Questions that don't deserve their own thread.

[HellHeater]

What is the console command for pausing the game? I need it to remotely pause and unpause a dedicated server. 

Before anyone says for the seventh time, no, the "TheSim:SetTimeScale(0)" doesn't work.

I've asked it in both Klei and Don't starve servers and couldnt find a result.

The problem with adding DST content into Dont Starve is not only does it devalue don’t starve together.. but it also doesn’t make any sense from a lore point of view either!

Dont Starve Togethers content updates have focused on after the events of Solo Dont Starve- After Wilson has traveled through 5 randomly generated worlds and chooses to trade places with Maxwell as the Nightmare Thrones Captive.

DSTs official starting animation shows Charlie wander up on Wilson and frees him from the thrones influence before throwing him BACK into the constant, although this time… instead of being ALONE he is thrown into the same constant that he “Swapped Places” with Maxwell at the conclusion of Dont Starve.

TOGETHER, Wilson and Maxwell set aside their pasts of being the Protagonist & Antagonist of Dont Starve to agree to work TOGETHER to construct the Jerry Rigged Portal- Which pulls all the other survivors that were each surviving in their own alternative universe all TOGETHER into the SAME Universe with Him (Wilson) and Maxwell.

This is also mentioned in Woodies Compendium lore story where it is explained that once Wickerbottom is thrown into the same Universe with him she helps him to better Understand & Control his Werecurse.

If you do not understand what I’m trying to explain to you…. Your unrealistically asking Klei to add the Story & Characters of GTA V into GTA 4..

And anyone who’s actually played GTA V will tell you that can NEVER be possible because the characters of GTA 4 make special and periodic appearances throughout GTA V (Trevor even kills the main playable character from GTA 4s DLC literally in the first few seconds of the game introducing you to him)

I understand that your frustrated that single player Don’t Starve isn’t getting updates anymore- But give it up man that game was made in 2013… and it’s story is over and DONE.

Klei May eventually decide to go back and add one more DLC to solo Don’t Starve- But that would be Complicated to do because…. they can not add any content into Dont Starve that contradicts the story & lore that Don’t Starve Together has continued from it. So any newer DST content that has happened AFTER the events of Dont Starve- Simply could never be added..

However- And as Wagstaff lore in DST implies.. they can add funky Shipwrecked like Moon Quay Islands & literally explain pulling stuff from Dont Starve over into DST thanks to Funky Lunar/Shadow/Unstable Portal shenanigans.

You would in all honesty: Fair out better to ask for an official Single Player Mode to be added to Dont Starve Together (with content scaled to a single player..) rather then to unrealistically demand they add DST content into the 10+ year old single player game.

Let's hope Newhome carries this franchise as the next game in a couple years when dst is done.

It sure would. The original PS1 game of Tomb Raider would get a second life if added Willow or Wurt as the butler. Televisions would be better if we could take things from the screen too. Wouldn't it be awesome if potatoes were made of gold too? 

Any more wishes we should make? 

(In all kindness though, i'm just trying to point out that somethings just do not happen, even if we really want them.)

Edit: Anyways this isn't what this thread is about, I hope you get what you want one day dude! 

Well, as long as Klei supports the Don't Starve franchise, there is hope for something good.

I have an actual question though; Are we still generally expecting Wurt to be one of the new survivors to get a skill tree? Quite excited if so  

I think all the survivors get skill tree. But I don't really want to use them . But it would be interesting to see what Klei will come up with.

does abigail's vexing ability apply to planar damage? the wiki describes it as a 10% damage vulnerability, which implies that it should (and does wendy get her 1.54* multiplier with planar too?)

1. We don't know what Charlie really created and what Maxwell did.
90% of the items in the DST have an unnamed status. They could have been created like Charlie or Maxwell.
Ewecus is an example of a creature that appeared first in the DST, but she in DS and now we know that it was originally or created by Maxwell.

2.A small number of creatures like Bee Queen.
Have the status - not created by Maxwell, because he says it in replicas.
But we also have no proof that she appeared thanks to Charlie.

( I'm waiting for Charlie as a character who will reveal the plot giant HOLES . At least a little bit )

3. There are things that lore existed in the DS, but they are not there for reasons of NO UPDATES FOR DS.

Atrium, Fossil Fragment existed in the days of DS and even before Maxwell.

Ancient Archive existed before Maxwell.

Maxwell says they were all destroyed ages ago. 
But where do we find it in DST ? In a dense forest... cracked, in the roots...

Wilba has a remark about a thing that does not exist in DS.

 

Worwood was born thanks to a gem that fell from the moon.

The destruction of the moon and lunar meteorites are things that have always been... Even before Maxwell

4. Why do you think that the DS cannot continue?
Why it is impossible to make an alternative plot in which only 1 event has changed.

