Making it playable for more 'wimpy' casual gamers


Recommended Posts

I love the concept of don't starve, I have played it for endless amounts of hours, but I genuinely want to be able to play and be able to unlock and build and figure out all the great things that the game has to offer, unfortunately I can't. Dying to a frog is funny, but when you want to actually progress it's hard to let go to your little settlement and start again 20x over. 

 

I would like a way to just be able to have health not go down, a very very easy mode for very very rage quitty people like me. Infinite health with no depletion. Please. 

 

I would also appreciate it if no one writes a horrible comment on how 'it'll ruin the game', I know it's not the ideal way to play the game, as it wasn't made to be easy and happy go lucky, and if nothing is done about it then that's fair enough, since that's not what the game is about. But I can't be the only one who wants to play without dying constantly. I have tried god mode, but I wanted one only for health. 

 

If I could make a mod I would! Even if there was a game mode labelled as 'wimp mode' I would still click it with a smile on my face. 

 

Thank you

You can always start a game with settings that will work in your favor, such as lots of resources. Though mind that no settings can be altered for the caves and ruins and certain settings that look good end up disastrous for gameplay.

 

The mod Compromising Survival might also be of use to you. I used it to get the hang of the basics myself before facing the game the regular way. The benefit of Compromising Survival is that it lets you pick what happens upon death. Do you die as you should, do you reload the last save, or do you resurrect at the spot or at the base? It's a great tool to balance learning the game and playing it as it's meant to.

I like your idea, but lets be honest its not gonna happend. If you have truble playing the game you should try to watch a walktrough on youtube or maybe try to join a streamer play dont starve together. Dont starve together is a good way to learn the game. If you go into a random server there are quite often skilled players that could help you. Im not saying your suggestion is dumb, but I dont think its gonna happend. I wish you luck.

I doubt you'll have any fun at all playing the game if you can't die at all. The combat system would lose all meaning!

 

How about placing a few extra Touch Stones when starting a new game and playing the game normally after that? I think you just need to open the console and type c_spawn("resurrectionstone", 1)

 

That way you get an advantage but the game stays challenging. If you follow this idea, though, don't forget that dying still carries a big penalty, so watch out for your health. And don't forget to leave resources near the Touch Stones, or else you'll be in trouble when you respawn during the Winter!
