So what are your favourite work themes?

[demon3000]

Winter top. Quiet and calm like falling snow. Another world. Fire divide you from life in frozen wastes.

well, if it were i'd just select all options because every track is a joy to listen to.

Does original Hoedown count?

Well I wouldn't exactly consider the Hoedowns as Work music, but might as well add the Beaver one as it's close enough.

[abrocator]

Melodeath.

[Antynomity]

Summer, Hurricane, Lush, Lunar, they are were all hard to choose from besides RoG (maybe because all of don't starve's soundtrack is amazing)

[Skelewar]

Anyone else turned off the music the second they got annoyed with it starting and stopping and restarting and stopping and resta-

[CaptainChaotica]

I like them so much, I even downloaded the "Dusk and Night Music" mod--because it's kinda disconcerting to have over half the day in total silence (not counting if combat happens, farming, etc.) and in some seasons (Spring, I'm lookin' at you) dusk comes really early.  The Winter Dusk music is super pretty.  The summer dusk music is too, although you (usually) don't get to hear much of it.

Anyway out of the regular work themes, I gotta go spring and summer.  They're the catchiest.  I still like my mom's description of the summer music as soon as she heard it, the best:  "It sounds like an evil polka".

That mod's Winter Dusk rendition is responsible for me learning to apprecaite the normal Winter work theme. The melody gets drowned by all those uh... "plinking" instruments and it always sounded off-putting to me.

My rankings are:

RoG/DST: Spring > Autumn > Summer > Ruins > Winter > Cave > Lunar
SW: Mild > Dry > Hurricane > Monsoon
HAM: Humid > Lush > Temperate

My favorite theme is the ringing in my ears from my tinnitus as I play the game with the volume completely down

Funny how sailing themes get dusk & night variants but work themes don't.

Autumn

Which one?

[CaptainChaotica]

Huh.  That IS odd; the fact that the sailing ones _do_  have dusk and night music shows that Klei isn't against the basic idea..

Maybe they should work with the person who made the "Dusk and Night Music" mod to add post-sundown work themes to the game--many players have been hearing those ones for years, and I think they're pretty good remixes of the originals.  I dunno. It's a thought.

hm, idk about that... The sailing music is really nice since SW oceans are still pretty empty (less empty than DST tho), it feels off when it's just silence.

Wait you are talking about shipwrecked here, right? I know there is sailing music in DST but I haven't noticed variations of it for dusk and night.

[Spino43]

Summer work music is the best for me.

Ruins music comes close. I really dig the "HEE HO HEE HO, HEE HEE HO HO HO"

Yes, only Shipwrecked Sailing Music has dusk & night variants.

Uh. In my case no, I thought the other person was talking about the DST sailing music having its own dusk and night variants.  I didn't notice it last time I went boating at night, but I figured that was because I had the Dusk and Night Music mod ON at the time so...if it was there, I wouldn't've been able to hear it?

Spoiler

Also I wasn't really noticing much, because I was trying not to freeze to death whlie rowing through the night in the snow into the ever-increasingly middle of nowhere, with four cats and an anxious Ticoon.

I'm also kinda bad at DST seafaring in general--you can tell, by the way I just let that random piece of driftwood stick to my boat, like "F it."  : P  (And yeah, I could'a made a sail.  I could'a made a PRETTY sail.  It's just that I didn't expect the journey to be all that long for some reason.)

Last time I DID play Shipwrecked, the Dusk and Night Music mod for regular DS didn't _have_ Shipwrecked version available.  If that's been changed, that's awesome news...

(looks)

Oh it's a NEW mod by a different person.  Huh!  Well, subscribbled anyway.  I'll let y'all know what I think of it next time I take somebody (probably Wendy or Wickerbottom, knowing me + Shipwrecked)

out to meet their watery doom. 
(let's be honest, we all KNOW that's what's gonna happen.  It's me we're talkin' about here.)

TL;DR:  I thought y'all were talking about something else and was confused.  : P

Well, the game has some adjustments to the music like pitch & speed in certain situations so that's probably what you were hearing, but yeah only Shipwrecked has dusk & night themes which I find funny. 

[Riddla]

Spring work theme is amazing because of how it fits so well. The music is pretty much laughing at you, as you're dripping wet, your tools are slipping, and you're running in panic from freezing.

And where would you say you would put the remix in your ranking?

[-Kiyo-]

Had to go pull up a YouTube soundtrack video to remind myself of how it sounded. Autumn Restoration Mod, you know.

I'd rate the Autumn arrange low. Below Cave and above Lunar. The more restrained orchestal rendition loses a lot of the whimsy from the original, which while peaceful has hints of melancholy and misadventure in its instruments.
