I hope we start in separate areas... or have the option to

[SaphironX]

Seriosuly, don't starve has always been difficult, brutal even at times. I really want to start in a different part of the world from my friends, make an epic journey to find them, etec etc... we should definitely have that option.

 

Starting together would be way too easy... I want to struggle to survive.

I'm pretty sure that's what they are already planning.

Please read Klei's postings in the Pinned threads. They have already mentioned players spawn in different areas, especially important if PvP is being done. 

[SaphironX]

Woohoo!

 

As long as it's true for coop I'm happy as hell.

Obviously this is a very WIP but so we all don't gank our own starting resources, we're a distance away...but not too far to be found of course. 

[SaphironX]

I hope we get an option on distance... I could see crossing the contenent to find our buddies being fun, maybe not every time.

I hope it would be an option, for the first time we paly it would be epic to do a journey to each other... but it probably won't be that much fun the next time we do that..

Being together would even make things harder. You need double the food to survive on the same area if you were alone, it's not like you cover more distance when together except when splitting up, which wouldn't really be "being together".

 

For example

Alone: You run around, eat every berry on a berry bush and can maintain your hunger like that.

As two: You run around, take turns with eating berries from bushes, ultimately leading to you getting half the berries, making both of you slowly die unless you find additional sources.

 

The only advantages of coop together would be that building a base is faster and the combat.
