A couple newb questions about dem werepigs

[Doktor Kengineer]

Hello fellow GentlemenScientists/Arsonists/Apparitionsighters/Strongmen/Soulessandroids/OldLibarians/Recently introduced Mime people from the unexistant place known as "france"So being new to both don't starve and the forums i've been wondering about werepigs, i've never encountered any as i tend to work alone since all i need is my breezy vest and top hat to keep me sane in the membrane but i've not got much food left near my base and all i have is around 20 monster meat but i've got a couple pig houses scattered nearby.Now the question(s) which i'm asking is the following;1: Will krampus come decimate me/chests if i beat up the werepigs (they're still pigs inside, they just have anger issues, eating problems and horrible full moon mutations)Dos: Do they still drop normal meat or do they drop monster meat3: How many pigs will spawn from the pig houses so i know when its food use expires and i can break the houses for pig butts4: How much damage/health do they have (I haven't checked the wiki since as i said being new i want to explore the game without any information on it) Any help from you fellow Explorers of science is appreciated.

1. You receive no naughtiness from killing werepigs2. their drop rate is 100% pig skin3. They will spawn infinitely, once every 4 days I think4. They're not too tough, maybe 10 hits with a spear or so

1:He will not come if you beat up werepigs.He does not consider them to be friendly deux:They drop normal meat x2,and 1 pigskin3:The pig spawn is infinite,and one house spawns a new one every 3 days,also a pig pops out of the house when you destroy it4:5ish spear stabs should do the trick(when not playing as Wes,he hits lower damage..I think about 8-10ish for Wes)Hope this helps :)Oh Sliver you ninja!

1. I dont think Werepigs effect Krampus, but not 100% on that one.2. Werepigs always drop 2 meat and 1 pigskin, making them more efficient to farm then normal pigs.3. Pigs infinitely respawn in pig houses, just takes a few days to make new piggies.4. i believe a werepig takes 3-4 hits with a spear, again not 100% on the exact amount.Double ninja'd!!

Alright thanks everyone for the information.

1. No krampus will not get mad at you for fighting werepigs non-werepigs are 3 naughty points per kill though2.werepigs and pigs drop meat and pigskin the chance for skin is higher with werepigs though3. as far as I know they dont wear out (at least for now) and they only spawn 1 pig at a time per house and respawn is 3 days4 werepigs have 250 hp and normal pigs 150 both hit for 33 damage

If you really want to explore and learn the game without aid, then why have you asked for advice? The information gained from here will be the same as whats found on the wiki pages...

The wiki contains information about any sanity monsters, crockpot recipes and various other information i assume most players wouldn't know unless they played far into the game or heard it from elsewere and being the book worm i am i'd spend probably hours reading through it learning everything, ruining half the fun of survival games. The information i'm requesting here is to get some basic knowlage on them so i know the enemy not having expose myself to any spoilers for my insane save, but getting enough information on my actual adventure save to be able know if its worth risking since i hit that point where i start playing it safe so i don't end up getting destroyed, If i didn't lose my amulet-thing and meat effigy to a jumping spider, it's seven buddies and queen i doubt this thread would of existed.
