Hi there i have been playing Don't Starve Together and the original game Don't Starve and i have come up with a theory...
My theory is that the creator of the radio that one brought Wilson into the don't starve world and also the radio that is used the divining rod is Webbers father.
My reasoning is kind of loose but does makes sense, so if u look at the quotes from webber when inspecting the Alchemy Engine, he says "Father used to work on something like that" which would lead me to believe that maybe his father was an inventor of some sorts.
Now the only person i could think of that would have invented stuff (apart from Wilson) was Robert Wagstaff (notice the W) he was the one who created the Voxola PR-76 radio. I also believe that maxwell had a hand in help Wagstaff Build the radio as a mean to bring people into the dont starve way to free him.
Now the factory that the radio was going to be distributed from burned down, me and my friend have a theory that Wagstaff himself burned down the factory after finding out Maxwell’s intentions and once Maxwell found out what Wagstaff had done he dragged him into the world and possibly his son Webber too, I believe that before the factory a few radios got out and could be the reason all the characters are in Don’t Starve due to these radios Maxwell created with Wagstaff
