I've been looking for answers to my question, but can't find anything, so I'll put it here with high hopes. Can you get skins if you play alone on a server? I set up my own server and I began to play on it, and I played for a long time, but not drops came from it. I'm not sure if I'm not waiting long enough, or it's just skin criteria. Thanks in advance for the help! #forveralone

The latter. As long as you are online and on a server you will get skins :)

When will don't starve together be coming to XB1? I own the game for Xbox and want to play with friends. Thanks 

This is just a hunch, but if it ever is made for the XB1 it'll be after ANR is done for the PC and then ported for the PS4.

Let's not forget they're also working on 2 other games, Oxygen Not Included and Hot Lava.

So hang on- you don't have to buy a gift because it's already included? Is that how it works? I'm a bit confused. I want to give this to a friend, haven't bought it yet, do I need to buy a gift as well as buying it for me?

EDIT: ok, I think I understand: it comes with the gift. I was confused by the Steam page about it- that didn't mention that you could get the game and the gift as a bundle. But if I'm wrong, feel free to correct me.

Here's a tip: if you want to play in your own client server with more than 6 players you can easily increase that limit with workshop mods. Download "More players!" to increase the limit to up to 12 and "More players+" to go up to 64. They work great as long as your internet can handle it.

I don’t know where to post this and I did not want to create a new topic to get an answer.. so I’m just going to post my question here and hope someone replies-

I am a quiet Gamer.. I keep to myself and I rarely if ever use a headset therefore the problem is other players who use headsets, I WANT to join games and play with people the game is called Don’t Starve Together after all.. but what I DON’T want is to hear what sounds like a hundred 9 year old children all yelling at one another on their headsets & would like to ask Is there a way to turn Microphone chat off completely?? I live in a small house with family members trying to sleep in close proximity to me and my Xbox, I can control the games volume and turn that down to acceptable levels, what I can not seem to control is joining other players worlds or them joining mine and being incredibly LOUD over their mic’s compared to the rest of my games volume settings.

so the TL:DR version- Please Klei for the love of my ears add a option in the Settings menu that let’s me disable ALL players Mic’s so I don’t have to join a game and mute them all manually one by one each time. :(

Thank You.
