Headcanon name for the island?

$
0
0

Hello everyone! I'm interested to hear everyone's personal terms for the island in which Don't Starve and Don't Starve Together take place.

Unless there is an official name I am unaware of, I've heard variations such as "The Shadow Island", "The Shadow World", "The Shadow Realm", and just Survival Island.

Personally, I'm more attuned with "The Hell Island™".

Thoughts? Perhaps even developer input or confirmation? J2TMuO2.png


A New Reign begins!

Hello folks,

I’m here to give a much needed update on Through the Ages. Over the last year, we’ve been working on this expansion, and while the team was often pulled to help get Reign of Giants and Caves properly integrated, they’ve been busy developing and prototyping different mechanics for TTA.

One of the most important processes we have at Klei is the process of experimentation. For example, Mark of the Ninja used to be a puzzle game, Invisible, Inc. started life as a mobile game. Don’t Starve itself used to look like this.

This is why TTA has taken so long -- we spent a lot of time trying new things. Some of the things worked, while many of them seemed interesting on paper but ended up not being very good in practice.

One of our biggest concerns has been making large scale changes in one go without the constant feedback of the community. We hoped that a major expansion could provide a lot of the things we all feel DST could benefit from: more creatures, more long term challenges, more ways to cooperate, more ways to manage servers, more lore, and so on. We still feel that the game could benefit from these things, but we are concerned about the impact of adding everything all at once. We decided that doing this incrementally, with your feedback, is the better way to go.

That’s why, starting this Thursday, we are going to restart an old tradition: regularly scheduled updates! In addition, to better represent the content in these updates, we will no longer be using the name “Through the Ages,” this series of updates will be known as “A New Reign”, and it will be delivered to you every 3 weeks for the next 6 months.

We also know that some players don’t want to be forced through the process as we’re changing the game rapidly, so we will be putting the updates in a Beta branch that anyone can subscribe to. Every so often, once the features are stable, we will merge them back into the main branch.

Here’s the first update poster to get us going!

To recap:

  • Instead of continuing to work on Through the Ages for several more months, we are going to release content every 3 weeks starting this week.
  • The content we’re delivering will now be call A New Reign
  • A New Reign will be available on a Beta branch, and merged back into main every so often
  • A New Reign starts this week, and will continue for the next 6 months.

Once again, I really appreciate the constant feedback -- game development is never easy, and as a studio we keep trying to push the boundaries, and often that throws our plans awry. Thanks again for being such a great, supportive community. I really appreciate it.

Something in the Dark

So a while ago, my friend and I were playing on a Klei server and we were in the caves. We joined near the end of summer, and decided to duck down into the caves to wait the last few days out. I've been down there plenty of times before, but this time something was different. I was being Woodie (as usual), he was being either Wilson or Maxwell (I can't quite remember) and we heard something. It sounded BIG. Normally, I'd assume it was just something that I hadn't heard before. Like some kind of ambiance that was in DST but not DS. But then our characters said things. Woodie said "Oh geez. I hope you're ready 'Luc". I can't remember what my friend's character said. My point is that there was something down there to cause it. Our characters even had special dialogue, like when the giants show up. It sounded kind of like breathing, and it kept on getting closer. We decided to stay and see what it was, and it kept getting closer, and closer. But right as it reached the loudest point yet . . . it quit. Just like that. No sign of what caused it or why it quit. We both just kind of shrugged after waiting a while, and went back above ground. I have no idea what this was. However, after seeing the silhouette picture of the giant toadstool thingy, I wanted to ask: has anyone else experienced this? If so, even if you have seen the cause, please don't say what it is. When I first began playing DS, I didn't look anything up. I discovered it all by myself, and it was the most fun I have ever had in a video game in my entire life. 

So, if you have heard something in the dark, please say so, and simply leave it at that. There are mysteries in Don't Starve. Beautiful, deadly mysteries, and I want to discover each and every one. If I can do so myself, rather than have the mysterious unknown be spoiled for me, then I will be all the happier.

In short,PAUSE for Don't starve Together is now available as a server mod.Hurray!

Now on a serious note, why did it take a modder and 5 months to have a pause option? Are we suppossed to wait for a fix in the inherited default delay of the caves when we clearly know it's just bad coding ?

Maxwell Memes: The Sequel

Hey everyone! I noticed that there's a buttload of new memes and no place to put them. Post them here for people to see (and so we can stop clogging up the puzzle thread). Enjoy!

Edit: Also, the memes don't have to be Maxwell themed. All characters are welcome. This is merely a sequel of a previous meme thread.


Tips on how to be Courteous to Fellow Players

$

Now this thread is not meant to call anyone out, nor is it about venting your frustrations over mistakes noobs make. These are tips aimed more at showing ways of being considerate than improving your skill at the game. 

