[Don't Starve] The BEST Set Pieces in DS/T!

Setpieces: Boons, traps, and points of interest can all help you survive the harsh wilderness of Don't Starve. This video will instruct you on the BEST Set Pieces in Don't Starve / Together.
Set Pieces are rare, naturally spawned structures and items in all game modes. They were introduced in the Doorway to Adventure update. Players can usually find valuable items in the set piece. However, some set pieces function as a trap, forcing players to either bear the risk when attempting to take advantage of the boon, or to disable the trap if possible. In some occasions, the player will have to retrieve the items from the set piece in order to escape the danger.
🖒Like if you liked the video, that's why it's called a like🖒

Don't forget Living Forest. 10 Tree Guards around you without them being aggressive to you = OP protection.

[@hydrax7131]

A couple years on and your old videos are awesome and helpful.

[@TheCnicus]

For Wicker: Reed trap For Webber: Queen's gathering For every other char except Wurt: Dev graveyard because you can turn it into an automatic werepig farm and get 100 meat and 50 pig skin every full moon. The yield ofc varies it just depends how many pig houses you wish to build around it. The design is the same as any pig farm except on a full moon the ghosts kill them all for you so long as you're near it.

What about the pig torches? They protect many goodies

[@theinternetpolice4365]

They protect goodies? I thought they just prevented players from invading grass farms/trying to kill the entire Pig King Village.

[@alexlionhart6978]

You both wrong... Kill the pigs, trap them with walls, build a base, and you dont have to worry abt making a laterns,, free torch for the night

I've seen a set piece that wasn't on this video. Found on DS ROG, it was a small square of wood walls, with one side open, and inside was an alchemy engine, a tent, an icebox, and a thermal measurer. It is certainly the best I've ever seen

[@sandsmoker]

[@noiceee8647]

It’s called a miners camp

[@matefenyvesi6407]

Wait isn't the trap setpiece with the rotting effect benefical? I mean if you pick up a lot of flowers you can quickly turn them into rot with that setpiece and have fertilaizer for day

[@Iceman5703v2]

A Cactus I never thought of doing that

[@tagtaa9796]

Good point bro

[@Sito1479]

A Cactus dont use flowers for fertilaizer use light bulbs

[@isabellalau4045]

Flowers for butter farm though !!!!!! :O

[@grimbo2768]

Tbh i have WAY too much rot regardless of the set piece

[@sinvirtue4605]

I'm surprised you didn't mention the ring of spider nests. I've been playing DST for quite a while and I only found it once. It's one of the best presets to use as webber and/or to gain resources rather quickly using traps. Or you could build a massive spider army and take down your enemies :-)

[@yuarkok6273]

and finally, the best setpiece you can find. *ad instenifies* FUUUUUUUUUUUCCCKKKK

[@stefansolciansky7302]

DONT SWEAR IN THIS CHRISTIAN MINE- uhh.. oh fuc- DONT STARVE SERVER!

[@Muimina]

Actually the tiny fortress with wool, a chest, wooden walls and grass, you can actually just hammer the walls around the chest and you'll be fine, I've done that the entire time, I figured it out myself years ago :3

[@felipen3830]

there is a setpiece that is a circle of grass walls with 3 skeletons inside and a TON of gears, like 10-20

[@mothersteele3218]

A near second for best in my opinion is the queens gathering( a bunch of lv 3 spider nests clustered together). As most character, this can be a spider farm with bunnymen and pigs, or in Wickers case Tentacles. However, if you play Webber it’s a godsend and a perfect place for a base. You can lure the giants there to kill them with the possible hundreds of spiders that you can get if you place more nests, be protected from possible hound attacks(though this is if you get them to attack the spiders first) and you can amass a large army of spiders to take with you wherever you go, so long as you have enough monster meat( though with traps you can farm the spiders themselves as they leave their nests without setting off a chain reaction of spiders, spider warriors, and possibly spider queens attacking you)

[@Patchess]

For an ad I got a McCormick cooking asmr video. This is actually very nice

[@takeitback.rightnow8553]

For the spider warrior trap..I got twiggy trees instead of twigs

[@mastertrey4683]

My favorite set piece is queen’s gathering as Webber. If youre a webber then queen’s gathering is the best protection you could possibly have. You can also make spider war, and make the spiders kill eachother so you can get their loot

[@thecreator6657]

Thanks for the tips on the staff trap, and the fire chest trap.

[@kittymae335]

I remember the winter trap used to be in DST, because I thought you could escape its effects by hammering the chest instead of opening it. My friend was not happy

[@xd-ko9oo]

thanks for the ds/t tag, i tend to skip dst videos cuz i dont own it and some of the content doesnt exist in the single player

[@DonGianiGuides]

Good video dude! I was planning to do the very same theme but you just outplayed me now :D

[@allanbonayon5797]

Don Giani Guides where's the ruins guide please I'm waiting

[@abpro1479]

6:30 you can also tame rock lobsters and have tem attack

[@hiss8276]

For the Beefalo Pin set peice: By putting something nonflamable in the chest when it's armed, you can reverse loot the chest, and disarm it. After doing this the chest can open freely, and the trap will not rearm.

[@FreddoFilms]

Hey, that's really cool. Didn't realise you could do that!

[@2001CuisinartToasterr]

that explains how it didn’t explode when i opened it

[@murtles6653]

The ice staff trap wasn't explained clear enough, I don't know how to pick things up.

