Does anyone even like Don't Starve?

Why did they not add a campaign mode to don't starve together?
I can't get any of my friends to play it due to it being ultimately goalless.

theres not enough to do, it feels empty on content
nice artstyle and base but the devs forgot gameplay

Everytime i've tried it the weird black dogs just fuck me and my friend up.
What's the secret?

Never forghetti

Don't Starve has a story mode.

Prettymuch this
There doesn't feel like there's all that much too it after the initial grind.
That being said I don't think I ever made it past winter because the forest wall I planted was infested with living trees that wanted to kill me and drove me out of my home into the cold

FUCK, this is the biggest bullshit ever
Why are they a thing?
With low level tech they're basically impossible to kill without dying yourself

>Cant survive the hounds
Literally just stay by beefalo. they fuck up hounds

I don't think I've ever seen a single video of this game. Sometimes I'm convinced it doesn't even exist and it's actually just some in-joke like lostboy.exe.

DST was fun for a while. I found one optimal strategy for survival and burnt myself out on the game. I could make it more interesting if I deliberately gimped myself, but I just don't like doing that if I know better.

All you have to do is make a spear and a logsuit. Hell, you don't even need a logsuit if you know how to kite.

i don't even know how to progress, played numerous time in the past and i always just stop once i get that weird early machine to built shit which require ressources i never seen ever in the game.
basically literally surviving on seeds, rabbit meat and berries, just spending all days in-game surviving instead of exploring

It's alright, everyone gets KNOTTED by the hounds on their first few tries before understanding how to kite and survive them properly.

Is that literally all you need? So you just attack them? I gave up like two years ago after trying a few runs but maybe i'll pick it back up thanks

Yes, the whole point of the hounds is that you kill them. A limited number of them spawn every time they attack. The amount of hounds that attack you depends on how long you've been in-game.

You don't even need that. just find a horde of beefalo to set up base by, and when the hounds come just stay in the horde, they'll agro and kill the hounds for you.

Just googled this, wish I hadn't
Fuck everything

I like the other game this company made, Oxygen Not Included
can't get into Don't Starve at all

This game is a roller-coaster of emotions going from super comfy to ABSOLUTE PANIC on a dime.

No, but pretending you like it makes you look smart.

>dude what if we take the hunger mechanic from games and make a whole game around it?
What were they thinking? It the least comfy game i ever played

If I didn't know this was originally a C&H comic I'd swear it was Loss

Kite them to a beefalo herd and run around it constantly. Hounds stop and start to bark after chasing you for around 30 seconds then agro the nearest creature; which will be the beefalo which agros the entire herd onto them. Or kite them into the tentacles in a swamp. Or just craft a spear, pigskin helmet and log suit and kill them immediately. The first wave only spawns like 4 and one at a time; you can kill them just as another spawns if you just rush them immediately. Or go craft a bush helmet and hide when you hear the growling. The magic of Dont Starve are there are countless ways to deal with any problem.

You didn't play the game at all
Starvation is the least of your concerns in Don't Starve

He was a reminder of white colonialism, and that still triggers browns for some reason.

I have about 15 hours in it and man is it a boring game. I feel like everything is going so fuckin slow and I dont even know why. Only reason I even have 15 hours is cause I played with a friend and dieing in the first 3 days over and over again learning the ropes was fun. Once we reached the point that winter was no risk of death waiting around we quit.

>Volcano season in Shipwrecked
Almost every single time I nope out of that season over to a RoG world and work to get back after the season is over. Volcano season is hell, especially if you haven't found the Volcano yet to appease it.

That statement they made makes absolutely no godddamn sense, considering that even fucking resetera was fine with him and even complained he was removed The only thing I find wrong with him is his bright ass orange skin compared to the others who are different shades of white and grey.
They probably made the statement for Brownie points after they were going to put him away for other reasons.
Thankfully you can still re-enable him with a console command

It fun. Wendy and WX-78 are kind of broken since Wendy you can have Abigail tank everything for you early on the WX can survive off spoiled food and upgrade himself to do way more damage than others.

>Chase him away from my bushes
>Plant down berries
>He tunnel visions to the dropped berries so hard I can thwack him in the head with anything and he wont do shit
>Free turkey dinner

I'd plant a berry bush field after that and set tooth traps all throughout it and collect food that way.

