It's a Depths Worm. It's fairly easy to kite but its bite packs a wallop. They're slow so it's possible to run from them if you don't want to spend time fighting them, which is probably what you'll want to do because they take a while to kill and don't drop very good loot.

Okay having fun again in the game after putting my adventure mode attempts on hold (WX-98 really gets it rough at the start) and started a Default Plus game with Webber. Which is actually going quite great, even if I need to find a way to kill off the Pig Warriors defending the Pig King so I can use his service. Shame I wasted the spider colony he comes with to make room for items default plus gives you.

Wow, thought when I setup my base camp with Webber that I was near the Pig King since Warrior Pigs kept coming for me. It was just a bunch of pig torches surrounding a ton of berry bushes. I am liking Webber, even if it a bit weird having the spiders be allies and the pigs are the ones I have to fight off. Also I need to make sure to not lure Chester into a spider nest next time.

So I just picked this up because of the sale and it's rather addicting. My first game went pretty terrible as expected, second was going pretty well until on the fourthish day I got mobbed by a horde of killer bat things, and my third lasted all of two nights before the same horde of bat things ate my face. Is there something I should be doing to make sure that doesn't happen? I didn't even have a weapon by that point and had to try and fight them off with an axe but there where six of them, if I tried to fight I got swarmed. I tried training them into a pig village but the pigs attacked me. Can I turn the hell bats off?

The bats come from the cave sinkholes. You can avoid them by not breaking the rocks that cover them.

Or just don't build a base near dangerous spawns. Try building in the grasslands, a screen away from any beefalo herds and preferably near some rabbit holes. You'll want to plant some trees nearby but it's a very safe start. Firepit + crockpot will make surviving a lot easier.

Oh nice, I bought the soundtrack yesterday from the daily deal since I like the music in the game a lot and had some extra card money, but noticed it only had the songs from the base game. Now I noticed after a patch just now it has all the Reign of Giant tracks!

Holy poo poo I just got so wrecked. I was pretty hungry and almost dead when I found a koalafant trail. Followed it to the end and instead of a juicy meat pinata, there's an enormous wolf thing who constantly summons smaller wolves. RIP Wolfgang. On a side note, it seems way harder to stockpile for winter than before. I got pretty lucky with gears and made an icebox early on, but now that you can't store rabbits anymore, I basically had no food stockpile on Day 16 or so. When I died to the varg.

I had such a nice early start with Wendy. I picked out a campsite a couple screens away from a pig village right at the edge of a swamp. I could be far enough away during a full moon, and stop by to pick up meat drops from pig versus tentacle brawls. Plus a couple spider dens around. Then I found a HUGE number of Tallbirds, and Abigail got caught up fighting them. I couldn't find her flower for a couple days. I managed to wake up a Treeguard to help beat up the Tallbirds while I searched around their nests, and I found the flower! ... right at the edge of a cliff at the sea, apparently a couple pixels too far for me to pick it up.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=btI6Eyqv01c Well Reign of Giants is out of early access now with the latest update, which also leads to that video above.. Also there seems to be a ARG in it now with a piece of paper that spawns upon starting a new game.

Woah... I just found something totally new; that I've not even heard about before a Note. When Wilson reads it, he says: "2 -(22.9)". Anyone know anything about this?

Other than that it's that ARG that Rirse mentioned three or four posts up? Not really. It might be worth a try to check those longitude and latitude coordinates though. If it's underwater it's probably not supposed to be interpreted that way, but if it's on land and you live nearby it might be a geocache!

Ran into an epic showdown last night. Pig village, spider nest, and chessboard all decided to spawn next to each other. There was a fierce battle with a rook and a couple knights versus all the pigs and spiders. Too bad I was playing Wendy, WX-78 would have had a gear feast.

Purchased the expansion, took in the sights as Wigfrid and didn't last too long....being a strict carnivore is pretty drat hard in the first few days when my normal modus operandi is to collect a lot of base materials (sticks, logs, stones etc) while searching for a good base location and surviving on carrots/berries until you start to 'tech' up. I'm really going to have to rethink my whole opening approach if I want to make any progress with this gal.

Tip with Wigfrid is not to be so worried about eating monster meat. Just make sure you cook it. Since you start out with armor, and regen on killing mobs you can easily recover the lost hp/etc. Also, you can 1v1 a beefalo immediately upon spawning.

You also want to get a crockpot up as soon as possible. You can turn all those veggies into meatballs with just one piece of meat (even monster meat), so they'll still have a use as Wigfrid.

Might be easier to start on Default+ too, you get a lot more spiders to murder and start with a good pile of resources.

One tip for Wigfrid which allowed her to last all the way from Autumn to Summer (until I tried killing the Summer Giant) is make a camp near a area with several pigs and also a few spider nests. Kill the spiders for monster meat and also getting some HP back and then feed the pigs the meat to make them into monsters to get two big meats and some pig skin. Even with her "only eat meat" policy, you can still sneak berries and other fruit and vegetables into the crockpot for making stuff like meatballs and meaty stew. Meanwhile you can use the pig skin to make a football helmet for her and/or use it to make more pig houses so you have a constant supply of pigs to farm. I didn't find the pig king until very late in my run mentioned, but with his constant supply of gold you can also keep remaking her armor and spear instead. Otherwise just use one werepig to make a meatbat.

I often build a base camp in the field biome because jerky is so vital for her. Build like 15 jerky racks (easy to find the mats in a field biome) and kite bosses/hounds/frog rains into the herds. Then dry the dozens of meat you get.

That's really cool, I always thought that multiplayer could work in DS. Things like resource consumption can be adjusted (they boosted rocks drops in RoG) but handling loot or limited use structures will require consideration. I wish it was called 'Don't Starve Alone!' though.

I just started playing this and I think now I understand people who play Minecraft. I have no clue how to work towards any real goals but I love just wandering around building traps and stuff. I was very frustrated at first until I figured out you can zoom the map (not the game screen, the actual map) enough to see where things are  The only annoying thing is sometimes it takes forever to find that one piece of gold to make a science machine.

Multiplayer sounds awesome, though I hope there will be servers and not a P2P system, as the lag would be pretty annoying. Though with only 2-4 players per game, I imagine they're going to go with P2P.

Not needing a level 1 science machine for spades and such is amazing. I bought this for some of my friends when it first came out and most of them have hardly played it, so this might be a good chance to make them!
