Thanks again and have fun survivors!

April 27, 2015 - Bugfix

Rev. 134052

Changes

  • Added a mod function to query the game's id. TheSim:GetGameID will return “DS” for Don’t Starve and RoG, and will return “DST” on Don’t Starve Together. This can be used to allow modders to have a single code base for mods that they distribute to the DS and DST Workshops. DST will be getting a new optional variable in their modinfo file named api_version_dst, which will allow the same mod info file to be used in both Workshops.
  • Enabled /LARGEADDRESSAWARE for Windows builds to help address memory issues with large mods.
  • The Mods screen now does a version check before downloading Workshop mods and doesn’t download them if they haven’t been updated. This functionality was brought over from DST, and will help users on slow internet connections who are subscribed to numerous mods..

Bug Fixes

  • The crock-pot-insta-rot issue fixes that were implemented in DST have been brought over to DS. This affects both the stewer component and dryer component.
  • Herd size bugs. Bugs that caused beefalo and rock lobster herds to grow out of control were addressed in DST and those fixes have been brought over to DS.

March 26, 2013 - Doorway to Adventure

Doorway to Adventure

New Features

  • Adventure mode is now integrated into survival mode. In a survival mode level, you can find a special portal that will take you to the start of adventure mode. If you die in adventure mode, you will wake up back in your survival level, outside of the portal. From there you can try again (restarting at level 1, of course). Dying in survival mode is still perma-death-fatal, and retrying a survival level will always generate a new one for you. Any existing saves that you might have from previous patches will be interpreted as survival levels - you should be able to teleport out of them to get access to the new features.
  • New front-end screens for dealing with the save slots and the new game flow.
  • The adventure levels have been re-done to better match what their final structure will be. They’re still a bit rough around the edges, but you can start to see the overall sweep of the game now. Please see the detailed descriptions at the end of the change list.

New Craftables

  • Healing Salve - Made from crushed spider glands and ash - heals 20 health
  • Lightning Rod - Protects bases against lightning, gives you a night of free light when struck.
  • Heat Stone - Place it near a fire to warm it up, and then carry it around with you to fend off the bitter frost.
  • Earmuffs - Made from rabbits, of course!
  • Piggyback - A fancier, bigger backpack (that slows you down!)

New Creatures

  • The Bishop - guards Maxwell’s structures with lightning shots

New Level Features

  • Chess biome! In adventure levels, Maxwell's influence has begun creeping into the environment.
  • Points of interest and traps - these are small, non-random areas that have good or bad effects.
  • Touch Stone - these mysterious stones act as one-time-use meat effigies if you touch them. There are a handful generated in each survival level.
  • Maxwell's Door - leads to adventure mode.
  • Pleasingly-arranged mushroom rings
  • One-way "Sick" wormhole (only in adventure mode currently)
  • Pig-head-on-a-stick - someone’s been busy!
  • Variant Berry Bush

Tuning

  • Compressed the XP track. You now earn 20xp per survival mode day at a flat rate, and unlock all the XP-unlockable characters a lot more quickly
  • Characters have a bit more health by default. This is to reduce the number of one-shot player deaths, and give you more of a chance to run away from danger.
  • The player now has 15 inventory slots
  • When you advance through the teleportato in adventure mode, you can only take four items with you. Choose wisely!

  • Waking up sleeping hunting hounds at night will rouse the walruses from their slumber
  • Fixed a bug where you could use a sleeping bag or tent during the transition from night to day to skip an entire day. 

Level Descriptions: The adventure levels are still being worked on and refined, but here's an idea of where the are right now and where we want them to be.

Level 1:

Near-constant rain and frequent short winters take a toll on your sanity and your fires. You must survive in these more extreme conditions as you hunt for the teleportato pieces. When complete, this level should feel similar to a survival level, but with increased pressure on all your resources.

Level 2:

This level is smaller and shorter than the previous level, but it is permanently winter! The aim is to survive the cold without any preparation time. When complete, this level should keep you moving quickly.

