There's an odd mixture of HD vanilla turfs, and what I imagine are modded turfs. I won't say for certain as I've been unable to track down any origin point for them, though. 

I can see vanilla DST turfs and what I believe are Hamlet turfs. Then there's others which I can't find any source for. None appear to be in the usual DSN style, either. Any pointers would be appreciated!

I believe I saw some of the special turfs there in Kyno's Not Enough Turfs mod. Or perhaps even in Turfed! mod.

Maybe Kyno took some basic old DS turf concepts and adapted them into something he fancied, like those Legacy | Custom localized ones.

I've dug up another backpack, this one of the Dfly. Almost identical to the existing one, just of her non-enraged form! It's super cute.

Spoiler

 

Since all the Reign of Giant backpacks have already been posted in this thread, I guess it's ok to share a little tidbit on them that I've been sitting on. Briefly during DST Early Access, there were actually references to Loyal rarity and Distinguished rarity versions of them in the game files. 

The loyal versions were most likely, at one point, going to be the reward for owning the Reign of Giants DLC (instead of the Mini Monument skin that we eventually got). It's probably why there were 4 separate backgrounds (one for each giant) in the game files for a long time, of which one was randomly chosen for the popup window when earning the Mini Monument skin.  However, 3 of the backgrounds were removed in 2019, leaving only the Bearger background in the game today when earning the Mini Monument skin.

Spoiler

   

As there were also distinguished versions of the backpacks, I assume we would've only earned one backpack in loyal rarity for owing the Reign of Giants DLC.  And the distinguished versions would've been obtainable as drops.

We did end up getting the Enraged Dragonfly backpack (as an Elegant skin drop - Scorching Satchel) and the Deerclops backpack (as a Proof of Purchase skin - Deerclops Duffel) in the game.  As for the other backpacks, they had full strings!

Bearger Knapsack - A fuzzy backpack shaped like a bearger. Who's a fuzzy wuzzy bearger?
Dragonfly Pouch - Dragonfly in backpack form. It will hold your stuff without lighting it on fire (probably).
Goose Tote - A backpack shaped like a goose. Or maybe a moose. It's hard to tell.

The Goose Tote also had an alternate version called the Moose Tote, but that was only because the name of the skin was going to randomly swap when the skin was selected (much like the actual Moose/Goose).

So THAT'S what those were for! I remember scavenging these up eons ago!

You have no idea how thankful I am to see some of this stuff brought to light- it's super darn satisfying and rewarding.

Now here's a rather pretty looking menu I just came across.
Unsure what it's intentions are for, it's entirely out of style for it to be Newhome which sparks my curiosity. 

EDIT: There's another one!

Completely out of nowhere, but do we have any idea what the **** that was?

Edit: I just searched the image and found this by someone named Tony Pham, published in 2011. Really confused

Something super interesting I found!
Looks like there's a fully finished, unused Hamlet themed skin for the Pighouse. Akin to that of the log cabin skin.

The image appears to be broken, I cant see what you posted :/

Looks like it was a discord embed, I pasted it into a chat there and it displays properly. Here you go!
