Gourmand Posted November 16, 2019 Share Posted November 16, 2019 In Don't Starve, food is the least of your issues. The real culprit is theft. That's right, theft. Survivors are not always friendly, griefers come and go and take what is not theirs. From eyebrellas to yellow gems, theft is all too common in the Constant. So how do we go about this? Mass incarceration? Private prisons? Re-education camps? Forcing them to become Wes mains? None of those, punishment is not necessary. We need keys and locks. We should have the ability to lock chests and craft keys. The keys would be stored on a key ring (does not interfere with any inventory slots or backpack slots, this would just be displayed on the side) and if a character has the correct key (or if they crafted the chest), they are allowed entry. This wouldn't fully prevent theft, but it'd be a cool RPG mechanic while dually reducing the amount of Wurts who join just to take thirty-two reeds and skiddadle.

A player can join, steal a bee queen crown and leave the server. Sure you can rollback, but often times you don't realize something is gone until it's the next season. It's an easy way to troll.

Gourmand Posted November 16, 2019 Author Share Posted November 16, 2019 Just now, Jessie223 said: turn on pvp: give yourself the opportunity to defend your property Good point, but sadly you need to witness the theft and be close to the thief in question. Boomsticks aren't existent in DST (if only Warbucks was playable) so quick justice is difficult to obtain. Especially since a sneaky Maxwell can just join, take a handful of jellybeans and leave the server without the host knowing anything of his devious heist.

Obviousclone Posted November 16, 2019 Share Posted November 16, 2019 let players vote to force drop items on players, including ones that have exited the server. maybe also let players vote kick on players that have exited the server to prevent them from re-entering too if they are a grief and leave type of player Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frashaw27 Posted November 16, 2019 Share Posted November 16, 2019 The only problem I can see with this is that this can cause people to get a important item locked in a chest that can't be reopened. Sure you can just hammer it to break chest and get the item back, but it that's the case then people would just carry hammers to access all chests rather they worry about keys.

cantdeletethis Posted November 16, 2019 Share Posted November 16, 2019 i think theft is unavoidable in this case.. what i hope is a little tutorial for newcomers, maybe maxwell or wickerbottom as guide since they knows most stuff in constant this might prevent unintended troll or annoying others in pub Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Philip. Posted November 16, 2019 Share Posted November 16, 2019 Or put a password on the server Or you can if you are an admin kill the player who steals something and then take those things. I know sometimes it's not that simple. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1TeeMo Posted November 16, 2019 Share Posted November 16, 2019 I never played on a public server, only on password protected servers with people I know. Is griefing such a big thing on public servers?! Sounds bad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is griefing such a big thing on public servers?! Sounds bad It can be, but not that often, really. I play on pubs a lot the last few months, and the sort of griefing I run into, isn't usually stealing or base burning. For the most part those 2 things can be countered as long as it's not a non-renewable resource. Ghosts who refuse to revive though and either can't or won't be kicked are a much bigger pain. Everyone goes insane & if you run out of the means to counter that, or get attacked by a nice Deerclops or frog rain in the middle of it... It's not pretty!

Is griefing such a big thing on public servers?! Sounds bad I'm playing only on public servers (and that a lot) and I don't see griefing that often. Sometimes I see players setting the base on fire, but then there is always the option to kick and rollback. Some servers ar administrated, so you can report griefers and the players will be blocked on every server run by this group. I haven't seen much stealing (more in the past), sometimes someone (mostly unexperienced players) picking up stuff from a player who just died, but after communication the player get his stuff back. In the past it has been worse, but I think nowadays people can handle resp. prevent griefing better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maradyne Posted November 16, 2019 Share Posted November 16, 2019 Though I usually only see a big griefing once per game season on pubs...it would be nice to have more regularly available vanilla options to combat it. Just making players drop all their stuff a moment before they're vote-kicked would be enough. Maybe a backup flag that causes kicked players' items to drop at their last location when a rollback is initiated; would help in the case of less moderated pubs where people grab a bunch of valuables before setting their fires.

Mike23Ua Posted November 16, 2019 Share Posted November 16, 2019 I don’t ever have a problem with managing Sanity when other players die, there are many ways to regain Sanity, Picking Flowers, Eating Cooked Green Caps, Sleeping in a Tent or Seista-Lean-To, Cooking Mandrakes, Eating Mandrakes. there also many ways to quickly induce insanity, such as Eating Uncooked Green Caps. In order to beat DS Single Player you had to be Adept at managing your Sanity levels between being Fully Insane and perfectly Sane. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
