way to enable online Mode on a offline server? if so how?

4) Does the loot stash spawn in offline mode? if so if i don't find it yet after the first winter does it despawn?

Thank you in advance.

So after searching around I finally figured out where the adminlist goes with the new file structure and what is supposed to go it, yet it still doesn't wanna load it right. My log keeps giving the error "Error string decoding Steam Net ID" right after loading the list. Any ideas as to just what I need to do to fix it?

There is nothing worse than having to stop your progress just to collect the much needed items to revive a player, for dying to darkness on day 2 no less.  This really sheds time and days that could be used to build up the base and/or prepare for Winter.  On the flip side, it isn't very fun to have to wait to be revived when you could be playing the game.  To solve this problem, somewhat, I've come up with basic survival strategies needed to survive the first few days.

Make the basic necessities

Believe it or not, this is one of the biggest reasons new players die.  I can't tell you how many times players have died from darkness on day 3, when there are plenty of grass and twigs around the area.  So the strategy would be to collect 4 twigs, 2 grass, and 2 flint for a torch and pickax.  Sure it's nice to have an ax as soon as you get 1 flint, but that means you'll have to look for 2 more pieces to make a pickax.  It's more efficient to make a pickax, then mine rocks to get more flint.  That means you pick up 2 flint off the ground vs 3 flint off the ground.  Only grab enough twigs around the portal to make a torch, and then grab more twigs, grass and 2 flint when you go further out.  This means that new players joining the game still have some grass and twigs around the portal so they can make their own torch.

Don't explore weird territory

I think you should explore the game, don't get me wrong, but don't explore an area that looks dangerous if you're new to the game Don't Starve in general.  Many people have died by caves (on day 2-5) and by the Dragonfly before Winter even starts.  That's ridiculous at that point.  Don't explore a new and dangerous area if you don't have the tools and you don't even know what they are.  Now, I can see the excuse for caves because many new players will mine it for flint and accidentally enter when they are picking up the flint, but you have to pass dangerous looking pools of lava to get to the Dragonfly, so there is no excuse there.

Prioritize

What good is a rabbit trap when you don't even have a torch?  This whole list seems hard to believe, but some people have literally died because they felt a rabbit trap was more important than a torch.  I just...  Sure a rabbit trap is very much needed, especially if you have Wigfrid, but I think a rabbit trap is pretty useless if you can't even survive past the night.  If you have limited resources then, as stated above, make the necessities and constantly picks twigs and grass far away from the portal.  Shout out to the people who make bee boxes yet don't catch butterflies.  I literally have to waste 2 days to make the net and catch the butterflies.  Shout out to the people who make rabbit earmuffs, wasting 2 rabbits, instead of using the razor in the chest to shave the beefalo.  Those two rabbits would have made great kabobs/meatballs, but a useless pair of earmuffs are nice I guess.  

I don't remember other mistakes, but anyone else is free to add anymore mistakes that have people dying in the first few days.  

So I mentioned this on another thread, but the way I understand disease is supposed to work is when you transplant grass tufts, berry bushes, or saplings a timer starts. When the timer reaches its designated endpoint somewhere 50-70 days it has a chance to become diseased. (Warning period blah blah blah) On a failed check, the timer restarts. The way to avoid this is supposed to be every <50 days you should dig up and replant your crops. I am fine with this as it adds some difficulty to the game, but it is predictable and avoidable provided you are aware of it. However.... on multiple occasions I have had my crops become disease in far less than 50 days after my last "turn the crops" session. When the mechanic is unpredictable or can happen in so short a time period that I feel the need to turn the crops every season it gets a little frustrating. I find it frustrating because this results in one of two things: One, the server's lifespan is artificially restricted because eventually, no matter how hard you try, the non-renewable resources will die off from disease and you will be left with a desolate world that cannot sustain you. Two, I have to get obsessive compulsive on this and constantly turn my crops leaving me little time to go out explore, expand, and experience the other content of the game. Note: Most of the time I run this server by myself, my friends occasionally coming in on weekends.... So here are my questions. Has anyone gone into the code and confirmed the 50 day timer? If so, then my experience indicates either false information, or some kind of bug or glitch that circumvents the 50 day timer, which do we think this might be? (As I said, this has happened to me multiple times, and I would not bring it up if I was not certain it was less than 50 days... most recent incident was 35 days)

Like in the title. I know that i can use mods but there is no beefalo riding mod to DS.

I'm just asking if a Nintendo Switch version of DST/DS Mega pack can happen in the future, if so I definitely want to get one. That's all. (Also @ImDaMisterL I did not know whether or not to put this here or in PS4 general discussion, move this thread if you think it belongs there.)

I heard that he existed before ANR, but there was no news about him
Looks like a bigfoot monster, it's cool
