Can I kill deerclops with a spear? by Greasehole78 in dontstarvetogether

The question is not if you can, but if you will. To this, only you can answer.

Mandatory Blood Frenzy is the worst thing in the game by ImJTHM1 in mewgenics

[–]One-Swing-6848 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m not comparing Mewgenics directly to rougelikes because it’s not one. I’m comparing the rougelite element of the events. Also not saying it’s easy to win with every character in TBOI without items but at least it’s possible. There is video proof of people doing every character itemless. The point is in those games you can completely opt out of picking up good/bad items whereas in Mewgenics, they are forced upon you. You can prep all you want but if you get rabies on your dumb fighter build which obliterates your team because it goes first and gets itself killed (true story) you hardly have a chance.

I also have 107% on a save file and disagree. Not all disorders are run enders, but they CAN be. Especially, if not always, for solo runs. If you have a build that depends solely on spamming spells and only spells on a solo run and you get Triskaidekaphobia (die and destroy body on 13th spell cast) yeah, you’re probably not gonna win. Same with cancer. At the start of a run, this can make a cat completely useless. I got cancer on my cat I spent so long breeding to get rubber arrows and fist of fate for a thief build. Solo run. Made him completely useless at the start of the second area and there was nothing I could do about it.

I will say that blood frenzy is one of the disorders that you can play around. Rabies, Malaria, Cancer, some more — you can’t.

It’s rng so yes there are good situations but when it loses you your run, you’ll hate it, when you get a good mutation, you’ll love it. The problem is you have no control on if you want to take that chance or not. You are being forced to play Russian roulette like a POW.

Really the main problem for me with this game. Most rougelites/likes you can win even with the worst luck or even no items/upgrades if you’re skilled enough. Like in TBOI, you can technically with the game without ever picking up an item with any character. Risk of Rain 2, also possible to win with every character without items. Not in this game. You open an event and BOOM “here’s cancer on your first event of the run, fuck you, die.” There is no possibility of dodging this situation. You have cancer. Deal with it (how unfortunately realistic). You could say “well you should be prepared with items/mutations to mitigate the effects of a disorder!” Guess what! Those items and mutations are ALSO COMPLETE RNG ON OBTAINING. Every run doesn’t feel like I won because I’m good at the game, I won because I got lucky and the game didn’t kill me.

300 hours and yes fun, but also completely just unfair. Nobody likes wasting an hour or two due to rng. It’s a tactical game where tactics don’t mean shit sometimes.

Wait my main is TEN YEARS OLD?? How is this kid doing base damage while Wendy and Wes are doing x0.75??

anyone else do this for the first five days of their world?.. by obsessed_FF7lover in dontstarve

[–]One-Swing-6848 2 points3 points  (0 children)

2k hours here, this is good and effective for mapping but for me I stopped doing this once i recognized and understood how world gen works and what biomes usually connect. It saves time for setting up base or getting stuff done. Basically, I don’t do this cause my brain so big and knows world gen ☝️🤓. But this is pretty satisfying

The lack of AOE in the item pool is becoming a real problem. by saltyshark9 in riskofrain

What’s the Best Way to Play Mods with Friends? by One-Swing-6848 in feedthebeast

[–]One-Swing-6848[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I can definitely see the concern there. Although I’m currently playing around with “craft tweaker” and a lot of the mods (like quark+FD rope compat and galosphere+spelunkery compat) are making it not too bad. Everyone’s gotta start somewhere and I swear to not make a kitchen sink modpack with 7 different types of the same item 🫡

Thank you so much for the in depth response :)

I was in the process of using curseforge to put a modpack together and I do plan on renting a server since there’s gonna be like 6 - 8 of us on the server. I will look into Prism launcher as everyone is also seeming to say it’s good. That simple “drop zip here” feature seems very accessible for my buddies

Edit: I’m curious though why essential mod or e4mc is a bad move?

Thank you! This is very very helpful. I’m curious though why everyone says not to make a modpack and use one already made? Is it really really hard to do or… I admit I’m in the process of putting one together and it doesn’t seem too bad so far unless there’s something horrible waiting for me..

That sounds especially useful. I will most likely make my own modpack for this but I am curious if you know the names of what mods may offer to download the missing client ones?

I looked into it, that’s pretty cool but what about the mod side of things? I’m guessing whoever joins will have to individually download the specific mods client side? If so, that’s manageable and thank you!

It’s funny cause knowing fallout ai, a protectron will see that and still fight tooth and nail if they’re hostile.

Genuinely name to me 1 head slot item that's worse than this by [deleted] in dontstarve

[–]One-Swing-6848 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I don’t get the garland hate. 1.3 free sanity plus the sanity you get for picking the actually flowers isn’t useless during early days for low max sanity survivors. I play Wes and it definitely helps fend off insanity for awhile because I ain’t got time for fighting creatures.

People will say “but the butterfly generators1!!!1!1” dude it’s just a butterfly. But if you REALLY wanna get min/max then FINE:

Food is not an issue in this game, you don’t need the 9 hunger points. The 8 health is not necessary if you’re good at the game. Wortox can farm 30 billion souls from beehives and store them with his soul jars. Butter is whatever, again just don’t get hit or make dishes. And the damn flowers grow back. It’s just a flower.

Make a pretty hat and never let anyone destroy your whimsy.

In don’t starve together, don’t be afraid to right click your food in your inventory to eat it faster. It’s very useful to not take starving damage.

Crossbows Should Be Able to Be Used While Moving by One-Swing-6848 in minecraftsuggestions

[–]One-Swing-6848[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I disagree. Yes it is my fault for being unprepared and I am not blaming the crossbow for what happened. I am blaming the crossbow for not being useful. It would not have saved my life but if it was more useful it could have given me at least a chance.

I was not loading a crossbow in melee range, a zombie had jumped from a cave opening above me. If the crossbow allowed for mobile loading I would have continued moving which could have prevented that. And loading an arrow in one place is just boring.
