qelmcpc Posted October 24, 2014 Share Posted October 24, 2014 Hello!I 'm posting here in order to have some of your feedbacks: should i see some guides, to survive longer? I'm asking myself this because I'm not very good at this game (max of 15 days) and I'd like to improve, but also play with fun. Does reading guides remove this fun, of discovering new things, etc.? Thanks a lot guys! Link to comment https://forums.kleientertainment.com/forums/topic/42752-question-about-reading-guides/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks a lot guys!I think discovering it yourself is a huge part of the fun, but if your playing the game just to see how long you can survive, Guides are very helpful. Or if you just don't know what to do next, use guides.

Cboxhero Posted October 24, 2014 Share Posted October 24, 2014 I wouldn't say it becomes VERY easy. It's just ... easiER. You still have everything trying to kill you, you'll just know how to combat it a little better.

Hellkitty Posted October 24, 2014 Share Posted October 24, 2014 What I did was check out the Don't Starve Wiki. I didn't really read a guide yet. But I think reading the wiki helped me understand things much better, and I was able to figure out things I wanted to try, in order to survive longer. Helped me think in different ways, gave me different ideas etc. Just gained more understanding is all. I wouldn't say it spoiled anything for me personally, but everyone is different. Good luck with what you choose. Have fun!

orian34 Posted October 24, 2014 Share Posted October 24, 2014 i think the best things is to search for the recipes i took me a month to find them all!

brummbar7 Posted October 24, 2014 Share Posted October 24, 2014 Ok so i won't read guides! To reiterate what orion said, if you have to look at 1 thing on the wiki, look at the crockpot recipes. It would take a long time to find them yourself, and you'd probably waste a ton of food doing it. As for guides, it would depend on the writer, but most will probably expose a LOT of info, possibly spoiling the joy of discovery. If you have a lot of spare time, it'll be more fun to discover things yourself. But if, like many, you have a job or classes or other time demands, you might not have the time to fully discover everything for yourself. You might try limiting yourself to the wiki, and then once you've survived a year you can probably start reading guides and not have TOO much spoiled.

Abenlen Posted October 25, 2014 Share Posted October 25, 2014 I found the guides useful, but for me they were more like minor tips that total spoilers. Even when I read guides from very experienced player I find that some of what they suggest doesn't mesh with my observations and playstyle. For example, a guide might suggest that a player to a, b, and c on their first day, while I ALWAYS do d and e first without fail. For me, reading guides gave me some ideas on how to survive, without taking away the majority of the challenges.

AlphaP Posted October 25, 2014 Share Posted October 25, 2014 Try to figure things out, and check wiki/guides when you can't. There are secrets and tricks you will never find without checking something.

UncommonUsername Posted October 26, 2014 Share Posted October 26, 2014 You can play on *easier* modes by reducing the occurrence of hounds or changing the season settings. When you figure the basic things, you will survive until the second season. You can use guides if you are stuck at one place. Most new players will not know how to make ash or charcoal without reading in a guide first.
