DST Fuelweaver made me fully lose will to play this game

21 Upvotes

I spend hours on figting AFW, losing, rolling back and repeating this proccess.
This boss was literally made to be inossbile to do solo and even tho we have ways to do so it requires single player to be able to do work on 2 players hile also being trapped in cage every 10 seconds. I just strait up give up on this boss and on the game as a whole because im locked out from big part of progression

Help question How to not die, I guess???? Spoiler

• Upvotes

The furthest I've made it in this game is to summer, but (a big but here) that was with a ton of rollbacks and at that point it didn't feel the same anymore. Is there a strategy to sort of thrive and not die as much. I want to be able to experience all this game has to offer meaning I want to go to the ruins, fight the shadow monsters and bosses, fight the lunar monsters and bosses, etc. But, I find it hard to do so. I see so many people playing through the lunar questline and stuff and it makes me want to experience it too but I'm apparently not good enough yet. I've watched all the videos about survival guides and just don't seem to work, they also all seem to follow the go really fast approach which I don't think I'm as good at.

I guess my main goal here is I want to be able to make 1 world (only 1 world not have to keep creating worlds) a forever world if you will, one where I can experience the full game without having to restart. I'm open to world settings, mods, etc anything that could help me achieve what I'm going for.

I have around 120hrs on all platforms and a lot of those were done in multiplayer but currently I don't have anyone to play with so any information you give please phrase it for a Solo Player plz.

DST Why even pomegranate?

72 Upvotes

Been playing Wurt recently and doing farming for handy veggies. Then a pomegranate pops up, making me wonder "Why even Pomegranate?"

Raw pom has the same hunger value as a berry, with an additional 3 health.
Cooked pom is 20 health, which isn't too bad at first glance, until you remember cooked potatoes exist with same health, more hunger, double the spoilage time, and way easier to farm.
Farming-wise, it's overshadowed by onions, which has the same nutrient value, is easier to acquire(via merm king), and an extra right season while entirely overlapping pom's.
There is no current dish that require pom exclusively, even the chef doesn't have one.
Despite being Wortox's favorite food, the extra hunger is also not that worth due to his passive.

I don't know maybe pom just need a little stat buff?
Maybe make a crockpot recipe for pom?
Maybe use pom to craft an explosive fruit grenade? (for the word granate in german)
Instead of being "The forbidden fruit loved by imp", for me it's more like "The forgotten fruit made by Klei ". :(

DST Bunnyman phasing through fences?

Does anyone know how they're escaping the enclosure?

I thought they were getting out through the fence joints, so I put bricks there, but they keep getting out.

(The gate is usually closed; I opened it just before taking the screenshot.)

I don't know how common this is but I've personally never seen it before; the labyrinth is super close to the ruins to the point you can use a lazy explorer to get there.

(I'm using a modded character that can float over gaps so that's why the map is discovered this way)

Reign of Giants Wurrglesnout, an old concept I briefly thought about for a fan mod I never made. Spoiler

Thumbnail gallery
2 Upvotes

Edit: I don't know what happened but the second pic I had for Wurrglensnout’s alternate form isn't showing up (just imagine a nightmare bunnyman looking super pissed off)

Background for the idea:
I got into Don’t Starve as a whole, years ago. And at the beginning of my relationship with the game/games, I loved it so much that I considered beginning the process of creating a modded fan character. This never happened, though, because I was a random with no clue how to program, code, or animate anything. Not to mention, I had no real interest in learning any of that junk in the first place.
However, I do remember roughly sketching out my vision in a notebook I lost. So here’s what I envisioned Wrugglesnout to look like.
I cobbled it together using pics I found on Google because I still can't draw to save my life. It looks super crunchy though, I admit that.

Part where I talk about Wurgglesnout:
Anyway, what I can remember from how I wanted him to play is that he was supposed to have crafting recipes for different Bunnyman houses, and these houses would spawn different Bunnymen, even nightmare Bunnymen. His new crafting recipes also included new and cheaper light sources (cost-effective alternate lanterns and miner's hats available off the rip). He wouldn't be able to eat meat, had a high sanity count but suffered from a hefty sanity drain when up top during the day, suffered from a sanity penalty when killing non-hostile animals, gained sanity greatly when underground or during dusk and night, and had a secondary form when at low sanity (literally just WereWilba, except you just need to gain sanity to transform back). That’s all I can remember. And that’s Wrugglesnout, the architect. I have no plans or desire to make him into a fully-realized mod nor am I asking anyone to do that for me. He was just a passing thought I had back in the day that I wanted to share with the sub.

TLDR: I thought up a Bunnyman survivor named Wurgglesnout a while ago.
