*Technically* there is SOME reward for doing this. In DST there is a crockpot dish called Tall Scotch Eggs, which require a tallbird egg and 1.0 worth of veggies to cook. This dish restores 150 hunger, 60 health, and 5 sanity, making it an incredibly good dish. When a tallbird you raise grows up, it will attempt to create a nest, because adult tallbirds without nests will try to create one. So by suffering through the process of raising a tallbird, you can create new sources of tallbird eggs, giving you more access to Tall Scotch Eggs. It's not a completely pointless endeavor, its just a mostly pointless one. As someone who has done this with 2 tallbirds at once, don't do it. It's not worth it, and even in a super late game world with practically unlimited resources, it's just not fun having to limit yourself from doing anything fun to keep some dumb bird alive for multiple seasons.

yeah there is a lot better farms but the fact that they restore 60 health makes them pretty good if you have absolute MOUNDS of patience

Not Fun Fact: Rising Tallbirds was one of the features to be added in the small-ish early updates of regular Don't Starve in its infancy as a full game, and the ability to raise a Tallbird has basically not changed in any meaningful way since the feature's release. To be honest, I kinda wish they did rework it, like any Tallbird you hatch and raise have a lower damage Stat but somewhat higher HP than normal Tallbirds, but only need to eat once every one or two days and don't attack you.

I remember when I first started playing DS i was determined to raise a smallbird, eventually I got one to hatch and hang out with me for a bit but at some point it got lost or something and I'd just assumed it died. Fast forward a few days and I was exploring near where it disappeared and, Apparently what actually happened was it went and Murdered an entire Tallbird nest biome. More than that, and I guarantee this was a glitch in the code (that I still have no answer for to this day) the then abandoned eggs in the Tallbird nests ALSO hatched and what I ultimately stumbled upon was hundreds of tame birds murdering every single hostile tallbird that spawned in. Eventually the hostile tallbirds killed them all off but it was literally the coolest thing ever while it lasted lol. Also a great accidental farm

Tallbird eggs do have a sort of niche use as an emergency food supply, bc if they're not cooked and are just left in egg form, they never spoil. You can leave one in a chest for multiple seasons and have it remain just as edible. But considering the amount of risk involved in getting one (if you steal one from a tallbird instead of killing the parent, the parent will chase you for miles like a fucking terminator, to the point where you start wondering if this is just your life now), they're not really a consistent viable resource. They're absolutely worth grabbing if you can do so safely, but they're not usually worth routinely going for unless you're good at fighting

If you're interested in doing fun challenge runs in this game you should totally check out the community tournament that's being hosted right now!

Dude i love seeing you brach out into new games. And im happy u have a comunity that lets u do that

[@onuhrita5009]

This was so beautiful to watch and I actually got attached to the babies... All of them! I was so scared when Soup didn't remember you, he was still too young to be on his own. I am glad he is doing well, sucks his primary motive is to kill you but still beautiful either way ❤

Was NOT anticipating DST content, but thanks for introducing more people to the game! Idk if you can tell by my Wilson icon but I'm a big fan haha

[@Greycreaturee]

Dam, that ending was actually something else. I hope you’re doing well out there, Soup. Another generation will flourish. Genuinely a beautiful montage, never been so proud of some pixels and code in my life. Times I saw myself: 4:45 14:05 16:05 16:13 16:29 17:18 17:31 18:27 18:37 19:30 21:29 21:34 21:56 22:15 22:59 31:25 54:12 54:18 54:31 55:12 55:54 56:21 56:42 57:08 57:12 57:21 57:24 57:33 57:39 57:43 57:57 58:13 1:13:11 1:13:14 1:13:25 1:14:54 1:16:18 1:16:26 1:19:48 1:19:53 1:20:08 1:21:18 1:21:33 1:22:02 1:22:06

[@Naursss]

been getting back into dont starve lately and this video went to my feed, you timing couldnt get any better spiff thank you!!!

[@KimberPrime]

Going back to make sure Soup could make a nest of their own was the perfect happy ending

[@KSmith-kp5jz]

The tall bird forgetting who you are makes me really sad. :(

[@SqrunkTrep]

The chad soup swooping in and casually eating up every single penguin egg

[@AG-ng1ml]

The Long Dark is a great survival game with some super fun challenges, it seems really up your alley! And also yes, it's set in Canada. Great job once again :)

[@charmeleonevolves5553]

1:11:51 That line made me laugh WAY more than it should have 💀

[@yamjay5613]

SOUP STILL LOVES YOU BUT IT'S IN HIS NATURE TO BE HOSTILE TOWARDS OTHERS AS A TALLBIRD

[@joe-4]

we are getting closer and closer to the spiff terraria gaming

[@kyolavender3219]

I tried this once, i dont remember what happened, it probably died since i dont remember it hatching, but the character in the mod 'cherry forest' for DST, has a unlockable trait where when you raise a tall bird it will love you forever, which is cool and im sure there are other mods if you really want a tall bird, and if you dont want to raise one or have it grow, i believe You can have a pet baby tall bird with the more pets mod {i love mods}

[@jacklansdale77]

Ur so wrong about the egg being mid, it doesn't ever spoil so you can permanently rack up cold storage food. Sure it can start hatching if you get it too close to the campfire but just stick it in a chest.

[@hampstergame566]

Returning to find a single morsel of meat in place of your smallbird has started more villan-arcs than most other things I assume

[@nagliskisielius3643]

55:00 Sploff hit his desk so hard that my phone physicly fell out of my hands

[@CoinClever]

To protect the forest, Tall Bird weighed the sins of those who entered the forest, for Tall Bird's scale could weigh any type of sin.

you can stop it from turning into an adult by playing the flute when its changing, then ill stay with u forever

[@ai6896]

Don't starve together? Just eat alone!

[@entropic-decay]

i'm now thinking about how i might rework or add onto this mechanic to make it worthwhile, were i a klei dev my first thought is some way to lock a tallbird in the adolescent stage - maybe a fruit of "eternal youth" that, if you or anything else consumes it, the one consuming it dies (because if you die young you never grow old), but if a tallbird eats it then nothing happens - unless that tallbird is young, in which case they never age into an adult but if having the bird become an adult is a requirement, maybe doing certain things with it in its childhood and adolescence build up an invisible "loyalty" score that, if high enough, makes the adult tallbird not attack the one it's loyal to and continue following them, while hunting for food on its own

[@Monkey64215]

Astralspiff making a don’t starve video was a surprise to be sure. But certainly a welcome one!

[@hmmmalright]

seeing the chat either judge spiff for his old man don't starve ways, or completely misleading him is absolutely beautiful 😂

[@sir_axoIot]

Spiff's finally playing Don't Plink

[@TheRPGNerd]

someone should make a mod where if you take really good care of the tallbird it remembers you once it grows up and stays loyal.

[@Bigboiio1]

I used to play this game all the time with my friends after school. I'm glad you're giving it the coverage it deserves .
