Few questions on game mechanics


Recommended Posts

Hey guys I have some questions that I couldn't get the answers to from the wiki:

1. Can you use a tent anytime in caves in DST or is it only when it's night outside the cave?

2. What is the respawn time for tumbleweeds? My friends and I camped out in the desert for a bit to collect gears and we noticed after a while there were no more tumbleweeds left, how long do they take to respawn?

3. Does the temperature in caves correspond to the seasons outside? 

 

Thanks ahead of time.

1. Yes you can since there isn't a clear morning in the caves .

2.I don't think it is related to be "respawn" since the tumbleweed actor is similar to butterflies they just keep coming in the desert even if u keep picking them up over and over however the butterflies they just keep spawning from a flower constantly .

3. They do correspond however they are slightly warmer in the winter and cozier in the summer but you will still have cold / heat issues but not as extreme and fast as outside .

1. Only when it is night outside of the caves.

2. I don't think there's a set respawn time for that, pretty sure it's random. I'm not sure, though...

3. A bit, but not much. That's usually why people like to camp in them during Winter and Summer.

You actually can sleep anytime I survived in a cave more than 90 days many times :p

Really? I didn't play much on DST caves, but at least that's how it worked on DS.

I thought it worked the same on DST since the chars still had the "no sleep at night" cave quotes :p

Yeah no worries it happens to the best of us just like how ppl thought they can build the eye tower ( Houndius Shootius ) in DST with deerclops eye which you can't "build it" but you can use console to make it happen , it could be complicated to players abit .

This is from DS ... in DST there is no overheating in summer - only when you stand too close and too long by normal fire

There are lot of little changes in DST soo lot of DS mechanics are not in DST and YES you can sleep in tent all the time

What are you talking about? You can build Houndius like you can in DS ... nothing changed

It doesn't exist in DST the last time I checked as something you can "build" , however you can spawn it in a console .

And did you went to ruins and checked the Ancient station tab? Because it is there and the recipe is the same: eye + horn + some thulecite

I didn't see any ruins in DST with many many cave gameplay also the thulecite didn't see it at all not sure if it is implemented yet.

Dude you spent 90 days in caves and didn't find ruins? O.o

It is there for like 9-12 months ... caves are together with ruins in one "world" so go out there and enjoooooy all the thelucite awesomeness :p

EDIT: FYI brown turf with lot of bulbs is already ruins area .)

If you want to find more tumbleweeds, try walking around. I'm at least 70% sure that their spawning behaviour depends on player movement; you won't see many if you stay in the same spot.

In caves, you can freeze during winter, but you will not overheat in summer (unless you stand near a campfire maybe)

ruins are definitely fully implemented, just explore the caves and you will find them eventually, including the crafting station and the ancient guardian. If you see the brown turf with 100's of lightbulbs, you are going the right way.
