Cookie95 Posted June 10, 2022 Share Posted June 10, 2022 One of my favourite QOL changes was the addition of the quick drop feature for both practical and visual reasons (made decorating so much better!). On the contrary after returning to DST from a 5 month break, I just can't get used to the new crafting menu and don't see myself liking it any time soon. In your opinion, what are the best and worst QOL changes the game has seen in the past few years? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

. . . Posted June 10, 2022 Share Posted June 10, 2022 Generally, I liked all the QoL updates as they were all pretty great. The only ones I disliked was when they added that wacky mouse-click attack thing which caused a lot of shenanigans (I hope it never comes back or they add an option for it I don't want to play with such an annoying thing) and I don't really like how characters now talk once they leave a state but also have text above their heads as it usually looks odd, I'd prefer if they just made it so characters can talk while in any state by swapping between talking mouths using face overrides though with how many skins there are definitely not a chance for that lol.

Cheggf Posted June 11, 2022 Share Posted June 11, 2022 Best qol change was definitely the new crafting menu. Can't think of any bad qol changes off the top of my head. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kyno Posted June 11, 2022 Share Posted June 11, 2022 Be able to play with multiple seasonal events at the same time, like Winter's Feast + Hallowed Nights. The new world settings QoL was one of the best in my opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SonicDen220 Posted June 11, 2022 Share Posted June 11, 2022 Turf recipe changes deserve more attention. Getting 4 per craft, stacking to 20, lower costs and not needing to be near the terrra firma tamper. Cobblestones alone are a win in my book, not needing stacks upon stacks of boards and having to go out of your way for rocky turf. Least liked - no idea, honestly. I don't recall any QoL changes that made me go "man, that's not good a change". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cropo Posted June 11, 2022 Share Posted June 11, 2022 I liked the buffs to various items, I'm not sure if I should qualify them as multiple changes or a singular change but the insulated pack which was kinda not very good became a great upgrade to the normal backpack, Thulecite club durability buff, suncaller staff lasting much longer than it originally did in SP. Least liked in that vein is the ''nerf'' to thermal stones giving them durability. I understand the nerf because they're so much better than they were back then but still Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Owlrust Posted June 11, 2022 Share Posted June 11, 2022 I would say my favorite QoL change was the buff to Woodie's totems not having a spoilage. Very nice, made keeping totems on me a lot more viable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

user1464576869 Posted June 11, 2022 Share Posted June 11, 2022 All of them have been good in my eyes. Even the crafting UI rework which is a back and forth on various points I couldn't describe as least liked- since parts of it is close to most liked. A favourite I suppose would be the World Settings upgrade, changing things back and forth after generating. Speaking of, am I mistaken or is there no setting for the amount of moose/goose nests that spawn at world gen? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goatt Posted June 11, 2022 Share Posted June 11, 2022 Crafting UI's appearance is my least fav. It has large screen pollution and the organization is questionable. However, the crafting UI philosophy and pinned recipes are good. But again the looks of the UI has large potential for improvement. Also the fact people who dislike it are forced to adapt it is sad.

You are not forced to adapt. You can make a mod for the old UI if you want. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Martinarse Posted June 12, 2022 Share Posted June 12, 2022 Least liked :pretty much everything they changed in the crafting menu. The game is slow now. Maybe that's why they brought the pause option back. Plus covers half the screen. Mid battle you can't see the enemy. Most liked : I'll get back to you when I find one.

W0l0l0 Posted June 12, 2022 Share Posted June 12, 2022 Only change I'm not a fan of is the Fuelweaver bonecage attack being able to grab you when you're at the edges of the map. Though I am aware it may have changed unintentionally as collision and such were updated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ArubaroBeefalo Posted June 13, 2022 Share Posted June 13, 2022 Just now, goatt said: But when the menu is open, it’s screen pollution, and I can’t multitasking or see enemies actions. idk why you cant multitaks and even less when you can use Q and E to rotate the camera what enemies? shadows only appear when you are insane and make noises, spiders live in specific areas, hounds are a thing from the past. And during combat you only need to craft weapons, light or armor and these things should be in the quick access pinnes which makes you able to multitask better than with the old menu On 6/12/2022 at 12:08 AM, goatt said: the organization is questionable. also...is way better than the old one with birdcage in structures, scaled furnace only on light or decorative turfs on structures just to name few. The devs said that we should suggest other organization if we find items on wrong places or filters lacking items, some of us did it and they changed it so i dont understand this complain when you could name the items so they improve it instead of empty complains Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goatt Posted June 13, 2022 Share Posted June 13, 2022 3 minutes ago, ArubaroBeefalo said: what enemies? For example, shadows. When I farm shadows, I don’t stand still and waiting for them to show up. I’m always multitasking and building something. The large screen blockage makes such trivia thing very risky. “Making noises” isn’t always reliable for me, visual cue is what I rely on, call me noob. Another example, if I wanna mine a boulder next to a tall bird when my pickaxe wear out, I could scroll and make axe while dodge tall birds’ attack. Now, the only way you can do it is by putting stuff on pinned slots. A lot of the examples are similar to that one, like when enemy is chasing me, I need to craft a new armor, but can’t see the distant etc. But the extra layer of cautious management of pinned menu before doing certain tasks means the UI itself isn’t easy enough, and pinned slots serve as a workaround to make up for the shortcoming. In other words, pinned slots are required and required to be arranged a certain way, in order to counter the screen pollution (and extra clicks). Pinned slots are not a innately convenient tool, but it’s convenient in comparison to the crafting menu’s UI. 15 minutes ago, ArubaroBeefalo said: idk why you cant multitaks and even less when you can use Q and E to rotate the camera The fact that you have to use QE to multitask (which I’m not comfortable to use), means screen pollution, means you can see enemies in both directions, means risky multitasking. You know what’s interesting? It’s not hard to design a UI with less screen pollution. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

goatt Posted June 13, 2022 Share Posted June 13, 2022 @ArubaroBeefalo I do rotate camera a lot, like 100 times in the first min of a new game. But I can only see roughly half of the screen no matter how I rotate if blocked by UI I don’t expect you to “agree” with me, because you apparently like the changes. But I want my subjective experience expressed and heard regardless how unpopular it is. That’s why I always pop up and support the posts opposite to your experience. And honestly, I don’t think my needs hurt you, because all I ask is an option of using (redesigned) old menu. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BOT Tuja Posted June 15, 2022 Share Posted June 15, 2022 Ancient Guardian fight was probably the best, but there are a lot of runner ups. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bumblingbumbo Posted June 15, 2022 Share Posted June 15, 2022 My least favorite might just be the crafting menu, because it takes a bit to navigate. That being said... My favorite is also the crafting menu. I love to be able to finally walk around with it open, and just for that, I wouldn't take back the old one for anything.
