There is no escape from this realm, never! *insert maxwell "thing" teleportatoe laughter here*

(or else.....seriously there can't be......unless maybe.........what if the real world was actually a reversed constant world and after there is nothing more to draw into from the real world the circle will reverse and the some new "maxwell"-like origin will be drawn into the real world, creating a new constant? After all do we really know what happens when the characters die in real world? After all Abigail looks like a ghost from the constant......who won't be revived either. Maybe THAT'S what the graves are for? [refering to your other question about if we will ever see what lies between caves and the surface] I'm just an insomnia struggling person with weird ideas, don't take anything I say seriously.)

What is when they travel back into the real world part of the constant stay with them and every time we die they just keep on reviving. What if after so many times of dying they start to adapt after summer times of adapting they evolve that’s right evolution of a singular level

Interesting, I always thought Weber spider half was on its way to becoming a queen since he can craft eggs in the leader of spiders and both his Moonbound and triumphant skins have queen spikes also has triumphant skin I similar to a queen

but the question is where does he keep it? And is it possible that all male spiders can produce dormant eggs in the constant?

I think the spider glands are more than just silk glands.

I am not sure what exactly you mean. Do you mean we in the sense of the real-world people and they in the sense of the constant people / creatures? Anyway....I fear insomnia is destroying me, I can't follow this anymore.

Thanks, I have to take a break from writing in this forum and focus on self-care and working on my DST mod plans again.

Today is my birthday, and I know no one really cares but it gets super depressing checking my social media accounts and not having birthday wishes from people, I mean I guess that is to be expected when you have very few friends.. but still I sometimes wish I could find people to play video games with without having to feel like I’m begging them.
 

I don’t plan to play DST again until the Otter Update but when that comes out.. is there anyone on Xbox who might want to check it out with me?  My Password to join my room for the Otter update is going to be in huge Capitol letters OTTER

If Warly ever sat on the throne, do you guys think that he would bring his Maman to the constant for an "eternal" life out of sickness or not?

If he also used his powers to try to help her as much as he can, I believe he would. (he seems to miss her so much)

Ya so hears my current theory

it’s a cycle the goal of the species is to spread as much as possible for simplicity sack i’m using webber planting the eggs as a catalyst for the loop take place since come to think of it I can’t think of where the actual planting of the eggs with half naturally

So first the eggs gets planted all three spiders hatch and start to wait for prey to step on their web and alert them to their presence start killing their prey and eating it possibly even having a social stomach or their stomach also doubles as a social stomach to bring food back to the nest as time goes on a dominant spider out of three emerges ether thought dominance alone or an increased diet and a result of the dominance they start developing into a queen and through Arrhenotoky the cluster starts to grow and through increased Silk production so does the den along with some of the new Brood differentiating into a more capable branch this whole time, the queen is preserving energy for the final stage feeding more and more and as the den grows, so does the queen and  as she reaches the final stage?she leaves behind a group of her offspring, possibly even her siblings.My reason for thinking that this isn’t just for an egg stand, the stand will reach its second stage in one IRL minute, which is much shorter then it takes for most dens to reach your second stage which Suggests to me a larger group of spiders that just need a little bit to get their footing After such dramatic change, And if it doesn’t already have a dominant spider(second most dominant previously till the queen left) then one will arise anyway back to the queen, a few members of the cluster Hitched a ride with her as protection during this vital time she wonders for days in hopes to find an area with no dens or other spider  queens you see the reason why she needed so much energy is it takes a lot of energy to maintain this larger form after so many days if the conditions are met she sheds this larger form in favor of the smaller one.and the cycle begins again, It’s even possible that another one of the members of the new den could surpass him in dominance.

 

I think it is cool that we came up with different explanations. I like that in your theory any spider can become the queen. This is what i thougt:

“It appears to be growing. Almost as if it were alive.” – Wagstaff on Spider Den
“Did she evolve from the spider den?” – Wagstaff on Spider Queen

To me, these quotes suggest that the sipder den IS the spider queen. Plus the spider queen's design and the animation of it emerging from the tier three den, its like the den grew legs and a head and started walking around.

So, my theory is that the spider den is the sessile form of the spider queen. A sessile animal is an animal that stays in place because, by design, it does not have the means to move around. For example: barnacles, coral, female bagworm moths. The opposite of sessile is motile. Sessile animals usually have a motile stage of life. For example, barnacles are born motile, then when they reach adulthood they attach to a surface and lose the ability to move around. The spider queen can change between the two forms multiple times throughout its lifespan.

In both her sessile form (spider den) and her motile form (spider queen), she can birth regular spiders. But the transformation to motile form is necessary for the process of birthing a new spider queen. The new spider queen is the tier 1 spider den that is left behind. It is necessary for the original spider queen to move away once this happens, so that the two spider queens' colonies hopefully do not need to compete for resources as much

Yeah, I considered that too, but where I run into a problem with that is where is the baby spider queen in the forge

That's the best explanation for the spider queen I have seen so far!

Did Wilson make or do anything on the throne, or was he lazy?

I don't know if he did but I once dreamed of Wilson using the throne's powers to create a walking maxwellphonograph (like chester) that would follow the freed Maxwell around and wouldn't be able to be turned off, plus swapping the ingredience of the crafting machines randomly (e.g. alchemy engine now requires receipts from the ruins)

Judging by the fact he doesn't have a beard and seems to be more scared than happy that he could do stuff I don't think he did anything. Not because he was lazy but because he was scared. Charlie had to save him before he grew a beard so I don't think he concerned about making stuff, he was more concerned on a way to escape the throne.

He should have made a portal to escape, or at least his own OC.

Just for adding a detail because this was answered above.if you watch the trailer you can see that wilson still tries to free himself by forcing the "shadow chains", he was starting to surrend, so we can asume he was there few hours before charlie free him

IF he had made something it would have been interesting IF he had made a Wilson-Version of the first DS-world ("Maxwell's world") (that means the one without DLCs in which Maxwell doesn't say hello to you). It would just be nice to see what a world Wilson /would/ have created. At least I would have been curious to see Maxwell wake up in Wilson's world after freedom. (Wilson saying hello to him would be funny too)

I think newhome is actually what he created. I remembered that is a thing.

I have heard of that game but sadly I don't really know anything about it aside the name and that it was supposed to be a mobile game? Hmmm........anyway aww now that would have been fun to see! Though I remember that apparently there would have been new characters that Wilson would have pulled into the game. I was more hoping for a delay between Maxwell dying after Wilson unlocking the thrown ----- *insert "time" passing here* -> Maxwell respawning in, whatever a newhome world would be like, specifically. (I have no information, but I would have hoped for something very-Wilson-specific in oppose to Maxwell's sinister creatures like the firehounds and so on.

I have two questions

can you give accursed trinkets to other the same way you give players other items 

does anyone know why the merm didn’t have a third finger since merms have three fingers on each hand
