A few suggestions to make life better.

[Kitty Cat Meow]

1 - Instead of dropping your items all over the ground, pig kings / birdcages / other item-trading type things should deposit items directly into your inventory (unless your inventory is full). People often steal your stuff!

 

2 - Sometimes on Survival, players enter a server for the sole purpose of AFKing as a ghost, Reviving them is pointless because they'll just starve to death again, They can be a massive thorn in your side.

Solution: If a ghost doesn't do anything at all for 5 minutes, auto-disconnect them.

 

3 - A little "pet peeve" of mine: forced auto attack (CTRL-F) shouldn't attack birds, you'll never hit them.

...Well, maybe you can hit them, but it's like expecting to win the lottery.

 

4 - Tools shouldn't play the "oh no, my tool just broke!" animation when broken during combat, Weapons don't play the animation so why should tools?

Fixed that for ya

1 - whelp, it sucks, but you'll need to time your Pig King trades a little more strategically. You can see player icons when they're nearby. 

2 - I haven't tried it myself, so can someone else comment? Does vote-kick work correctly now, or is it still messed up? For OP, vote-kick is supposed to be an option for all players on dedicated servers to get rid of unruly players when no admin is present. On regular servers, whoever is hosting can kick the player out.

3 - I hear ya, I have accidentally attacked Glommer far too many times to count. Such is life. Force-attack is force-attack, regardless of entity. If you don't want to force-attack friendlies, use regular attack. 

4 - haven't observed it myself, I guess I get way too caught up in battle, haha. If this is the case though, totally agree.

Why are you fighting with tools in the first place?

Spear takes like 2-3 days to make and there's really no reason to use anything else weaker than a spear later.

Such is life when dealing with public servers, if your the host and this bugs you, then kick them.  If your not the host and just part of a public server, then either try to ask them to share and not be greedy, or wait till people aren't around to do these things.

This I wouldn't mind, I only ever play private servers with my friends, but that just sounds like pretty annoying griefing.

 

If your the host of that server though you should just kick them.  But if that's a dedicated survival server, then it probably won't last long anyway so I'd suggest hosting one yourself.

I wouldn't mind some alterations to forced attack, primarily I'd like if the (F) key targets hostile creatures even if they aren't after me.  This can be a little annoying when dealing with killer bees who are attacking my friend or chester.

Don’t Starve is an uncompromising wilderness survival game full of science and magic. 

 

Single player don't starve had weapons do this too, but DST had this changed so that client players won't have to suffer from combat latency ON TOP of the stun from the weapon breaking.

 

But yeah, get a spear sooner, tool's as weapons are a waste and spears are super easy to make.

I like using a Luxury Axe as a weapon, it's slightly weaker than a spear but has 400 durability.

If by "slightly weaker" you mean a spear is 25% stronger than an axe, meaning you're a whole hit behind every 3 hits.

When I asked for a reason to use an axe instead of a weapon, I was looking for facts, not "I like being weak."

400 durability.

luxury axe: (27.33 dmg  * 400 uses = 10932 damage total)

spear:          (34.00 dmg  * 150 uses = 5100 damage total)

Let's stay on topic. okay?

 

A weapon breaks in combat and there's no animation stun, but when your axe breaks in combat you have to stand around and wait for the animation to finish.

I could understand the animation playing if you break it while cutting down a tree or something, but otherwise it doesn't make any sense.

Is the total damage supposed to be relevant in any way? Because while a hilarious concept, it isn't remotely relevant. The tool stun does nothing but hurt your combat effectiveness, which is irrelevant when your weapon is weaker than a real weapon by a significant margin, and has 400 uses.