Level 3:

The level features a resource-rich central island, surrounded by dangerous lands containing each of the teleportato pieces. Right now it's still fairly lush, but eventually the outlying islands should be quite inhospitable!

Level 4:

Use the first land to stock up. Once you pass through the dying wormhole, you'll need everything you've got to survive. We're currently still working on the balance between the two lands.

Level 5:

This level should put your survival skills to the ultimate test, not only will there be harsh weather and tough monsters, but resources will be extremely scarce. Eventually. Right now it's just been roughed in, but it's still got lots of badguys in it!

Level 6:

Maxwell is still devising this level...

February 26, 2013 - A Winter's Tale

A Winter's Tale

Winter Winter comes every 20 days or so, with snow and a new audio landscape. Ambient air temperature is modelled, and your character will get colder the longer he/she stays out in the open. Getting too cold for too long will cause freezing damage. You can extend your time away from the fire by wearing warm clothing. Nights are longer, and vegetation does not replenish. Bees and butterflies don’t leave their houses in the winter.

Improved Mod Support There is a new mod API that should make mods break less when we update, and allows multiple mods to work at the same time. Here is some documentation on how to create a mod. Language packs are now actually supported. We supply a strings.pot template file with every update, and the game can load .po language files. This should make maintaining translations a lot easier, and you can use industry-standard tools. For more info, see here.

New creatures:

  • Mactusk N' Son - Sets up camp in an igloo with his Son, and then hunt you with blowdarts and hounds.
  • Deerclops - He’s big, he likes to smash stuff, and he’s really hard to kill. You should probably just run away.
  • Winter Koalefant - You can harvest his warm winter trunk.
  • Snowbird - A winter bird that drops a new type of feather.
  • Mosquito - Spawn from ponds or Maxwell's Mosquito Traps. They eat too much and explode!
  • Blue Hound - Assists MacTusk N' Son with fighting and he has chance to drop Blue Gem

New Drops 

New Craftables

Adventure Mode (continued) This update continues the development of adventure mode, and seeks to refine the difficulty curve.

  • Varying summer/winter lengths
  • Varying day/night lengths
  • New resource-starved worlds
  • Island chain worlds with lots of Worm Holes

Sandbox Mode (continued) Added a new world creation screen. There are only a couple of options enabled currently, but soon you will be able to unlock more! Sanity tuning From our testing, we determined that sanity was coming on too early for new players, but was also easily avoidable by established players. The intention is for sanity to be a long-term lurking danger, so this was the complete opposite of what we were going for. Here are some changes to help rectify this:

  • Vegetables , Crock Pot foods don’t regen as much sanity
  • Monsters cause more sanity drain when near
  • Player’s Initial Sanity is higher
  • Pure darkness causes a large drop Sanity (instead of a gradient around a light source)
  • Shadowbeasts show up later in the Sanity curve, and are unattackable when you are not insane.
  • The Crawling Horror is weaker and the Terrorbeak is tougher
  • Charlie the invisible monster deals sanity damage when he hits you.
  • The sanity effect jiggles more slowly, so as to be less nauseating.

Tuning / Fixes

  • Rabbit Traps work again
  • Maxwell leaves traps for you in Adventure Mode
  • Armor is less effective
  • Player attacks are less powerful
  • Pigs can’t be stunlocked, have less windup animation before an attack, attack less often, have more health, take longer to respawn, and attempt to kite their targets
  • Bees run around between attacks
  • Meat healing and health values adjusted
  • Dead rabbits respawn slower
  • Beefalo drop fewer meats
  • Honey doesn't heal as much
  • Honey generates more slowly in bee boxes
  • Spider Dens have more warriors, and cycle through levels faster
  • Spoilage is a bit faster in general
  • Stale food has less of a hunger penalty
  • Healing values are a bit lower in general
  • Ponds show up in more places
  • Eye Bone turns to ash during teleportation even if you hide them in a backpack
  • Teleportato pieces are more scattered, and have little setpiece scenes surrounding them
  • Pan Flute require a mandrake to craft
  • Darts shouldn’t miss targets that are walking away
  • More effective Bush Hat