[@khumakmotion]

Murt Les kill the hounds 1 by 1, then take the staff

[@shanejett3550]

Murt Les: yep. If u pick up the ice or fire staff all of the hounds awake and attack. So DON'T pick up. Kill each hound 1 at a time and the hounds will continue sleeping. Only the hound u attack will fight. Ice and fire hounds have lower health and die in 2 hits from most character with a tentacle spike or better. This means u take 0 damage easily and get a ice fire staff.

[@murtles6653]

(It was a joke)

[@shanejett3550]

Murt Les: pretty bad one. Ok i see now after reading again. Thing is idiots, noobs, n illiterate lazy ****** make the same comments or ask the same dumb questions. I find stupid noobs are genuinely much funnier unknowingly. Leave the jokes to them.

[@drdapperglommer941]

Murtles Craft a Lazy Forager so you don’t have to pick things up

[@notgabriel8624]

What about the miner camp set piece? It comes with a tent, shadow manipulator, and berry bushes

[@yotosliwyotoslow2530]

In 2018 I still love the game

[@johnxy-san2513]

how abt 2020

[@thewaterleaf7929]

Didn't you forget about the pig village, grass surrounded by pig torches or bee fields surrounded by bee-related items?

[@legamerfish49]

Don’t forget the miners camp you get a free shadow manipulator, bee box and a decent amount of grass tufts and twigs

[@themiller3940]

I love it when my setpeice has a random Willow in it. Side note: I main Willow in normal DS

[@AbsoluteEggroll]

7:33 if the food is spoiled it's still somewhat recent meaning that the skeleton is probably also recent.

[@renshe2906]

YAY A NEW FREDDO VIDEO.

[@beaub152]

I found the tall bird fort my first world and i spawned right next to it, instantly dying. What a great start.

[@etain21918]

With the beefalo pen trap I just hammer down the wood walls and collect all the wool and grass, get a bunch of wood from it without cutting trees and having a chance of a treeguard or 10 after me and put all them wood stacks far away from the chest and when it explodes there's nothing near for it to chain burn apart from some of the more useless stuff in the box it's a long process but hey. Need that wood. (normally manage to get the staff and gunpowder before it fully blows up)

[@lachiemallett9745]

Awesome video again mate :)

[@eldsdrak]

I rounded up a large amount of beefalo and left them at the tallfort. I was very effective. Most of the time tallbirds lost the fight even when ganging up, but sometimes a beefalo would die.

[@Grace-yr2xu]

5:41 ive gotten 4 of these in the past 2 days :(

[@G-Forces]

hammering the chest in the one with the walls and the beefalo wool only sometimes makes it explode

[@theinternetpolice4365]

Skeletons are the best set pieces imo. Yes, there are actual locations better that skeletons (the potato's resting place is literally a free prebuilt base), but *_on average_* skeletons are better.

[@varok1206]

Cool tip. Playing RnG if u find any favored set piece/reed trap without wicker keep the world. Start a shipwreck as wicker and explore shipwrecked. When u find a favored shipwrecked world use the shipwrecked boat and merge. U get the oither world as a new character. Get a reed trap without wicker? No problem. Get wicker to the reed trap haha

[@sourpatchkidsenthusiast5162]

I have a good idea for the hound setup since the hounds are EXTREMELY aggressive you use them for protection.

[@ReinforcedClub_c]

btw u can buen the chest and pick up the stuff in it after the chest burns but be sure to pick up the stuff befor they burn to without getting the negative effects

[@conquestanddeath4406]

*Depression intensifies*

[@yametekudasai7869]

Whenever I watch Freddo Films I’d be like “MOM! I don’t wanna watch nature T.V!!!” *After intro shows a game about nature* “That’s more like it!”

[@Liverator]

Damn, I came across one of those trapped skeletons, but I already had a backpack so I didn't take the backpack. I never thought that there would be stuff WITHIN the backpack!!

[@medicmike2836]

Wow! I opened that one ( 5:00 ) and was kinda glad I found it because the winter came (because I opened the trap) now I know it only harmed me.

[@alto4970]

Walking cane boon. Nuff said.

[@ThePigeonBrain]

RN-jesus decided to bless me with the tentacle field the very first time I ventured into the swamps, and I was instantly killed. I did not dare step foot in the swamps again for a very very long time.

[@zendakon8299]

You forgot the living woods. A large bunch of tightly packed trees that half of them turn into treeguards should you decide to chop it down even if you already planted 30 pincones it will still agro have the trees if you so much as chop one of them.

The winter season set piece wasn't removed from Don't Starve Together. Found it in a recent world.

[@wesleyt8474]

Would you consider the arrangement in Don’t Starve Together with a pond, Moose den, five berry bushes/three juicy bushes, three carrots, and some birch and evergreen trees to be a set piece?

[@Iceman5703v2]

Wesley Tsai no because it always spawns

[@danielmuniz864]

The Dragonfly setpiece Also always spawn

[@isabellalau4045]

I find that Moose dens for me almost always spawns near other 'set pieces' (Like Clockworks and frog ponds with berry bushes)

[@sonikdahedgehog9728]

Spider queen nest one is good as Webber but if your other character your screwed as the game let up to 8 queen spiders spawn at once and that can cause major lag for weak computers

[@thirtyninjas3407]

Had the reed one and tallbird one in same world. Survived 6 winters without attacking deerclops once.
