Essential Beginner Survival Guide (ALL Seasons & Characters) Don't Starve Together

[@Jakeyosaurus]

Do you have any questions about essential survival? Or perhaps tips for others! Leave either in a separate comment! ✅Checkout REDMAGIC 10 Pro Gaming Phone here: bit.ly/48VGkpb & www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B0DMSMNB51 Extra TIPS Suggested by community! - Check the controls! A lot of things you can do with your mouse and keyboard! Pressing space bar can pick up items, ctrl + f is force attack etc, check the controls of the game in the settings menu! - The watering can track doesn't work on console I'm told, so use the other methods I mentioned instead!:) - For fuel for fires and flingomatics, charcoal, manure, guano & logs are preferable to other fuel types like beefalo wool and glommer goop since the former is easy to get whereas the latter is a bit rarer and has other uses. - If you suffer with lag when caves are turned on, use the 'Don't Starve Alone' Mod which reduces lag as it switches off caves when you're not in them and vise versa for the surface world. - This play through was done with the lag compensation setting turned OFF. This adds input lag but improves accuracy of timing attacks & dodging. - Using a hostile flare you can spawn in more Deerclops during winter to get more Deerclops eyeballs. - After mining 20 gold in Autumn you might have more than 40 rocks, use those excess rocks to pre-craft a fire pit for your base later to save inventory space now! - (Forgot to mention) During summer if it rains then wildfires won't happen until the rain stops - Consider making a chest full of lanterns rather than holding light bulbs in a fridge! @loveeens - Instead of a seed fridge, consider making the seed pack-it, a backpack that can store all the crop seeds in the game. FAQ - Q. Why change the base layout from previous guides? A. The old base still works! But this new base basically sacrifices a little bit in aesthetics for more room & functionality, I also liked the idea of having a corner of the base empty for players to have room to build whatever they want to experiment! Otherwise it's just a general idea of what to have in the base. The shape is the one thing that probs shouldn't be changed :)

[@Cynewulf-d4m]

My pc cant run caves without being super laggy is that a problem or does this guide still work without caves?

[@Jakeyosaurus]

@Cynewulf-d4m You can use the don't starve alone mod which reduces lag, but does mess with a few other game mechanics which you probably won't notice

The fact that Jakey has to make beginner guides every year shows how dynamic the game is.

You can spawn more cloppses using the glommer firework if your playing on a team and need some more eyeballs

[@catoryal]

4:53 For anyone wondering, you can force attack a passive mob by pressing CTRL+F or CTRL+Left Click on the mob (F allows to attack the closest mob)

[@Cranberrie123]

I rebound mine to middle mouse, more convenient for me.

[@engineergaming6323]

Well that’s much easier. I would click on the passive mob and then press F. Thx!

[@Desktopped]

good guide! This new guide is definitely something I can just hurl to a new player without much worries of them attempting hard tasks! The previous beginner guide I didn't really like because despite it being a beginner guide there was a hefty amount of mob fighting and boss hunting and I couldn't really link that vid to a friend without telling them to ignore some of the video.

[@loveeens]

Nice guide Jakey! Here's a tip from me if it wasn't mentioned yet. Instead of a seed fridge make a seed pack-it (requires broken shells but they are easy to get from slurtles or their mounds downstairs). It works as a fridge for seeds but has more slots and is portable, nice to equip when picking up crops as seeds will automatically go to seed pack. Here's another tip: instead of storing lightbulbs in the fridge and refueling one lantern I usually make a lantern chest and swap them as they go low. Then once all lanterns are out of fuel, I get a stack of lightbulbs and refuel them all at once. It is a bit more expensive but a lot more convenient if you play with friends.

[@l_MaRf1Mm_l]

I love the instant turnaround at the 7:03 mark as soon as you saw the gold pieces (or graveyard), because in the commentary, you mentioned needing gold. But since this isn’t a "normal" way to get gold, it wouldn’t have worked for everyone. Also, I get that you might have turned around because you thought there wouldn’t be a rock biome nearby, but I think assuming it was because of the gold is much funnier.

[@Jakeyosaurus]

Technically you will always find gold at the grave yard, though it can spawn not at the entrance of the masic, so a more complete way to get gold is through gold boulders to get rocks too, so that's why I ignored gold at the graveyard haha:)

[@_c_o_l_d8166]

I just looked up tips me and my brother are getting back into this after years of not even touching the game we can't get into winter 😭

[@bluejay7058]

This usually means you're "overplaying" and that's not a tragedy! Just gotta balance that excitement for all things strange with not keeling over and dying.

