TheKingofSquirrels Posted December 7, 2016 Share Posted December 7, 2016 Yes, it's this argument again "Oh there shouldn't be freezing or overheating in caves blah blah". But on the last "Rhymes With Play" they mentioned that most players don't go into the caves, so it's worth bringing back up. The reason that I personally don't go into the caves, is because it's so annoying to handle the caves with season effects. If you really want to explore the caves and have fun, you can only do it by wasting the good season of Autumn to do so (and nobody wants to do that). It's really annoying. If you want to explore them in Winter and Summer, you'll end up having to fill your inventory up with gear to survive caves AND gear to survive the temperatures of the seasons. Having to deal with constant sanity drop and lack of light, plus season effects is annoying. It's not challenging, it's just annoying. There's this argument that players will just hide out in the caves through the entirety of the difficult season. First off, I don't think that's true. If a player has a base and decent gear, they will stay in the surface because sanity is a lot easier to handle. Second, I don't really see the big problem with players hiding in caves during the seasons anyway. Isn't that natural? Humans taking shelter from weather. Plus, I hate summer, I hate it because it's sooo boring. There's nothing to do and it's not really enjoyable to explore because a) random fires. b) constant overheating. I'd love it if you could go into the caves and just forget about all that. Plus, I think its a great a solution for the problem of players joining a server in a middle of a season and not having any kit to survive. They can jump in the caves and done, problem solved. That's much preferable than having someone running around with a torch in Winter, burning everything in sight for warmth. And it will certainly get people going into the caves. It just seems like such an obvious solution to me.

Wexton Posted December 7, 2016 Share Posted December 7, 2016 The only reason one would make a base on caves would be for being close to light bulbs,ruins,slurpers,The infinite source of minerals that the earthquakes are,etc.but most importantly...summer. Not only you don't overheat like its been sayd already but also nothing will start smouldering,and plant don't wither unless they have been planted away from light. This stuff made me do a base on the caves and make it my day 1000 world's main base,but not everything is perfect. Not only the visibility which is only fixed by using moogles,but also the rain on the caves is horrible because you need to chose between your miner hat + cane or your eyebrella + lantern,and thats a tough choice Also the depth worms,but with bunnymen they are glow berries at home.

I never fear joining a server in the summer as long as there are caves. Quote Not only the visibility which is only fixed by using moogles,but also the rain on the caves is horrible because you need to chose between your miner hat + cane or your eyebrella + lantern,and thats a tough choice Did you mean miner's hat and umbrella? There is actually another choice once you visit the ruins. You can keep a walking cane / eyebrella / magiluminescence.

Ressayez Posted December 7, 2016 Share Posted December 7, 2016 I suppose it depends on your gear, which is not so much as gear, but experience with knowing how to cope with the different weather effects. Character choice also makes a big difference in the department of sanity management. Not really an issue with all the green caps down in the caves, and things to kill as Wigfrid. I find all seasons with the exception of autumn (I use this season for overworld tasks) to be a wonderful time to get some exploring done. I say bring both a lantern and a miner's hat in all cases and switch between them as you need. For spring, a miner's hat gives you slight resistance to wetness, along with an umbrella, wetness shouldn't be an issue. I like to keep both endothermic and normal campfires prototyped for emergency use at all times, and caves provide you in abundance with all the grass, logs and nitre you could need... A thermal might be all you need for winter and summer, and perhaps a lower tier clothing item for each corresponding season, and use melonsicles and spicy chilli to your advantage in a pinch! Remember, in ANR, there is packages now. Hope this helped!

To be honest, I've had to many times now people saying you don't overheat in the caves and than I go down there and I overheat. But maybe they've changed it, which I appreciate a lot. I would prefer if they got rid of freezing in caves, but that's just my personal opinion. Rain is ok, it's necessary for mushrooms to grow back, so I get it.

Rellimarual Posted December 8, 2016 Share Posted December 8, 2016 If you can practice inventory control -- that is, manage without a backpack-- then the best solution for rain in the caves is a raincoat. It's a sadly under appreciated item, but once you get the hang of using it, you will treasure it, since you can then use the cane and the miners hat and it gives you 100% wetness protection. I spend the whole summer in the caves to avoid overheating and smoldering and the only times I ever overheat is when I'm wearing a tam and standing right next to/on top of a fire. If that's been a problem for you, perhaps you overfeed your fires? DST differs from single player DS in that your proximity to a fire and the fire's size seem to have a much more pronounced effect on your character's body temperature. You can definitely overheat just walking around in the caves during summer in single player, which means that I usually wear a floral shirt when doing so. It has the added benefit of a sanity boost, and if you lose track of the days, it can also give you a sense of how much time has passed via its spoiling. It's very easy to manage sanity in the caves by wearing one and only occasionally using your tam, but again, you can't use a backpack at the same time. In winter, the hibearnation vest is the same, keeping you warm and sane and even reducing your hunger drain. Not all the challenges in this game involve fighting bosses. Thinking and planning in advance for what you will and won't need, learning when to stay focused and when to improvise if an unexpected opportunity arises: those are the challenges that make the game the most interesting to me, not agility in smacking and dodging. Inventory discipline is a big part of that. I've never had a Krampus sack and never especially wanted one because unless you're moving a lot of stuff from one base to another, it's just not necessary if you know what you're doing. The one exception to this is public servers, where you can't store anything in a chest without worrying someone will take it.

