I thought you were referring to the glowing lightbulb plants, not-pigs, eyeball plants and boss monsters.
I completely forgot the only reason I find Don't Starve and Together fun is because there's a wiki that autists spend hundreds of hours playing, documenting and modding numbers onto the UI to make the game playable. Oh and modding out the rabbit king until Klei added an official button to do it (or did they? I don't remember).

Anon, I played it.
I put oil in my cooling loop. I saw the benefits of a low freezing point, high conductivity, high density material.
Do you know why that's wrong?
Because the cooling machine uses the same amount of electricity to cool 5kg of oil as it does 5kg of water 10 degrees.
Does the game tell you it's breaking the laws of thermodynamics here whilst trying to emulate them elsewhere? Not really.
Is this a necessary concept to play a save for longer than 5 hours? Yes.

And the strangest part is if you have shit and piss in your water, it improves its qualities in a cooling loop. I shit you not. Because apparently faecal impurities only improve water's qualities, like the Ganges. Though not salt. Saltwater is worse, especially if it's brine.

Thank you for being the crab in the bucket I mentioned though.

I still have a soft spot for Don't Starve even though I got sick of actually playing the game years ago.

It's annoying, everything's a damage sponge, it needs mods and a wiki to be playable and the base building is dogshit, so there's nothing to motivate you to keep going, but I'm a sucker for lorebait and the characters are fun.

>>736742239
When I saw the trailer I thought it was some kinda Diablo clone with the Don't Starve license.
Like Minecraft Dungeons.
But the website says it's still survival, exploration, crafting and what not.

So is this Don't Starve 3? (DST is technically a sequel to the single player game story-wise)

I like the graphical improvements. The more 3D world is nice, I saw swimming in there, that's cool.
I am a bit concerned on which characters will be in this game though. We've only seen Wilson, Wendy, Willow, and WX.
Now I'm fine if not every character returns. That's probably a good thing, even. I don't think anyone is out here dying to play as Wilbur or Wurt. But I hope they aren't planning to force the audience to pay to unlock people like Wolfgang, Wigfreid, or Webber.

>And the strangest part is if you have shit and piss in your water, it improves its qualities in a cooling loop. I shit you not. Because apparently faecal impurities only improve water's qualities, like the Ganges
Waste water's "benefit" is it's wider range of temperatures at which it doesn't change states, regular water is good enough and it has the added benefit of pissing off (no pun intended) the autistic retards you're complaining about.

Same with the AETN or non-potted wheezeworts. There's a lot of depth to the game that is fortunately barely explored by the playerbase.

>>736743683
I doubt they'll stop supporting DST immediately once this game comes out, but I think Klei probably wants to move on from a game they've been making for like 12 years.

That's weird. I thought this was a DLC for Together when I saw other players but it's a completely new game and the steam page says it's single-player with the option to invite friends over.

I dunno how to feel about it. Kinda wish they just ported Shipwrecked and expanded upon that.

Sorry then. Maybe make both player and enemies being able to attack while moving, just being slower when attacking but not completely stopping, that would definitely change the current kiting slop. Maybe make enemy attacks angled instead of 360 AoE. Maybe give some limited dash to the player. Maybe completely rework the armor system so players could actually take hits instead of kiting being literally the only effective form of combat.
It's really hard to tell from the get go, it needs a lot of testing to see how any changes would work at practice, that's why I'm saying they had 13 years to figure that out but all they figured out is how to sell cosmetics.
At the very fucking least (wouldn't fix shit but still would be better than nothing) they could've added telegraphs, but somehow I doubt they will do even that.

Don't Starve was fun by yourself.
What are the chances of Elsewhere being fun by yourself?
it seems like ever since Together they went all in on pandering to and focusing on multiplayer.

don't starve together is a good multiplayer game, but it suffers immensely from bad netcode and esoteric game design decisions. some subtle changes would still benefit the game greatly.

So is it another live service game or devs actually gonna add expansions and shit

>>736755071
no way. just grab some berry bush and plant them at base, retard. Not efficient but i never starved. Before i figured that you can farm the pigmen houses LMAO

not every game is going to be a live-service game like fortnite.
don't starve 1 was designed as a singleplayer game. they literally needed to remake most of the codebase to make multiplayer work in don't starve 2.

it's going to be the exact same for don't starve 3 because of how much of a performance and netcode mess don't starve 2 was. the game is in desperate need of being remade because of how bad the lag compensation is in don't starve 2.


don't starve 2 is also suffering from a bunch of content bloat that most players won't experience. i doubt 99% of people who played it have even encountered celestial champion.
it would most definitely benefit from a fresh take.

I want to enjoy Don't Starve, but it's a straight wiki game and those games are gay.

>>736758270

>>736758021
Playing solo one time I got to the moon and was able to summon the champion, but then stopped because fighting DST bosses solo is a ballache that I try to avoid as much as possible. Made a pretty cool base though. Let me go get a picture of it, I think I still have it.

>>736750479
together is fun by yourself. it's just not as easy as don't starve 1 because the bosses require you to strategize and engage in combat for extended periods of time.
some characters like webber, winona, wurt, wickerbottom, etc, will trivialize most bosses given enough prep time.

that being said, just find a friend to play with. it's probably one of the funnest co-op games out there if both players have the same skill level and ambition.

How do you keep petrol engines cool in ONI?
I don't have it running 24/7 and I don't like steam baths but it feels like to water cool it I'm using up most of the electricity it's outputting, and then I need to use the remainder on refining the petrol in the first place, whilst gas is free energy in comparison, and even SPOMs are free energy to the point where I'm considering venting oxygen to space just to keep making hydrogen

He has the highest health of all giants and needs around 60-90 clicks to be made horizontal depending on a weapon you might not be able to source reliably, and then the host's ping can make it very tedious, even dangerous, like all giants

not in dst. dragonfly has 27.5k hp.
bearger isn't that hard compared to most of the bosses in dst. they get much harder as you progress.
latency difference is a genuine issue though. i hope they fix it in dont starve 3.

>Wooow, wasting food and pigskin instead of getting tentacle spikes?
you making a ton of helmets or something? you're also supposed to use monster meat for meatballs to solve your hunger issue.
hambats are incredibly useful if you can make them because you don't have to worry about carrying extra weapons for the durability.

>>736760984
it doesn't, but it reduces the durability loss in both your armor pieces.
it's not that useful of a combo earlygame though. you'll freeze quickly without an insulation piece anyways.

>not in dst. dragonfly has 27.5k hp.

Nobody likes fighting Dragonfly. Most people I know just give him a wide berth in the desert.

>>736761296
i think it's only fun with at least 2 players, which is why i think it's one of the best co-op games out there. you genuinely need teamwork and group preparation to overcome most of the challenges in this game. it's not just a singleplayer game with multiplayer added onto it.

if you don't have the numbers, you have to make up for it with game knowledge and lots of prep. characters like wort can make it easier, given enough time. but you'll have to farm a bunch of resources for your minions first.
