If I were to criticize one thing about this video it would be your decision to farm Krampus in the early game as most wouldn't recommend it until the late game. You most likely will want to establish more things such as your base, food supply, seasonal prep, and cave exploration.
Other than that this was a well-put-together video, but to anyone else don't farm Krampus in the early game it's generally not worth it.
A tip about the slurtels, if you attack them with a torch, gain some distance they will explode upon death!
This was honestly a great idea bro, I like how you added more at the end to make this not feel like a repeat. Here’s to hoping this gets out there 🎉
Thanks for the positivity man, lets hope!
I just got back into this game after years, love this kind of content for a good refresher
Thanks. That was a completely different strategy than I've seen others promote and I learned some new stuff. I'll give it a try. Cheers.
Appreciate you. Yea it’s an old game, but it’s nostalgia and is both entertaining and also comforting and helps me sleep. Yes, I will watch the whole thing. Prob a few times.
I've watched your other two Don't Starve Full-Year guides (Shipwrecked & Hamlet) and honestly it's making me consider getting this version even if I have DST
@@phantombuchu It’s totally worth it!
Ancient Guardian: You can put down 2 temp fire pits next to each other. He will get stuck between the two. Then just beat the hell out of him, if you don't have friends to kill him. Good video, Brother!!
Thank you! And great advice for the guardian, those rock lobsters are just too OP to pass up lol
@@polarlotus I always have great advice - it's my job! Now if I could get them to pay me for it.....
Holy shiiiiiiit!!!! You can trap spiders in traps??! And you do not need science machine if you got the alchemy one?? Well f***...i did not know that :D Super guide man, it helped me out A LOT! Been playing this game on and off since before the Reign of Giants came out and STILL i am learning new things :D only once or twice been able to break 100 days and only because i cooked and eaten mandrakes :D
Personally i do not like DST that much but the og game is super fun and i agree that this magnus opum is soooo underrated. Again super guide and an easy new sub :)
Keep up the good work man :)
Glad to hear it helped out! I also made guides on the two other solo DS DLC's (Shipwrecked and hamlet) that are structured just like this one :D
Shiny! :D
I dunno, i usually have a hambat pretty early... and drying racks for pretty much infinite jerky which heals sanity. Which makes the elephant pretty relavant. Also the trunk can be made unto some decent weather protection or cooked for 100% hunger
Nice
Controller gang rise up. I learned a lot from this video thanks for making it
Hey! I invited the guy with the book of suggestions to come play on an open server with us when you get back from dilly dallying!! I know I'm bad too. But try and keep it fun..... This guy is serious. You might just have to stand in the back and watch us two just go at it!! ;-]
Im certainly okay with that lol, theres no bad blood over there! Its just good criticism!
@@polarlotus Just talking with him - he's kewl
I guess we all have our own style of playing. Pro Tip: pick 40 flowers at the start. Gives you rot to fertilize grass come day 7. You're getting good at this editing thing. Liking it!! ;-]
Pro Tip: Get a bug net before first moon. Come full moon, collect 10 fireflies. Now you can make a Miner's Hat. Light problems solved. Light bulbs refuel the hat. Light bulbs rot. Fireflies don't. Save fireflies for emergencies...
You didn't run Bearger!! Come on! He's the best lumberjack ever!!
Thats what makes this game so awesome, there really is no “wrong” way to play it besides ways that very obviously get you killed lol
@@polarlotus Love it! Love that we can gather here and laugh together. Laughter is a special thing...
@@polarlotus Don't let that other guy get to you! You did great. Let's see if the "Book Maker" comes and plays with us. I don't think he meant bad. Just bad choice of words. Knows his game!! Now smile!! ;-]
No Crankymen bothering you tonight!! Hey, I was just stretching wings, and you was there!!! ;-]
I'll set up an open server when you get back. Unless you want to do it. I got good connection and computer here. Up to you. You can still stream. Let me know when you get back. And don't forget! Have fun or I'm really going to troll you!!