I like it, but the game itself is hard to love:

>Need a wiki to even play
Fuck this. The game doesn't have any way to know which materials are useful. You have to keep picking stuff and craft random items that might not even be useful at the moment.
>Time limit before the game decides to kill you
You have seven in-game days to set up a base before the dogs come and kill you, so a new player will lose here a few times and lose all progress
>Exploring is hard
Between limited inventory slots and winter/summer not allowing you to travel around the map you can't do much
>Have to decide between surviving or discovering more items
It's really stupid how the game itself makes it hard for you to reach the endgame stuff since it gets harder as time goes on
>Not much to do
After spending the first 30 days doing a lot of stuff, there isn't much after that so it gets boring when it should become interesting

Even today I still don't know half of the items and crafting stations since the game's learning curve is harsh. I'm all for dying a million times if I'm going to learn how to play, but deleting the process every time is just not worth it.
I'd stick with Terraria for now, even its expert mode feels challenging and not so cheap. There are bosses, you loot them, get stuff, explore caves, farm items, build bases and when you're starting to feel confident Hard Mode comes and a fucking unicorn kills you.

the game won't tell you, but you need to be close to beefalo and pigs. they will kill the hounds for you

I've put hundreds of hours into it and I really don't know if I like it or not. I wish it gave you a little more time to breathe, I always feel like I'm wasting time if I'm not prepping this or harvesting that.
Also Hamlet is pretty eh but it gave us some cool megabase stuff. Still prefer to live in SW or RoG though because fuck fog.

Or you just kite them
Bait a bite, hit twice and back off
Hounds are really only dangerous in huge packs or when a pack of blue/red hounds drops in and stunlocks you/sets everything you have on fire

In the earlier versions of the game I think you didn't really need a wiki, the trial and error and learning what the mechanics were pretty fun, but right now its bloated with so many mechanics and subsystems that a wiki is pretty essential.

I'm talking about the very first time you do a blind run. That's about an hour and half of playtime being thrown to the garbage thanks to some noob filter, and even after that the idea of limiting your first camp to whenever beefalo or pigs are near is annoying.

>african explorer
>triggering browns
are you pretending to be retarded on purpose?

I'm talking about pre RoG. Even then I ended up wasting resources on magic stations and items I couldn't use. If today is worse then I'm dropping the game for good.

The very first time you do a blind run you will most likely die to Charlie from pitch darkness. You learn from this by exploring your crafting options and reading your character's prompts to acquire a light source. Same thing for the Hounds. You look in your crafting options and see there are options for armor and weapons. Even a grass suit can be used to tank an early hound attack.

You just have to actually look through what the game gives you.

I was using Willow, so Charlie didn't get me. I tried to fight the Hounds, but ended up being stunlocked (I had taken some damage before thanks to spiders)

How do you waste items on magic stations? You need to actually deliberately gather the materials for a Prestihatitator, and then you need to know exactly where and when to acquire the materials for a Shadow Manipulator, much less crafting the Thulecite stuff at an Ancient Pseudoscience Station.

Well that's why, you were using a character with different mechanics than normal. Most people are going to start with Wilson, and they should anyway. Starting with Willow won't teach you your fear of the dark, or fear of fire.

The game eventually just becomes about farming beefalo for food, there's nothing else to do. More building options would've been nice so you can build an actual base instead of just some glorified campsite.

I wasn't sure it was a magic station or what could I do with it, that's the thing. I felt the game was stuck and decided to make a new item, but it wasn't a good idea, after all
Willow and Wilson are the entry-level characters, didn't realize there was much difference

>He doesn't dig down into the Ruins

Walani a best
Her lack of perks and increased hunger aren't even an issue, it's her casual attitude that sells me on playing her.

There seems to be a massive content gap between being able to comfortably survive and being able to kill bosses
I've gotten to day 40 multiple times with little idea of what to do next because bosses are still way too strong to fight but I've crafted pretty much every item in the game.

That's not together user

ah, the perfect twist

learn 2 kite or hire pigmen to help

>Deerclops
Lead him into the swamp, or put him to sleep and ring the bell to make the giant foot stomp on him
>Moose/Goose
You can kite him without too much difficulty. They also don't hunt so aren't too much a problem. The real threat are the Moslings.
>Dragonfly
Make him eat ash to put him asleep, then kill him with gunpowder. DO NOT ENRAGE HIM OR EVERYTHING YOU SEE WILL BE DESTROYED
>Bearger
Kite him

That's not content that's exploits.

>Make him eat ash to put him asleep
how the fuck was I supposed to know that?

You watch him. Dragonfly starts little fires and then sucks up the resulting ash afterwards, then goes to sleep once he's eaten enough. So you lead him on with your own ash piles, then cut off his head. Bearger also will fall asleep if it eats 10 units of honey too, which is a bear stereotype and so should be general knowledge, or just by watching him.

What? Kiting is literally how all combat in the game works, that isn't an exploit. You can kill the deerclops with nothing but a spear if you get gud at kiting.

good concept and artstyle, combat is totally horseshit, even in the fucking expansion that focuses all around bosses they couldn't be assed to update it, becomes a slog very quickly i'd give it a second chance but i deleted it from my steam account after happened

based and saved

>Collect two full stacks of light bulbs
>Collect 4 monster meat
>Find a lone Pigman
>Drop both stacks of light bulbs
>Give Pigman the monster meat
>Once he turns into a Werepig watch him chow through both stacks, then run away
>Come back the next day when his transformation has cooled off to collect your 80 free manure
>With this, turn your farm into a restaraunt

Any tips on killing Mermen? I'd love to set up shop near Fishing Mermen houses but I can never get rid of the damn hostile ones to do it. Monkey invasion perhaps?

