[Bee Queen Strategy] Wall Cross, Wanda Solo, No Special Items
The wall cross separates Bee Queen from grumble bees in all 4 phases. Each side has 14 walls.
Upside: cheap, quick, battle feeling good, straight-forward, no cheese.
Downside: requires kiting skills.
- If executed perfectly, Wanda will take 0 damage. But I can't do that.
- The kiting pattern should [dodge, 2 attacks] -> [dodge, 2 attacks] -> [dodge, 4 attacks], as can be seen at this timestamp.
- The challenge of kiting her is that it's hard to trigger her attack and still get away from that attack.
- Each of her attack leaves behind a honey trail which slows down players. Your old standing spot always has sticky honey after your successful dodge, so never go back to the old spot.
- In phase 3 and 4, Bee Queen is passive and keeps distance from you. You have to go up to her to trigger her attacks. However, with Wanda's bigger range, she's able to attack intermittently her without triggering any of her attacks, as can be seen at this timestamp.
- Wanda can also tolerate fighting with only football helmet in old form, because damage isn't too high too frequently.
- Phase 3 and 4 are harder because of her passive behavior and the difficulty of triggering attack (without speed boost). I would think it's a good trade to tanking her in those 2 phases including Wanda.
About Speed Boost
Wanda can solo using this strategy without speed boost, but other melee characters need speed boost, especially in phase 3 and 4.
Theoretically, every character can beat Queen without receiving damage without speed boost, but it will take too much skill and time.
Who is Pearl?
Currently Pearl is one of most mysterious characters in dst, we know that Crab King was her husband and left to travel in ocean(and after he was idk smacked in head by Celestial Tribute falling from sky and turned in raid boss?), after that we found her, helped and then beat up her husband.But, when did she even appeared in constant?Counting that Pear's island is used to be way better(if we believe her quotes) many years ago,but, when?Pearl's island is cut part of Lunar's, but it fell waaay after Wilson and others appeared, so i have only 2 explanations:
1.Survivors wasted multiple years doing nothing and somehow not noticing 2 crabs appearing near lunar island they disovered.
2.Pearl's island is a small piece of Moon that fell in ocean before big one(and before survivors tried to explore ocean).
But still, where they came from?Where they took drying racks and bees from?Who are crabs in SW?Did they used to be survivors like other dst characters?
If yes then what happened to other crabs?If you have any thoughts about it please comment them.
Giant crop rotted not recycle self in 7 days, it is bug?
As the title says, I had giants, that rotted and did not reset even in 7-8 days after rotting, and not turn to sprout. Are they not supposed to?
Mega-Poll: What changes do people want for the characters they main
Hi,
Took a while, but I finally managed to compile the answers from this previous thread:
I asked "What do you main?" and mentioned I had "something" planned
And this is that "something":
Around 65 messages sent, out of which 50 people have replied
The question I asked: "What changes would you like to see for the character you main?"
All the messages received I have compiled in a huge note, and the suggestions will be available via polling.
Sadly, I tried to have it all in one thread, but the poll limit does not allow it (only 5 questions per thread).
Enjoy, and have fun.
Backstory of this:
I have basically selected all the serious players for each character in one fell swoop.
The poll wasn't even multiple choice on purpose.
It was my plan all along.
So now I am adding all of the replies for all characters into a huge poll, for everyone to vote on and discuss.
Feel free to share this thread for a larger sample size.
Hope this info can be useful to Klei, as the recent Wurt QoL changes showed what is possible.
EDIT: As I was writing this, I realized I have a problem
Which apparently is 5 questions
No matter, I will persist and compile a thread for each character, where each enthusiastic enjoyer of said character can discuss at length and vote inside. I will be linking each thread in this post below for ease of access. Be patient.
Details of poll format can be seen here:
Each thread will have the title "Poll: What changes would you like to see for [Character], if any"
And will have two questions:
1. Would you like to see changes to [Character]? (single choice)
- No, the character is perfect already
- No, the character is fine as is
- Yes, but only some QoL changes
- Yes, some new mechanics would be nice
- Yes, and I would love to see a full rework
2. [Character] changes: (multi-choice)
- [Choices from the "What do you main" thread replies]
- I don't like any of the above options
- Something else (comment below)
The Polls:
Really wish the polls supported more than 5 questions.
Hope this can help drive discussion for each character.
Poll: What changes would you like to see for Maxwell, if any?

