. . . Posted October 27, 2020 Share Posted October 27, 2020 hello friends and klei people! i saw that there's now unlimited save slots for dst! this is an epic achievement really glad it was added! now if only we can switch between offline and online server modes then people can play on their online worlds while offline and play with their friends on their offline worlds by making them online that would be super great too! thank you!

Well-met Posted October 27, 2020 Share Posted October 27, 2020 what are the perks of a "offline world"? All it does is you lose cosmetics and characters. You still need to load the caves on another server.

You still need to load the caves on another server. Depending on where you live in the world it is impossible to maintain a constant internet connection without interferences every now and then- Case in point: Not too long ago a storm hit down here and it killed the power and internet in my area.. because I live super close to a hospital they had power back up and running in no time, But the internet- that was down for a whole 6 hours or more. What the OP wants is for the game to recognize what skins they have applied/are using in their online world and if they are to be disconnected from Online play, they can still use the Character/skins they had in that particular save (but can’t change skins till reestablished internet connection) but in Offline play. The benefits of this is that you can continue to build and improve your worlds, as well as also use skins/characters you’ve purchased- by having the game recognize that worlds Save File... and allowing you to use whatever was in that world at the time you lost internet. So for example: You can play Offline as Wormwood using his Pumpkin skin & using your Creepy Cauldron crockpot skin. I say this because I used to have very poor internet, so it was actually BETTER to just play my games Offline, and back then.. when a new DLC for my game came out I would need to go to someone else’s house and download those dlcs/updates with their faster more reliable internet speeds. Then when I returned home I could play my DLCs/Updated contents in Offline play. Really what the OP wants would be considered a QoL feature for anyone who can’t stay connected to a constant streaming internet connection 24/7.

. . . Posted October 29, 2020 Author Share Posted October 29, 2020 On 10/27/2020 at 8:44 AM, Well-met said: what are the perks of a "offline world"? Mike23Ua summed up everything pretty perfectly! For me offline worlds actually are less laggy than online worlds and I'm not always playing with friends so being able to play in an offline world and then switch when I can play with friends is preferable with me also it usually takes 20-30 seconds for DST to login to online so I skip it to save time. I don't always have an online connection so not being able to play on my world because there's no internet is saddening... Almost every single game allows you to play regardless if you're connected to the internet so it would be great if DST was up to date like almost every other game with one of the most basic QoL feature of being able to play in your world with no hassle lol. I personally don't care if you can't use skins and DLC characters (which is still kinda dumb since you can use DLC in DS without internet connection) in an offline world, I just want to be able to play in my world with no hassle and annoyance.

Well-met Posted October 29, 2020 Share Posted October 29, 2020 If you host a server without caves, you won't have the lag.

Caves are on by default on Xbox One/PS4.. and they can never be turned off. I would love an option to host Caveless or even Surface-less worlds, OR even worlds made entirely of Lunar/Lunar Cave.. But unfortunately outside of Mods, those options aren’t available to us, I keep begging for them TO Happen, but I also have to understand that Klei has a Development roadmap and the things that would be nice to have- May not be part of that content schedule. Im not going to sit and be too disappointed by not having the options however though- because the content Klei puts out has been excellent quality content that I can totally understand why Caves-less/Forest-less world options aren’t available. I just hope that someday they will have the time to go through and do the small little QoL things like that- when they’re done with all the larger more demanding updates.

I have faith now that there are unlimited save slots which was a big QoL addition that we will get stuff like this too hopefully soon until then it's laggy worlds then I can have the option to play with friends and I can't play in the world when no internet OR not laggy world but the whole "together" part of the game is gone for the world's entire lifespan Link to comment https://forums.kleientertainment.com/forums/topic/122864-please-allow-for-worlds-to-swap-between-offline-and-online-server-mode/#findComment-1386429 Share on other sites More sharing options...
