Liamaster Posted September 16, 2014 Share Posted September 16, 2014 With the upcoming event of "Don't starve together closed beta" (Which is now closed) I thought that I would make a little forum topic about... Lets say, Preparing for Don't Starve Together, TOGETHER! So basically, what the idea is, we start a fresh, new game of don't starve, using you favorite character- just for fun. Then we play from day 1, to day 20! (Every 20 days now!)Once we hit selected day, we take a screenshot of our base, and our map, to show each other how much we've achieved since day 1! I think this would be great for preparing for don't starve together, as well as comparing each others idea/strategy- our play style when it comes to this game, just for fun!Feel free to post your own base, if you attempt this, remember- this is just for fun, no worries if you wouldn't want to share your ideas, you can just look at each others play style, see if you get any ideas for improving! Here's a quick screenshot of my base:I managed to find Chester, Glommer and "The king of Pigs" already!And heres the map:So maybe if you guys would like to try this out, then please, post your screenshots, im dying to know how you all play!And remember: Don't Starve! I liked that pun... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zeklo Posted September 17, 2014 Share Posted September 17, 2014 Very good idea actually! I probably won't participate but I look forward to seeing those who do! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
strydevex Posted September 17, 2014 Share Posted September 17, 2014 I will happily participate, but I will undoubtedly be one of the worse examples. I've only got 20ish hours across PS4 and Steam Don't Starve, and I'm still not very good, but I would appreciate constructive criticism or ideas when I do post my screenshot!

BerryPunch Posted September 17, 2014 Share Posted September 17, 2014 I'll participate but i'll probably die before I reach whatever day is decided Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaptQueeg Posted September 17, 2014 Share Posted September 17, 2014 Sounds like a fun idea! Day 20 is great because it is a good hopefully post-winter-prep day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Liamaster Posted September 17, 2014 Author Share Posted September 17, 2014 I'm glad many like this idea already! (+39 views already? wow!)And don't worry if you are not the best, at this game, (I normally play it for a few weeks, then get bored, and wait a few months, then play it again, but don't starve together is a great excuse!) This isn't a competition, its more of a... friendly interaction! And i still can't believe i found Glommer that early on... Next to the king of pigs... Hes my ne wprofile picture... lolSounds like a fun idea! Day 20 is great because it is a good hopefully post-winter-prep day.Sounds good! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MenaAthena Posted September 17, 2014 Share Posted September 17, 2014 This sounds fun! I'll start a new game up right away! (I don't have RoG yet though ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ailailou Posted September 17, 2014 Share Posted September 17, 2014 Sounds fun, but I have some questions after reading the op post and some screenshots from above: 1) Shouldn't each person play the vanilla game for starters considering that for the first part of the beta Reign of Giants won't be included? 2) Shouldn't each player start their session without any mods at all? We don't know how the mods will be handled during multiplayer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Liamaster Posted September 17, 2014 Author Share Posted September 17, 2014 ok i got to day 20 and here's my base: my mane camp: 2014-09-17_00001.jpg farms: 2014-09-17_00002.jpg2014-09-17_00003.jpg2014-09-17_00004.jpg map:2014-09-17_00005.jpgLooks good! I'm about to play for a few more days (cap 20) then i'll post a new screenshot, probably won't look as different, but whatever, lol! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We don't know how the mods will be handled during multiplayer.1) You're right, but it shouldn't matter which version they play as, whatever each person is comfortable with, for example, maybe one persons favorite character is only available in Reign of giants, but it doesn't matter which version! 2) I normally just play vanilla, but if its a mod like maybe... Inventory organization, extra inventory space ect. something that helps the player out, but doesn't essentially add anything extra to the game, so mods like that are cool!I only have a few more days left until day 20, but who knows, i might start a new file- as my true favorite character?

Liamaster Posted September 17, 2014 Author Share Posted September 17, 2014 Ohh I love it, when do we start!!?Just start on day 1 with any character, (preferable your favourite)then play until post winter, or day 20. You shouldn't make any alters to the world options, but its up to you!Then, on day 20, you take screenshots of your home base, and map to show us all you have accomplished!Then, post the screenshots on this forum, Fun!

Warewolves Posted September 17, 2014 Share Posted September 17, 2014 I have where's my beefalo and Always on stats simply because I like playing with them on. I can remove them. I recently started this rog world, so I'm simply going to use that as it's near the 20 day mark. I used day 19 mainly to take the pictures and gather grass, as I am too low to really make it through winter if I want to keep myself from camping. My campsite.This is camp winter:It's not the fanciest one, but you can see the many rabbit holes and the start of the line of trees around it. I haven't gone full farm due to the fact I only need to catch four rabbits a day to feed myself. I won't be using my trees for the fire much however, as the beefalo's wool is a much more viable option for winter. This is the area surroundng my base. There was two beefalo heards, but one was too close to the pig torches and they got decimated through repeated respawnings. I managed to save most of the meat however. Above is a heard I moved away from my base due to it migrating straight on top of it during heat. After I used them to take down a 3rd tier spider den, They camped nearby and I left the nest up there. This is the second half of the island, where the rocks and everything else are. They're about a day's walk due to the awesome placement of road. And here's a full picture of the island. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Monkey_BBZ Posted September 17, 2014 Share Posted September 17, 2014 Looks like everyone gets farms up quickly, but I usually focus on getting Drying Racks, shaving Beefalo and killing/trapping Spiders before winter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't blame me, blame the beefalo that stormed my camp and pooped everywhere that I had to clean up or listen to the flies for eternity.

I think turf falls under the same catergory as grass tufts. Great for the fire, but what do you do when it's all gone? Turf isn't so bad of course, but I shudder at the rookie who uses the tufts because they burn well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Liamaster Posted September 17, 2014 Author Share Posted September 17, 2014 Aight, finally made it to day 20, my map hasn't changed at all, but i made a few alters to, to prepare for winter, of course. Here's the main view:Added lightning rods, rain-o-meters, ect. Here's my rabbit trapsQuickly made those within 2 days, with winter around the corner. Now, my berry, sapling, and grass farm.Still need to fertilize a hand full of grass tufts, and berry bushes, kinda got the farm set up at the last second...And now, my farm, farm...I will be playing this as my solo file, but its really fun sharing with you guys! I have not come across the bearger, but i have a bad feeling of whats awaiting for me in winter..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks good so far. Word to the wise: Put images in spoilers. If I may make a suggestion, work out how far away the emergency rations are, and where you're respawn thingy is(If you found one). Have you got a means of defending yourself? (EG: Beefalo, swamp, pigs) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(EG: Beefalo, swamp, pigs) yeah, guess I forgot about the spoiler thing, lol, ill make sure to fix that right away!And also, if you look at my map, you will see a touchstone close to the middle/right area, I plan on making a chest their filled with supplies, in case i die. But its only day 20, i normally don't die that early lol.And also, if you look at my map, you will see a huge savanna, there's a few dozen beefalo there, if a giant spawns, i usually try and lure it out their, the giant kills about 89% of the beefalo, but then the giant dies.This way, i get lots of meat, and the giants drop, without having to fight the giant, itself.However, this is not the best of techniques...The aftermath leaves me with almost no beefalo, thus unable to get any-or as much manure. I would have to find another herd, but it would be much farther away, and I estimate it would take a day and a half, just to get the manure I would need.I admit: This isn't the best of tactics, but its all I got! lolIf any of you have a better strategy, please, reply to this post, lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
