CaptainChaotica Posted January 18, 2017 Share Posted January 18, 2017 Oh, I'm sure he's not shocked. EVERY weird pairing in anything that can or can't possibly be has been done at some point, and this isn't even one of the weirdest ones. Heh. Actual like, gameplay bad ideas for Don't Starve...do you mean, like, actually thinking and trying to do well and it turned out to be a bad idea because of lack of knowledge about some esoteric part of the game...or just the basic "Hey, what's this shiny thing over here? I'm'a hit it even though it's Day 1 and I have absolutely no weapons or armour! DO DEE DO!" 'Cos I've seen a lot of the latter...even among experienced Let's Players (in general) who really should know better. : P ...Notorious Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mochilo Posted January 18, 2017 Share Posted January 18, 2017 Crappy idea: For the first time I've been making a lot of dragon pie farms. Passed some time I realized some of them stopped working, so I thought it would be some kind of glitch because they were too close to each other or whatever. I decided to destroy these farms (improved farms) with a hammer and craft a new one every time. By now I destroyed like ten of them, and I just checked for info about this thing. Comes up I only needed to fertilize the farm instead. Derp derp. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Starlogy Posted January 19, 2017 Share Posted January 19, 2017 mfw i though fish would be the best food source before i figured out the crock pot existed Seriously, the Crock Pot itself just makes hunger so easy to manage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also unless I was planning on staying long, I would be Wigfrid, who can't even eat mandrakes. So there's double insurance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

applebottom Posted January 20, 2017 Share Posted January 20, 2017 Hmm seems like there aren't a lot of crappy ideas on this thread? - Pick Webber, setup camp in Pig Village - Build a base near meteors - Open the sinkholes near base (can be a good or bad idea, depending on your tolerance for spawn-deaths) - Attack fire hounds near your grass/twig farms - Teamwork: leave Wigfrid in base to manage the farms and ask Wickerbottom to hunt for meat Crappy Features Suggestion: - Allow server rollback all the way back to Day 1 - Add server rollback to 15 secs ago but keep the voting timer longer than that - Make icebox carry charges when struck with lightning and deal damage every time you open a charged fridge - Add Global Warming mechanic where very old servers get unpredictable seasons (alternating scorching and freezing during "Winter", Spring being too hot, Autumn too rainy, etc) - Add a new winter mob: Count Olaf, snowman spawns wearing a random mix of skins and murders any mobs allied to you (pigs, Chester, Glommer). You can only beat him if you wear the same set of skins. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CaptainChaotica Posted January 21, 2017 Share Posted January 21, 2017 Oh, I don't hate him. He's not my fave, but, eh. The Don't Starve session was from years ago, too...I can't remember now how I found it, but it was like an old livestream recording or something, and sanity had just BARELY been added to the game--so it was from around then. He honestly didn't even _know_ that sanity was a thing or that shadow creatures could happen, so...he thought he'd died from NOTHING! It took the audience in the chat to tell him what the hell happened. But I get the feeling that, a lot of the time, some of these people...aren't actually normally THAT dumb, but they're doing whatever the flashiest, silliest thing is that would get the most attention from viewers. In other words, with an audience they're playing For the Lulz, and without one, they'd be more serious and like, actually try to live, 'n' stuff. Some maybe are that naive, but when it comes down to, like, Sips's partner who died FOUR TIMES IN ONE DAY, ya gotta wonder... (Sometimes to the point of extreme aggravation--there was this one playthrough with these two British guys, I can't remember their names, where one of them started being "dumb" to the point of OBVIOUS trolling, and giggling like a little brat schoolboy. The other player was an old friend and only finally started sounding irritated that they could never make _any progress at all_ by like, part THIRTEEN! Me...? I would've given that guy a keyboard sandwich or at least shut down the server YEARS ago. No. Just, no. I do not put up with bullcrap. The instant I find out you're doing it on purpose, you can STAY dead! I ain't ressin' your arse anymore. I don't CARE how much sanity I lose; I ain't rewarding that behaviour.) ANYway, all this is to say: Sometimes, when they're doing it for YouTube or a stream, people aren't THAT dumb. They're trying to be "funny". But sometimes it's hard to tell. : P I think most _first_ times somebody grabs a tallbird egg or messes with a clockwork, for example, they genuinely don't know... ...Notorious Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Donke60 Posted January 21, 2017 Share Posted January 21, 2017 I try not to take the game seriously as long as you do it to your self thats fine if I take the game to seriously I wouldn't have fun anymore or think of things to do. back to bad ideas let maxwell be the reviver of the group send Wes to clear out a royal spider set piece( I actually did this it was fun but the queen showed up and i called for help) Don't build flingo's in summer ( I play like a nomad sort of so Idc about flingo's most of the time eat meat raw Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SimonL Posted January 21, 2017 Share Posted January 21, 2017 Played with a webber. Now many of us know that webbers can instigate a "moshpit" of spiders by having them attack eachother for a tonne of meat and silk but this guy uses up all my reserve grass and twigs I saved to help us survive through winter to make like 20 traps. I spent 2 straight days reading applied horticulture and harvesting those supplies and then I had none. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
