A thread about your OC
I don't know if this fit here but OC doesn't always mean art, music, or lore, and it not suggestions because this thread is about sharing yoir OC and not what characters you want to be in the game.
If anyone else has any idea on where I should post this please replies.

how do i change to 32 bit for good?
title.
yes, i have a 64-bit laptop. no, that doesnt mean its the same. the way i have lag now is double compared to back when it was 32 bit only. ("wait, but wasnt that update a year ago?" you may ask. yes.)
i dont know how to change back, i've tried looking it up before. no, there is no "steam asking if i want to start in 32 or 64 bit." no, when i try to go to DST's files and open the game from regular "bin" instead of "bin64," it does not work
i'd prefer a solution that didnt mean having to go trough 5 million steps every time i want to play but its ok if thats the only option

Not directed at OP but just anyone in general, really. I was thinking of buying 50 copies and giving them to whoever because to me this game is worth that much money
If it wasn't obvious, I think DST shouldn't be free!
In a topic posted 13 hours ago on whether or not DST should be free or not I replied saying this ^
I have already bought my one friend a copy so now I'm only planning on buying 49 more, but my offer still stands! Also I may be inactive but I will certainly check up on this topic for any replies!
Edit: It's me editing my own post 5 minutes later again, you can either private message me on my forums account or find me on Steam at https://steamcommunity.com/id/PixilSnake/
And to elaborate, the 49 gift copies are exclusively Steam 
Edit Jr!: Changing things up yet again! Instead of 49 copies of DST it will now be 15 USD's equivalent of skins or a copy of the game! If you're asking for any skins, however, please do have at least 100 hours on the game. Thanks, everyone!

Help with adding tags to scripts
I have started to make a custom hat mod, and I want it to be able to give off heat, cook food, and give off light. Unfortunately, I know basically nothing about LUA programming. Could somebody tell me how to add tags to the script so that it works as intended?
I am currently using a custom hat template to do this, and they have already implemented some tags. I have made no changes to the code. It is here:
--[[ TAGS ]]-- inst:AddTag("custom_hat") -- Waterproofer (from waterproofer component) - this tag can be removed, but it's here just in case, to make the game run better. inst:AddTag("waterproofer") MakeInventoryFloatable(inst, "small", 0.1, 1.12) inst.entity:SetPristine() if not TheWorld.ismastersim then -- If we're not the host - stop performing further functions. -- Only server functions below. return inst end inst:AddComponent("inspectable") -- Allow "trading" the hat - used for giving the hat to Pigmen. inst:AddComponent("tradable") inst:AddComponent("inventoryitem") inst.components.inventoryitem.imagename = "custom_hat" inst.components.inventoryitem.atlasname = "images/inventoryimages/custom_hat.xml" inst:AddComponent("equippable") inst.components.equippable.equipslot = EQUIPSLOTS.HEAD inst.components.equippable:SetOnEquip(OnEquip) inst.components.equippable:SetOnUnequip(OnUnequip) inst:AddComponent("fueled") -- This fuel type will allow us to use Sewing Kit to repair our hat. inst.components.fueled.fueltype = FUELTYPE.USAGE -- Our custom hat should last about 5 days of constant wearing (480 seconds is 1 day in DST). inst.components.fueled:InitializeFuelLevel(480*5) -- What should happen when we reach 0% usage - remove the item. inst.components.fueled:SetDepletedFn(inst.Remove) inst:AddComponent("waterproofer") -- Our hat shall grant 20% water resistance to the wearer! inst.components.waterproofer:SetEffectiveness(0.5) MakeHauntableLaunch(inst) return inst end return Prefab("common/inventory/custom_hat", MainFunction, Assets)
Any help would be appreciated!

For threads that don't deserve their own thread
Tl;Dr At the end
Making a thread is hard, people size you up and tear you down. This is a thread to start threads that don't deserve their own thread.
Why? Because sometimes I want to make statements that aren't questions, they aren't pictures, nor are they a mechanic I want to share. Whenever I make a thread I feel pressured into needing to put a lot of thought into it. Maybe I got off topic with someone but I don't feel like making a new thread for it.
I want to say things like:
I wish there was necromancer character these are my ideas for perks, without having to make a character perks thread.
I want to talk about similarities I enjoy between Wanda and Wormwood without the pressure that the whole forum is looking at it.
Maybe I want to make a game suggestion I know Klei would never implement.
Maybe I want to change subjects 100 times in a row.
Sometimes its nice to know you're not the center of attention and your thoughts, that your a bit shy to share (sometimes I get anxious and delete a thread I was going to share), are going to get lost in the void.
Tl;Dr For this thread share what's on your mind about DST and don't worry about getting off topic as long as its DST related. Maybe you're having civilized discussion with someone that has gone off topic from the main thread, bring it here! Might get a little messy but go off topic (must be DST related) all you want.
This is forumers gone wild.
If all goes according to plan this thread may even unclutter other threads or the main page a bit.

Beefalo would probably taste the best, they are beefy and juicy, the meat probably tastes like buffalo and real-life Beefalo.

Help getting friends into DST
So I bought the game for a couple of friends recently and I'm struggling to get them into it. Teaching the games mechanics goes fine for the first few minutes but then I end up getting overwhelmed by all the questions and tasks that need to get done and end up fizzling out. But since they're new to the game, if I were to leave them to their own devices they end up dying, get frustrated or generally stand still and do nothing. I've tried sending them a couple guide videos but even I understand not wanting to sit through an entire video before getting into the game itself. Anyone have some advice? Maybe I should install some mods to make the game easier?