Aquaterion Posted December 8, 2016 Share Posted December 8, 2016 1 thing I think there should be is more areas with grass and twigs. Usually I start dying once I run out of grass to make some sort of fire to heat me up. I also feel that depths worm deal too much damage for the amount of health they have, or at least a different version of them should spawn when the event like hound attacking happens but with worms.. Multiple worms at the same time can be hard to deal with. So far in servers, everytime I do cave exploring, I die pretty much every time I am stumbling on ruins.

Rellimarual Posted December 8, 2016 Share Posted December 8, 2016 Depth worms, unlike hounds, will not follow you indefinitely. If you run far enough from them, they'll go to sleep in their glowberry plant form. You can re-trigger them just by walking past, but if you're careful you can wake up one at a time and pick them off one by one. When in the ruins, I highly recommend kiting the depth worms into areas where you want to clear out some of the mobs, like monkeys in particular, but also clockworks. Depth of worms are your best friends when you want to kill a lot of monkeys. They are easily distracted from chasing you, and can clear out a huge amount of monkeys at a go. Then, if you wish, you can hammer down the monkey huts without being attacked by their residents. The worms will also be easier to kill once the monkeys have softened them up a bit.

I can't really agree. There's much to do in the caves, so the more experienced, challenge-seeking players go there. Having a base in the caves secures a steady surplus of minerals (so magical gear is plentiful), rockies AKA the best bodyguards (as long as they don't sleep, but hey, anyone is useless when asleep!), if you go to the ruins and make night lights as Willow, basically free sanity (you gain more than you lose), snazzy thulecite stuff... mostly to show off, but still a good reason , NO PENGULLS! This only reason is rather misleading, especially since you correctly listed some of the MANY reasons to go there. One cannot underestimate the challenge. When you nuke the surface bosses, it gets somewhat too easy. Without adding challenge-providing mods, you have to use the caves. Or roll a new map to start anew.

CaptainChaotica Posted December 9, 2016 Share Posted December 9, 2016 Thanks, guys! I wish I could be the mysterious underground dweller like you, hkhm, but to me the caves are a place you venture into to get something and then leave once you have it, or have partly cleared the way to it, whatever. Man, I've never gotten any farther than a firepit, alchemy engine, crockpot..._maybe_ some dug up and replanted saplings or something, in my vague attempts at a cave base. Certainly never anywhere near bee boxes or birdcages, and in fact, I would've assumed the flowers would die. Also I always base in the spot of sunlight directly under an entrance, 'cos, free light (sometimes). And I do see the advantages of being there in the summer. Believe me. There's my own tale of the Summer Joiner, who made it to our very makeshift, emergency cave-base before dying only because the entrance was quite close to the portal..then almost insta-died when we realised we needed food really badly and needed to go back to the surface to pick the berry field. I had summer supplies; he didn't, being new--but volunteered to help out anyway, and after only a short time out of the cave's protective shade--BAM! Also, I'm wondering...how frequent are the cave-ins _supposed_ to be? I ask because I've turned mine down to "less" and it's still like EVERY FREAKING MINUTE if that! Geez, how do you cave-basers _stand_ it? It's not just me, too--other players were going "AGAIN?!" before I even had a chance to type anything. I know the cave-ins are useful for replenishing minerals but _good god_! Do I have a glitch or are you actually _supposed_ to run around like a ninny and interrupt whatever you were doing that frequently? See, this is why I live on the surface. It's still really dangerous--of course, because Don't Starve--but you do get SOME moments of respite. There are times when you _know_ the hounds aren't coming and meteors aren't about to bonk you on the head--and during most of the day, light enough to see by is free. Mind you, this peace comes with the price of bad weather and giants, but... Yeah, I dunno...I still see the caves as a place to get in, get your stuff, and get out, rather than live in. Shameful secret: I've never been to the Ruins. Not once. Never ever. Not in normal DS, and not in Together. I FOUND the ruins entrance _once_ in regular Don't Starve, but it was in the middle of a Gauntlet O' Death that ended my run. And it had been a good run, too. I do very much appreciate the offer of help, AnonymousKoala. A lot of this I do think would be easier if I had some backup/advice. I would like to see and partake of all this cool stuff, I would...! There's still a good chunk of the game's content I've never seen. (I mean, for myself. Screenshots yes.) And the REALLY ironic thing? In real life I'm a total night-owl and stay indoors/in the shade as much as possible! (I don't tan. I burn.) If I _was_ a Don't Starve character, I would live in the caves instantly 'cos it's the only thing resembling _shelter_ in the game. ...'course, my house's ceiling doesn't drop rocks on my head and the floor doesn't explode into giant worms. ...well, not yet anyway. ...Notorious Link to comment https://forums.kleientertainment.com/forums/topic/72336-if-you-want-players-to-go-in-caves-do-this/#findComment-846385 Share on other sites More sharing options...
