Dont Starve Myths

[Szczuku]

I think the meteorite myth comes from the fact that the showers move. I've seen it multiple times in my long-lasting worlds: sometimes they shower deep in the mosaic, sometimes in the middle of their field and sometimes out in the neighbouring grassland.

For some reason the actual meteorite field is much bigger than the turf in the biome indicates. In fact, their range often reaches to the neighbouring biomes.

- Catcoons dens respawn. Nope, if a den is destroyed it will be gone forever like almost every other resource of the game so take care if you wanna keep them for long. People usually missunderstood the catcoon respawn mechanic added in DST, in DS if you killed all the catcoons from a den it will change the sprite to show that the den is empty meaning that it wont respawn more catcoons ever again, this was change in dst where, when the den gets empty it will stay with that sprite for many days but after a while it will start producing more catcoons and recovering their original sprite.

they do respawn in dst, in regular ds rog shipwreck and hamllet they are gone forever unless you reset the world

This was originally a thing in the game! Ghosts were much much more destructive and could light things on fire, spoil stuff, even hammer stuff I believe? Twas so long ago that Ghost health was still a concept!

Man I remember this, trying to farm Living Logs by haunting trees (No Wormwood) but you had to space them out so that if one caught fire the rest would be fine

Their statement is the DENS don't respawn, not the catcoons themselves.

I also remember seeing someone's fairy circle of red mushrooms turned blue via ghosts. One was permanently missing because it burned down. 

I think that would trigger me so much, so it convinced me to never change the color of fairy circles.

The only thing were both things can be used is if you wanna wear clothing after your thermal stone has become neutral

so its useful

yes but wasting that slot for that isnt the best thing. It would work for long trips were you cant burn stuff and you dont have access to star caller staff or bundle wraps to bundle warm stones or scorch fish

no, the catcoons respawn but not their dens as already mentioned in that paragraph

i have tested this with many longterm worlds and even in 4k days any den will respawn. Same with beehives, hound mounds, tall birds, etc

i think the only spawners that are renewable are the ones atached to fuelweaver

pd. this topic is to end myths not fuel them more so i would recommend that any comment should be wrote after testing or atleast marking that the info isnt 100% tested

Only Wilson, Warly, Winona, Wormwood, and Wurt have their own strings for it; everyone else copies Wilson's, as is typical for unfinished strings.

I don’t get why they would make strings for Wurt when long pig was omitted from the game years before she was released.

She wouldn’t even drop human meat either, obviously.

Same reason hundreds of other cut/removed items get strings. Characters for DST sometimes get quotes for DS exclusive stuff, and characters that came after F/Gorge sometimes get strings for that too. It's just a company thing they sometimes do. Not a lot of rhyme or reason behind it.

他们确实……至少在 Xbox Series X/S 上是这样。

但是当然有人会进入论坛并给你一些确凿的事实，即流星落入的区域是在生成你的世界时预先确定的，并且它们永远不会扩展到该半径之外（不是废话）但是在实际游戏过程中......它们会开始坠落在较小的半径中并继续扩展到它们的最大半径。

所以他们确实会在游戏中扩展，他们不会在世界 Gen 半径中扩展......并且任何不深入游戏代码文件以阅读游戏运作方式的人都不会知道他们不知道。

I was going to say that me being good at the game was a myth, but nobody ever believed that.

Tbh it takes a lot of skill at the game to say you suck at it, many people don't realize that

Honestly it depends entirely on what YOUR goals are with the game, your playing a Sandbox game.. there are no rules: There’s no right or wrong way to play.. there’s not one singular “thing” you have to absolutely do, you can do Whatever you want, WHENEVER you Want.. 

With DS single-player there was an overall goal for Adventures mode: build the wooden thing in each chapter, progress to the next chapter, beat the game.

