CaptainChaotica Posted March 16, 2020 Share Posted March 16, 2020 I used to REALLY hate summer, now I have a grudging respect for it. it's like...I recognise it as an enemy but an honourable one with rules. Also I've had some interesting adventures during summer, and any season that can make me crack up laughing at how RIDICULOUS it is even while I'm dying, can't be _all_ bad... ...Notorious Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LucianBale Posted March 16, 2020 Author Share Posted March 16, 2020 I've tried the caves before. Somehow it's still burning hot underground. The sun's light can't get there, but its heat still can. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you're playing on the stand-alone Don't Starve, yes, but not on DST, caves are 100% safe during summer so you definitively should reserve your caves exploration for summer, it's a great deal.

Terra B Welch Posted March 16, 2020 Share Posted March 16, 2020 Figured I'd share my season experience. Autumn: Get stuff done with a side of bearger derp-around and treeguards Winter: Get stuff done with a side of deerclops murder Spring: Get stuff done with a side of HONK Summer: Kill antlion, and if ruins are completed. RESIDENTSLEEPER Honestly summer is just a boring season, especially late game for me. I'm very antsy in this game and feel the need to always be doing something, but in summer I feel like I can't unless I want to watch the world burn around me.(Wildfires reeee) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Naveil Posted March 16, 2020 Share Posted March 16, 2020 I love summer because it's the perfect combination of challenge and skill. For most, it's probably the last season you encounter in your normal year cycle, so you have the rest of the year to prepare. New players won't know what to do and will get their asses handed to them, whereas veteran players have all sorts of options to deal with summer, such as caves and ice. Sucking at summer is part of the experience. It's undoubtedly frustrating, but so it everything else in this game. And that's the best part. Learning the game mechanics and flipping them on their sides makes it way easier and gives an immense sense of satisfaction when you pull it off. A lot of players don't get there, but learning how to counter summer is one of the funnest parts of Don't Starve. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LucianBale Posted March 16, 2020 Author Share Posted March 16, 2020 My previous cave experimentation was in single player, yes. I go way back with this game. If the caves are actually cool in DST, that's fantastic news, well worth the time it took to post my rant. To the other replies: it's not just the difficulty, it's the absurdity. A Deerclops? Fine. Willing suspension of disbelief. A healthy young man dying from simply being outdoors on a hot day? Makes me crazy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This one's easy, eyebrella + thermal, all good, if you go the extra mile, get them ouchies for a summer frest and an umbrella for a nice relax time. Slap a snow chester for nice cool foods. Of course just for you to be all the more attentive for that nice sizzling on the corner of your screen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dunk Mujunk Posted March 16, 2020 Share Posted March 16, 2020 Summer isn't so bad once you wrap your head around it. We just use the Eyebrella/Thermal combo, always carry mats for a Endothermic fire, and stay away from important stuff during the day. We base in non essential areas, close to a cluster of ponds for frogs. We lay down 1-4 Flings (depending on our luck with Clockwork numbers up top). I'll always clear the entire area of literally anything that could catch fire. My wife handles farms and grass/twig/berry farms and I chop wood in non crucial areas. If we forget anything at main base we make a run at night. We sometimes do AntLion, but the earthquakes are easy enough to take away from base and dodge so we are never concerned about that. These days though we just head to the caves. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike23Ua Posted March 16, 2020 Share Posted March 16, 2020 If your not in rendering distance of stuff, stuff won’t burn. its pretty easy, Also you can outrun Antlions ground collapse craters even without having a Walking Cane. Its not all that hard of a season if you are a veteran at survival games outside of the DS Franchise. The Thing is- people have drastically differing skill levels, and what comes naturally easy for some.. may feel like pure torture to others.

fimmatek Posted March 16, 2020 Share Posted March 16, 2020 Many people complain that summer is difficult/annoying/boring, but in my opinon it isn't, and there are many things you can do if you don't want your base to burn down: Small summer base (where one or two flingos cover everything important) Oasis base Exploring caves/ruins, building a cave base Taming a beefalo (summer is the best season for that, you've got plenty of time and it won't be mating) Or just having a nomadic life, avoiding base. It won't hurt much if a few trees or flowers burn around you, now will it? And yeah, I agree there could be more summer-only stuff, not just Antlion and cactus, let's hope Klei will ad some more 56 minutes ago, LucianBale said: To the other replies: it's not just the difficulty, it's the absurdity.

Well-met Posted March 16, 2020 Share Posted March 16, 2020 Trade your stack of logs with a stack of nitre instead. Put the damn backpack away and craft the damn hawaiian shirt. Craft the damn goose fan. Kill the damn antlion. Congratulations, summer is over. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spep Posted March 16, 2020 Share Posted March 16, 2020 i too dislike being confined to the underground for fear of burning every forest on the map down by accident. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike23Ua Posted March 16, 2020 Share Posted March 16, 2020 Do you guys complain about everything just for the sake of complaining? There are gameplay toggle options for a reason you know.. don’t like Wildfires but love Summer..? Turn Wildfires off. hate summer all together? Turn it off too. Meanwhile in real life I try to buy a single roll of toilet paper and the last 4 stores I go to are out of stock.. this is ridiculous. I wish DST had more game toggle options.. maybe I want a world generation similar to Single Player DS’s Archipelago campaign chapter (where the Biomes are broken up into the own unique islands accessible via, Wormhole, underground cave tunnels or in the case of Shipwrecked or DST- By Boat.) more options to turn on/off certain features. Want a server with no caves on Xbox or PS4? The option to turn them completely off does not currently exist. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
