Don’t Starve Together Beginner’s Guide: Automation & Creature Farming

[@quinnmcdonald3763]

This was the most advanced, complex, heavily worded beginner's guide I've seen.

[@ellastarburst736]

My words exactly.

[@soccerdude360]

Yeah I'm lost as all hell and won't remember sht

[@kevinpadilla6476]

It's the most beginner friendly guide to this I've seen, at some point the issues are too complex and convoluted to be in a beginners guide ig.

[@aidenforthenguyen2892]

hey, is this a guide?

[@StewartHiles]

Literally was going to shout this. "Use a lazy forager(?)" B*tch wtf ASSUME WE DON'T KNOW WHAT THAT IS

[@monstermonquey9442]

This is not beginner by any means but I loved the video, it is just what I’m missing since automation in my current world isn’t a thing and I was forgetting a lot of farms that existed, great vid bro

[@emmansanchez2575]

read the title to me real quick

[@axoshlotl2255]

​@@emmansanchez2575 that doesnt mean anything, automation in this game is complicated and someone just getting into the game isnt gonna be able to understand it right out of the gate

are those evil petals he’s using to keep them from walking in? i cant tell n he never mentioned it

[@phanna9775]

this was lovely to watch, I personally like to lead deerclops through a line of trees since she shows up early but bearger is definitely better at it

[@michaelcoleman2173]

The issue with that is when a Giant walks over trees it destroys them into a single log and a stump, which is hyper inefficient. Beargers charge + slam outright *uproot* the trees, dropping their full loot and leaving no stump

[@llarydeluxe]

I'm awfully glad to see you pumping out some new-player friendly guides Demon! I dont usually watch a lot of guides because I'm well educated in the world of the Constant, but I occassionally come back to watch yours and James Bucket's videos because of how soothing your voice is and the sweet rhymes James makes.

[@nilamdhanave8066]

He gives me the fallout vibes

[@abandoned.mausoleum]

im only at 4:11 so please dont get upset if this is in the video already but for those of you who dont like fighting in the game, Lure plants can be planted on boats, they wont spawn eye plants and you can get like 5-7, some berry bushes and a small farm and youll be pretty set for food. plus when you do get meat you can either use it or save it for a ham bat

[@Jaxck77]

I’d really like to see the ability to tame Catcoons as a way to auto-catch insects. Because then Moon Trees would be super farmable.

[@adamsawicki5430]

4:17 How do you plant trees like that? I do t see you aiming your mouse to place the tree. It looks like you hold a button and the get planted in nice rows

[@DemonRebuilt]

I'm using the action queue mod ► steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2873533916

[@maxmilansemerad7296]

Thank you DR, I'll be definitely using the volt goat pen and the shadow pieces setup

[@vitorfray]

It's nice to see more people using the krampus farm! I had the idea for it a few years back on jazzy's server. My nickname was Tnetennba back then.

[@cabbibal]

I'd like to add the "meatball-production" machine that is ~30-40 Berry bushes around a small 5x5 fence, with a berry (later: powdercake) in the middle. Picking berries by day will spawn turkeys, who will try to reach the fenced in berry. Kill all turkeys for easy meat, goes well with all the berries you picked. easiest beginner Farm imho

[@DemonRebuilt]

I used to make berry bush farms religiously but I can't say I've made one in a very long time now. Maybe that's why I always have so much rot 😂 Turkey dinners are great though.

[@ninjaace0944]

i have to admit, i am kind of a pro at the game yet i still watch the begginer videos. there is always something to learn

[@l_MaRf1Mm_l]

Me on my way to comment on a 2-year-old video 🏃 For Krampus farm, you can use anenemy's to manipulate bird spawns (+ if someone is interested, you need approximately 112 walls and 10-12 anenemy's to build this farm, and like 3-4 statues so Krampus can't get in). There are videos on how to do it, but if you want, you can test it yourself.