[@-TheChosenOne]

Now THIS is how you make a guide! It's way better at helping beginners with what they need than your old guide did IMO. With that said, there are some things that you maybe should have mentioned that I suggest you put in the pinned comment/description. The first one is controls! I've seen MANY noobs not realize that you can pick up things with space bar or use anything other than the mouse for anything. At 4:55 I was like: "yeah about 1% of new players know how to do that". The only other thing I had was that you should have put huge emphasis, LIKE THIS, on that you should PICK GRASS AND TWIGS UNTIL YOU HAVE 40 EACH so you don't run out and focccin' die. SOOO many noobs simply run past grass and twigs after they gather like 5 and then they make a backpack and immediately go like: "ehh, I probably should have made a torch". Overall though, great guide!

[@christianquiroz4911]

Hey Jakey thank you so much for the content I got into DST this year and used your last beginner/intermediate guides to learn the game. I was curious why you used this base setup instead of the base setup you used in those previous guides, is this base setup better for a solo player? I usually use your base setup from the previous vids religiously, so I'm curious about how you make the different decisions

[@Jakeyosaurus]

This base basically sacrifices a little bit in aesthetics for a more room & functionality, I also liked the idea of having a corner of the base empty for people to have room to build whatever they want to experiment! Otherwise it's just a general idea of what to have in the base. The shape is the one thing that probs shouldn't be changed :)

[@christianquiroz4911]

@ that makes a lot of sense! I love that you did this bc it gives me a better idea of creating my own base design, one thing I’d love is if you showed the geometric placement for stuff but this encouraged me to rearrange stuff in the 7 by 7 for myself. Thank you again for the content and helping out a noob, the game is so much fun but the information barrier feels crazy lol

I have 1 question: does cooling off thermal stones with the watering can work on the Xbox? Because every time I try it, I put out the burning item but after I do, it won’t allow me to continue watering the thermal stone, even after I hold the button down.

[@Jakeyosaurus]

I'm told it doesn't work on console, so probs doesn't work with controllers, sorry!

[@elihammer6696]

Ah okay, thanks for letting me know.

[@loveeens]

The cooling trick also works with withered plants and farm plots but I play on PC and don't know if it will work better than putting out a fire on console. Try putting the stone on a farm plot and watering it - will it let you water for as long as you want to, or only once? Either way you might be able to repeatedly water the same time farm plot as there's no limit on how much water you can pour into it (overwatering crops isn't a thing in this game, thank God!). It is a lot less convenient since it's only accessible in your base though - could just use a fridge or endothermic fire instead then.

57:30 This does not seem to work on console by the way for any console players out their.

[@taulitaulington197]

This is a wonderfully detailed guide, with a lot of love and passion put into its delivery! ❤ But why are you telling beginners to use glommer goop and beefalo wool as campfire fuel? Is this to prank people playing on public servers? I don't understand. 🤣 For any new people reading this: there are FAR better uses for beefalo wool and especially glommer goop. Just use logs, dug turf you don't need, charcaol, poop lying around, low durablity wooden armor pieces, or dug spiky bushes as fuel. The list goes on, just don't use glommer goop for that, please. 😅

[@Jakeyosaurus]

Haha I'm too far detached from public servers it would seem! I was thinking since you can shave a whole savanah of beefalo every few days that beefalo wool is quite expendable and only really used otherwise for beefalo hats... as for glommer goop I didn't want to teach people to eat it as they'd then need to restore the sanity or lose the gained health from shadow creatures attacking, hope you understand my reasoning! But otherwise Charcoal, Manure, Guano & Logs are better value fuel sources!

[@taulitaulington197]

@@Jakeyosaurus I was more thinking about using glommer goop for hostile flares, which are essential in servers with up to 10 people, or making jam for knobly trees. But I can see how somebody could come to those conclusions, when you're not playing on pubs. ^^

this game is far from perfect and only advanced players will notice this but beginners they don't, klei isn't going in the right direction with the updates, skill trees existing wouldn't be bad if they were executed well, game is becoming more combat oriented which is bad because this game's combat system is not good, the updates should focus more on exploration and making survival more interesting and hard

[@Ne_Ne_Vova_UA]

@Jakeyosaurus sure :)

[@savvamon]

make some dummy worlds and playthroughs and practice basic skills, 1 small playthrough could be spending the 10 first days in game trying to learn about the bioms, trying to reveal the OUTLINES of your map and gathering the neccesary items for the start of your base. this takes about 1 and a half hour ( 10 days * 8minutes per day) , so you can repeat that process 2,3 times to get the exploration part down, which is the same concept for each season after automn, only the items you carry with you change (temperature regulators). So keep trying untill you feel confident in that skill and you should be good to go to start a playthrough that will have a proper base setup and start fighting bosses/mobs after.

[@savvamon]

tldr you will feel more relaxed if you know this world doesnt matter to you, and playing more relaxed will help you get the experience you want
