goatt Posted January 5 Share Posted January 5 I build 2 bases and I always play in pub. One on the surface with fig trees, kitchen, basic farms and a defense system, but only a few chests. Chests are for the public, and I personally don't store anything in there. This base is a heaven all year round but can be destroyed easily by the public. However, it can also be rebuilt very easily except for the fig trees. Usually I have 10 ish fig trees, but they are built in a particular way that only fire staff and weather pain can destroy them. I have a second real base for me and people I know well enough to be trusted. The second base is usually deep in cave or deep in random ocean. To conveniently access the second base, I play Wanda 9.99 out of 10 times........ I cope, but Sad. I still enjoy this secretive way of playing DST tho. Just not very chill.

Mike23Ua Posted January 5 Share Posted January 5 I’ve joined peoples servers that were locked to 24/7 summer as Wurt just to prove to myself that I could survive a 24/7 Summer as Wurt- We are not the Same. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

skile Posted January 6 Share Posted January 6 ngl, I joined a pub during summer yesterday and till now didn't even remember wildfires exist. Surprisingly, nothing burnt. (though tbh I joined during, like, 5 last days of summer, some of which were spent in caves anyway). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chirsg Posted January 7 Author Share Posted January 7 The cartel strikes again. Winter. Alone. Spring. Alone. Summer, boom. people join. People join. People join. People join. People join People join people join pleople join people joine poelpon skpojaopjdlkasjdlkjasdklkad It's an actual thing. Klei needs to implement mid game private>public>private etc switching. Mods cannot do it. They can't. Modders are incapable of adding it into the game without you restarting the game and that takes loads of time to buffer. I'm a bit over it. I have a public world to meet new players, but players are too much of a liability. to take care of during summer and unless they go maxwell or wicker to abuse rain in summer, no one can be trusted on the surface. PLEASE KLEI, Add mid game password locks and allow us to make a game public later on. This is actually destroying the "Together" part of the game. I really would love to play with others, but the nature of summer is just too unforgiving with absolutely no fault of my own. I can handle summer and manage wildfires, but I've had too many situations where other players cannot and I'm punished for something I cannot help. And if I happen to spill over from spring to summer while a game is public, I need to either kick a player or ask them to leave because it's too dangerous for them to remain on the server. If I leave the ice crystaleyezer active, they'll often die of freezing and it isn't fun for anyone. Summer by far is the worst season in the game and I won't complain about it as a survival and base protection simulator, but the host of a world is severely punished for letting people roam free during summer, and summer defenses aren't nearly good enough.

Echsrick Posted January 7 Share Posted January 7 i sometimes join random games in autum, winter, spring, and summer AND SURVIVE and find base because people are predictable where base is probably at (its either pigking or oasis most of the time) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are ways around it and you can just cheese summer by embracing your inner mole, but the problem is wildfires. If you choose not to edit the world settings, you get punished for someone else's existence Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you choose not to edit the world settings, you get punished for someone else's existence How is this any different from Antlion Sinkholes, Red Hounds, Some Newbie staying in your base when Deerclops or Bearger Spawns, or Spring lightning strikes? DS isn’t really a game that was designed to play with others.. and when you DO play with others you should be prepared for widespread chaos to ensue. I would suggest putting anything you don’t want burned away in a Wildfire near large tree canopies or down in caves. And if you build a Megabase and Don’t want players to destroy that base- I’d suggest only letting people who you can trust and know what they’re doing to be allowed to join your game. As much as Klei would like for it to be: DST was never designed from the ground up to support Drop In/Drop Out Multiplayer, there are still features present from the single player game that can make multiplayer a pain. There’s even some NEWER features that can make MP a pain, such as someone else’s sanity effecting the entire groups boating trip. But I guess that’s where the word “Uncompromising” comes into the games description though isn’t it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If "uncompromising" is when you get punished by others' mistakes then literally every co-op multiplayer game is uncompromising, which they aren't.

I mean really it depends.. Willow players may be super helpful to distract sanity creatures for people who are going insane using Bernie, but at the cost of Bernie’s Durability in the process. Im a Wendy main so I know first hand how often reviving dead players can eventually take a toll on Wendy’s own survivability, sure she’s the best character in the game to mass farm telltale hearts with, but let other players die enough times & even that is going to take its toll on you. DST wouldve probably faired out better being a 2-3 player coop game, groups larger than that often become chaos. like I mean for example: A Woodie Player has super fast chopping skills which in general would be GREAT if there wasn’t a Wormwood around watching him uproot an entire forest.. Wormwoods Sanity is going to tank itself in this situation- Like Wise…. Wormwood can freely plant seeds he picks up into the dirt no crop plots or maintenance needed- But a wormwood who doesn’t upkeep these crops can cause fruit flies, Or much more recently- Deadly Brightshades to spawn of his randomly planted crops. DST isn’t my go to choice for a Multiplayer game, it can be FUN when and if you find people to play with who enjoy playing in the same ways you do.. But if someone wants to fight BQ, while someone else just wants to go fishing or sailing- The game isn’t multiplayer friendly. AND it’s one of the last games on the planet I’d actually WANT to play with random strangers that I don’t trust. It comes with the territory of multiplayer gaming though, it can be fun with the right people, and a toxic dreadful experience with trolls. Such is the way of Online Gaming.

Reecitz Posted January 7 Share Posted January 7 @Mike23Ua Do you have a mod pack/list of mods that you like to use for the experience you want from the game? Bonus points if it doesn't include Uncompromising Mode. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