I don't have a lot of time for playing computer games, so when I play DST I tend to hop on a random server and help out all I can before I have to leave (sometimes hosting my own server if I can't find one, which tends to be lonely), and I thought it would be nice to share ways I've found of not being a liability and not getting on peoples bad sides. I'd like to see other peoples tips too, in case there's some I've missed or just haven't thought of. So here's mine :3

  • Don't ask where the Base is Right After Joining: This one's simple, but it goes a long way in not annoying people. Now I know that when you first enter a server you want to know where you can come to at night to cook and spam the /dance emote, but be patient. If you aren't given directions or offered an escort, explore, gather some things, get your bearings. People will respect you more if you survive a few days before asking where the base is located. Who knows, you may even find it on your own!
  • Don't Pick Everything: When first entering one of the many randomly generated islands, our brains tend to immediately slip into PICK ALL THE THINGS mode, especially those of us who've spent a fair amount of time in the single player game. However, when playing in multipayer, one has to stop and think, "Hey, if I systematically pick every bit of flint, grass, twigs, and food from around the portal in a ten mile radius, then there won't be anything left for new players!" Please, be considerate. How can you expect new players to survive a few days if they can't even scrounge up enough for a torch?
  • Drop some Flint by the Portal: It's a small thing that'll help out people just entering the server. You don't even have to go out of the way to do it; if you happen to be pasing by the portal and have some flint to spare, just drop some by it, or make a pickaxe to leave behind so they can collect their own. Heck, I've heard of people making a chest by the portal containing equipment like torches, rabbit earmuffs, and pickaxes to help new players out.
  • Don't Enter in Winter or Summer: Pay attention to the day and season of the server you're joining. If you want to join in a difficult season for some extra challenge, go ahead. Just don't expect everyone to drop what they're doing to help you out.
  • If you don't want Strangers, set a Password: You'd think this one would be a no brainer, but I've heard a lot of stories of people joining servers just to be kicked the moment they enter. I assume it only happens when someone doesn't know that they can make a password for they're server, but still, it's rude.
  • Drop your Stuff Before you Leave: Before you leave a server, it's nice to drop your items on the ground so others can use them. If you're playing with familiar people on a server you know you'll be on again, you can keep your equipment. In any case it's still rude to leave with gears, a big stack of silk, or any other important items still in your inventory, selfishly taking them out of reach of the unfortunate players left on the server.
  • Keep Busy: Look around the base. Does it still need some drying racks? A crockpot? Some farms? Do the traps need to be emptyed? Are you low on wood? Look around for things that need to be done, and if you're having trouble finding something, it never hurts to ask. No one likes a leach.

I hope you enjoyed reading through my wall of text and I didn't waste your time. Feel free to post helpful tips of your own, and you might help a few people become a little more helpful. Maybe.

Hello! Wendy's getting cracked up in SCIENCE.

1. Make yourself a home for the 6 pigs willingly for testing and cruelty purposes. 

2. Repair the moonstone and insert your Star Caller's staff.20160913081530_1.jpg

Is there a way to manually enable the drowsiness effect with the command console? (Or any other way, for that matter?)

I'm talking about the speed debuff effect you get after waking up from a mandrake, panflute, or bearger yawn. <:o

Recently I remembered Klei's old stream, when I looked at the loading screen in the game. I remembered the concept art of this set on Wigfrid. Now I have a question for Klei. Are you going to release something like a "Monster Collection" or it's just a fantasy that will never become real?

I am from Venezuela and the lag I get is unplayable in internet terms, I can run the game fine in FPS. But not by internet, even in the lowest ping server. Nope.

I have a 10 MBs connection, too. But that doesn't do anything because of the distance between me and the server.

This is like, the only game that does this to me. I can play Counter-Strike 1.6 just fine with even a 60 Ping and perfectly playable.

I also have paid for the game, but it really is terrible that I can't play because of well, this.

So... Developers, help, please?

Help?? how to restore a server

Hey guys!! My girlfriend and I had a dedicated server on DST that we played on a few times a week that was on year 4 and completely developed, and I hosted it on my computer. However, my motherboard recently fried itself, and i had to get it completely replaced, which resulted in all the data on my computer being deleted. I had it backed up, but I've been unable to find a file containing DST servers, does anyone know where that would be hidden? or if there's any other way I could restore this server? thanks :0

Hello! I try make sv, all ok but ping ??? (on lan tab I have ping).

I use macOS + steamcmd + I have dedicated IP from my net provider.

clusner.ini

[SHARD]
shard_enabled = true
bind_ip = 127.0.0.1
master_ip = 127.0.0.1
master_port = 10999

Yes, I saw this post

Quote

Open up UDP port 10999 on your router, send it to your hosting machine.

 

Router gives this IP to my machine 192.168.88.203

Screen_Shot_2016_09_14_at_18_00_59.png

I use mikrotik router, start to open UDP port 10999 (in IP/Firewall/NAT settings tab)

Screen_Shot_2016_09_14_at_17_12_15.png

I don't have antivirus/firewall apps, and default firewall off too. But I still have ping ???

Or maybe I need use my dedicated IP? not internal (192.168.88.203)?

Screen_Shot_2016_09_14_at_18_08_02.png

I was lost and confused so much, maybe someone have any suggest?

Server Troll

$

Hi there, I'm looking for feedback from Klei on this one.

 

Recently I've noticed a group of Steam accounts that sign onto dedicated servers together and immediately call votes to regenerate the world followed by votes to kick all the active players on the server. I have noticed that only one of the accounts spawns into the world or uses chat (in which they've made it clear they're only there to grief) while the rest only ever remain in character select. It's pretty apparent that it's a single user with multiple/botted accounts who is abusing the vote system to troll servers. Sitting in server browser, I can see these accounts repeatedly appearing on servers that have fewer than 3 players on them and wiping them. This individual has done this to servers I've been on at least 3 times now in the past 2 weeks, and it gets old fast. I'm hoping Klei and/or Steam can take some action on this. I can provide account details.
