Ultimate Beginner Survival Guide (ALL Seasons) Don't Starve Together

[@Jakeyosaurus]

Changes: - Forgot to mention caves are disabled by default, so you must enable them. - Entering caves to cancel hound waves no longer works since March 2022 QOL Update. - Ancient Guardian can no longer be cheesed but his fight can be done with 0 damage with no speed bonus. - The Crafting UI Was changed which categorises items and structures, otherwise this guide is still valid :) Due to fundamental changes to the game including the crafting UI, I plan on making an updated version of the beginners survival guide at some point!

I honestly have no idea how a newbie is expected to remember all this information, while being able to effectively continue farming, exploring, and building. It's overwhelming.

[@uBreeze]

A bit late but as a newbie and someone who learns a crap ton about games like these when I hyperfixate on them. You’re not expected to remember all this information. Take in the information that is most beneficial to you. If you’ve been struggling at fighting beefaloo, remember how many hits it takes to kite them. If you’ve been struggling with sanity, learn how to take on shadow monsters. If you realize you’ve been playing too scared of pigs, take them on. Whatever, it’s a beginner’s guide. Something you can come back to and learn new things or resolve your struggles.

[@emilysaalfeld399]

I hear ya. I try to focus on one season at a time and with each attempt, try to get through the next one. Pretty soon you're good at getting through fall, then winter and so on.

[@ayumuchorizo4486]

As he said at the start the game is best experienced blind figuring things out by yourself. Players eventually learn which things take priority like hunger and light, then making a base, preparing for next season, etc. etc. It's all trial and error, that's why each failed playthrough is a funny memory (at least, it is for me!)

[@corinnepowers9646]

1. Write notes about specific things you want to try. I limit myself to one sticky note at a time. 2. Only watch one season's worth of video at a time, the season you're about to be playing. (lmao why would anyone try to retain all this at once? You should have learned by now no human is capable of that; stop expecting it of yourself haha)

[@JJokerMoreau]

These comments make a lot of sense. But there's a reason newbies stand around the campfire all night - there's too much to think about. People need a moment to consider, and shuffle their inventory. The beginner guide here actually shows off a fight with KLAUS. KLAUS! Like. What?! I don't think there's a single beginner on Earth that can micro manage swapping between weapon and movement stick. And while getting familiar with insanity is, undoubtedly, a good thing. Many beginners won't want to deal with it, or can't. I think the Beginner guide was just a little bit iffy on a few topics.

[@imaginari8013]

The one server mod I would highly highly recommend for new players is something called "show me". It will help you learn the game so much easier and faster. This mod displays information about everything as you mouse over it. Mouse over food in your inventory and you can see the stats it will change. Mouse over a pig house and it will tell you how long until another pig spawns. Mouse over a tree and it will tell you how many days left in the season. Mouse over an enemy and you can see their attack damage, as well as current and max HP. This mod does make the game a good bit easier, however I think it's worth it at the start to help you learn faster. Turn it off once you're comfortable.

I’m not sure if he mentioned this and I missed it, but if you somehow get 9 blue gems by a full moon before summer, you can fill each slot of chester with a blue gem on a full moon and he turns into ice chester. Which is just a walking fridge. You can swap out thermal stones from ice chester to keep cool

[@syllith3077]

Thanks for making this beginner video and showing how to kite properly! So many people are too scared of clopsy but you show how easy she is! Great job on showing them to use her for farming logs too! I usually plant more trees so she cuts down lots of trees and spawns tree guards to kill her, especially against winter feast clops who has lasers. Also a farming tip for those interested - Easy to remember for farming giant crops in winter; a one to one ratio of potato to tomato in a tile. Each tile can hold maximum 9 crops before overcrowding, we only want 8 crops in each tile for this. Plant four tomatoes and four potato in a single tile. These two plants compliment each others fertilizing needs, planting four of each in a single tile ensures the family bonus so all you have to worry about is watering every day and talking to them! when your giant crops are ready pick them and hammer them for all your food and seeds! Enjoy!

My one piece of advice is something I am surprised you didn't mention with Antlion is killing them isn't mandatory to avoid their wrath. If you need a bit more time to get ready, or want to avoid fighting them entirely, you can actually feed them foods they enjoy, and trinkets and such, and that can actually buy you time or allow you to avoid their wrath the entire summer. For those who want more time, don't have confidence, or just trying to do a pacifist challenge of some kind. *EDIT* just noticed your character tips video, nevermind.

one thing to remember is taking care not to go into the sandstorm if hounds havent attacked in a while, having to kill a wave of them with a ton of sand in your eyes can wear you down really fast, if the goal is to survive being careful with their timing is really good to keep in mind.

1:46:23 You can also use the tree guard strategy against Deerclops, it's a little bit harder because he doesn't destroy trees as easily but it's a very passive way to kill him if you suck at fighting

[@filipeoliveiraladislau4533]

Probably one of the best beginner tip that he did not touched up on is yourself spawn two(or three) tree guards not very far from your base and pacify then by planting pines, then lure him to then. You can make this easily by only choping the dead trees, this way one flint axe usualy is enought to spaw 1 tree guard at winther. Two medium tree guards usually let him with less that 400 hp and some times even kill him, even two small tree guards can cost him more that 70% of his hp.