[@DemonRebuilt]

I used some anenemies for my solo world krampus farm and they work really well, although I always manage to accidentally walk into them from time to time.

[@l_MaRf1Mm_l]

@@DemonRebuilt Fair price to pay for birb manipulation

[@ayeshaakter9340]

I use a different way of gathering nightmare fuel . The farm is very efficient and extremely safe. Basically you have a boat in the midde of the ocean,then you have a bone helm and wandas alarming clock. And then you hold F while wearing the bone helm. And thats the farm you kill the water terrorbeaks before they have a chance to hit you and these dudes spawn give or take every 7 seconds. This farm is almost fully afk the only thing you have to worry about is fueling the alarming clock which you can do in like 4 minute intervals. Also remember to have a perma light source like bulbous lightbugs and a lightning rod if you are doing this in spring. Also a plus side of this is you can do this when the world is a perma full moon and you cant use the shadow pieces farm anymore and you dont need a ton of rock. Its not as good as the shadow pieces farm but it is my idea and i think it is neat

[@monsexeenorme]

Require to beat AF tho

[@attackeh]

@@monsexeenorme i am VERY, VERY late, but cant you just use nightmare amulets? like yeah they're temporary but for early game you dont need a ton of nightmare fuel

[@hispanofr3658]

haven't seen this game in a while, might get back to it

[@RadicaIjoe]

There's also the twig gators, besides supplying twigs, they also are very cute.

[@cg7265]

What’s the best way to get them to your base? Tele locating?

[@Petdelbo]

There are no twig gators! Right?!?!?!?!?! ?!?!?

[@Myce_Mycologic]

i don't think twig gators exist?

[@Myce_Mycologic]

oh you mesn grass gators

[@cg7265]

They are grass gators but they drop twigs, which is probably why he’s referring to them as twig gators

[@Man-of-segs]

For krampus farm: 1. just use tentacle trap instead of winona catapult, krampus can get stunlocked by it. also its cheaper 2. anenemy can be used to make all the birds land in one spot instead of around you

[@Casssien]

It's one of the best guide for this game I ever seen!

[@Youmu_Konpaku_]

Amazing tutorial on making resources easier to obtain

[@karajohn5504]

Concerning the Volt Goat farm, Will multiple farms require multiple telelocator focuses? I fear that the herds would merge were i to use the same one over and over, ruining the farm.

[@DemonRebuilt]

Nah you can teleport multiple safety goats into the same pen. Unless you're playing with many people, you really shouldn't need more than 2-3 though, especially if you set it up early on. I've got just the one in my solo world and I have more horns than I know what to do with.

[@karajohn5504]

@@DemonRebuilt Thank you for the swift response and the amazing guide!

[@dzsikhaj1155]

Side note, farms where statues are used to protect the "lure" could break easly. I'm not 100% sure why but it has to do something with the generating of areas and mobs spawn faster when you load a section of the map the statues so the said mobs could get in the lure cage. So for pig farms I think walls are the only real solution for safety.

[@ZimCrusher]

grate guide. I farm Marble by using Woodie. I just eat a beaver idol, and let him chew through all the marble. Saves on gold, and other stuff, you'd need for building 15+ picks. No need for Badger. You can farm gems by building a hallway out of marble, with a door on each end, near a herd of beefalo. run the hallway, and close the door on each end. Because it's marble statues, it wont read as a wall, so he will keep running into the statues, instead of the door. Let the Big dog keep howling, and calling in more hounds, for the beefalo to kill. As long as you have a water dispencer near by, the beefalo wont burn.

[@xtdycxtfuv9353]

Spulmonkeys + tenticles is like the most OG farm

[@ThurstonViking]

It seems obvi but a berry farm may be the most beginner friendly farm there is. But also marble farms with gunpowder is a recent addition to my collection. I'd also like to throw out there not a farm but the better way to plant/harvest kelp. This was great though Demon!

