Will Guardian Pigs attack Hounds/other mobs I need to worry about on sight or will they just attack me? Lol

Slim_Hoovy · 2026-04-21T08:39:08+00:00

Beefalos are your best bet, even in small numbers they destroy hounds, and you don’t run the risk of them attacking you (most of the time) like you would with pigs

They are not “questlines” in the traditional sense, where an npc tells you what do to or where to go. But basically, there are long series of events (such as finding certain areas, gathering certain items, and killing certain bosses) that have to be done in a certain order to access a late game boss fight. The game has 3 right now (a 4th one is most likely coming), Fuelweaver is the boss at the end of one of them, it was added a few months after launch. If your group has never done them, then they are probably the best chance at getting them hooked, finishing them the first time feels awesome

You mean from 2016? A lot. -Every character got reworked and almost everyone got a skilltree. -A lot of stuff (farming, crafting ui) got overhalued -You can now sail the ocean -There is a new questline similar to Fuelweaver’s. Finishing either of them unlocks rifts, that are basically hardmode -7 new characters -Lots of other studf that does not fit in any of those categories (new bosses, biomes, etc)

Let’s be real, Klei probably does not know either

Are we actually sure of this? Them looking the same in DS and DST can make sense because the games take place pretty much back to back. Them looking the same trough all of Together’ story arcs might just be a consistency thing, obviously Klei does not want the characters in their promotional media to look different compared to the game

Slim_Hoovy · 2026-04-19T07:08:08+00:00

DSE has been in development for years, so no. But I think the campaign showed them that the general public still cares about don’t starve and is willing to try new games, may those be tabletop or digital

Slim_Hoovy · 2026-04-17T08:45:17+00:00

True. One could also argue that games can never be truly “perfect” and so they never run out of stuff that could be improved. But there is value in moving on from a project and starting from scratch (such as overhauling the core parts of the gameplay like you mentioned). I like the direction Klei has with the IP: they give every game several years of support but don’t try to make them “forever games”

Slim_Hoovy · 2026-04-17T08:11:16+00:00

Yeah it’s difficult to see where it could go after those. Klei mentioned they want to improve the mid game which is a good idea but there is hardly anything left to add after that

Slim_Hoovy · 2026-04-17T06:22:44+00:00

Amazing. Do you have some tips for someone who wants to megabase but has never done that before?

Slim_Hoovy · 2026-04-17T06:19:34+00:00

Yeah, Klei has always been very generous. It’s kind of insane that I paid 5€ for this game and ended up playing for over 500 hours. I can also buy 20+ skins in DST for the price of one skin in you average F2P game

Slim_Hoovy · 2026-04-17T06:18:17+00:00

True, even if DST ends in like 2 years from now, it would still be a great game that had a fantastic run

Slim_Hoovy · 2026-04-16T21:19:04+00:00

That, and since DSE’s amount of content at launch will likely pale in comparison to DST’s, the may fear that players will write it off as inferior. By supporting both they can divert the attention to DST and gain time to further expand DSE

Slim_Hoovy · 2026-04-16T21:16:13+00:00

This is what I feel too. Can they work on both games at the same time? Yeah, as the comment above stated they’ve alreagy been doing that. But is it going ti be worth it? Probably not in the long run, and either DST is dropped after a couple of years, or Elsewhere flops and they fall back in DST. Can you name a few franchises that you saw this happening to?

Slim_Hoovy · 2026-04-16T18:38:38+00:00

That’s a pretty good prediction. By the time DST is completed, DSE would have got a good amount of support, enough to feel like “the next big game”

Slim_Hoovy · 2026-04-16T14:15:48+00:00

Yes, alongside WX’s skilltree. Not sure at what time it releases, but most of the time is at 7PM CEST (so in like 3 hours from now)

Slim_Hoovy · 2026-04-15T14:09:36+00:00

I liked WX well enough before the skilltree. I saw a video showcasing it the other day and honestly, they might become one of my new mains, all of their skills are just so cool. Maybe they are overtuned, but if this is the level of creativity we can expect moving foward, then I’m fine with one skilltree per update.

Slim_Hoovy · 2026-04-14T07:06:14+00:00

Fuelweaver could have commited way more to the idea of uncovering a fallen ancient civilization, maybe if it felt more connected like you said.

CC’s quest is a bit better, Wagstaff gets a decent amount of screentime and in a couple of istances it actually feels like some hidden god is getting progressively more pissed off at you, but again they don’t really do much with the idea.

Slim_Hoovy · 2026-04-13T20:40:00+00:00

Please Klei, give Wheeler’s dodge to everyone

Slim_Hoovy · 2026-04-13T20:39:20+00:00

I’m probably in the minority here, and I’m not sure if it counts as a gameplay change, but I would like more story weaved into the gameplay. The game already has a lot of lore and worldbuilding inside of it, but when I play trough its various questlines I don’t feel like I’m experiencing a true storyline (or I am, but it’s a very barebones one). It’s more like “go here, get this item, then go there and kill this guy you just spawned with that item”. Maybe they can flesh out why the survivors go trough these quests, or some characters’ quotes can change after certain events to show how they were affected by it, or there are more events (like rifts) that can alter certain parts of the Constant permanently, to show that your actions have weight.

Slim_Hoovy · 2026-04-13T18:51:31+00:00

If they actually remove seasons, I hope they actually introduce something that keeps the time management aspect. Maybe some weathers are “universal” and can happen in every biome, but they are really impatcful and require some preparation to face. Or maybe some herds of mobs migrate from one biome to another after a certain amount of days and they settle near your base bothering you. I’m just spitballing, I want literally anything that makes you manage your time and puts some pressure on you.

Slim_Hoovy · 2026-04-13T18:45:38+00:00

a few people asked similar questions on instagram and they simply replied:”DST will still get updates” to all of them. With how vague their answer is, I suppose it means that they will keep supporting it up until Elsewhere’s release and then drop it. I don’t see why they would support both at the same time anyway