This is actually very helpful because there's simply too much things in the game to figure out yourself and even if you did, you wouldn't know what items and farms are good to set up and what are not.

Just a warning for newbies, especially those who just can't seem to get a handle on kiting: Klaus is very much not a beginner boss. It is a raid boss on par with Bee Queen, and is very difficult to beat. Only a madlad like Jakey should try doing this in his very first winter; I would recommend actual beginners wait until they have a Star Caller's Staff and multiple Dark Swords. Otherwise, this is a seriously incredible guide and something I wish I had when I started. I love it, and I think that with the sudden influx of Terraria players looking at DST because of the crossover, this guide will be invaluable to many new players!

[@bubbleeater7192]

I do agree that Klaus is not very beginner friendly, but he is by far the easiest RAID boss, and is the first a beginner should attempt, but I do see where you are coming from as if you do not prepare correctly your kinda screwed EDIT: if you can't grasp kiting as well, your dead as tanking klaus is a death wish

I love the energy through this video, but I couldn't help but laugh every time you hear him crack up a bit from his own enthusiasm

[@colepeltier8472]

Your accent and entire vibe is so friggen wholesome.

I love starting a new world and getting an axe, BUT THEN IT TURNS TO NIGHT

[@theeskrungly]

I went from running away from Chester because I thought he was an enemy to building a good base, making myself good combat items and prepared for winter in under 11 days. Maybe I got lucky because everything is located in good areas and because I use Wendy efficiently, but still proud of myself.

[@DemonPrinceofHell]

That's pretty good. Better than me. I can barely sustain my sanity usually.

[@frawding9438]

kills klaus in a beginners video and then proceeds to tank deerclops instead of kiting lol amazing video still though

[@alexchatter692]

Very well made guide. Ove been really enjoying "Just starve" and have only been relying on the wiki when i find something i dont know. This is the first proper guide I've seen and its actually really well composed and presented

[@jasonsenter1646]

I honestly feel like this would've been a better intermediate guide rather than a beginner's guide. It's a lot to take in all for a beginner. Loved all the detailed tips and tricks though!

[@Dearthee]

your guide got me to day 52 :] i died due to wetness because i couldn't find the deerclops in winter so i couldnt make the eyebrella sadly, but day 52 is the farthest ive ever gotten so i thank you. However i feel you should give people more tips on things to do when you're missing something essential.

[@lucky_mcgee799]

Perfect I'm hopefully going to get this on Christmas and this will be great for me and my mates

Wilson has that kickass beard. Legit, one of the better characters in winter.

as a player who comes from minecraft (where i've never even gone to the nether or the end because i was too scared), DST was so overwhelming with the bosses & items & time-sensitive seasons, etc. this guide was so helpful since it was _actually_ aimed at beginners & not telling me to kill the ancient guardian by day 10. thank you :)

[@yoink497]

Me seeing the video length: "2 hours? That's crazy!" Also me, with 600+ hours in the game and having a deep understanding of everything discussed in the video: "Hmm yes, the video is over now"

[@ronbergon2397]

Easy tutorial for begginers, step 1: spawn next to gears

[@Jakeyosaurus]

Oops

[@JemiloII]

Another thing you can all do for Deerclops for the newbies, if you are too afraid to fight. Just have everyone make a camp fire far far away on day 30. After he spawns and you see him, just dip and avoid that area until winter is over.

[@Jakeyosaurus]

You can absolutely avoid Deerclops all together, but you will need to plan for a different way to mitigate the rain in spring, like an umbrella and football helmet :)

[@JemiloII]

@@Jakeyosaurus usually do since the deer clops doesn't drop enough eyes for everyone playing.

[@neonprado9989]

I love a lot of the info in this video! I love the emphasis on exploration and it teaches some really interesting tools throughout the seasons. I think my big gripe is that it rely’s on gimmicks like despawning the hound attacks by going into the caves, which is something we can’t do anymore.

[@LVDubstep]

Please continue the intermediate guide on this world so it can see your progress!

[@saehtnyS]

this is really good! i'm not new but my friend is and he was well...new, and he said this video really helped and that the fact that you didn't act like new players are bad that's also a plus

[@xdxd-ej2zz]

my current world is 500ish days but i just cant resist watching this over and over, so entertaining

[@travismillsap7628]

Got DST for 1 dollar a year ago and played it one time but it was very difficult I watched your guide before I played and even though it was great I still lacked experience especially with the controls. Now a year later I am coming back to your videos and after a year of staring at DST i'm going to try it again keeping mind that I need to fail forward and learn from each mistake. Thank you for inspiring me to pick this game back up after so long.

