Is there any chance of the shipwrecked dlc coming to dont starve together on pc and ps4? I believe it would definitely need some tweeking but I think it could be designed in a way to be extremely fun for everyone!

Yeah it'll come when all the new characters aren't just very stylish Wes counterparts, when they add more things to make it not boring and also make it so it's not tedious to make a base when you're better off just nomading, and fix all the bugs.

the only wes counterpart I see is wilbur, maybe woodlegs cause what wes does to hunger woodlegs does to sanity is that what your referring to. Also I like the eruptions though they do have those screw you moments which just make you die in the long run RIP boat

isn't walani just wilson with the beard replaced with a surf board

I don't get how that ^ works, the beard produces beard hair and keeps you warm, Walani's perks are having a surfboard that helps in the early game like 5 or 9 days? Until you get a better boat then it's useless, and she dries off faster but it's not really great early/mid/late game, and the only real upside she has is a bigger stomach, and lesser hp and more hunger gain isn't that bad of a downside but it'd be nice if she had more upsides so she wasn't so bland.

and I know a lot of recipes

 Sure you could make a lot of recipes to negate some of the downsides of eating the the same food, but most people just live off meat stew and all you get from Warly is a 2 more spaces insulated pack that you'd totally trade out for a krampus sack and a portable crockpot.

Doesn't sound like a great trade off to me.

Point taken but they its not really about fairness just the experience of the don't starve  characters this is the last game I think that would learn the word fair 

Shipwrecked Together would be very difficult to implement - either a giant world with one (more?) mainland continent and a scattering of islands around it or yet more shards. If you want biomes and items, there are ports, for example @Joachim's Multi-Worlds DST can have beaches and jungles with a lot of flora and fauna, I can recommend Portable Cookpot as it doesn't bug, but the recipe requires tinkering around... There are also ports of characters, but I don't use them as, primo, they tend to bug, secundo, only Warly (to an extent Wilbur) can be decent on land (Woodlegs has his infamous sanity drain and Walani... Walani is the female Wilson, just without the beard, different stats, and a personality I find boring) and tertio, there are better bets (I prefer challenging mods).

Klei themselves said there are no plans to port Shipwrecked. Remember it was made as a collaboration with Capy Games. I imagine it would pretty much require remaking from scratch rather than simply porting. At any rate, if anything changes, I bet they will let us know. Right, Sir @nome :rolleyes:?

How it would likely go down is:

1) We carefully investigate whether something is possible

2) Once we're 99% sure, we announce to you that either

 

3a) It's not possible, it would never be fun

4a) Then someone at Klei says "buuuuuut"

5a) (Don't Starve will never be multiplayer becomes Don't Starve Together)

 

3b) Yup, we can definitely do this, it won't possibly take more than six months

4b) Huh, man, this is taking way longer than expected, and it's not very fun

5b) People work themselves to death giving you something even better instead (Through the Ages becomes A New Reign)

 

So the moral of the story is to never trust anything we say, we're inveterate liars but our hearts are in the right place (a status icon in the top right of the screen.) Hopefully this does absolutely nothing to answer your question! :)

It actually answers me completely and the TL;DR is in bold now :).
