As you said, rocks aren't renewable, and the developers aren't going to change that, since the main drive of the game is to manage the delicate balance of resources you have available. When you're playing your first few worlds, especially if you've been unlucky with the random generation, it can happen to run out of resources and die while looking for more. ...

The game has no defined winning conditions, at least for the moment. The developers have stated many times that they like the game to remain open-ended, with the player himself defining his own goals. On their roadmap anyway they have planned a Story Mode that will let you discover the secrets of Don't Starve by progressing through increasingly harder ...

The XP system has been changed since this answer was given. Now you gain 20XP per day survived, regardless of how many days have passed. This means that now, to unlock every character up to Wickerbottom it takes 64 days. The detailed XP requirements for each character are the following: Wilson: starting character; Willow: 160XP; Wolfgang: 320XP; Wendy: ...

Larger fires cast a wider radius of light, and offer more resistance against a later game creature which extinguishes fires. A single log adds 45 seconds to a campfire, and 90 seconds to a firepit. If it is raining, a firepit will consume fuel twice as fast. A more complete table of fuels can be found here. While a Firepit is a controlled fire, a campfire ...

Everything you put in the research machine is gone for good: the challenge of this game is to survive with the limited resources you have available. Here's a handy list of the current known resources and their availability: Grass: infinitely renewable resource, unless you pick up the Tuft with the shovel and feed it to the Science Machine; Saplings: ...

Well, maybe the usual spot for your base is in the wrong place then. If you simply can't reach food from there, find a place where you can. Rabbits are pretty good early on. Berries are good, as you mentioned, but aren't going to be enough on their own. Forage for them early on, but later you should dig them up and move them to your base. If you see a ...

Well, most of the resources that are renewable and portable you will want nearby. That means using your shovel to dig up bushes, saplings, and tufts of grass and planting them all nearby. Plant trees nearby as well. Ideally these things will be close enough you can get to them at night to have something to do before the sun comes back up, but you don't want ...

Make your base by a field of bunny holes, and make a spear, and some traps. Bring berry bushes back to your base. I'm on day 32 living with the bunnies. Make a farm of berry bushes and plant stuff in the manure and seed farms. Works great for me! Good luck, and remember, in future updates this game will only get better.

Seeds- 4 hunger points 1 health point Berries- 10 hunger points 2 health points Eggplant- 50 hunger points 1 health point Dragon Fruit- 5 hunger points 12 health points Honey- 3 hunger points 30 health points Flower- 0 hunger points 1 health point you can find a complete list here ...

Whenever you cut down a tree there is a small chance (larger at night) that a nearby tree will turn into one of these, some call them an "Optimus Pine". Also, burning trees down will increase the chance of waking it up. There are several popular strategies to deal with them: Lay a campfire and kite the monster over it to set it on fire. There is a bug ...

The items you dig up from graves (other than amulets) seem to be purpose-built for researching -- they only require a shovel to acquire, and they give 80 research a piece. The only other use for them is to trade them for gold with the Pig King. Amulets, as of the Nov 27, 2012 update, provide resurrection upon death; amulets are probably too valuable to most ...

The wiki appears to say that an Alchemy Machine can be used to prototype everything that the Science Machine can: The Science Machine is used to unlock tier 1 items, and the Alchemy Engine is used to unlock tier 1 and tier 2 items, making the Alchemy Engine the higher level Prototyping machine. I believe I've seen this for myself, standing by my ...

Rabbits will venture out of their holes, despite being scared into them. Alternatively, if you're impatient, you can use a shovel to dig up the hole, forcing the rabbit out. However, this has the negative effect of there no longer being a renewable source of cute little critters for you to murder in your quest for survival. It's worth noting that holes ...

How traps work is pretty simple, if a rabbit gets near it, the rabbit gets caught. So what you want to do is get the rabbits near the trap and you can use any means to do so. Using carrot as a bait attracts the rabbits to the trap. I never tried using anything other than carrots so I don't really know if berries work. BUT I would say there isn't any point to ...

When you use a carrot it is faster. The rabbits will be attracted by the trap immediatly and you can literally stand next to it and wait for the rabbit to go into the trap. If you do it without carrot, then it takes until the rabbit takes the trap. I have noticed that the amount of time is random though. Sometimes 5 minutes, sometimes I have to wait to the ...

