Alternatively, the oasis in the middle of the wasteland provides cooling when the summer heat razes the land to the ground. Most players will either plant their bases next to the Pig King who is protected by his subjects and can be expanded as a source for gold and protection. Fire is always first so one doesn’t die from the lethal monster that strikes in darkness, then, of course, food foraged along the way as you explore and fill your map. So you’ve found a server and chosen your character, well the first thing you want to do is collect all the resources you can for crafting and base building. There’s also a swath of less bizarre human characters for more grounded players each with some special craftables and features to diversify them. There’s a lot of room for player expression both through community workshop mods adding custom content and official cosmetic items and characters that can be unlocked with gameplay. Strongmen swell to immense muscle mass and a half-digested child herds flocks of spiders all the while a twin sister summons her better half from the dead to cull the nightmares for their precious fuel. The character affinities motivate most of the player’s duties with talking trees farming and were-creature lumberjacks razing the forests down. In that sense many players prefer joining during the autumn days to get as much fun out and time to prepare for the onset of winter. Server as in each world is generated and will continue running so long as it’s open on the hosting device. Each day is 8 minutes, short but 20 days of autumn mean that players will be over 2 and 1/2 hours on a server world. Why is that? Well for starters it’s a really long play session just getting there. What one player stated to me was that the majority of worlds don’t go past early Winter. The main limit to the game so far is that outside of curated groups much of the game is about the joy of building rather than a goal or conclusion.Īs I described in my previous article, Don’t Starve Together is a communal experience, there’s very little to be gained from building alone, most people can off a surplus of food and gathering for other players to use simply for their own pleasure indulging in a task like farming, lumberjacking, or hunting and taking pride in the mass of materials and master of their craft. It has been 2 weeks and I am still playing Don’t Starve Together, provided there has been the Quality of Life update which only makes the crafting menu more cumbersome although potentially more navigational. In Don’t Starve Together Nothing Escapes the Wrath of Time
