1. what core experience? core experience is survival for a survival game. Lunar mutations are a survival mechanic. My experience has been improved, so no idea what you are talking about.

2. Sounds like a laziness problem, not a gameplay problem. You are here deciding that all players do not like this feature, when in reality, I know a lot of players who do. So how should the devs know which players to please? They added the setting to be able to please both, which should be a win-win for everyone, but you are complaining that pressing a button for 10 seconds is too tedious for you to enjoy days worth of gameplay.

3. Who are they? We are not forced to experience something we dislike. We are enjoying the thing. If Klei did it the other way around, thenit will be us, who enjoy said content, who would be needing to tweak the settings. So why are you the one deciding that Klei should favor your preference over another group of players' preferences?

Your entire argument is that "The game sucks because I need to tweak the settings of a game that is meant to be customizeable, in order for the game to be as good as I want it to be, I don't care about how other players want to play the game." A "one default setting" is objectively worse as it will only cater to a very small specific set of players' playstyle. Klei did a good decision to make the game tweakable to each players' liking. Every thing you are complaining about can be removed if you don't want it. Only reason players won't tweak it is if you are too ashamed to not play on "default" settings, as an "elite" gamer. Also new players can see the gigantic "easy mode" in the very beginning of creating a world. 
 

I never said I don't care how other players want to play the game.
My point is that Klei should focus on releasing updates that most players enjoy, instead of adding features that only about half of the community likes. That's clearly not the win-win situation you describe - it's a one-sided win and a one-sided loss.
Klei has already proven they're capable of making updates that appeal to the majority, from the diverse cooking recipes in the past to the recent pumpkin carving event. What Klei needs to do now is study what players as a whole actually enjoy, and build around that.

I imagine that's a big part of what they do, tbh... If they didn't, they probably wouldn't be able to keep a steady number of players for so many years.

Using a spiderhat and crystal buzzards nearby, you can make huge herds of spiders infight, and the buzzards will land and annihilate the entire group no sweat. The moon spiders that spawn afterwards can then be commanded to fight each other again, generating more silk. And any nearby spider queens can be easily killed with an army of moon spiders.

i’d imagine this could be very interesting for webber players

this update has made spider hats way more valuable than before

The text above mentions that "Don't Starve Together" is a survival game. Please answer my questions:

1. Why does Klei deliberately arrange rift generation to avoid existing buildings? Since it's a survival game meant to make pressure, why does rift placement consider player bases? Did any tornado or tsunami consider your houses?

2. Why do Giant attacks require warning time for players to evacuate buildings? Shouldn't survival games deliver sudden attacks that destroy everything without warning?

3. Why Klei released so many quality-of-life updates? In survival games, staying alive is priority one - why optimize repetitive actions?

4. Similarly, why do your-called "survival game players" approve these quality updates? Shouldn't they prefer higher survival pressure instead of comfort enhancements?

 

These points are all original Klei designs (not players' mods). Do they conflict with current absurd mechanics like Crystal-Crested buzzard instantly destroying Houndius Shootius with just one shot of fire?

Different players got their different playing style in DST. And Klei DO RESPECT those farming players before, but this time they don't. These changes even didn't get a test or feedback in the beta. That's where the illogic from.

becuase survival games need their bases? almost all survival game i know dont have building targeted threats in general , using a real life example to compare a game mechanic makes no sense

Is called balancing , all good games give player time to react to threats or make threats appear in predictable timing so they can deal with them

 dst isnt designed to be the most hardcore survival game, so i think gameplay experiences is more important then game difficulty

probably becuase they are here to play games and not being played by the game