With DST we don’t have an adventures mode yet… you don’t have to really do anything, Klei started adding “mission structure” in the return of them updates (Aka do stuff for Pearl, build her house, kill crab king, get pearls Pearl take it back to her, find all the lunar altars, activate Moonstorm, see whatever questionable activities Wagstaff is up to, kill celestial champion)

But unlike DS Solo where progressing through each chapter was the only goal- you can do all the above whenever your ready to do it, and then once you do it: There’s no further point to it (there may be in future updates but for now it’s unfinished.)

Now that you can exit the game at any point of time and turn certain things on/off/more/less at your own free will- You have EVEN MORE Control over what you do in the game.

You can turn back on Year of the Carrat and spend all your time racing a Carrat around on custom built racetracks, you can turn OFF all the giants and play DS as if it were Pre-RoG content.. you can toggle On Hallowed Nights and fill your world with Totally Normal Trees and Mad Science potions, you can start the game with Summer Wildfires and Meteor showers ON and then later get annoyed with them destroying the base your trying to build and toggle them OFF, then you can get bored of building that Mega Base and turn them back ON again and set them to happen more to watch it all be destroyed.

I don’t think people fully realize the depth of just how much you can custom tailor your experience with this game- there’s no “goal” there’s no “one absolute way of playing & all other ways are invalidated”

Unless your the HOST of a world, people can play how they want, do what they want, when they want.. if your the HOST however- you have some degree of control over what people can and can’t do 

(for example you can toggle Mini Glaciers off completely and set the world to Infinite Summer and people won’t be able to build Iceflingo Machines to prevent that world from going up in a blazing inferno) you can set the world to lights out mode and force people to play in permanent darkness.

Stop telling yourself that your “BAD” at a game you can play anyway you want, HOW you Want and pretty much Any Way that you want..

This TL:DR post just cracked the biggest Myth of them all- That DST only has one Meta way of playing & all other ways are wrong.

Do you even understand what TLDR means..?

Also the meta is playing the game the most efficient as you can. There is literally one true efficiency, just like in life.

I'm not saying meta is good, but to say there is more than one meta? Ridiculous

That's a nice point to make though
It's a sandbox experience so everyone should just play it how they want

这是一个很好的观点
这是一种沙盒体验，所以每个人都应该按照自己的意愿进行游戏

Rules in public places should be followed, even if they are all unspoken rules

After writing a good 10,000 lines of quotes or so for mods, my guess would be that the effort needed to check whether each item is in the game when you're writing the quote can be more work than just doing it. It's a lot easier to remember how far you were if you write something for every line, and a few extra lines from singleplayer content is no big loss, especially when there are plenty of mods that add singleplayer things to dst.

The meteor myth is interesting. I remember a ton of people believing it back in the day, however how did it even come to exist?

Presumably because the area that meteors can fall in is invisible, and the places that they end up falling is random. One storm "seems" to end at a certain location, then the next one by pure coincidence drops meteors outside of what was incorrectly believed to be the edge.

They don't move, and the turf is irrelevant to where they drop.

No, pigs hate wortox, weeber or werewoodie because they are monsters

Woodie is not a monster in any of the wereform, pigs won't attack wereWoodie regardless of the form. Bunnymen would scream "Monster!", but only in case Woodie/wereWoodie has meat item, just like they scream "Monster!", "Meat!", "Unclean!", "Revenge!" if any character has meat item.

I've seen many people say that being wet drains your sanity. If I'm not mistaked, wearing/holding wet items is the cause of sanity drain and not being wet yourself. I'm not completely sure though, so take this with a grain of salt.

I believe is both, you lose sanity for being wet and for each soggy item in your inventory. For that the wormwood and wurt perk post launch about being inmune to wetness was incomplete, klei only make them inmune to self wetness but forgot to add resistance for the inventory aswell

This is not true in DST: wet items in the inventory do not drain sanity, but equipped wet items do drain it. I'm less sure about DS (it's been a while since I was wet in DS, but even if that's the case, it might be a bug).
