sugestion an idea to make dst more friendly to endless multiplayer worlds

[shadowtiger123]

#this is only an idea from a person who have friends which cant be all online at the same time. 

i know that dst is an uncomprimising survival game but it would be nice if all of my friends can join a day 100++ server in the middle of a summer/winter/spring and not die in the first 5 days. and this would open to newer players because they can choose what they want to deal with. and enable more players to enjoy late game content instead of reseting past day 30+.

my idea i to basically  turn each season in to a biome where each biome kinda have their own boss at the in the middle(think dragonfly)each biome is guarded by a unbreakable gate and wall which will open according to the normal season timer. ( or u can use wortox or a lazy explorer or a boat to jump in whenever u like)

pls keep an open mind and be kind in the comment( if u not going to give constructive feedback just leave)

for winter biome;

-only some twigy trees , some ice(for pengulls to spawn and ice respawn much faster)

-their will be a loot stash(klaus) guarded by one deerclops

-deeclops spawn back every 5-8 days , wont leave respective biome.

-at least two mac tusk camp will spawn(mactusk respawn every 5 days)

-- temperature drops very fast upon entering the biome

for spring biome;

-always be normal raining in day and evening but stops at night

-the whole area will have like 5 of the berry bush&pond set piece

- 2- 3 mama goose will spawn , wont leave respective biome.

-frog rain happens once every 2 or 4 days

for autuum biome;

-Deciduous Forest for loot stash removed but replaced with bearger Deciduous Forest

-basically same Deciduous Forest but more cat coons and ground have more mushroom 

-and bearger in the middle .....sleeping(, wont leave respective biome.)

for summer biome;

-basically oasis biome always in sand storm (good luck finding the oasis

-antlion will create sinkholes if it is NOT given a trinket , an egg , or a rock every 30 days

- temperature rises very fast upon entering the biome

pros ;

- newer players do not need to wait till autumm to join a public servers.

- players can choose what and when they want to deal with anything and no longer need think about the time too much.

-veteran players can kill all boses much faster without waiting for the seasons.

-all players can join and exit the server without worrying about preparing the next season for thier friends

-encourage newer players to enjoy more endgame content rather than just reseting all the time,(i dont want all of klei hard work to go down the gutter)        (love u klei)

cons;

-game become too easy and some people will be angry thinking this will be like a 2d minecraft eventho that is not the idea.

-(and many more in the comments)

in conclusion this suggestion is to make dst more friendly and pls be king in the comments

What your wanting is probably one of the first threads I made years ago when I joined these forums, a now archived thread called “Isles of the Constant” which the TL:DR of that was to separate the games cluster of biomes into their own islands to sail between, each island having its own weather, mobs and bosses.

The intention of this was so that beginner level friends could have a peaceful experience on the starting Island before building a boat a venturing into more difficult areas, for example: My Newbie friends get killed often just accidentally wandering into Dragonfly’s Biome, so I wanted this boss moved to her own Island full of hot temperatures on a Shipwrecked style volcanic biome with Magmatic/lava themed mobs roaming the island outside of the Boss herself.

The beginning Biome where none of the bosses or harsher weathers happen would be set up similar to the Two Worlds story campaign chapter from Dont Starve Solo: Meaning that once you left the starting area: Via Sick Wormhole- It’s a one way trip & you can’t go back.

This thread got reactions from the Devs and ever since then I’ve been ever so hopeful they will redesign the entire game to be more like that now archived suggestion.

But it’s been years since then & nothings changed, what’s worse: Is people can now spawn bosses Intentionally or Accidentally all from right inside your base: (Eye of Terror, Twins of Terror, Lord Fruit Fly)

so even though that thread got like reactions from a few members within the Klei development team: I highly doubt we’re going to see them spread out the difficulty of the games content so that it is more similar to Minecraft or Portal Knights Portals.

you can change seasons or even diseable them before launching your world (now we can change it in already created worlds) or you can teach them in a fresh one..

im totally in in terms of adding biomes with their own weather

i know u can change season in the middle but then i would basically make it ALMOST permenantly autumm. cause my friends have lives outside of this game. haha *sobbing*.

That's a lotta work and changes for the sake of nothing really. 

Try giving them thermal stone, lantern, umbrella and helmet next time they join your world. Meaby then they won't die in first 5 days.

You don’t actually need all that though, I’ve lived almost exclusively off just continuing to craft the starting resources you get when joining already in progress servers, Birds that land near you in the first few days that YOU are in the server (not how long the server has been active, but how long you’ve been active..) will drop flint near you. You can get by just fine with what’s available.

The only time it doesn’t help is when you don’t know how to craft more..

if your a Noob (as the op states his friends are..) then you probably don’t know how to throw down rabbit traps, skip the whole baiting it with food process and instead just running rabbits into it for Rabbit Earmuffs. You can also enter/exit the server to have free light protection if your caught out at night without a light source.

Which considering you get enough starting resources for 1 torch you shouldn’t ever be without a light source.

Of course all of this is going to boil down to how knowledgeable you are with the game, and knowing how to survive without relying upon the thermal stone/lanterns.

If you leave your starting area before your birds spawn to give you flint might be the only possible mistake you can make when joining an already ongoing server.

well, better than change the entire game mechanics into a permanent autumn with few dangerous zones

i like biomes with unique weathers but reworking the entire game 8snt worth and less in that way

edit: i play with people who dont know how to craft a thermla and the server aleays reach +600. Just help them and forget about doing difficult stuff until they are kinda confortable  with the game

you will learn a lot too because tkaing care of 3 babies changes the game

which game? each seas0n in dst bring diff content / item / bosses and diff chlallenges to overcome (rain / cold /heat) compared to just snow and sand

i am pretty sure it is worth something since a major rework like that might pull in more new commers and veterans can potentially "beat the game" even faster (kill every boss) and it will allows intermeidate and casual players who have a life to reach end game content which help motivate klei into making more late game stuff instaed of new character and refreshes only

a lot of games has biomes with their unique weather, loot, etc just as a way of making the wlakthrow less repetitive

i dont agree

btw everyone who can survive the 4 seasons was a noob. Some people talk about newbies like if they were handicaped cucumbers that can't improve

firstly i would to thank u for your comment and i wanna clerify i just wanna have an open minded diccusion and def NOT argue over a kid's game

"a lot of games has biomes with their unique weather, loot, etc just as a way of making the wlakthrow less repetitive"

pls name some, cuase i am also looking for new games atm hehe.(other than minecraft , valheim), if walkthrough are less repetitive would it not be better for content creators hence better for the viewers as well?

can eleborate? on the i dont agree part.

i have no hate aganist new players and surviving seasons are easy for an intermidate player like me in a solo world. just annoying to prepare for a whole grp of people than difficult . the season machanic for me is just make bases till bosses(i know some boses are not seasoned based) ,waste resorce and time to survive. this "rework" allows me to kill bosses very soon and i dont need to wait 20 days for walking cane , wait 60+ days to fix her damm house cause need cactus flower. i know my reasoning is very "kill every boss" focus but at the same time i believe the season mechanic have put off many people due to how annoying each season which is why reseting server happens so often .unless u solo which kinda remove the dont starve "TOGETHER" part of the game(no hate if u like play alone).but isnt that why there is a ds and ds"t"? ( i miss bigfoot)

just for them to quit on the sixth day cause they realise how annoying the season are in this game. it is easy to  survive when u are playing the server 24/7 have over 100 hours on the game and but very annoying if a normal person spawn in season that are not autumm have dont have the mental capacity to read guides cause most of thier mental stamina is spent to deal real life problems.

Dude, at this point just find different friends to play with.