Charlie sends Wilson not to the world where Maxwell was, but to another RoG world. And boom. 
Each survivor begins to cope with the cruel world on their own... It even sounds more epic.
Nothing prevents you from making DS both a plot and a sequel.

Good... Filling up about 4 dlc's of an old game is probably a bit difficult. Why not make DS 2, which will be a real sequel...

DST is "Fight, Farm, Build and Explore Together in the standalone multiplayer expansion to the uncompromising wilderness survival game, Don't Starve"

This is an expansion, not a sequel.  DST has lost its brutal survival, gloomy and even frightening atmosphere... How can you worry about characters when 19 SURVIVORS ARE FIGHTING WITHOUT ARMOR against Ancient Fuelweaver.

Ancient Fuel weaver, moreover, has phrases not only for everyone, but also for one character ... As if 1 character is fighting with him, not 19.

And now imagine how an epic trailer would show Wilson wearing tulecite armor and a crown and holding a thulecite bat in his hands to fight Ancient Fuelweaver

 

Few franchises that have many alternate realities ? ( New home 100 alternate realities %. And it is very difficult to call DST a plot continuation because of the HOLES in lore)

And something else. GTA 5 is not a sequel to GTA 4, but a spin-off.

Klei has a very big opportunity to develop the franchise when the ideas and desire to develop DST are over.

Is 3 alternate universes : DS, DST and New Home too much?

 

 

 

[Mike23Ua]

NewHome is confirmed as Non-Canon, and isn’t even being made by Klei.

[Hungry French]

Shipwrecked and Hamlet in DST does not exist.

And where the hell are Walani, Wilbur, Woodlegs, Wheeler and Wilba.

These are the only characters who survive alone... And now imagine how the old man Woodlegs destroys the Crab King with a cannon on his ship...

And if you dig even deeper. You can complete the adventure mode for 18 characters, not counting Wilson, Maxwell and DST characters.
The storyline of Together is based on Wilson. But what if the other 17+ characters free Maxwell? Which can be done in DS.

Klei themselves do not know what is canon and what is not. XD.

And what prevents Klei from making a new Non-Canon game? 
(If we imagine that DST is a canon...)

Has gunpowder been always like this? Was there any controversy or heated discussion about gunpowder that might have caused its nerf?  Why did they give creatures a sort of defense against it if it's gonna wear off anyway? What's the point?! Let me explote things up! It takes more time to gather gunpowder than preparing and finishing the fight by myself.

Yes, what you hear is frustration and disappointment caused by failure.

By "this" do you mean the temporary resistance that certain enemies get when hit with it? Yes, that's been in DST since its release. It's so that you don't just walk up and oneshot things, and encourages gunpowder to be used more as an assist to speed the fight up rather than something to skip it entirely.

Abigail's vex only affects physical damage (currently).

(Easy way to test: Hit something with a brightshade staff, then have Abby hit it, then hit it again. Notice damage doesn't change. Brightshade staff is 100% planar so we know vex doesn't affect planar)

It's in the game for a long time. Frankly at this stage of the game klei should just remove the damage reduction.

I have heard 40 gunpowder can't even one shot a brightshade, so it's even more awful dealing with rift content enemies.

Spoiler

Technically it’s not really all that much of a spoiler, it happens super early into the game, However- If you had been playing GTA Online during Halloween this year you would have had this part of the story campaign Spoiled for you anyway, because of the limited time “Ghost Photos” Missions (which rewarded the player who completed them all with the Ectho Ghostbusters van for finding and photographing all the ghosties)

That said- Sorry if you feel I spoiled something major for you. And in fact: You probably should NOT play GTA Online or watch the huge reveal of GTA 6’s game trailer scheduled for next month until you’ve completed GTA V

I also hope Don’t Starve NewHome NEVER replaces DST, because the graphics look like some crappy mobile game, wait.. isn’t it supposed to be some crappy mobile game? Is that game even ever going to release?? NewHome may actually end up eventually being “good” (at least in terms of a mobile game..) but you’d be crazy to think it’s gonna replace DST which not too long ago JUST released on Nintendo Switch.

a full stack only does 684 damage, which is a 91% decrease

however, lighting them individually does a combined 3423 damage, which is only a 57% decrease and enough to kill 3 brightshades :>

Around the time when AFW got added. Seems mainly designed for protecting him from being instantly killed by 2 piles of gunpowder.

It wears off anyway, don't protect bosses from eventually being killed by explosions. Meaningless and old mechanic.

There is resistance because Klei do not want players to simply blow up all bosses in the cooperative. There are no solo players for Klei

the nerf is so any player can't blow up all bosses, period. The number of players is irrelevant

gun powder can still used to reduce their health or even kill them with only gun powder but you need to interact with the boss during few time instead of one shotting them

if that what happened to u the solution that i found is to
add pause_when_empty = true to your settings.ini under the [network] tag

I want it to be able to pause the game when someone is in the game but I'm not.

Server automatically pauses when it's empty so that is not the problem.