As soon as I get back i definitely would not mind that! Although I haven’t played DST since oceans came out, so it will certainly be a learning experience for me lol
@@polarlotus I haven't played in awhile either. Be fun for all of us. Damn Medieval Dynasty!!
you should do a boss tutorial
Great idea! Maybe when I am done with all the seasons + DLC Ill go through and do a full boss battle guide!
A 3 world video would be kewl. ROG, Hamlet, Shipwrecked. Going between the 3 worlds. Widely expands the game. Prob a lot of people that don't know you can do this...
Another Pro Tip: Make a lightning rod before Spring!! Gonna lose your base sooner or later.....Lightning sucks.. just saying... ;-]
Ahhh, you finally put a lightning rod down!! You got lucky!! ;-]
Thats what im working on! With the shipwrecked footage I am going to start getting a shipwrecked guide down after my break! And then I will have to stream hamlet to get that footage too!
@@polarlotus SWEET!! Enjoy your break Brother!!
Is this that "Cult of The Lamb"???
This is not Cult of The Lamb, that's a different game, This is Don't Starve :)
@@polarlotus Looks like the exact same pattern and structure of computer animation in both games (which is why I assumed that at first).
It's crazy how people still make guides for a 10 year old game
It may be old, but its still one of my favorite games! Im just glad theres still some people who enjoy it :)
Same!! I adore this game! Always play it with my high school friends on steam! Old memories 🥰🥰❤️🥹🥹❤️
And we still do time to time even now 🥰❤️❤️🥹we are getting old lol 😂hahaha
just shows how the devs put in so much passion
geyat
This "survival guide" is so bad it makes me want to make my own.
Dude, if you're a noob player just trying to get through a whole year for the first time, crampus farming and wasting time sleeping through seasons are the last thing you need to do.
Here's a list for anyone in the comments who wants to actually learn the game:
1) don't base in the pig village. You will have to deal with obnoxious pigs stealing food, turning to werepigs if you broke their houses or walked away from base before full moon, also you will need to explore caves at some point and if you open the cave near the village, you'll get constantly bothered by bats. Pigs are not great protectors either because most hound attacks and boss fights will happen in the evening or at night when they are hiding. You can fix that issue if you're clever, but that's a late game objective, not early game
2) Here's how to survive hounds:
-Carry two pieces of body armor AND two pieces of head armour. Train yourself to always carry armour, healing items, weapons and fire starting supplies in the body inventory, not your back pack, because you will drop it at the first sign of trouble (or just use a backpack+ mod if you keep forgetting, nobody cares).
-If you can have a hambat made just before hounds arrive, great, you can kill them 9 times out of 10 even in middle game when the attacks are overwhelming. If you don't have s hambat or an equivalently good weapon, lead hounds into the swamp. The tentacles are awake all day and night, just lead hounds into their patches. Another great spot for hound distracting is the killer bee biome. Your character runs fast enough that bees won't get you, but the hounds will get chewed through. Might take a few passes, works every time. Another good idea is to keep a treeguard or three near your base, you can pacify them by planting pinecones in front of them. They kill hounds very easily. Another option is to run to beeffalo, just be careful, you don't want the whole herd to die out or their fur to burn down before you can pick it up. Works best when they have red butts.
If you made base far away from any of these things, dedicate all hounds teeth you get to building tooth traps. Choose a spot far enough away from base that fire won't spread to it. Plop a firepit in the middle and slowly surround it with tooth traps. This way you can survive a hound wave even at night in winter while caught off guard.
3) must have items for each season:
-Winter: thermal stone(!!!), biffalo hat (tem-o-shanter if you can get one, it's great for sanity, but if you keep dying to mactusk, it's not a requirement), winter coalophant coat (very easy to get.kill a few spiders for the silk, kill or shave a few beefalo, which you're already going to do for the beefalo hat, kill one winter coalophant which is very easy. Follow suspicious dirt piles untill you find him, wait for night time to put a fire close to him, hit him while he is asleep, either kite or tank him, only takes about 10-15 hits, to get his trunk and 8 big meats.), firepit and crock pot.
-Spring: umbrella(!!!) or eyebrella, lightning rod on base.
