Forge and Gorge in DST

[Bernado1]

Hi people, yesterday I talked to my friend as we played DST and I realized he never played before 2019 (the year we started playing together in our own server), and more so, he never once got to experience the gorge and forge content, so I thought about this a little, and did a bit of research, and turns out, some of the items already got ported to DST, like some foods and armor.

Quick note: I know that the events have different art styles, gameplay elements and rewards/goals to achieve and is not THAT easy just to port all the code and stuff into DST and call it a day. Just Doing this as food for thought.

There's always hope that we can access the forge/gorge (and its loot) in a rift made by the survivors to escape the constant in a future update

I thought I read somewhere that they’re for sure not bringing back forge/gorge because servers were too expensive and difficult to maintain.

It’s been years since I read that and I have no idea where to even begin looking for the source of that so take it with a major grain of salt but if that were true I would love to see it in some form or another in private/offline worlds at least.

The thing is that these events have mechanics that make them different games from DST survival aspects, the Forge being a fighting game and the Gorge being a cooking game.

The Forge had armors and weapons that were meant to counter enemies with special attacks and abilities, these are mechanics not present on the main game and the closest we got was plantar defense.

While the farming system of the Gorge managed to be implemented with an overhaul, the rest of the event's mechanics would feel too much for preparing dishes when we already have the Crock Pot, it may be simple but does the job well.
