If you could remove one mob from the game, who'd it be?

Hey! Waterballoons are very useful.

BTW, my answer is Shadow Duelist.

Please don't get rid of @ShadowDuelist, he's really nice and helpful  

Moleworms, on the other hand...

I would get rid of the gemmed no eyed deer so that everyone has to fight enraged klaus your welcome

[hoppin mandrake]

bird traps with birds inside them...

 

Seriously these things lower my sanity irl.

Pengulls, they always set up their gather spots either in or very close to my base. I hate it.

never. that would mean no Tam, no cane, nnever. Also, removing MacTusk would leave his son without a parent. He would have to provide for himself and 2 dogs, as a child

As for the answer to the original question, batilisks. I just hate them, so much. Bats, in every game, are the bane of my existence. bats in DST? Demons. Bats in Terraria? Demons. Bats in Enter the Gungeon? Demons. Bats in minecraft? Not demons, but I instinctively kill them, even if I have to chase them for hours.

Wee MacTusk. Not killing him keeps me dissatisfied about my McTusk raid and for a hunt almost as frustrating as McTusk he's not worth it at all with his measly one meat. Either he should have a characteristic or leave the constant.

You need to leave one alive to tell the tale...

After all, dead men tell no tales...

dont watch the movie tho, I hope that goes without saying

Ewecus. Its unique drops range from completely useless to having exactly two highly niche uses (three counting the critter), it can do some serious damage if you don't go on your koalefant hunt prepared for the worst with armor and followers, and it's unpleasant-looking and gross so it doesn't even have cuteness on its side.

Meme Answer: Those evil birds!

In reality, I don't think I could ever remove any creature from DST. After taking the time to add some of my own just to have the hours spent drawing sprites, coding prefabs, stategraphs, and brains, and in some cases redoing animations altogether go down the toilet would leave me heartbroken. I wouldn't want that wished upon another soul.

Instead of removing something, why not just make it better?

None

They're all good, some bad but not to the point of needing to be removed entirely.

Ahh except- You CAN remove them entirely. And in fact- people who play around with World Gen presents would know you can already turn MacTusk camps off- I turn them down to less for all my worlds because I seriously just hate them..

Which also means I don’t use Tam’O or Walking Canes very often.. but I don’t care- The fact that Klei gave us the option to custom tailor our worlds to be as easy or as hard as we want them to be is what’s important..

[CameoAppearance]

I mean, I'm not saying that Ewecus needs to be or should be removed; that's not how I understood the point of this thread at all. I'm saying that if one mob was going to get the chop no matter what, I wouldn't miss the Ewecus and would be a little bit relieved to never have to deal with it again.

you talk about worldgen settings as if 99% of public servers arent set to default except disease is off, and therefore a lot of the time you're not really going to have control over such settings unless you make your own server and exclusively play on that one, like i prefer to play with wildfires set to "Less" but under the majority of circumstances I'm forced to play with it set to default because thats just what the norm in servers are

Well, at the time of this writing the console I play on does not have public servers, it doesn’t have dedicated or Klei official servers, what the Xbox One has is Player Hosted Servers- Which is to say worlds that are only playable while the host is actively in the session. 

And because our servers are player hosted you could end up in a wide variety of World Gen presets, while yes, a good majority of them are set to default.. you will find the occasional server like mine where the weather seasons change rapidly & unpredictably.

I have seen very very few “long lasting” worlds on Xbox, because generally.. most people host a new world after around 300 days or so.. there are a handful of longer lasting worlds.. but those stand the chance of becoming so laggy they are literally unplayable.

Anyways my point was that Default is not the norm when you have worlds that are constantly being destroyed/created- Worlds that pretty much only last for as long as the host is online and then are never played in again.

 

World Gen Presets give you a ton of control over that and if you only have 30 minutes to an hour to play.. Default is the absolute most boring way of playing the game.

But Klei knew that... and that’s why they gave us these World Gen options to choose super short season lengths so we can experience that content at a faster rate than normal.

And... for those who have time to dedicate to longer play sessions, you can make those seasons long and grueling.

I keep saying that this game is as easy or as hard as you personally want it to be, more and more people need to toy around with World Gen settings so they can experience something beyond just “Default”

Bruh... by public servers, I mean any server that isn't friends-only/private/password protected, This includes player hosted servers, which are a large portion of the PC community.

From what i've seen of the console community through my little brother's ps4, the concept of the large majority of servers being almost completely default in world settings is still there. either way all of this is a completely moot point to what I was saying:

without touching how kind of broken and wonky these settings get if you try to set them to More or Lots, the simple fact of the matter is that a large portion of players....are going to be playing instead of hosting? Yes, the worldgen options are there, but only few players are going to actually be able to control them, because this isn't DS, where absolutely everyone gets to have an opportunity to mess with them before joining a world.

While I agree with that, CK's execution is still rather lackluster and I'd favor scrapping it for something better designed, less mind-numbingly tedious and more interesting.
