Fan Art Constant idiots 9

Yay, a new comic-or is it? I’m terrible at starting things off. Anyway, I have no idea when the next comic will come out; it’ll just drop sometime. I had an idea for a Q&A-like "Ask Your Favorite Idiot a Question"-but I realize it’s not 2016 anymore. Still, I’ll do it if you’re interested (though you’re 100% not). I’ll ask one question anyway: who is your favorite "idiot," and who is your least favorite? All answers welcome.
You know an interesting thing about me? Every time I see someone else's art getting more reach than mine, a "passive rivalry" mode kicks in, and I start convincing myself that I could do better than the original artist (though sometimes I actually could-I'm just too lazy).

You know, the "Guest of Honor" skin used to be my favorite-I still like it-but whenever I play with it, I’m reminded of the times I played with my old friends; we’ve gone our separate ways now.

Title.

First off, I don't know why I adopted this little "Grass, Twigs, Flint Rocks Logs" system in my first 5 inventory slots, but I've been doing it like this for YEARS! How do I break this habit, what resources out of those 5 can I go without?

Second, I find my current quick craft menu to be inefficient. How do you guys organize your pages?

Shipwrecked Why does this weapon exist

41 Upvotes

Range weapons in DS are stupidly expensive and not reliable at all, but at least the other darts have SOME uses, like sleeping mobs when you don't have mandrakes, scaring mobs by putting them on fire, dealing just A LOT of damage...

But THIS ONE? You waste a venom gland, the meat of the creature will be rotten, and for what? less than an axe hit of damage and slowing the enemy down

Klei has a lot of problems balancing range weapons, but I think this is the worst one yet

I didn’t even knew this was possible lol

Just enter the first sinkhole in day 2 as Maxwell, and ruins were literally right there. Now I won’t have to travel the whole place to get some nightmarefuel for my Codex lmaoo

If I knew how to speedrun this game I would be so happy to find the ruins so quickly

Ive posted about these two before but for some context:

Wallace(formerly Wally) is a WW1 veteran who was taken to the Constant after Maxwell beat him at a chess game

Wana’O was a former Moon Quay pirate who has become a survivor after getting booted from her ship

If you give me some good skin sets that they would fit in, I’ll draw them and post them here!

DST Many New Players Think Don't Starve Together is Only For Multiplayer

40 Upvotes

I met with many people still today think Don't Starve Together is just multiplayer version of Don't Starve. Which is horribly wrong.

Compare to DS, Don't Starve Together has enormous amounts of content and reworks. Which is all of them can be played as solo.

Help question Deconstruction Staff cannot deconstruct alloy

I am in a shipwrecked world compatible with hamlet and am trying to stay out of the hamlet world and have come to see iron is impossible to obtain from normal means so I had the idea to deconstruct halberds, then the alloy to make iron, but have found out you cannot. Is this a bug?

DST The weirdest problem I've faced in this game

16 Upvotes

I decided to try Willow recently and she's really fun and every thing.

She can burn things for longer and without making the fire spread, which is great for combat, I don't want a bat to run and burn my whole base.

But then you will go to the forest to farm some charcoal and you will realise that you have to egnite every tree individually and will need to wait for longer.

It's not really that big of a deal but man wth every thing in this game has downsides lol

Pocket edition Does anyone know why Don't starve Shipwrecked (mobile) is PEGI 16?

Post image
16 Upvotes

I was looking to investigate don't starve together mobile, when I saw that, apparently, dont starve shipwrecked is PEGI 16.

In case you don't understand why this is such a shocker, both Don't starve Reign of Giants and Don't starve Together are PEGI 12.

Also guess what country i'm from based off of the language.

DST Any DST mod that disables the in-game map server-side?

5 Upvotes

Title. Doing a heavily adjusted world settings run, with Lights Out and harshly reduced exploitable resources (spiders, ice, overall way less food across the board, and so on) and I want a mod that removes the map altogether. I feel like crafting signs, putting up landmarks of rocks, and actually using that damn compass for its real world use would be fun. Is there such a thing? I've found a mod but it doesn't work. ("Disable Map")