February 28, 2013 - Hotfix

Balance:

  • Armor durability back to sanity-patch levels
  • Player does 34 base damage instead of 33 (so as to not leave creatures with 1 health that requires an extra hit)
  • Werepigs kite like normal Pigs

Features:

  • Tent overhaul - acts as a multi-use Straw Roll (restores sanity, costs time and hunger)
  • Straw Roll has a normal hunger penalty, not a percentage

Fixes:

  • Translation fixes (some spelling fixes too)
  • Possible fix for rare oncreep crash
  • Highest campfire light level circle is larger than the second highest

February 29, 2013 - Hotfix

  • Fixed a crash on day 12 of Level 4 of Adventure Mode when the seasons change.

February 13, 2013 - Hotfix

New item:

  •  Garland - a pretty hat made out of flowers that gives a small sanity buff until it rots away

Bug fixes:

  • Abigail doesn’t hurt walls, and keeps more distance from you
  • Natural pig villages in new worlds won’t be too large
  • Bird traps take longer to trap birds
  • Wall repair is cheaper
  • Pigs say the right thing when they are befriended
  • Pigs don’t eat things off ground right when they are spawned
  • You have to force-attack to attack your own wall

Sanity Tuning:

  • Making a prototype gives a small sanity boost
  • Crawling Horrors and Terrorbeaks don’t hit quite as hard, and have a bit less HP
  • You always resurrect (slightly) sane
  • Wormhole sanity penalty is lower
  • Nightmare fuel drops more regularly from shadow monsters
  • Killing a shadow monster boosts sanity a bit
  • Shaving increases sanity
  • Ground Watchers come later and are less numerous

  • Wet goop does not restore sanity
  • Sanity penalty for eating spoiled food is not as strong
  • Reduced nightmarefuel crafting costs
  • Reduced night light insanity aura

February 12, 2013 – Insanity!

Insanity!

New Character: Wes - Do you think Don’t Starve is too easy? Try playing as Wes, the mime! He’s not good at doing anything!

Sanity - The player character loses sanity when he is left alone in the dark, gets close to scary monsters, or does crazy things like eating monster meat or jumping through a Worm Hole. Sanity can be regained through acts of dapperness, like wearing fancy clothes in the sunshine and eating candy. Low sanity is not fatal, but strange creatures from another time and place are attracted to madness. There are new, powerful items that can be built from the Nightmare Fuel that they leave behind when killed.

Save Slots - You can have up to four save games at once now. Your existing save will be imported into the first slot when you start the game for the first time.

Sandbox Mode - This is the game as you all know it. There will eventually be a customization screen before you start a level, but you just get the default generation for now.

Experimental Adventure Mode - When you start a new game, you can choose to play in adventure (i.e. story) mode. Currently, there are five levels of difficulty as you progress through the levels. This is an early test, so we have a lot of work to do to make these levels meaningful and fun. We also need to add the story’s ending. This is for experienced DS players who want a taste of the future.

Pathfinding - Monsters and followers can navigate around corners and walls.

Mod Support (steam only)- Modding is now allowed! We’re distributing the source scripts with the game, so have a look in data/scripts, and see what you can do. There is an example (machine-translated) French language pack included with the game to get you started. See the modding forum for more details.

New Craftables:

Tuning:

  • The tent is cheaper to make, and doesn’t restore health any more.
  • Natural roads are curvy and look better.
  • There is a way for non-Wilson characters to find beard hairs in the wild.
  • Sometimes, when you find pig villages, they will have carrot and flower farms.

  • Heated beefalo won’t go out of their way to aggro walls.
  • Spider queens no longer give birth to unlimited spiders when they have a combat target.

Deprecations: The old world gen and the old research system have been removed. If you have an existing save game that was using the old research system, you will have to build some science machines to unlock your recipes.

January 29, 2013 – Progress!