Malbatross Beak Is Rarer To Get In Klaus Boss Bundle Compared To Its Peers
The TL;DR:
The Malbatross Beak is rarer to get from the boss bundle that Klaus gives, specifically from giant_loot3, which is as follows:
local giant_loot3 = { "bearger_fur", "royal_jelly", "goose_feather", "lavae_egg", "spiderhat", "steelwool", "townportaltalisman", "malbatross_beak", }
Moving the Malbatross Beak to not be last in the list would be appreciated since Malbatross Beak is much nicer to get compared to most items in this list imo. (Having it placed after a Jelly Bean would be even better for an extra Jelly + Malba beak combo.)
Also, the Desert Stone should always be the last item in the list as no one ever likes getting a Desert Stone from Klaus.
The Technical Details on why this occurs:
This just explains why it occurs.
My suggested simple solution is to just move one line around rather than doing something more complex that would cause other issues.
When the game chooses what two items to choose from giant_loot3, it does the following:
The first item chosen from giant_loot3 picks a position b/w 1 and the max size of the table, which is 8. That is, it chooses between bearger_fur and malbatross_beak).
The second item chosen from giant_loot3 picks a position b/w one and the max size of the table minus 1, which is 7. That is, it chooses between bearger_fur and townportaltalisman.
Here is the relevant code from component klaussackloot.lua:
local giant_loot3 = { "bearger_fur", "royal_jelly", "goose_feather", "lavae_egg", "spiderhat", "steelwool", "townportaltalisman", "malbatross_beak", } --from function KlausSackLoot:RollKlausLoot() items = {} local i1 = math.random(#giant_loot3) local i2 = math.random(#giant_loot3 - 1) table.insert(items, giant_loot3[i1]) table.insert(items, giant_loot3[i2 == i1 and i2 + 1 or i2])
This creates 56 total combinations and ends up looking like this below. You will see that the last item in the list (i.e. the malbatross beak) shows up in less combinations compared to its peers (8 out of 56 (14.29%) of combinations versus 14 out of 56 (25%) of combinations):
You can also use this modified code from klaussackloot.lua that prints all possible combinations of giant_loot3 to verify this as well:
local giant_loot3 = { "bearger_fur", "royal_jelly", "goose_feather", "lavae_egg", "spiderhat", "steelwool", "townportaltalisman", "malbatross_beak", } for i2 = 1, #giant_loot3-1, 1 do --i2 is done first as in-game, the last slot doesn't do any additional pairings for i1 = 1, #giant_loot3, 1 do print(giant_loot3[i1 == i2 and i2 + 1 or i2] .. " + " .. giant_loot3[i1] ) end print() end
Lazy Deserter Rework Ideas.
So I've seen more and more people over-time suggest a 'Lazy Deserter rework', especially after Wanda was released, this post is both for my idea to which I'll get to soon but also as a hub for klei to pick ideas from to make this forgotten structure used. My idea makes sure that Wanda's backtrek watches would still be a lot better in the long run, but also so people who don't like to play as her and/or play solo can have something similar.
So, here's my idea: Lazy Deserters no longer need more than 1 player to function, making them useful in solo play and not wasting other's time in multiplayer. IF there are more than 2 Lazy Deserters in the world (across shards counts) then the structure would teleport the player to the nearest one of the same gem/ or default if no gem is inserted. And last, Lazy Deserters would have the ability to have a gem socketed into them for easier linking, both across locations and across shards, all gemmed and not gemmed LD's would work the same, but couldn't work with other coloured gems/ a gemmed one with a non gemmed one, they just wouldn't work unless there's a LD of the same gem kind/ungemmed.
Feel free to correct every single grammatical issue.

Free wardrobe skin on website now!
You can claim a really cool wardrobe skin. Around the time of robot rework, some people datamined the game to find new skins or something and were confused about the plant-like wardrobe skin, but it's on the website now as a reward for merging an account!

Introducing, Klei Rewards
We are introducing a system that will allow players to collect "points" on their accounts by doing various things like subscribing to our Youtube or following us on Twitter and then use those points to get items. Currently we will be using this to distribute our out of cycle Twitch items rather than selling them as we had previously suggested. This allows players to get what they missed before or just get them without going through Twitch.
The first version of this can be found on our accounts page here: https://accounts.klei.com/account/rewards
In the future we will update the rewards program with new ways to earn more points and pick up cool rewards they may have missed, or even possibly entirely new stuff. Let us know what you think!
Should Wormwood's farming perks get buffed?
I feel like Wormwood's farming perks became almost nonexistent because of how easy it is to replace them and how Wild Crops are worse than giant ones. You can spam farming plots because they are cheap, build One Man's Band that lasts for literally infinity when tending to crops and just spam self feeding crops to get giant ones. That makes most of Wormwood's farming perks not that good, and leaves him with only "being able to plant crops outside of farm plots" which is, again - not very good, because of being unable to grow giant crops with it.