At the moment the most efficient items I've found to fund the researches are the Grass Tufts and the Saplings. They can be found when digging cut or uncut Grass and both picked or unpicked Saplings with the Shovel. Each one of them gives you 20 research points, which makes them worth more than gold in this regards(gold nuggets only give you 15 research ...

You should be able to follow these directions to import your save file: Importing save files - Don't Starve Forum Copy this URL and put it into chrome(Without quotes): "filesystem:http://dontstarve-release.appspot.com/persistent/" Right click on each file and save them into a folder somewhere (And remember where it is) Open Don't Starve and choose ...

Loot that graveyard for research before you decide to move on! It doesn't sound like you have a terrible world, but also not a super easy one. Having a rock field handy is a bonus, as is having early berries. The only thing you are missing that I find super useful for starting out is a bunch of rabbits. There are a bunch of other food sources -- perhaps ...

You can find all the informations you need on the wiki (the Krampus has been put in the game 3 days ago, so some numbers may be wrong, I'll update the answer when more accurate numbers will be available). Basically at the start of the game you're given a treshold of 30 Naughtyness. Every action damaging a "nice" creature subtracts points from this treshold ...

You have no choice but to explore other islands. Pack yourself a backpack, food, and armor. I'd recommend waiting for a hound attack before leaving, and then take off. As you explore around, be on the lookout for Beeafalos and watch where they occur, so that you can run to them when you hear the sounds of an imminent attack. It's difficult to get hounds to ...

It is a known bug, and they're working to fix it. Basically, if the werepigs are busy (probably killing something) at the moment they're supposed to turn back to normal pigmen, they'll stay in their current condition, attacking on sight anything near them, be them spiders, tentacles, Wilson or even their own kin.

I just killed two. I woke them up in the morning and was surprised when two of them came at me (as I thought you were only in danger of them spawning during evening and night). I've never previously survived against even one of them, since they were most common way in which I have died. What I did was get away from my base. I torched a tree to ignite it ...

No. It has nothing to do with serial keys, though. Even if GOG is DRM free, they often supply a serial key with their games. This is for your convenience. Should GOG one day go bust, you still have your serial key – which is your unique code, or "proof of purchase", if you will. This should not be confused with DRM, though. DRM simply put limitations on ...

According to the wiki, when a pig is killed they will always respawn in their house. They respawn the morning immediately after their death. As far as I can tell, this is regardless of what killed them or whether you occupy their house. Additional information can be found at the wiki page.

The Pig King doesn't accept Gravedigger Items that are used in recipes, including red and blue gems, as well as nightmare fuel, gears and amulets. Only items that aren't used in recipes (labelled in the Wiki as Trinkets), like gnomes, marbles, etc. are accepted by him.

Yes, the Deerclops spawns every winter, roaming the land looking for things to crush. It does not seek the player actively unless it gets close, but it will always be announced by a growl and the ground shaking. If you stay out of its way you can make it pass, but it will not despawn until it's Summer again, so if you don't have the right equipment to fight ...

The fastest way to reduce your sanity reliably is to eat Green Mushrooms, if you have them available. They can be found in Forests and the Savannah, can only be picked at Dusk and reduce your Sanity by 50 points, with no HP loss. With 1-2 raw Monster Meat pieces on top of that you'll become Insane in no time, just remember that Monster meat deals damage when ...

Sadly no, there's no way to stop any kind of fire, you're just supposed to let it die on its own. You can act preventively, setting up your crops and your eventual reserve of wood with enough space to reduce the damages, but in the end, in case of fire, you can just sit back and collect charcoal and ashes afterwards. Even rain, that by logic should help ...

Burnt trees, like the stumps of chopped ones, are out of the normal tree lifecycle. This means that a burnt tree will remain in that state indefinitely, until chopped. Once a tree gets burned down it basically becomes a new gatherable resource (charcoal) in the same way you gather twigs from saplings, with the difference that you can't plant a burnt tree. ...

Fighting the Optimus Prime head on is another maybe risky option. But if you have the right timing you can kill one without taking any hits. Because the Pine attacks so slowly you can get 3 attacks in, move away to avoid his attack, go back in and attack 3 times, etc. Without too much difficulty. Having a spear to do this would help a lot since the Tree has ...
