Moleworm population


Recommended Posts

Holy burrowing rodent, Batman!  Put down a pile o' flint in the middle there and you've got yourself a party!  Especially if you're playing as Wigfrid and it's early days before you're able to make a crockpot (because no science machine, because no gold yet).  Seriously, when I was very first playing the character and had a spring start, I used to LUNGE at any moleworm I saw. 

But this...this isn't a snack.  This is a feast.  I've never seen so many of these little buggers together in one place!

If I were him, I'd take this chance to empty out my inv and hammer all these moleworms and take them to a cavern near my base so they'd respawn underground then move them above ground, so they respawn there too.

Also save one for a rain hat in spring.

...what, they're cute!  And useful.  I especially love wearing one with the yellow trenchcoat 'cos it looks like an outfit already meant to go together. 

...and also what Giddy said, putting them underground too.  But rain hats!

Just, wow, try not to die anywhere near there while carrying any minerals you don't wanna lose (on _you_, not in the backpack). Those little critters especially _love_ them some thermal stones.

While I agree they're cute, they aren't useful. They only give 70% wetness protection, so you'll have to use an umbrella with them for full wetness protection... But then you could just replace the rain hat with a football helmet and still be protected from rain but not have to worry about constant durability loss.

With the guaranteed day 30 Deerclops in DST you should have an eyebrella by spring anyways.

...unless you're by yourself and don't have anywhere near enough tooth traps/gunpowder/beefalo, spiders etc.nearby to help.  I'm not an MLG PRO GAMER.  For me, solo Deerclops kill is not a Day 30 thing, 'cos I'm nowhere near prepared by then!  It's an at least NEXT winter thing..

(And how long "next winter" takes to arrive depends on the lengths of the seasons--which I like to randomise sometimes.  On my latest world I ended up with only a five-day fall.  Yikes!)

But we can all agree that Abigail is great for mole infestations.

(and I still like my adorable yellow hat. : P)

You don't have to be an "MLG PRO GAMER", as you put it, and you don't really need much preparing.

All you need is a logsuit or two, a hambat, some cactus flesh, maybe some raw blue caps if you're not great at kiting, and rhythm.

Hit him 2-3 times, step back, hit him 2-3 times, step back, repeat. Eat cactus flesh when your sanity gets low. Easy enough.

Well, you mean one person should, it's not like there's more than one eye. I usually just let one of the newer players have it and use an umbrella.

Exactly!  I've started making extra umbrellas when the materials for it are available and just keeping them around, to give to new players when they join in spring or summer.  Not as good as the eyebrella, no, but way easier to make.  (Or the other day, I had somebody who was really new join when it was raining like crazy, and I had no pigskins yet...and they were playing as WX.  So I was like, "yelling" over the storm:  "PICK FLOWERS!  YOU CAN MAKE A PARASOL!"  "What, that's a thing?" (presumably checks crafting menu) "Cool!")

Anyway.  I know I technically _can_ kill Deerclops by myself on the first winter...I just..dun wanna.  I'd rather lead him to a large herd of beefalo or spider forest and then run off.  Sneakery and guile--the Don't Starve way!

(Well, ONE of the Don't Starve ways. Heh.)

_Now_ I have a massive pile o' tooth traps.  Ho.  Ho. Ho.
