Or you made the worst mistake of your life? Post some of the crappiest ideas you have on this thread! Also, it doesn't have to be just you or someone in-game being an idiot, it could also be terrible features to add to the game itself It probably wasn't the worst mistake I've made in DST but it was a pretty bad mistake nonetheless... so here's a little story of the mistake I've made. I joined a random server that had a good number of people who made a rather large base at spawn, I decided to wonder off on my own and make my one little base just in case if the large base falls apart by a greifer or something. Anyway, many ingame days later it was winter and I had everything needed to survive it including a ice box of my own, but I was worried that others might find my base and ending stealing all the food I had stored. I ended up walling off the ice box (in hopes to deter any thieves from stealing the food), but it left a small opening allowing me to barely squeeze through (seems like my character had a hard time walking through the small gap). I thought it wasn't a big deal since I can pass through the gap, but one time it was close to nighttime but I was hungry and got some food. After getting my hunger back up I tried to leave through the small gap like normal but this time I couldn't get out... I was stuck. Even worse, it turned nighttime and I started freezing.and I didn't have enough room to place down a camp fire and I knew I didn't have enough healing items to survive the long night.... so I panicked used up all of the spider glands and all of my healing items and eventually died from the cold... just because I ended up trapping myself at the worse time.... Also this was my little camp I made with the walled off ice box area that lead to my demise: Link to comment https://forums.kleientertainment.com/forums/topic/73341-crappy-dsdst-ideas-thread/page/2/#findComment-858909 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also keep in mind that I would never ever do this outside of if you pissed me off to the point that i don't care about your feelings (i may have been overreacting but i don't care) so like b4 winter and b4 i was gonna leave the server, i find out the host is gonna base underground and boy was i even more angry over my efforts being wasted. i remember being so angry that i probably stopped playing for the day i guess maybe this is payback for probably overreacting but i don't care still Link to comment https://forums.kleientertainment.com/forums/topic/73341-crappy-dsdst-ideas-thread/page/2/#findComment-859030 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yea, I guess I'm also a secretive weirdo as well since that's generally how I play at this point when I go onto random servers with folks I don't know. In pass experiences, I did try to work together with whatever large base they had (although I never really ask where their base is at, I just simply roam the map until I find it on my own or if they tell someone else where it's at on global chat), but usually it doesn't turn out to well in the end (usually when the first winter hits) since most of the time it's either: * The classic case of that one guy who burns/demo's the base after arriving to it. * The base food supply goes dry since not enough food for everyone, and only a few people goes out to get food. At this point, I mostly make my own little base either in caves or as far away from the spawn point as possible (but still being relatively close to key resources), but I still help out random folks who either stumble onto my mini base or help out the folks at the large base if I have some extra stuff to spare. 2 hours ago, mochilo said: You know you can destroy your wall by hitting it with anything?
