1v0 Posted January 31, 2018 Share Posted January 31, 2018 Hey today I checked DST steamDB (I do it everyday because I really want some new content for the game) and saw that 2 more DLCs have been listed to DST . A quick note : 1 was added some time ago and ... well nothing happened , it was just added . So don't take it as a 100 % proof of an upcoming dlc until they announce it . But I think (and hope) we will see some kind of a DLC for DST . Wich in my opinion is something the game really needs . At this point I'm just waiting for new content so I can start playing DST again . If it is a DLC I hope for some late game content and new features ... I want more challenge to the survival part of the game , and maybe some long term goal . It might even be SW or hamlet port to DST thou ... I don't think that's the case . Anyway tell me what is your opinion about all this ?! Here a screenshot of SteamDB : Spoiler I'm not sure if I should post stuff like this in the official forum or on reddit .

Developer ImDaMisterL Posted January 31, 2018 Developer Share Posted January 31, 2018 I dunno, Klei said a lot of times they don't want a DLC wall separating their playerbase, so if anything it'd just be a free content update, but I thought they were going to focus on Events for a while now... Well, I'm all up for new content, so let's hope that's coming soon!

Dreamscape18459 Posted January 31, 2018 Share Posted January 31, 2018 Here is a link for Don't Starve Together's DLC in Steamdb. https://steamdb.info/app/322330/dlc/ It could potentially be a Don't Starve Together soundtrack DLC. I don't think DST's OST is in the singleplayer soundtrack DLC. Did the game ever get a DLC section for ANR? I don't see one for ANR, only for ROG which looks like it was added in 2015. Anyway thanks for sharing this. It looks interesting and I honestly have no idea what it means. It could just be for the developers to test upcoming content but is quite interesting. Edit: It looks like unknown app 647800 was originally uploaded 5 months ago so it could have been for the developers to test Forge content before official release. It was last updated 2 months ago (December 5, 2017, one day after the Forge ended) so the new appid's are likely for testing the upcoming event.

After examining the Steamdb I could not find anything that looks like it would be for prior events. (Winters Feast/Hallowed nights 2016, Year of the Gobbler 2017, and Winters Feast/Hallowed nights 2018.) I only found app 647800 (Originally uploaded in September 2017 and last updated December 5 2017. These are the months Forge was announced and ended.) The only other DLC seems to be ROG (I could not find one for ANR which uses Klei's new philosophy of not splitting the playerbase through a DLC paywall. Doesn't look like Klei had this philosophy when they first started thinking about ROG as it is actually a seperate DLC/app whereas ANR is not.) Secondly Forge took 5 months from announcement to ending. (Coinciding with app 647800's update history) 5 months from now is June/July which are summer months (For the USA at least.) It makes a lot more sense to have events when players can dedicate more time to play (summer months means no school for USA players, don't know about the rest of the world) and when players are most likely to spend money. (Forge beta coincided with Steam's Halloween sale and the Forge also coincided with the Autumn sale.) Having the next event in June/July would line up nicely with Steam's summer sale. (Which is around 5 months from now.) Thirdly I don't think Klei would have an app id dedicated to seasonal events. I don't think they would require extensive play testing as they don't change the game greatly. An event like the Forge would require far more playtesting before release so it makes sense to have an appid for official (non seasonal) events. Also to add a bit more content to this theory and the thread it looks like Klei's dev build (Build id 2484864) was last updated 9 hours ago. (around 10-11 hours after unknown app 798740 and 798750 were added) so it looks like it is definitely for testing new content (I personally think this is the next Forge like event but nobody knows outside of Klei.) Given that a seasonal event is confirmed for February I think Klei is nearly ready to launch the seasonal event and is now comfortable preparing for the next Forge like event. Obviously this is just speculation but it is interesting seeing things happen behind the scenes. Edit: It looks like staging (build id 2262581) may have been used to test the Forge beta as it was last updated around 3 months ago.

1v0 Posted January 31, 2018 Author Share Posted January 31, 2018 From what I have seen Dev is basicly them updating (they do it almost everyday) the game and testing , staging is for pre-patch test . So everytime there is staging , there will be a patch sooner or later (from a few minutes to 1-2 days) . There is even a description about every branch = Spoiler https://steamdb.info/app/322330/depots/ But this is for the general game (wich includes dlcs , updates , fixes and more or less everything) . As for the listed dlcs to tell the truth I have not followed them or inspected them that closely . I just saved the general page (on history) and check it once a day . EDIT : I have to say I feel a bit down about all this digging around , begin an old gamer , I remeber times when there was not steamDB or DLCs , only expansions . And that is the reason I have kept it to myself . It kinda ruins the surprise of new content , but at the same time is a proof that the game is not dead and there is something to expect .

I think DST makes Klei so much money they can't afford to leave it alone. (Top 100 most profitable games in 2016 and 2017. Steamspy says DST is currently no.44 by top playtime and no.36 by active players having 428,222 active accounts. Of course this is not official Valve stats but community gathered so it is not completely accurate.) Its really your choice if you keep this content to yourself or share it.