Progress!

You can escape the world by finding Wooden Thing and activating it. You get to keep your inventory, and you cash-out any XP that you have and unlock characters without dying. This is the first step towards story mode. The world that you escape to is no harder than the first, but this will change soon!

New Research Method: Under the new research method, you unlock access to tiers of recipes by building research machines. You can unlock a specific recipe by building it near an active machine, after which point you can build it anywhere. Your known recipes last as long as you do - they will travel with you to new worlds if you escape, but you will lose them if you die. There are no more research points or grinding. The science machine is now a bit cheaper to make, and the alchemy engine is a bit more expensive. This is a big change, so we've made it optional for the time being. When you start a new world, you will get to choose between the new research method or the old one. Your progress in the old method is not available in the new method, but will be there if you switch back. We will be phasing out the old method soon, but wanted to introduce the new one carefully.

New Character: Wickerbottom The Librarian can be unlocked with XP. She gets a bonus research tier, because she is so smart.

New Creatures:

  • There are Baby Beefalo. You can eat them, if you are a terrible person.
  • Worm Holes are sprinkled throughout new worlds. I dare you to click on one!
  • Koalefant, an elusive herbivore that you can hunt. He is hard to find, and harder to catch. He drops Koalefant Trunk and lots of meat.

New Craftables:

  • You can build three types of defensive Walls (Hay WallsWood Walls, and Stone Walls). These can be destroyed by monsters, and repaired by you. The AI pathfinding is not done yet but will probably go in the next update, so enjoy confusing the heck out of pigmen while you can.
  • You can make wooden floor tiles and place them like turf.
  • You can make a Boomerang and throw it at other creatures. Just be careful when it flies back at you!
  • You can build a Pitchfork, which takes over turfing duties from the shovel.
  • You can craft a nice, comfy Breezy Vest.

New Other Stuff:

  • Spider dens produce creep tiles Sticky Webbing that slow down movement. You can dig them up and place them if you like.
  • Added a better death effect for creatures.
  • Spline-based Roads look better, and make you walk faster.

Balance Changes:

  • Every new Meat Effigy that you create takes a chunk of your max health. It gets returned when you die, or when you destroy the effigy.
  • Made Monster Lasagna recipe that shows up when you use too much monster meat in the crock pot.
  • Cooked / crocked foods inherit spoiledness from their ingredients (with a small bonus).
  • The "new world gen" is now the default. The old method will soon be deprecated.
  • Added a character quip when Hounds are approaching.
  • The Tent no longer swaps characters - it is now acts as a super-powerful bedroll that restores all health and hunger.
  • Honey Nuggets and Honey Ham spoil a bit faster.

Misc Bug fixes:

  • Birds don't spawn seeds when flying away if there's already seeds nearby.
  • Tooth Trap can be reset with Right-click.
  • Beard fountain doesn't... fountain.
  • Teenbird and Tallbird aggression fixes.
  • If you die with something in your hand it will drop on the ground instead of disappearing.
  • Fix for missing Pig King in new world generation.
  • Fix for hangs in new world generation.
  • Massive speed up for new world generation.
  • Fixed bird/wilson animation freak-outs on slower machines.
  • Darts and poop won't magically accumulate at the world origin.
  • Berries won't show up in farm plots.

January 15, 2013 – Spoiled Rotten

Spoiled Rotten
  • Food spoils over long periods of time. Stale and Spoiled foods are less beneficial. Rotten food is practically inedible, but can be used as fuel or fertilizer.

  • Crock Pot foods are stackable up to 40.
  • You can build an Ice Box to mitigate spoilage.

  • The mysterious Otto Von Chesterfield (an Eye Bone item that spawn a Chester) can be found in some Marshes, and can be befriended (a new world is needed to find the Eye Bone).

  • New art for the Rockyland biome.
  • Minor bug fixes and tuning.

January 11, 2013 - Hotfix

  • Krampus will target loose items on the ground before going after chests.
  • Krampus runs a little slower.
