That tree monster scared the crap out of me the first time I saw it. It has an insane amount of hp, so I couldn't kill it (weapon ran out of durability). Luckily you can soothe it by planting new trees in its neighborhood.

Played this a short while ago, when winter was new. Maybe I should try it again.


I had a fire staff that I forgot to use, so it killed me. That was rather... annoying. Razz

What's the point of the game saving my progress each morning since as soon as I die, all of my progress resets out and I start anew from the very first day?

So you can continue the game later when you quit?

Quote:
Don't Starve saves the game automatically at dusk and dawn and when you close the game.

The save system is designed to make your decisions more meaningful to the game and to discourage the use of game saves to avoid the impact of critical decisions.


This means that you can still exit game and keep your progress.

Same thing when I exit the game and load up my save. I end up starting from day 1 with no resources and with the default recipes enabled.

That obviously shouldn't be happening: are you playing the legit or pirated release?

Using 3DM's release. Guess it's one of their cracks that has problems when saving. Oh, well, wasn't planning on playing the game extensively, just wanted to briefly see what Klei'd cooked up in their kitchen this time around. Very Happy

Do you even need a crack to play? Try some of the other releases if you'll pick it up later again - fun little game.

You can trade the pig king for it (he'll take most meats except monster) or just mine the rocks for it. The ones with the golden veins have a higher chance of dropping the nuggets.

I think it just appears randomly on the ground. At least that's how it's been in my case two times now. Laughing

Gold Nuggets can be found in the rocks that have golden lines, sometimes theres an area with a rock floor, in those you will surely find rocks with gold lines, mine those and u get gold.

When you mine the rocks, they should drop. Not every time, but at least 50 percent of the time, you should get one gold drop from the rocks.

Maybe they changed it along the way, but I don't think so. I haven't played for some time. Usually also some appears randomly on the ground. And pig king can trade you for some. Best with unique items (e.g. from graves).

Day 20, I have somehow managed to survive this long.

I am tired, my beard is long, supplies are low, and enemies keep on coming.

I have already perished once but was lucky enough to be resurrected at some weird pig head pike place...thank god for that.

Nice tw1st . I played couple of games since the official release and got to day 12. Got lucky and found two of those pig altars on one map which helped a lot. I wonder if you can make some sort of sacrifice there to reset it after you use it. No spoilers please. Also, from what I know is that beard is more then just a cosmetic thing. It's good to shave it, and sometimes even better to keep it on.

I do have a question though. Can you at any point grow flowers? Don't need to know how just yet, just is it possible.

Only thing u can do is take a day to gather Berries, Carrots, Seeds, make animal traps for Birds, Bunnies, make a base around a place with lots of bunnies and flowers.

You will have:
-Bunnies to trap, kill and cook
-Birds to catch, kill and cook
-Flowers atract butterflies, when they settle on the flower go and atack them, wings are tasty.
-Cook the berries.

Thats how i survive, i take 1 day to gather a lot of food and then i go back to rock hunting etc.

Also mandrakes give a LOT of hunger relief and always have a Straw Roll bed to cure ur insanity.

I've tried this game out of curiosity and I have to say, it's pretty damn great!
Everything is quite easy at first, but after several virtual days things get hectic with the aggressive fauna that wants to rip your face off (damned hounds).

It's suggested to not look on the wiki otherwise it would spoil all the fun in my opinion Razz. Curiosity will often bring you to death though, like when I derped and tried to smash a killer bee hive Laughing

Haha yeah, it's so frustrating at times, but if you don't play Rambo-style and learn from your mistakes you can hit the 30 days mark without big problems (assuming that you're lucky enough to not encounter any angry wild beast Laughing). There's still so much to learn though, I've barely scratched the surface of this game.

There are people on YT who managed to survive for 400+ days, that's pretty darn impressive Very Happy

To be honest, after you've gotten through your first winter, things get easier. After day 60 or so I started to make myself insane on purpose to farm the nightmare stuff from the transformed rabbits, so I could get the better equipment. Killed the tree thing, spider and the deerclops.
In the end I died due to being a retard at around day 110. Didn't notice my armor was at very low durability and got ganked by red assed beefalos of all things Sad. Hadn't put up a new meat effigee yet. Thought I was safe.. you never are.

Kiting them and hitting them with a spear A LOT of times eventually kills them and you can get away with no health lost because they hit so slowly.

Anyway...died twice today because I forgot to light a fire because I was reading the recipes and when it all went dark I couldn't see the fireplace to put logs on.
