Twists of the future Don't Starve Together lore?

[Pop Guy]

 

I had fun imagining an unexpected twist for the Don't Starve Together lore. I don't know how plausible it is, not much I fear. But I would gladly play an soviet cosmonaut as a new character :'D

"Yesterday in the sky a aurora borealis appeared: mastodontic, iridescent, we remained to look at it for amazed hours, while Wilson was striving trying to give an explanation to the absurd phenomenon. Then a star fell from the skies: it was made of incandescent metal, with a symbol on it that greatly disturbed some of us: a scythe and a hammer surmounted by a red star.
Wolfgang explained to me that this was the symbol of a labor and political movement in his native country, Russia. But why he was on a metal star, or why he had come to the Constant, he just couldn't answer me"

"For days now, metal stars have been falling: at least one a night. We have set up shifts to constantly monitor the sky: the last thing we want is for a piece of incandescent metal to rain from above, ending our suffering.
Wilson and Winona started to open some of the stars: inside there are very sophisticated circuits, neither of them was able to tell what they could serve.
We are facing some extraordinary celestial machine, however. I fear the world has changed profoundly since I ventured into these lands. It all seems so alien... however that aurora borealis must be a sort of gash, of portal with our world, otherwise this rain of Soviet debris cannot be explained"

"We found a man in one of the metal stars: he was wearing a strange suit of an unknown material.
When we pulled him out he was still alive, even if he senseless. He had a disturbing mask to breathe on his face.
While he was resting beside the fire in a state of convalescence, Wolfgang tried to translate some writing on the suit for us: unfortunately he could not say why the word "Greeting Program" was written on it.
We have also found a map of the world with new and bizarre states over it: we have discovered that the world is now divided into two large blocks, the United States and the Soviet Union. We begin to fear something terrible has happened: Wigfrid continues to talk about how they are all signs of the imminent arrival of Ragnarok. We only hope that when the "Greeting Man" recovers he will know how to give us explanations"

"The "Greeting Man" regained consciousness for less than ten minutes yesterday morning: few, but when it was enough for Wolfgang to ask him some questions in their language: when they finished talking, Wolfgang was upset: he told us that the man was delirious of an apocalyptic catastrophe, of the use of super-weapons that would have made the earth a barren and invincible pit of fire.He described scenarios of rare horror, smoke mushrooms that rose in the sky under their celestial ship, until the moment in which he had fallen.
Since yesterday there is a strange atmosphere here. So far we have always resisted in these lands hoping to return home one day. Now maybe there is no longer a home to go back to.
Willow is the only one who seems calm: when she discovered that the world had ended up in the flames she shrugged. "It was not a beautiful world" she merely said.
Dear Abigail, if you can hear my thoughts, right now I'm thinking about the great drawing of things: is there a reason behind your premature death? Is there a reason why I find myself in these lands of mystery? Has anyone wanted me to survive the end of the world in another world? Strange entities move beyond the veil of reality that we can see with our inadequate senses. Here, in the presence of the unlimited curve of existence, I feel a profound sense of smallness and misery. All my life seems to me little more than an illusion, inside me I feel already dead"

DST time period is pretty much like in the 20s so I really don't think that's possible... at least for now...

At the beginning yes, but we know that time in Constant, however different, continues to flow. Maxwell doesn't seem to have aged that much since the early 1900s, and in theory we should have had Warbucks still alive, a British colonialist from the first Victorian era!  

My impression is that in the Constant's time flows faster than in our world: what if we had actually already arrived in 1945 or later? Is it so unthinkable that a nuclear conflict broke out in the our world? :'D

(However, a "post-atomic" skin set would be really cool)

ofc the "real world" keeps spinning but the characters in the Constant don't have any contact with the innovations and progress there.

Like Wortox as Klei mentioned. He could be like creature who already existed in that worl and was born maybe his lore gonna be but the other main characters were taken to the world.

Wortox was confirmed to be noncannon, though.

Side note.
Maxwell, Wendy, Wolfgang and Woodie don't even know what a car is. 
This is proven in shipwrecked when looking at the car license, he thinks it's a secret code.
Different characters either do, or do not know what that is, which gives us a time boundary. 
This might help other people.

Precisely for this reason, time passes and in the Constant you can find objects that are from our world: plaques, pills, garden gnomes, even an electronic device...! How did all those objects get? Is it really so unlikely to think that dimensional gaps can also form spontaneously in nature? The human being does nothing but copy the phenomena: the gates are only gashes on command, but when the stars align and the worlds come closer... here is that the barrier that separates them becomes thin, allowing the passage of things and people.
I conclude by saying: is it so unthinkable that nuclear explosions caused a huge gash in the sky?
Nope.

That what i said. He is noncanon bec he isnt like other suvivors who were pullen to this world. But he could might give some lore understanding like ancient stuff in dungeons.

He is canon, he just isn't part of the original storyline ( ppl getting sucked in etc... )

Meaning that he propably him being in constant is a different story...

License plates and automobiles are not one and the same. License plates were only in use early 1900's (according to wikipedia) and automobiles were invented earlier than that - around the 1880's.
These characters could easily know what a car is but still have not heard of plates as they weren't in use yet.

I can remember that Maxwell has mentioned (when he was on the throne) that the time flows differently in constant. I think that the time there passes much faster than in the "real world" and characters barely even age there. This means that the characters can arrive in much different periods of time (up to 20-30 years), and there wouldn't pass much time in constant.

I even think that Winona herself got into a different dimension from the one that Wilson got sucked into (maybe even before him), and that she got into "Wilson's" dimension with another portal after some time.

This is further proven by her quote from "Forge" event saying that the portal from there looks like the one she got trough. I feel an urge to remind that the portal from the new short does not look at all like the one from Forge.

The Short's: Sort of a standing Gateway.

The Forge's: A flat circle, on the ground.

Exactly, and this explains in a simple and intuitive way why there may also be a buccaneer (Woodlegs) and a colonialist (Warbucks) who are clearly people who come from the 19th century.
So I think it's not so absurd that by now, in our world, it could be 1945 or later, in full "atomic era".
I think it took Wilson a while to find Maxwell on the throne, and it took them a while to build the first man-made gate, and that another time passed before all the various travelers met and that Charlie manifested his powers and took control of the throne. Finally, if The Forge and The Gorge are canons (I think so), I think a lot of time has passed since everyone ended up in the Constant. Which translates into who knows how much more time has passed in the our world, decades maybe!
