Tips And Tricks

• Gather Resources: Look for resources at every corner as you go and gather as many materials as possible. You will need all of the resources you can get your hands on to survive in the game.
• Build Tools: Use materials you have gathered like wood to build tools that give you extra storage for more resources.
• Keep an eye on time: Every now and then, check the time of the day in the game. As you play Don’t Starve Together, you don’t want to get stuck in the middle of nowhere when night comes. In case you don’t know, many dangers lurk in the dark. When it is getting dark, it’s wise to stay close to light sources.
• Think about hunger, sanity and health: From the game’s name, you will get a game over if your character starves. Still, besides hunger, there are other things to look out for in the game like sanity and health. Low sanity spawns enemies that can attack you while low health leaves you vulnerable.
• Collect Gold: Like in the real world, gold is a valuable material in Don’t Starve Together. You can use your gold to build structures on challenging terrains.
• Pick flowers: Flowers are antidotes for low sanity, especially when it is difficult to find light sources during nighttime. If you have enough flowers, you can use them to put together a garland which lessens the effect that adverse events inflict on your sanity.
• Make a backpack: By default your storage space in this game is limited but you can expand that if you have a backpack. To get a backpack, you need grass and twigs. Also a science machine is necessary to weave everything into a backpack.
• Craft armors and weapons: To defend yourself from enemies, you need to have weapons and armors but you need a science machine to craft those. Alternatively, you can pick up weapons and armors from skeletons.
• Get to know the temperatures: In Don’t Starve Together, different seasons have different temperatures and they affect the course of your adventure. For example, in cold seasons, you must wear warm clothes.
