Lesson of Life: doesn't matter how good you are, there will always be someone who is better

and as I said, you'll get more information you need from your own experience than from someone else's, because other people may play different than you want

i know im not some stupid child or sum there always are gonna people who are better

im just who i am i wanna proove that i am good at everything

i think i will play but i already got about 40-50h so shouldnt i know everything already?

well he wanted to turn that off because this geckos do something that i didnt understand but i didnt ask him third time because i didnt want to annoy him

-turn off grass gecko morphing and rest on default, we have extra equip slots so its already much easier

-they still be there? its literally free grass

-yeah sure but they wont do *incomprehensible* if you turn that option off

that the story

gekko mechanic works kinda in this way: replanted grass tuft have % of changing into gekkos when harvested, if there is X gekkos nearby the transplanted grass wont spawn more but if you move the gekkos arround 6 tiles ( cant remember) more can spawn so you can create a pen a little away of where you planted the grass so they stay there producing grass which is dropped which means that you waste less time since you dont perform the harvest animation and produce without your intervention.

Having it in an area often loaded and including in the pen something that scare them (chester, bunnymens and (the best imo) saladmanders can do the work (pigs too but is dangerous if the dont go inside home while full moon)

The only bad things about this is that the grass tuft that became into gekkos are gone forever (unless your server is set to "endless") so you better protect these guys and that it might produce lag if isnt cleaned often

sandstorms only appears during summer and only protects from wildfires if you are inside the dessert and protects everything on screen, even if is a biome outside of the dessert.

If you are outside things can catch of fire inside of the dessert so be careful when you enter or exit the oasis dessert, try to do it only at dusk or night since wildfires only happens during daytime

 

Well my theory is that it burns because its on cobblestone

my guide friend said that its prob bug rather than that, and he would know if there would be such a thing like path makes burn things but there is no sandstorms on summer anyways so its prob. not it

here i send you some screenshots

ohh but you are still a baby, dont rush. Each step in the game is game changing, everytime you evolve as a player the gameplay experience change, the shorter you make each step the less fun the game will bring to you.

For example, the game is so different when you start playing and you are afraid of everything than later when you know which things kill you and when so you arent afraid of leaving the base at night etc. Later you start learning some magic stuff, revive items appear so your worlds last longer and the stuff you do, also you start to get fancy weapons. The next step is mastering seasonal bosses, they arent a danger anymore so now with them tamed and the weather beaten you can make long journies to the caves and the sea getting new stuff. You reach the ruins, get few magic stuff that you save for "special moments" since you dont know if you will be able to farm more. You dominated the late game loot, that chest filled with gear for "special moments" is now your way to go, now you have always speed, light, extra damage, damage inmunity, teleportation whenever you want like a non hungry wortox.... not for nothing there is that many people with +1k hours and didnt mentioned world settings, character perks and downsides or challenges and rushes

i know is frustrating when you dont have time but if you really like the game i recommend you to be patience and taste each minute and fail, failing and being afraid is one of the most fun things in this game and that one day ends to open the door to other kind of "sensations" . DST isnt the typical game, is like an onion of layers of knowledge, being dumb in this game is 1 time experience same goes for being middle age, experience until you reach being veteran when you have experience that much chaotic situations, the game sh*tting on you, dumb mistakes or stupid deaths that you end up learning

This game can be summarized into "the letter with blood enters" 

ofc, there is many obscure things that you might end needing external help like summoning CC or FW but with 50h i was worried about feeding the little tallbird that days later would cause my death xD

that is my honest recommendation, do what ever makes you happy playing the game

I’m assuming you play without world altering mods and on default settings.

If your base burns in oasis and you play alone I’d say it was a fire hound that exploded near a structure or an item that spread the fire. Sandstorms won’t put out fires, they only prevent wildfires from starting out of nothing. Sometimes fire hounds spawn slightly off screen and may get distracted attacking other mobs or walls. EG: Maybe one spawned near your friendly pigs and pigs will most likely kill the hound and cause a fire.

Sandstorms also happen only during summer, and if it’s summer and there is no sandstorm it’s most likely because it’s raining, or it rained very recently and the world has high wetness. Even though during rains or with high world wetness wildfires won’t happen, the previous comment about fire hounds still apply: they can still burn your whole base regardless of rain.

My suggestion: Even if you base at oasis cover some important areas in flingos just for emergencies, you don’t even need to leave them on at oasis. And try to always face fire hounds in a fireproof area, or at least an area covered with an active flingo.

 

i read first 2 sentences and i can already say no

its summer you stay in base and for no reason, it starts smoking, its snake noise and i can click spacebar so it wont burn

its 100% on oasis, its summer, it starts burning for no reason, thats it

also i can show you my mod list if you are curious, we play everything on default, except grass gecko morphing turned to none

i use all mods except refuable bone helm because its too op, i just wanted to have it just in case, i still didnt try bruh moment and wigfrid can eat icecream mod, because i added it yesterday and didnt make any icecream yet

the turf doest affect the sandstorm, is atached to the piece of land. As wurt my oasis is a swamp with roads and the sandstorm works like a cham

the map seems normal, sometimes the storm is buggy if the world gen does weird things

90% might be a bug caused by mods but you can try writing and uploading your log files here

i think i understand now but there is still one thing that bothers me

how tf i gotta keep my sanity high in caves?

like i cant eat cactus as a wigfrid and i always forgot to change helm and i keep fighting with my tam'o shanter on and i got tons of damage, making me waste alot of pierogi (btw can we normalize saying dumplings im polish so i know translation pierogi literally means "dumplings with meaty feeling")

im trying to fight but i dont have light down there so fight ring is limited by my friend runing next to me and he kinda panics alot so it turns out that i lost more sanity than i gain because of darkness lol

I have 1k hours, and I still think that I don't know all the game from A to Z.

Glermz the Streamer has like several times more, and he still finds something new for himself

i think i will just watch whole wigfrid's playground made by don giani, for me he is amazing youtuber, he explained alot things for me and i want to see how he can play as wigfrid, he needs to recover sanity without cactus too, the only thing that annoys me from sanity is the better shadow, it has alot more hp and i dont really have space for alot weapons so im just ignoring them, i died once as wanda because i wanted to be insane, jump through wormhole got 0 sanity, i wanted to go insane so i unequiped my lifegiving amulet and since i have my backpack under actual inventory it was stored in backpack and i couldnt respawn lol
