The Starver Posted February 18 Share Posted February 18 I finally bought DST on Steam! I started playing on public servers, and I got to thinking: Is there any kind of unspoken “code of conduct?” At the very least, what are some things I could do to be a good player? I main Walter on servers; I have read over 80% of the wiki (maybe more), and have read posts here for a while. That said, I don’t actually have any experience playing the game. Thoughts? 1 Link to comment https://forums.kleientertainment.com/forums/topic/169846-server-etiquette/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

I usually try to leave as little impact as possible on the server. I will try to consider whether something will impact everybody else as much as possible. 1 Link to comment https://forums.kleientertainment.com/forums/topic/169846-server-etiquette/#findComment-1851928 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leave base if hounds or deerclops is the basic. Less stated things: 1. If base is near buzzards, put glommer on a boat. If base is in Decidious, make sure catcoons cant kill. 2. Try sort chests nice and dont be lazy about it. 3. If your Wendy, dont put Abigail on aggressive in base. 4. Be wary if you are spending all of a bases resource on something. Sometimes its better to use your own resources. 5. Always pick resources when they are available. It gives your team a ton of resources since most people only pick when they need them and dont stockpile. 1 1 Link to comment https://forums.kleientertainment.com/forums/topic/169846-server-etiquette/#findComment-1851929 Share on other sites More sharing options...

DegenerateFurry Posted February 19 Share Posted February 19 1. Make sure that when you find the mandrakes, you cook them and feed them to pigs or spiders, preferably with players around and a boss fight going on. Everyone will appreciate it! 2. The Terrarium summons a fun boss fight, so make sure to use it every night! But keep it a secret who's using it, it's more fun that way. If you get one, give it a Nightmare Fuel first for double the fun! 3. Setting a mob on fire near the base can make for an interesting challenge everyone will enjoy. 4. If a player's annoying you, just catch a moleworm, make five gunpowder, and make a rabbit trap, then stand next to the annoying player, drop the gunpowder, the trap, and the moleworm in that order. Try to back away quickly once the mole drops. It'll teach them a lesson! Might want to keep a watering can on hand if you don't want anything to burn, though. 5. If you find the Pan Flute, take it to Pearl's island and leave it there as a gift. 6. If you end up in the ruins, remember to smash all the Ancient Pseudoscience Stations for the extra loot chance! 7. If you're playing Walter and you have the slingshot grips perk, you need to get Glommer on the first full moon (night 11). Kill him immediately to get the goo you need quicker! 8. WX-78 players in particular think it's a really funny joke if you make water balloons and throw them at them. 9. If you're playing Webber, remember to use the Shoo Box to dismiss your spiders in the base so they go home and totally don't attack anyone or anything like that! 10. The fire pit in the base is very hammerable at night, give it a try!

Cheggf Posted February 19 Share Posted February 19 Literally just don't intentionally try to cause problems. If you want to go above and beyond you can try to be a net positive to pooled resources instead of a net negative. Deposit more food than you take and such. 1 Link to comment https://forums.kleientertainment.com/forums/topic/169846-server-etiquette/#findComment-1851935 Share on other sites More sharing options...

You forgot that webber is always an appreciated character to join a public server, specially one with many players already. And to make your little spider farm of 10-20 tier 3 dens clumped together at half a screen of the base. And never attend them.

The Starver Posted February 19 Author Share Posted February 19 Fortunately, I am Walter. I may switch to Winona or Wilson being my main server characters at some point, though.

Gashzer Posted February 19 Share Posted February 19 As Walter ask a wormwood player for a bramble husk in exchange for a camper tent. Or have 2 healing salves ready with the stingers and ask for bramble husk. Its really good armour to use with Walters pinecone hat 1 Link to comment https://forums.kleientertainment.com/forums/topic/169846-server-etiquette/#findComment-1851963 Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Starver Posted February 19 Author Share Posted February 19 One thing I love is how the Flutter Wrap skill synergizes with Wortox. You only need 3 butterfly wings, and you can make a good healing item. Wortox players almost ALWAYS have a butterfly farm for souls, so getting the materials is easy.