[@rezahageby4411]

I needed to see this video. I am now enlightened.

[@DrClauze]

Is there a reason to use statues rather than walls for the werepig/pig farm?

[@DemonRebuilt]

Werepigs have a tendency to attacks walls after they transform for some reason. It's just better to be safe.

[@Thewhitedragon27185]

For me as someone who’s only made it to the first winter with not much playtime, I can’t imagine doing any of this stuff. I’ve barely seen any of the creatures mentioned lol

[@LibraryofAcousticMagic3240]

same and I usually survive till late spring

[@dzsikhaj1155]

When you farm moonstone you can save the staff from changing into a moon caller staff. The event takes about 2 minutes to complete and with this in mind if you put the staff into the socket when there is less the 2 minutes remained of the full moon the staff won't turn into the moon variant but the pigs, hounds will turn into moon statues.

[@DemonRebuilt]

The moon caller staff is great though :P

[@CursedIchor]

@@DemonRebuilt not if you have infinite full moons and you want easy moon rocks without going to the lunar biomes

[@nathanialhammonds7268]

I find the best way to do the krampus farm is with a wolfgaing and the starfish, make all the birds spawn in one spot and woulgain throws his marbell dumbell killing them all at once

[@ioannismiaris4720]

Well there is a identical farm with lure plant that works for every character, you just build the farm to the caves preferably the closesest entrance you have and you kill the luteplant. At the moment you go in the entrance luteplant will start collecting the grass so its easily done

[@andrewb7104]

if you have a wendy you can farm evil birchnut trees for infinite twigs / nuts. you simply get a boat next to a evil birch tree far enough they cant jump then fire staff with iceflingo and have boat close enough for abigale to kill the birchlings

[@MrFishio]

With the moon quay update, you can telelocate a powder monkey to grass geckos or twiggy trees for automation. Just kill the the monkey to get your stuff.

[@henrytownshend8862]

Wow you use mini sign for bunny farm, I saw others use grass wall

[@DemonRebuilt]

They would both work but for some reason you can put a lot of mini signs in a very small area so you would be able to do more damage by fire this way.

[@greoryryryryryr]

For the shadow pieces cheese I prefer to light a rope on the boat on fire to sink the boat. Saves 40 gunpowder, just be sure to have the boat rowed as close to shore as possible.

[@DemonRebuilt]

I thought you couldn’t do that strat anymore?

[@greoryryryryryr]

@@DemonRebuilt nah still works. They made it a little harder to do. Sometimes the knights are just on the side of the boat. But all you have to do is have the boat as close to shore as possible and then just dance back and forth a little so they stay centered on the boat at the moment the boat sinks.

[@DemonRebuilt]

@@greoryryryryryr Gotcha. Cheers

[@emmanuelramirez1380]

I use catapults instead of gunpowder It's harder to aim fire staff on console and sometimes fueling the gen is cheaper than gunpowder

Also I do it backwards and tank bishop and rook ON the boat and have the knights on land A lot more space for knight statues I've done over 100 knights at once

Your wrong about wood BEARGER IS WORSE THAN MAXWELL IN EVERY WAY Bearger Can be used on any character Year 2 exclusive Maxwell Fast Can be used right out from spawn Maxwell is a kind of jack of all trades where he's good at everything except mobility Storage check check check! Fighting easy Resource collection with a flick of a page Insanely good nightmare fuel farms (bunnymen)

[@DemonRebuilt]

I made this video before the Maxwell rework, so he is better now than he was before. However, for chopping down a lot of trees in a short amount of time, I don't think anything can come close to Bearger. You can run through a line of trees in seconds and then you just have to pick them all up. Maxwell is much better at that cleaning up afterwards for sure, and the extra space is amazing. For me personally, if Bearger is alive in the world, that is my first choice. If not, then Max, Wurt, Woodie or Winona (with her new stuff) depending on my situation. There are so many good and valid options, it's hard to go wrong.
