Drakmour Posted December 30, 2014 Share Posted December 30, 2014 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HHZm6qKnixcIt's not my screenshot, just found it, the ideal defend against swarms of giants. Here is the video of this base btw. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rezecib Posted December 30, 2014 Share Posted December 30, 2014 Can confirm, in my 200+ day games I usually made fields like that. You get a lot of teeth if you kill MacTusks regularly in winter. The firepit will get destroyed by the deerclops, though, so you should make a campfire or leave some other light source there instead, at least for that. I usually just run around mine with a torch.

The Letter W Posted December 31, 2014 Share Posted December 31, 2014 Related, did they drop the percentage of which Hounds Teeth drop with it? I've been noticing they're a bit harder to come by in multiplayer. But maybe I just have bad luck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've been noticing they're a bit harder to come by in multiplayer. But maybe I just have bad luck. I noticed the same bad luck/lowered drop. 6+ dead hounds and no teeth makes me sad.

rezecib Posted December 31, 2014 Share Posted December 31, 2014 @The Letter W, @Mysanthil, It's still 1/8 chance to drop a tooth per hound (1 per fire hound, 2 per ice hound). So 6 dead hounds with no teeth shouldn't be unusual (about 45% chance of occurring). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Delannion Posted December 31, 2014 Share Posted December 31, 2014 Personally I haven't had much trouble with the hounds, but I'm a veteran. I remember when starting out it took me a long time to be comfortable handling some of the more 'dangerous' hound attacks such as large numbers, fire hounds, attacks during the night, etc. Like most opponents in the game you tend to either handle them easily or get demolished, and practice is about the only thing that is going to help.

Mimmiroo Posted January 2, 2015 Share Posted January 2, 2015 Yus tooth traps and buildling by beefalo / friendly mobs helps? In the great Spider Pigs war, I was able to survive a 8 hound attack by running around the pigs and tree guard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Speedfreakz Posted January 6, 2015 Share Posted January 6, 2015 Fire hounds are lame in every way if you ask me, they are least creative creatures there. I am not against fire in the base, but there are a millions of ways to implement base catching fire in the game, but no...they said wait we need to burn players base somehow, omg lets just stick the fire on a hound.. LAAAMMEE. They show fast, you dont have much time to react, if you cought in the middle of the base, say good bye to it. I have this tactic where i separate my crops and make wall around it, but that doesnt make up for fire hounds to suck big time. I really hope devs will change this in the future.

matageli Posted January 6, 2015 Share Posted January 6, 2015 After playing this game in single player for what is probably a sickening amount, I would suggest that you guys start off the game right away gathering materials to create a science machine. That way you can build a wood suit and a spear and the swarms of hounds that you encounter won't be so bad. I don't think that the number of hounds was too much, but rather, a fun surprise. I guess I was expecting to see a lot of things transfer from the single player but I wasn't expecting them to enumerate. That was awesome. But there are other things like why can I build a Thermometer or a Heat stone when the rain/heat/snow doesn't affect us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Speedfreakz Posted January 6, 2015 Share Posted January 6, 2015 But there are other things like why can I build a Thermometer or a Heat stone when the rain/heat/snow doesn't affect us. Rain drops down sanity, heat can affect you in ROG dlc. heat stone is cool when using it in combination with thermometer. Basically if on thermometer is 0 the full heat stone will provide you +50-60 C. Sometimes it is cold outside even if there is no snow to show it. EDIT; to add heat stone can also cool you if you place it near the endthermic fire. Also if you have few stones in your inventory you can light up a path at night with them, and you can recharge them which is cool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fire hounds, like many enemies and problems in Don't Starve, are difficult for the inexperienced. Simple solution, don't be in your burnable camp when they spawn. Your character and the hound barking give plenty of warning in DST - I've so far received over a minute warning every attack, even after being alive 80+ days. Second simple solution, don't kill them in your camp. They don't walk in and fall down dead by themselves, unless you put traps/bees/pigs/etc too close. Don't do that. Fire hounds are much more reasonable than lightning, which randomly sets fire to an entire forest. I don't put a lightning rod in every forest I see. I don't mind lightning, just saying that fire hounds are fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ralgrad Posted January 7, 2015 Share Posted January 7, 2015 Smallest amount of lag and its impossible to kill anything in this game without getting hit/dying Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PetRic999 Posted May 4, 2015 Share Posted May 4, 2015 So how much health do these DST hounds have? Just wondering because I know it's more than single player hounds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarkXero Posted May 4, 2015 Share Posted May 4, 2015 @PetRic999, you remember wrong, they have the same amount of health.And the damage to monsters is the same as single player. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leonseye Posted May 4, 2015 Share Posted May 4, 2015 Why not just turn Hound attacks / mounds to Less or None? For many players, the Hounds are just fine, and options exist to lessen their impact for those who feel they are too much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