The constant flora
Fauna in the constant so interesting while all the floras are so mundane, some of them are magical but not on the same level as the fauna, most of the interesting floras are in the single-player DLC this would help make the game feel more alive and feel like we are in the wild and also make Wormwood not seen as a challenging character while making that perk more useful, meats in the constant is so diverse and interesting while there are only 2 magical fruit and 1 magical vegetable, I know that trees guard and other plants mobs exist but it's still too little and most of the floras makes no different stat and gameplay-wise.
↧
Any unknown mechanic to share?
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.

What kind of Flora do you want?
I want more medicinal plants, it would heal you a lot more than most food and give you more sanity than most food too but it should give little to no hunger, it also should give the player unique buffs that food can't give or add status effects that can be cured with that medicinal plants.
Now all of you can vote.

Some neat ideas for Wolfgang
Just some neat things I'd like to mention or see about wolfgang that would give him some potential depth or things that wouldn't change much but give him a different kinda fight style than your average wigfrid.
Idea 1. Alright so the mightiness loss on hit was pretty cool. But for some bosses is impossible like beequeen. So my solution is not to tune the mightiness loss per enemy but instead tie it to his sanity. Sanity being topped out means little to no mightiness loss. Sanity at 0 makes it drop like a hot rock when hit. So if you wanna keep mightiness keep your sanity. Also gives the sanity drain downside some merit.
Idea 2. Blunt weapons give more mightiness per hit like hambat or boomerang. While sharper ones like darksword give less mightiness but do more damage. A little bit of tuning and you got yourself a character that uses more than a singular weapon at all times.
Idea 3. Other survivors slow down mightiness drain by quite a bit. Including the getting hit drain. Personally I like it because wolfgang is a showman who wants to keep the appearance of mightiness and gives a sense of wanting to fight with others like wigfrid but the other way around. Of course this could work with pigmen and other friends like glommer or chester just not as much as players.
Idea 4. Mightiness gym gives other survivors a slight boost in damage for a day. Of course only if Wolfgang is there to support. But the buff should be like 1.10 something nice for others but not needed in any capacity.
Anywho I just wanted to put these ideas out there cus I thought they were neat.(especially the first and third ones) I think at least some of these would be reasonable at a base level lore and gameplay wise. Because just holding down ctrl f and never having mightiness unless it's a boss fight is a little boring. This way the people that want a interesting character are happy and the people that liked old Wolfgang wont completely hate the new one. I don't think this idea is perfect but it seems like it's worth a shot at least.

Came back after a few months away, very high lag
I just came back to DST after spending a couple months away from the game and am now experiencing some nasty lag even when playing alone. Character will backtrack far away and doing anything (even picking stuff up) can take a long time.
Is there any reason it's so laggy now when it wasn't when I used to play before? I've never had lag issues with DST while playing as the host before.
I've tested my internet and it is fine. Any help is appreciated, thanks!

Why is crafting system completely remover
Hello. I've seen lots of division in the forum's based on the new crafting system and I am curious. Why is the old crafting menu no longer an option for players who want it. It doesn't seem like much of a good idea to completely remove the old crafting menu when players are willing to quit over it.

Magmatic portraits aren't bad
I know when they first came out the Portraits were pretty much universally hated, from what I've heard, and Honestly I think that was an over-reaction. Because they're not that bad.
sure there are some inconstancies, because it looks like the person who did them didn't use a reference for some of them (Wigfrid lacks her tooth-gap, Maxwells chin is weirdly long.), and they somewhat resemble like ONI characters, I understand they were done by a different artist then the main person who does portrait art, and I don't think they're of a lower quality because of that, because there are a few poor decisions with the art, but overall they're not that bad, seriously, I think they hold up Today pretty well, a lot of the characters expressions and posing is exceptional. I think a lot of the shock came from the abrupt style change since the art is noticeably different from other portraits, and that's why people hated on them.
And Honestly this is coming from I bias I have against them since I think the fire hair on a few of them is really boring design choice.
I do not think the Magmatics are the worst skin portraits by any means, there are far worse offenders that I haven't seen many people talk about. (ex. Warly's DST portrait, Wortox's portrait, and Maxwell's Gaping Maw in his Untriumphant)
Spoiler
Also I hate how Klei keeps zooming in on a lot of the newer portraits, PLEASE give us more fullbody portraits.

Any small things that grind your gears?
Are there any small or miniscule details in DST that just get under your skin? Like, are there some character portraits you just can't stand, structures or items being placed in out there tabs, or certain animations that rub you the wrong way?
For me, it's how certain characters in the base roster of the game having short-sleeved shirts despite having long-sleeved ones in their portrait art. Willow? Short-sleeves. Wickerbottom? Short-sleeves. Heck, even Maxwell, who is shown in promotional art, as an npc, and even animated shorts wearing a long-sleeved suit, yet in game, he sports a weird looking short-sleeved suit. It just doesn't look right to me.
Those were just a few examples. I'd love to hear what other things that grind you guy's gears.

Performance Issues with Official Public Servers
Not trying to be aggressive, I only wanted to create a discussion post to highlight some problems with the performance of the official servers.
It is surely now the best opportunity to bring these up with the release of the new official servers, which happened recently.
On occasion, the Caves shard will stop working, rendering the world “Forest Only”. See an example attached below from Spiders and Such from last week (w/c 14/3/2022).
Despite new, and presumably more enhanced public servers, this problem is unfortunately still occurring quite frequently.
As a consequence of how much content is locked behind Caves, such as the Ancient Ruins, the Pseudoscience Station, Archives, Celestial Champion and so on, people don’t even bother to come to these servers and they are quickly abandoned until the problem is resolved.
Are the developers aware of and planning to address this problem?
Feel free to mention other problems with performance you might have encountered and want to raise more awareness about below.
Will anything change? Who knows? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