-Summer: endothermic fire (precrafted)(!!!), fridge(!!!), thermal stone (you keep one on you, one in the fridge, swap as needed, gunpowder (14), either a pan flute (can be found near glommer sometimes, or crafted from mandrakes) or 40+ ashes. These last two are for the fly. You use pan flute to make it sleep, or drop the ashes near her for the same effect, then blow her up. Easy fireproof chest. Or you can just run away before she notices you and wait for her to despawn. That only works if she didn't spawn right at your base, so make sure to stay at a different location with a precrafted endothermic firepit from day 10 of summer, or be ready to run/wormhole there before she spawns. Another must-have is an ice flingomatic. You don't really need an endothermic firepit at base if you have a fridge.
-Autumn: nothing special is necessary, but if you intend to spend it exploring caves, you can use the summer to harvest honey and make a ton of sanity-restoring foods with it. Look up crock pot recipes.
Appreciate the insight and im glad you commented in such detail, but I am almost certain that in my “where to base” segment I said a place near the pig village NOT in the pig village and as for krampus farming, that was a secondary objective, the bird morsels keep you easily fed throughout winter and give you a goal to get through the boring winter months, also koalaphent is largely useless (lets be real are you ever going to use a chestpiece other than a backpack/krampus sack?) the 8 meat it drops is cool, but not necessary and the chance of a varg or ewecus is too high for a new player and if they get that it will be game over at that stage, you have to think about people brand new to the game dude! My first varg wiped my world, those guys are tough so the advice to just blindy follow a dirt path is awful for someone just starting out thanks to these guys, they may be rare but are not 0%! Go ahead and watch my “100 days winter” livestream if you want proof of being able to survive winter without a puffy vest!
For your spring advice, I said that and way more in my spring segment of the video
For your summer advice, While yes, gunpowder/sleeping work, those are resource intensive tasks, it is far easier to either get d-fly stuck between two campfires/boulders both material-wise and time-wise, or theres the much better option of just running to the nearest wormhole and despawning her since she doesn’t offer anything good from her drops, which I would highly suggest anyone not prepared to fight her do since shes easy to enrage in DS but also easy to despawn and then everything else was covered afaik
And finally, autumn is THE MOST important season, you have lots you have to do to not only prepare for the coming seasons, but also utilize your time in the most mild season, so naturally it had the largest segment, this is a beginners guide, not a min-maxing guide, its not for pros its for people just starting out
While I completely disagree with some of your points and some are just repeats of what I said in the video, thank you for the criticism, it really does help me produce the best content possible
@@polarlotusyes, in fact your entire thing is that you insist the entire winter has to be spent at base because it's too cold to go far. Have you tried beefalo hat+winter coat+warm thermal stone combo? You literally can go anywhere.
@@polarlotusgetting a varg is pretty much impossible in your first winter, plus even if you do, as long as you have armour or know where to bring it you're fine.
@@polarlotusalso, yes, you said some of these things, I don't have an hour long video format - I'm writing a CZcams comment, I physically can't get everything.
The way you described your gameplay was so boring I could cry. My small list of items provides maximum mobility and minimum danger. Which is what survival is. Not crampus farming.
Also, if you think depth worms are less dangerous then hounds, you clearly never had them spawn at the entrance on day 200. I haven't died to hounds once in the last three years, cave worms kill me every fucking time around day 400 when I get careless with armour. Which is why I say you need to carry 2pieces of each.
Nowhere do I insist that winter HAS to be spent at your base, Just showed of one of the many ways to stay productive throughout winter, the glory of this game is that you can play it many ways which naturally will make survival guides wildly different per person, I think farming krampus is a great idea during winter as azure feathers make blowdarts and the meatballs carry you through spring, you can of course disagree with that, but it IS a working method that will guarantee a new players survival, can they make winter gear and adventure during winter? Sure! Do they need to? Not really, besides mactusk theres not a lot of special things outside of your base that winter offers, trust me, it made my 100 days run incredibly tough for the last few days
Im glad you are leaving these comments though, it really points out how amazing this game is, and how many ways it can be played! Every persons journey through the constant is truly unique, but that doesn’t invalidate others play-styles
Nice
