*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.

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 he 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. Much better outcome for bothering to raise such a stupid bird.

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.

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

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

[@loganlane8160]

I have waited years for such a collaboration Spiff and don't starve I can die happy now

[@dragondude7165]

"My original plan was to let Soup kill me, as a sign of ultimate love as a parent" Spiff thinks he's Freya from God of War 2018

[@TheDoc_K2]

wow, I actually got really emotional at the end there... which is amazing considering how absolutely BORKED this mechanic is! kudos Split, you made me cry of Soup.

this guy posting is actually the only reason i remember time is moving, thanks for the reminder

[@KSmith-kp5jz]

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

[@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

[@joe-4]

we are getting closer and closer to the spiff terraria gaming

[@tetro431]

haven't played don't starve in a while you got me back into it so thanks. Also I'd love to see you speedrun don't starve it's a really fun game to speedrun and really interesting.

36:15 Paused the video here and saw “Spird 1” 😂

[@An_Average_editor]

Nah I did too 😭

[@shigushigu741]

There's a mod for DST called Health Adjust which changes the values to be in line with singleplayer DS (Or whatever the values would be with the amount of players in a server) It's really good for adjusting to DST's content!

[@RyukiriDragon]

Whoooa a don't starve video! I've been watching a lot of challenge videos recently, so I'm actually so excited that you're making a don't starve video, especially one of the og game!

[@Vraar]

Dude this really hit me in the feels. Absolutely loved every minute but DAMN. the ending....my heart strings were yanked.

[@wittkopdotzgaming]

"I'm old now at 24" Never has Spiff sounded more relatable before xD

[@omegablaze135]

Thanks spiff, you’ve now made me obsessed with Don’t Starve again after like 6 years. Good job.

[@AnomalousZoologist]

Woodie is unironically my favorite character in DS, and I love Lucy dearly. So when you kept putting her down I was like NOOOOO- Also. You landed on the one character who hates birds XD

[@feck7733]

I got dont starve together for my birthday a few weeks ago and seeing you post dont starve content after is just so surreal lmao

[@charmeleonevolves5553]

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

[@SybieSybs]

I bought the Don't Starve Mega Pack on Steam because of this video. Thanks, Spiff. I have no clue what I'm doing.

[@calvinjordan3624]

32:15 ✋ that’s me, and I keep having trauma flashbacks from the DST damage noise and getfixedboi legendary mode.

[@Bupboy]

So THATS where I've heard the sound before Never played ds or dst, I do play terraria and watch waffletime be better than me at terraria

[@kazekammy7517]

Would love to see Spiff do some Project zomboid because it's also a decent survival sim. Maybe some challenge runs like clearing an entire town without guns or fire (with nighttime sprinters), or building a new house with electricity and water from the ground up. Or both!

[@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.

[@crowdedcabbage4213]

It’s actually really cool to see Spiff playing don’t starve.❤

[@Shadessmh]

Praying Spiff gets into the kingdom hearts series next and does all the secret bosses at level 1.

[@CatCatuna]

I can't emphasize how happy seeing you play Don't starve makes me!
