how much do you guys mod your game?

[fabin]

a few years back, i decided to disable a big portion of my mods and go 2014-RoG-style, and ever since then i've just kinda never switched back. so i wondered how many people mod their game by what amount

yea

[ChintzyGnat]

Thermal durability and epic health bar are all I use.

I just use qol for base building so geometric drop placment and muting annoying noises.

[AliceShiki]

Cute character mods that aren't OP are a personal favorite of mine.

Other than that... Mostly QoL stuff? Like Ice Flingomatic Range, Geometric Placement, Healthbars, Improved HUD, minimap, shared map between allies and the like?

Oh, and of course, the most important mod of them all... Touhou Music Mod. I cannot live without that one.

[Gi-Go]

Client mods...

For pvp I use whatever mods can give any kind of advantage including something bizarre like the ability to use ice staffs while in weremoose or ordering minions to attack targets from any distance. It's competitive and other players aren't any better so might as well go down to their level.

On klei public I use exploration "hacks" like night vision, camera zoom out and snow disabler. You can only play so much without pause or breaks so I just skip the exploration and get to the point. 

On megabase I use stuff like geometric placement, gift opener, combined status and other simple mods for convenience and relaxed playstyle.

On challenge runs or solo rushing I don't use client mods at all and just stick with dst alone and epic healthbar.

As for other server mods I desided to finally try them out after refusing to touch any for over 10k hours. And the first thing I went for of course is the anime girls character mods. I'll try out uncompromising for the first time later and then I'll just check and see if theres something cool in the library.

[Well-met]

I do my own fixes to the game for things that make no sense like tumbleweeds not falling into the sea.

[Evelo]

I use to mod the heck out of the game but over time I don';t use much. Most of my server side mods affect world generation which don't become relevant in game.

[chirsg]

My cheatiest mod is zoom +

Option 2, is a little tenuous. I have 2 worlds with zero mods, but if I'm bored with the game, I'll start a new world with mods that shake up everything, such as island adventures

[GreenBowers]

Ive used combined statuses for so long I forgot what the hud originally looked like. 

[GenomeSquirrel]

Geometric Placement

Forced attack (I kill too many rabbit people, and the default attack not working on them is an annoyance, I tried assigning both attack and force attack to the same key but that didn't fix things, so I used a mod to force attack by default, while the toggle button use normal attack)  and now that I'm thinking of it, I should probably look for a smarter attack mod, one that doesn't attack walls when fighting shadow demons, if that's possible.

Pinger (I tried resisting it, but so many people use it for communication)

I also downloaded a mod for Willow's lunar perks to be assigned to multiple buttons, I am mostly a switch console gamer, and the fire skills are too mouse focused where a single button press is sufficient.

[Jimothywastaken]

for server mods i use epic health bar and beefalo status (also world gen mods if i plan for it to be a long term world)
for client mods i just use the usual offenders and nautical hud 

[Theukon-dos]

I don't remember the last time I played a serious world without Uncompromising Mode In all honesty. It's not even all about the difficulty anymore. By this point UM may as well be a Reign of Giants-tier expansion with just how much it changes, introduces, and addresses.

 

Other than that, I do play with a few QoL mods, though I also like mods that fill a niche that Klei's left empty. Most notable ADM's Celestial Tools mod to give the Lunar Island more uses than just a fancy axe and some avacado trees.

[BezKa]

I use some basics that I could do without, like geometric placement, gesture wheel, mute pets begging, restore old pickup sounds (sorry Klei the new ones are super annoying to me personally) for client.

For server I use only tame beefalo no poop and no skill trees (because they suck).

And frankly, the common use of combined status baffles me.

I think I never played without combined statuses tbh... I don't even know what the HUD is meant to look like. The friend that got me into the game just recommended it to me, and I never looked back.

I mean... It's just great QoL?

Like, I get that it also provides some info that the game wasn't meant to be showing, but... It's just more convenient to play with it?

I don't understand why anyone would want to play a game like Don't Starve that is all about not knowing things with "show me everything" mod. It's just my opinion though, I'm glad people are having fun. I just don't understand it.

I just don't want to drag my mouse all over the screen everytime I want to check my stats, simple as that. Same logic as quick drop and integrated backpack inventory. The temperature stat is a little cheesy, but it was handy for winter/summer starts, though it's not really important when using a thermal stone.

Ah always wondered how some people made a direct beeline to the ruins using only a torch... Clients mods should be disabled on klei public servers by default. Klei public should be the most vanilla way to play. Its not fair if some people use client mods to boost themselves over other people.

all biomes are connected to muddy so you can just keep going to the world's middle by looking at where it is judging by where can you move the camera to on the map screen or just going through cave biomes that you find e.g. guano, rocky, spilagmite, blue mushroom etc. and the entrance to lichen is practically always around where the a lot of lightbulbs and a lot of stalagmites biomes connect

so there'd be almost no people playing them because they can't even use combined status, item info or whatever?

Yeah I don't know what exsactly are you worried about. That someone's gonna rush the ruins and kill guardian before you? It's a public server that kind of thing is expected even before people started to use crazy mods. Just by joining 2 days late you could miss out on content.

Doesnt matter you shouldnt be able to cheat on any game that has multiplayer on a public multiplayer server. "Isn't competitive" is not a valid excuse to allow cheating.

Pretty sure there is a client mod to reveal map. It can still be abit of RNG to find muddy biome but the people ive seen make a perfect straight line to ruins.

Thats fine. Atleast people who want to experience DST in the truest vanilla coop way, can without admin moderation.

Klei public servers are popular because number one: its the klei official server and number two: it has no true admins of any kind. Overzealous dedicated server admins are the worst.

Thats fine but atleast make it a fair playing field. You rushing ancient guardian before me because you have a hacked moggles and map reveal isnt fair. 

And it sets a bad standard for the game. The community and klei are already too laxed when it comes to bugs. Lets hold Klei to a higher standard so we get better content, please and thank you.

it is, since it isn't hurting anyone

you can find ruins about as fast as someone with client side full map reveal if you know how worldgen works

nope

you can also do that, might need to search around the borders for less than a minute to find the entrance to monkey biome but that's it, you can do practically everything that you can do with full map reveal with skill instead

they already can, you might not even know that people have those mods and why would you care

that probably isn't the reason, the reason is likely that most other servers have mods

ruining some people's fun isn't a higher standard nor related to better content

Are you just straight up unable to put yourself in another person's shoe for once? Or are you just that selfish and stubborn when it comes to arguing on the forums?

they could've just found it before you and same thing would've happened, mods aren't required for that to happen

Or 

"Let's explore the ocean anyways, I love it and I love how empty it is".

Whats the point us having all these discussions about character balances and content balances when every character can have wx78's night vision when every character can locate everything super easy because of client mods? Client mods that i bet arnt even hard to find.

When you allow cheats then all the discussions about everything become irrelevant.

because you can decide to not play with them or not even know about them

they don't because you can not use cheats

idk, game remaining fun is most important, a character being fun is more important than a character being equally as useful as other characters