[@eledorusso]

if you think this guide is for beginners. you forgot what a beginner is a long time ago

[@christophertriemstra3957]

Why i was a total noob and this has helped me a lot

[@aimme7476]

Can you do more runs with different characters? I think it would be very interesting to see. You don’t have to do it with everyone if you don’t want to but I would like to watch some other characters runs or even more duo runs with different starts

[@skyxonxfire]

They are so many things as a noob I'd never know without this video. It's helped me make it to winter so far. This is my longest run. But I can't seem to handle fighting shadow creatures at all. I always always always get hit by them. It's so annoying. It's always my biggest issue.

[@alicegardener608]

not a beginner at all, been playing dst for years but this is still SO helpful and made me realise I should try and work on other things (not being scared of fighting, getting items, etc) ty for this

[@elvis1839]

you are the best dont starve creatore. keep up the good content

[@angwydud]

could you maybe upload that base design somewhere as a blueprint or something so we see exact distances from each building etc (basically an image that i can just look up whenever i need to)

[@ukaszbaszczak785]

Having played DST for 100h altogether, I come back to this guide regularly

[@rachelomgosh]

I have no intention of playing this game (I'd die too easily) however, I have been watching this playthrough over and over because I keep falling asleep and don't want to miss anything! Thank you for a great video!

[@Jakeyosaurus]

Play it with some friends, you'll have a blast!

[@rdfdarkmoon3242]

This guide was amazing, I sadly only learned a few things, but one of them was that I'm not a beginner! Looking forward to the Intermediate guide, also, great editting, near the end of the video you start stuttering and stuff but I can only imagine it's just cause you sat down for a LONG time and just... talked XD lol. Good job.

[@claudiacarrasco908]

Did dont starve together have a crossover with terraria?

[@blackbeast9268]

From the length of the video i thought it would be IRL survival but maybe this is useful too

[@randomguyontheinternet0]

OMG, this video is starts with "use WASD to move" and then comes with a whole bunch of things that i'll never know even though i've been playing this game for like 2 months (still trying to pass the first summer). And this is a survival game.

[@Cairo071]

meu amigo billy começou a jogar ontem, ele morria para escuridão, morria para o básico morria para si mesmo, agora ele sabe matar até outros players facilmente, sendo o primeiro e único brasileiro a conseguir tal façanha, chegamos ao dia 99 graças a você obrigado!

[@YourLocalJester]

TLDR: This video is just an info dump, not a beginner's guide. Take notes while watching this if you want it to be worth your time (still great entertainment though). The information in this video is the best I've encountered, BUT this video is the worst "Beginner's Guide" I've seen in a while. I come across this type of guides whenever I start playing a new game that is somewhat complex and doesn't explain itself very well (ex: Dwarf Fortress). I doubt the creator will see this comment but here is a list of all the things that can be improved: 1. The video has too much information in it. This is counteracted by how long the video is but still, by the end of it I couldn't remember 20% of the info let alone all of it. 2. The playthrough, and as a result the guide, takes a person (the youtuber) who presumably have spent hundreds if not thousands of hours mastering the game as a base. A new player will not be able to perform certain actions fast enough (ex: any basic game mechanic), or perform them effectively (ex: Micro-managing item swapping) to be at the same pace with the video. This might, and most likely will result in a beginner missing out on or acquiring certain items much later, which might cause problems for their run and result in even more time loss which could snowball. 3. It seems like this run was a lucky one, which means if a beginner gets unlucky with certain spawns/drops, they might not know what to do next. 4. The run doesn't account for player mistakes.

[@Jakeyosaurus]

Idk how I'm meant to account for people being slow, stand still for 1/2 of each day? Appreciate the feedback regardless

[@YourLocalJester]

@@Jakeyosaurus Well this is a surprise. I should have expanded on "accounting for mistakes", I really didn't think you would see this. What you could do is list the most essential things to be done during each season to survive so newbies could at least do those and progress even if they make mistakes and miss out on other things. So a new player would most likely try to do things in the order that is shown in the video, (at least I would) and if they got stuck at a certain step they would most likely try it until they get it done (the fact that some things you do becoming important a season later adds to why they would do this). And as a result they might miss out on essential things that would make the playthrough much easier. Also as a general suggestion: Listing the tips you give during a video at the end would make it easier to remember them (as a refresher) and make it easier to come back and look for a specific tip. Love the content btw.

[@Jakeyosaurus]

That is a good idea, thanks for expanding in your comment 😁

[@jekkareznikov9769]

Literally the best beginners guide of the game in existence

[@tsyphon9192]

36:54 I have a problem: in the twig farm and grass farm, they are equal to each other in how grass/saplings are placed. But when I tried doing a similar thing, the twigs have a larger area they are planted in. I'm new to the game so please help! Edit: I figured it out! You just have to turn your screen around a few times to find the proper placement!

[@danielrich2338]

That opening statement resonates with me... "this game is really fun to not know what you're doing whet you start and die all the time: buuuuuttttt... when you're sick of dying, look up some guides" 😆

This has helped me so much!! I've gone from surviving 10-20 days and being terrified of pigs to having survived 80+ days Thank you for making this!