1v0 Posted January 31, 2018 Author Share Posted January 31, 2018 I agree , DS/DST is the franchise that made klei famous and one of my favorite Devs . I don't think that they will ever leave it aside . It quickly became one of my favorite games . I reallly love the creepy art style , the black humor , the smart and mysterious lore and the survival aspect of it . Thou I have to say lately (especially DST) has been lacking on the creepy and survival side . But that is to be expected after all the game is really famous now . It's no longer a small game that only survival fans used to play (I started DS when ROG was in beta , and made acc in the forum specially for DST) . Many of my friends that normally don't play survival games , really liked it and are still playing with me when there is new content . I even think that if PVP and survival is extened it could be a great game for E-sports , just imaginate in few years a clan vs clan war in a survival world . But it will be better to stop dreaming and try not to wonder off topic too much .

I play with them all enabled at once, among other things that make for a more unforgiving experience as well but the other stuff is pvp focused and I find mileage varies there. P.S. My mod partner from Thirst has a mod he worked on with others covering injuries and combat which makes stuff even worse, but I haven't tried that mod so I cant comment on it really. However as a shout out to him there is: Health Extended P.P.S We finally got around to adding snakes to Thirst mod, sorry it took so long. "Safe" water sources just got a little harder to find.

I haven't had the time to try them out yet. My initial reaction is while it does make the game more difficult, especially in the earlier stages, I find that bleeding or kindling fire becomes a chore to me. Sure it makes the game more difficult, but not in the way I want it to be. I guess I'm hoping for something similar to Adventure Mode in DS Singleplayer to spice things up. However I am interested in the thirst mod – I like that there's so many new items to use. Plus, the fountain would look sick in my base. Next time when I start a new world with my friends we will try all of those mods at once just to see how much it can change the game, but for now I'm just gonna try out Thirst (: Link to comment https://forums.kleientertainment.com/forums/topic/86948-i-think-something-is-coming-for-dst/#findComment-999743 Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaptainChaotica Posted February 5, 2018 Share Posted February 5, 2018 I've been trying the Thirst mod lately, as you can see from the new icon in the upper-right corner here: (and the triangle thing over to the right is a simple water-condenser) and it's interesting so far...but I can't really vouch for the FULL extent of the mod yet 'cos at the moment I'm doing a "be a hunter-gatherer for a year" challenge, so most of the more advanced water-related structures I can't (am not allowed to) make yet. I can make a condenser out of sticks and grass and a splintery wooden bucket (or..."bottle"?) and that's it. Also watch out for snakes. : P That bark. They're snakes who identify as dogs, duh. Don't shatter their dreams. The Actual Season Randomiser is exactly my style, since I like randomising my seasons but was annoyed that they weren't random ENOUGH--i.e., whatever new configuration you get the first year will be exactly the same _every_ year.

Bunions Posted February 5, 2018 Share Posted February 5, 2018 Regarding difficulty, DST is one of those games that is already on a reverse difficulty scale imo. Its hard to reverse that. The more established one is the easier it becomes. I didn't know about the barking (As I said my time is limited these days) I'll mention it to Desblat, but LOL! The blue on the kidney meter was quite controversial, I wanted an aqua but was voted down. Remember also that there is a deep blue wetness meter already so I wanted to avoid that redundancy. Speaking of wetness and craziness, drinking from ponds both wets you and reduces sanity a bit so watch out for that besides the occasional snake. The prefab for the fountain if needed is des_charlie_fountian Here is the actual setpeice it comes with when generated normally as part of the map: Sometimes it wont spawn if the game calculates there isn't "room" for the setpeice but we have done as much as possible to ensure it generates nearly every game.

It seems pretty striking, at least in this screenshot. Awww, no one has ever told me "mad respect" with regards to this game before! Thanks! And yeah, I don't use any season-telling mod...I just look at what the birch trees are doing and watch my characters' reactions to figure out what's coming up next. It just..._feels_ more right to figure it out by looking at the environment rather than having outside-the-game meta knowledge that your character couldn't possibly have. (Although bear in mind that the trees are (technically) the same colour in spring AND summer, so if you start seeing them turn green at the end of winter while using randomised seasons...have an endo fire prototyped just in case. Heh.) At the moment the hunter-gatherer server is being played alone, yes...but the idea is that this is only the first part of what will become a much more complicated set-up, and after the first year I will be opening it up to other people (if they want). You can read what I've done so far in the Tales of Life and Death forum (SHAMELESS PLUG) if you're curious...and it's just as WELL that I'm playing alone right now, considering that there's a meteor area _right_ smack over the entrance. But I think it's moving southwestish? so by the end of the year it should be safer for others to join. As for my random seasons in general...I ALWAYS warn people about that in the description, and if they maybe didn't read it I tell them myself once they show up. So you can't say you weren't warned, when you suddenly find yourself overheating next to a full-sized iceberg. : P (Last but not least, I may have tweaked the contrast/gamma a tad on that screenshot 'cos, being at night, I figured it could use a bit of extra oomph to be easily seeable--not sure about that exact picture, but it's possible. So the thirst meter might not look as bright on your own screen.) ...Notorious Link to comment https://forums.kleientertainment.com/forums/topic/86948-i-think-something-is-coming-for-dst/#findComment-999795 Share on other sites More sharing options...
