Don't Starve Together Guide: Armor

[@TheBeard777]

Alright, let's clarify something that I honestly thought many folk knew about already but I guess not...! :D In solo DS, it's okay to wear two armor pieces usually. In DST, damage is distributed two both pieces of armor at the same time and still calculates mitigation and actual damage taken differently. In other words, just use single pieces of armor in DST and know you'll be good with double in DS. You will damage both pieces of armor if you get hit while wearing them, meaning you are lowering the durability of two, separate armors at once. So, again, in DON'T STARVE TOGETHER it is a slight no-no to wear two armors but you'll be better off doing so in solo DON'T STARVE.

[@Argonwolfproject]

I know they want to balance the game around multiplayer so that everything isn't too easy, but it really aggravates me that armor protection doesn't multiply in DST like it does in vanilla.

[@edinaldoc1]

Well, you didn't exactly waste them Armor does stack in DST, but not in the same way it does in DS In DST, armor only stacks in terms of durability So, when you use a Log Suit and Football Helmet together, the damage taken will be divided between them, so they'll last longer than if you were wearing them separately

[@smushycows2334]

same I never knew...

[@merefailninja953]

Yeah damage resist dont stack but at least the damage splits so there is that

[@Fleetwayy]

Thanks for all the guides Beard! I'm not very good at Don't Starve, but these things help me a butt ton!

[@edinaldoc1]

Actually, as some extra info on armor stacking: Armor does kinda stack in DST, but not in the same way as it does in DS In DST, armor only stacks when it comes to durability, not protection So, for example: If you're wearing a Log Suit with 100% durability, and you get hit by a Deerclops (75 damage), you take 15 damage, and your armor takes 60 damage, which corresponds to 19% of its durability On the other hand, if you're wearing a Log Suit and a Football Helmet, and you get hit by a Deerclops, you take 15 damage, and your armor takes 60 damage, but, since you're wearing 2 pieces, the damage is divided between them, so the Log Suit takes 30 damage, and the Football Helmet takes the other 30 (which corresponds to 9,5% of their durability) So yea, wearing the 2 pieces of armor together does not waste more armor than wearing them separately, but it also does not increase your protection

[@TheBeard777]

The damage still gets distributed between the two making them essentially last a lot shorter than they would otherwise so again; In solo DS, it's okay to wear two armor pieces usually. In DST, damage is distributed two both pieces of armor at the same time and still calculates mitigation and actual damage taken differently. In other words, just use single pieces of armor in DST and know you'll be good with double in DS.

Okay, I think I have a some-what way of using the grass suit viably. What if, In DS, along with a battle helm/football helmet/thulecite crown/anything with decent damage absorption, you use a grass suit as well? It would stack the effects, I’m pretty sure. Although, I usually just use the body-slot for a storage item (If I’m lucky, a Krampus Sack).

There seem to be more things you need to prep for in each season than there is TIME to prep beforehand. Where the heck do you start??

[@alpkankoca1145]

Hello Beard! Can you make a video about preparing winter but not tutorial, we (for new players) need gameplay with your best tactics

[@darthvaderreviews6926]

Asking for a full playthrough of Winter/Winter Prep or something seems a bit outside the scope of the channel, I think the tutorial works fine. As a fairly bad player myself though, this is all you really need to do in order to get through Winter: #1: Make sure you have a food source. The simplest way for a new player to survive Winter is just to keep a Crockpot on standby, and make Meatballs using the abundant ice in wintertime. (1 of any meat item + 3 fillers like Ice) #2: Make sure you can stay warm. Thermal Stones are easy to make and everyone in Winter/Summer should carry one. Certain characters like Wilson and Willow can fight back the cold. Ideally, you want to shave a bunch of Beefalo while they sleep so you can make a Winter Hat (or better yet beefalo hat), but Rabbit Earmuffs can also work if you're not experienced enough, and even without warm clothing you CAN still get by on just a thermal stone. *Make sure you always have enough logs and grass to place a temporary campfire if you ever start freezing.* #3: Prepare for Deerclops. The easiest way a new player can deal with him is to just leave their base during the last few days of Winter, that way if he does show up you can just run away. As long as you do those three things, you can survive Winter and it's a lot easier than it seems. Winter's true challenge is taking advantage of all the things that happen during it (eg. getting a Walking Cane, getting an Ice stockpile, killing Deerclops...) but surviving it just takes a little know-how.

[@kopian4]

I think kiting guide would be fun

[@littlefuniman6881]

i think football helm should have 75% damage reduction so it makes the battle helmet better in comparison and log Armour not useless unless in early season changes like winter before you get a puffy jacket, unless they make a bag that can go on your head, there isnt any point in creating a log suit when a helmet with cheaper materials, the same durability, the same protection, and the ability to wear bags in combination with it with the added bonus of a 20% water reduction exists. it needs some sort of pay off because its basically better in every way compared to the log suit unless you need specific items on your head like an eyebrella.

Discounts don't add up. Alrighty then, marble suit for tanking, helmet for venturing out!

You can build infinite fish farms that generate free fish forever, an infinite tar wich is a fuel for the sea yard, repairing your boat every time for almost free. Die, die again and then die again to gain experience you need, in your brain not game experience, because it's much more fun exploring, learning and surviving by yourself, maybe the 10 firsts tries haha.

[@sinancothebest]

You forgot Bramble Husk, the Wormwood craft. While it's not very protective with what I believe 70% protection, it's a perfect utility item making cacti, spiky bush and rose picking cause no damage. It also damages the foes that attack you with AOE so its ideal for murdering underground hentai collumns. Also while armors don't stack their protection, they stack with their durability so while it's not very efficient to stack two armors with same shtick like wood armor and football helmet, it certainly does pay off to mix and match some since you'll be benefitting from the higher protection regardless. You can make your Bramblr husk last much longer and benefit from 80/90% damage reduction with wearing a good head armor with it. In opposite, since grass armor is so cheap to craft, you can make your head armor last longer by wearing that too, as it'll distribute half the durability cost on grass suit, taking much less from head armor.

What did you mean by "can't stack armor"? Is it like, if I only have a football helmet, I will have its protection, but if I have a helmet and a log suit, for example, "only one of them will work"?

[@edinaldoc1]

The protection value for them doesn't stack, so wearing a Fooball Helmet alone, or a Football Helmet and a Log Suit together, will have the same protection benefit (80% in this case) However, the durability does stack, taking damage while wearing 2 pieces of armor will divide the damage between them (so you aren't wasting them by wearing both pieces together)

[@TheBeard777]

I keep seeing your comment Edinaldo and I appreciate you wanting to help as you are right in everything but the most important part of it all, YOU DO "WASTE" BOTH by wearing them at the same time in DST! Both armors take hits and thus you are damaging two, separate armor pieces with each hit taken so you are FAR better off just wearing one to prolong every armor you have.

[@edinaldoc1]

@@TheBeard777 There's just one thing i'm not getting, when you say "you're damaging two, separate armor pieces with each hit taken", you seem to not be taking into account the fact that they're only taking half the amount of damage they would otherwise I'm sorry if i'm missing something, but for me it still seems it's mostly the same thing, as, while you're breaking 2 pieces at the same time, they're also only taking 1/2 the damage they would, and these basically negate each other