>not killing him the second he finishes making manure for two meat and a pigskin
>using manure for farms
this place is full of plebs

no, its fedoracore

It seemed neat, but after playing for an hour or two I felt like I'd seen everything there was to see.

>Killing the Pigman and having to wait for him to respawn when you can bring back more monster meat any time for more manure farming or use him as emergency help in an attack
Don't cook your golden goose.

>using manure for farms
Then what would you recommend I use for farming?

I like the game but it's been pretty hard on me since I'm new. I've been playing DST with someone who is familiar with it and they often get frustrated at my incompetency. What are some general beginner things I should know so that I at least know what I should be doing or better yet, how to figure out what I should be doing

They respawn after a couple of days.

Beehives.
Monkeys are a pretty good option, but you'll probably end up wanting to genocide them too afterwards unless you're playing Wilbur.

The winter ain't shit, it's summer that's a fucking BITCH

>chests randomly catch fire
>berry bushes all burn down
>can't take a shit without overheating

1. Secure your own food source. Nobody likes it when you have to beg them to supply you with food. People can be nice and do it, but it can be hard to supply food for 3-4 people at once.
2. Craft some weapons and armor so you can defend yourself. Nobody likes having to chase a friend around because he cant deal with the two Hounds on his back.
3. Secure your own light source. This one's a given.
4. If it's a specific season, figure out what you should be doing to prep for it. In winter make some warm clothes. In spring make an umbrella or rain gear. In summer make cool clothes and endothermic fire pits. In fall you don't have to worry so much.
5. When choosing your character, try to work off their perks. Wigfrid for instance can craft strong armor, weapons, and heals and regains sanity off combat and eating meat. Very easy to play as, and very helpful for a team because you can supply them with quick, inexpensive defenses. Wickerbottom relies on her higher crafting tier, plus her spellbooks, which take some time to craft.

Here's some tips
>Don't settle down for the first couple of days, you have plenty of time to explore before winter
>For real though, explore and find out what biomes and resources are available to you
>Have enough resources to build a firepit, a science machine and an alchemy engine before you settle somewhere
>Save up seeds, as they're less perishable than berries
>Only take as many berries as you need to make yourself full
>Cooked green mushrooms and blue mushrooms are an easy source of sanity restoration
>Find gears an icebox ASAP
>Find a way to contribute resources/food to the base, because everyone hates freeloaders
>Don't use jerky in crockpot recipes

>Beehives.
Beehives are a massive investment that I don't always want to do, especially since I need to secure a lot of silk for nets and beekeeper hats, while it's a very cheap process for mass-producing manure, which can be used for a wide variety of things and keeps me supplied with dragonfruit pies.

If you're too early to set up beehives then I'd just as soon hunt and jerkify koalefants and move a couple of berry bushes for easy meatballs. But to each their own.

Honey has the advantage of basically never spoiling once you get it into a fridge and gives you a range of great crockpot recipes. You'd probably want to pick Webber if you want to become a honey farmer for easy silk.

I have a friend who does. I tried it and metaphorically shrugged.
Seems ok, but not for me.

I used to do that and then too many times I'd get a Varg or an Ewecus and I stopped going after them unless I was really desperate for food. I will agree that Meatballs are supreme though.

One thing I used to do was mass capture like 10 bees and release them freely, and they'd populate my land with flowers. My idea was to have them mass spread evil flowers or collect all the flowers during a full moon, but a bug seems to have stopped them from spreading flowers and that was never fixed, so I didn't honey farm as much. Has that been patched since?

Thanks Anons. I was playing as Webber who has less max sanity and I often find myself struggling to find sanity through flowers or using other people's beeboxes for honey to make taffy.

You can make flowers by planting butterflies btw. The flowers will then spawn more butterflies and improve bee farms

I would not start off as Webber, since his perks rely on him making huge spider nests and that doesn't mesh well with anyone except other Webbers or sometimes Wigfrids, unless you make your nest far enough away so the spiders aren't a threat to your friends and you can trade. Also, Pigmen will hate you, so living near vilalges isn't an option with him.

Yeah, I don't play much DST, but Webber doesn't really synergize well with other characters since he's all about spiders and spiders are aggressive to everyone but him. I'd recommend Maxwell if you're worried about your sanity but his health is pretty low and you might end up just being the guy who chops wood for the rest of the gang.

I find warly to be a nice pace since he's got a big stomach and a free backpack, and you can ignore the downsides if you just rotate your food properly with meatballs every other day.
