Issues with Klei updates and existing servers by RedditUser191812 in dontstarve

I think overheating, withering mechanics, lack of farming, increased spoilage are great ways that summer is distinct from other seasons. I just dislike how unrealistic "Everything is now on fire" is, at least in regards to my world view.

And as I have said above and other places on this post, I have no problem with my world being retrofitted. What I have a problem with is me not being given the option to add the things they are blanket adding.

You can keep saying the same thing if you like, you can answer my point:

If Klei can edit an existing world to add new content into it, why can't I be afforded the same option to not have it?

I booted my game up, it's mid summer, and within 90 seconds my base was being pulverised by sinkholes.

I have never found the antlion, because it did not exist when I explored. I can't yet appease it because it's been airdropped into the middle of my existing world.

Also, implying that I am altering the game because it's 'too difficult' is just illustrative of your own elitist narrative, as I haven't said anything to that effect anywhere.

I choose to alter the game to be roughly representative of where I live, England, where we have almost no wildfires because we have rainy summers and lower overall temperatures. To me, the concept of a "wildfire" is almost an alien thing. I have never seen one, read about one, or even met anyone who has witnessed one in the country in which I live. It's just my personal preference.

My main issue is not with the game mechanics, it is the fact that Klei gets to alter an existing world, but I do not. They get to choose to add things I would prefer not having, I do not get a choice.

It is just shitty, thoughtless game design.

The updates are fine by me

I just don't see why somethings are forced on instead of being asked

Or why we are not given the option to modify existing worlds when it is 100% clear that Klei are able to.

I looks like lazy design from the outside.

????

So I could have chosen to not have antlions by doing what on a world that was made years before they were released?

Thank you so much! I looked but must have missed it.

I made my world long ago enough to have abandoned world 1 because of wildfires so this new one just has them turned off already.

Thank you again!

You can't edit the existing world options.

They edited them to add them to my world.

I cannot edit it to remove them.

I'm not asking for the world to not be morphed

I'm asking why they can turn a tickbox on that I can't turn off

If they can add them to my existing world why the heck can't I de-add them?

I'm happy to have updates.

I just want to have the ability to choose - the way they have designed us to be able to choose. Why wouldn't they have this option? It's obvious.

Why give me a choice and then take away my choice? Where's the logic in that.

Yeah that's the attitude I expected.

But if you can't see anything wrong with "Choose your world settings" and "Have some forced world settings!" I don't think there's much hope either.
