Creating a New World

[Kfoolu]

So I guess perhaps I should start off by saying hello to everyone, as I'm a newcomer to the forums.

I bought Don't Starve a few days ago and have already pumped around 14 hours into it (which is more than I tend to put into most games) and boy am I having a blast! I almost find it hard to believe that such an expansive and polished game is only in it's beta phase.

But now onto my question.

The game offers you the ability to start up a new randomized world if you get tired of your old one.

Obviously this will overwrite my old save, but what I want to know is: will this wipe absolutely all of my progress including researched items, research points and unlocked characters?

[cptCalavera]

nope. Characters, points and researched items will remain.

Though your question has now been answered, welcome to the club.

[Excess]

nope. Characters, points and researched items will remain.

Also, Welcome

That's true for 7 more days. In the next update (which come every other Tuesday) the whole Research points and "what carries on" system will be flushed and rebooted.

Also, welcome again

I looked back over it he says it's coming but it's still not in the preview notes... I dunno if the research overhaul is coming on the 27th.

Hey, thanks a lot for clearing that up guys.

Shame they're changing the system, I kinda like the current one. Poaching Tallbird eggs for SCIENCE!
