Sneezing Season

[Daazx]

Let me get started by saying that I LOVE the new Hamlet dlc so far I haven't been able to put it down since I first got it a couple days back but, I hate the sneezing mechanic. At first I was intrigued it was something completely different from any other season mechanic that came before it  however, it quickly got old as my character was constantly sneezing and I kept constantly having to stop and pick up all the stuff that I dropped not to mention that at times the yellow overlay over the screen can make it very difficult to see whats going on. I get that Klei wants to change things up but, I feel like the sneezing doesn't add much in terms of gameplay but instead takes away as it's so damn annoying.

I like the sneezing, Klei added a original mechanism, you are not used to that. 

Often the players are surprised or do not like the new mechanisms, because it is new and not used.

i really liked the fog when i saw it for the first time, and i still thinks its a good season/game mechanic, but i dont like hayfever. it just feels like insanity hat can be stopped by some foods.

J'ai vraiment aimé le brouillard quand je l'ai vu pour la première fois, et je pense toujours que c'est une bonne mécanique de saison / jeu, mais je n'aime pas le rhume des foins. on a l'impression que certains aliments peuvent arrêter la folie.

I understand

What is even the counterplay to the first hay-season? I was not able to get the gas mask because I found only one stupid bird and he killed himself in the jungle and my whole first island had only four nettle plants.

On the second island, all the nettle plants were not ready to be harvested.

So I guess I will have to sneeze for a season

Tea trees... there is an easy solution that'll get you past the first season until a neetle farm can be grown.

Chop as many of them as you can that are big enough to drop seed pods.. replant all of these near your base and they'll be ready to cut down again by the time sneezing season starts. The seed pods aren't a perfect cure, you need lots of them, but since you can use a TON of wood in the early game, I find it much easier than stressing finding neetles by the 1st sneezing season.

Oh, I had no idea. Have mostly been playing without looking up anything.

Nice, I will be able to survive of those and I already made the sprinkler and everything, so second hay-season should be easy!

the seed pods prevent hay fever for more time if you cook them before eating them

so, you are complaining that the game is difficult ?
wow.
you know how easy it is not to sneeze once during that season ?
3 Nettle and a twig in a crockpot stop sneezing for a day+
alternative methods that aren't as effective
eating raw/cooked seed pods from tea trees
or Gas mask ( which is by far the worst solution for hayfever 
you always can stock up on that mandrake and skip the whole season  

let me tell you this, if you are on a survival island and your eye gets injured and your vision becomes limited
are you gonna Quit ?
you never know what you are going to face, it doesn't have to be easy
you can just turn hay fever off from the world gen and by that you skipped a whole season

1- Nettle ( from other islands )
2- You don't have to kill the peagawk to get it's feather, they will extinct at some point if u do that. you can right click to pick one feather ( do it at night ) or you can corner it
3- cooked tea tree seed pods are also a great way but you have to stock up on them

I like Don't Starve for it's difficulty it's what drawn me to it in the first place but, Don't starve is a game and if there was a game that 100% replicated real life no one would play it because that would be one boring ass game my problem with this mechanic is that it didn't really add much in the way of difficulty or fun it was just plain annoying  but, that is just my opinion if you have a different one I respect that.

true, they should make it fatal.
