blaiblou Posted March 24, 2014 Share Posted March 24, 2014 Hey so I have just been told by my brother that the new Don't Starve update Reign of Giants will be launched soon. I'm not a good writer and am horrible at forums so forgive anything wrong I may type in.So I've got a very meaningful question and the answer might mean whether or not I'll be playing the new update. I'd like to ask what will the possibilities be to update my world, my save file into the update. Will I need to use the teleportato? Because I'd really rather not abandon my current map as I really grew attached to all that I built and all wonders I've found in there.Also I think it's time a nice world updating way or tool was invented by Klei as a means to receive all the awesome new content they bring. Having to abandon world after world, save file after save file to play the new thingies after all the work put into surviving the ever harder and harsher environment is quite the gamebreaking annoyance for me. :[I think that's it. I tried to make it as clear as I could. Please me direct and sensitive in your answers and regarding my question, I'd like a developer or moderator's answer please as I want to be sure it's the right answer. It's something quite big for me.Alright thank you peeples. Awesome day to all.

blaiblou Posted March 24, 2014 Author Share Posted March 24, 2014 I'm sorry I didn't find the edit button on my previous post.I forgot to mention that I've been playing Don't Starve since it's humble and fun begginings from Steam.

simplex Posted March 24, 2014 Share Posted March 24, 2014 No, you can't enable the DLC on an existing save (and most of what the DLC brings requires generating a new map, anyway). But you can keep playing your old save as well without the DLC content, starting another game with the DLC enabled in another slot.

JanH Posted March 25, 2014 Share Posted March 25, 2014 In order to gain access to the DLC content, you'll have to start up a new game. This is because the new content is created through the world gen - which happens when you start up a new game. Also there are new game behaviour and other stuff that has been added into the DLC that doesn't work on original Don't Starve game worlds. Like what Simplex mentioned, you should still be able to continue your old save without DLC content even when you have Reign of Giants installed. But if you would like to play the DLC content, you'll need to start up a new save file.

At the moment, you can purchase the RoG beta through this Humble Widget. You should be able to use PayPal or Amazon Payments on it.

blaiblou Posted March 27, 2014 Author Share Posted March 27, 2014 Oh I see. Well I've just purchased it through amazon and started playing a few days [on a new save T__T] and I've one last question.I read somewhere that the giants aren't yet implemented into the game. My question is, once they are implemented, will my current save become obsolete or will it be updated automatically to contain the giants? Will I have to create yet another save file or will it adjust automatically? Or perhaps will the use of the Teleportato be necessary?Thanks once again, and please give me a happy answer this time. T-TAwesome day to you all Link to comment https://forums.kleientertainment.com/forums/topic/33456-my-world/#findComment-438480 Share on other sites More sharing options...
JanH Posted March 27, 2014 Share Posted March 27, 2014 Because the new stuff is being created in world gen (basically when you start a new world), you'll have to start a new save once the game has been updated in order to get access to the new content. If you're pretty far into your current world, you can still of course continue to play it; it just won't get the new content generated in it.

XirmiX Posted March 27, 2014 Share Posted March 27, 2014 Wouldn't it all change if you just entered a new world through teleportato?Oh, right he didn't want that, well updating a current world in my opinikn would crash the game probably so either way it wouldn't be possible.
