Wiki says you can actually befriend the prime mate???
where i switched puppets often since i thought duelists were actually helpful
im sorry what
maybe if you give the queen a banana they become potential friends?
In peacetime, it can be tamed like pigs. It feeds on plant foods, but can also accept meat from the character, by eating which it is tamed. Equips the armor and weapons given by the player.
yee makes sense
Also the queen's blueprints are in a set order based on which ones you know
I dont thibk the monkeys break walls so boxing in the portal could be a good idea for farming drops from it
mhm
i had a friend who lived on monkey island
its a surprisingly safe and hospitable place
not only are bananas a fantastic way of keeping all your stats up
I like the little critters
but there are native trees, twigs and grass and rocks and flint coming out of the portal
and the adorable little shining things
yeee
plus if you have a wonkey i dont believe the monkeys attack you even if you arent wonkey
u just need to have a wonkey with you
Monkey time
๐
a surprisingly good character considering its supposed to be a curse
most players would probably find him better than wilson
which is sad since im pretty sure wilson is intended to be the most balanced character-
but i digress, wonkey makes the funny noises
anyway modded max's whole playstyle revolves around the gaining of sanity to offset the loss of sanity u get from using your puppets
ex, chopping 10 trees = -100 sanity
mining 6 boulders = -100 sanity
digging 5 stumps = -25 sanity
fighting with duelists and guardians active = -60 to -300 sanity per min
with large armies, youre basically fighting as though theres a deerclops always next to you
and if you dont have the sanity to support the puppets they wont do as u say
if u run out of sanity while your shadows are fighting theyll stop moving entirely
and attacking, obviously
and modded max can consume nightmare fuel to restore 10 sanity
so he actually has a reason to farm it in massive amounts given 1 nightmare fuel = 1 tree
MMM TH EFU EL
i mean for me to keep up my army for a minute i'd need to eat 20* fuel per minute
so when i fought dfly i picked all the cacti in the desert
additionally maxwell has some fun added downsides
such as taking 3x longer to chop and mine
doing 25% less damage
and just not being able to dig
so hes almost forced to rely on his puppets unless u wanna have an even more tedious time doing things than wes
which forces him into the whole reliance on sanity restoration
hes also just
strictly wayyy worse at resource gathering than base maxwell
it doesnt help that his duelists require dark swords to be crafted in the mod
sure, modded max is able to use his codex umbra as a shadow manipulator
but it does cost 100 sanity to make a dark sword (alongside its normal materials obviously)
u also need 25 sanity to make puppets in the first place
its just a lot of sanity management :D
also while his codex is an amazing weapon against shadow creatures, he doesnt gain sanity from killing them if he uses the codex
and the whole 75% damage makes fighting them with normal weapons as tedious as wendy but half as tanky
basically pick yr poison
either way, he's rlly difficult to do a ruins rush in the mod with
so thats why i stick to boss killing instead :D
i should mention that the codex attack also drains sanity so u dont just not gain any sanity by killing shadows with it, u lose sanity
and u cant use the codex's attack if u dont have the sanity necessary for it
because modded max has more depth than vanilla
and goes full in with maxwell's whole gimmick as the character that teaches you sanity is a meter to be manipulated to your advantage, instead of feared like the plague
thats something most other characters fail to teach since they treat the sanity meter as the end times
cough wickerbottom cough
its a fun playstyle that rewards you for good sanity management :D
if i wanna turn my brain off tho id use unmodded max
hes just way easier overall and outside of fights, straight up better
its honestly a rlly well made mod
im kind of doubtful maxwell's rework will top it
my only gripe with it is that the shadow fighters are far too powerful
i think a good way to balance this out would be to just cap maxwell's maxinum amount of active shadows to 6
he can keep his ability to have 15, its just that 9 of them would be stored
able to be called upon if the situation calls for it as long as max makes room for em by imprisoning the active ones
but like, he needs to be blatantly op if he wants to match the standards the reworked characters have made when they got superpowered soooo
ยฏ_(ใ)_/ยฏ
yea webber is one of the few that remained at relatively the same power level as he was beforehand
mainly with qol changes
- Decorated dens are an AOE thing instead of "spiders from this den are specifically docile"
another character that was like that was wigfrid
Which makes them kinda useless unless you put them in a wall
she remained relatively unchanged which i am thankful for
ig the main purpose is to stop the tier 3 dens from transforming into queens??
- Can't make webbed flooring. Wickerbottom can do this and it pisses me off that she can and Webber can't lmao
since i dont think the point of the reworks is to make an entirely new character that the characters' former mains would likely leave
IKR
- Can't make the home things for other spider buddies. Like no cave spider housing or anything
wicker has better control over webbing and fire than webber and willow and its
tragic
like the fire one at least makes sense to her character
and while i do very much appreciate wicker having access to magical utility that can be used in combat
God if Wicker's webbed flooring lasted forever that'd be fucking broken with Webber
webber should have had a similar ability too
Webbed flooring + cobblestone + walking cane + Webber speed on web bonus thing
yea the web book is
from what ive seen
underutilized by players
because it does have potential to be quite helpful in fights
people tend to write it off tho
probably because its one of wicker's more niche, doesn't solve literally every problem in the game at once books
and unfortunately doesnt remove core aspects of difficulty from the game ๐
like weather and availability of light
and hunger
heck, and crafting stations, temperature, etc.
Average Wicker fan: NOO!! THE BOOKS ARE SUPPOSED TO MAKE GAME PSIS EASY!!!
Webber Mains: The world is against us but we stand with our allies.
Still pissed that catcoons hate Webber
make it so if max went insane with wicker books he'd spawn two shadows instead of one
i get that they wanted to incentivize maxwell not using the books as much as wicker by giving him extra sanity loss but like
idk if they just forgot maxwell's playstyle but
he normally has
Imagine a playstyle that encouraged being insane lmao
40 sanity at best
I ated the sanity
because he uses shadow puppets-
and its like
wow he loses 125 sanity from the book
not sure whats going to happen to the 85 sanity that doesnt imapct him at all
because with 4 puppets he's got a max of 40
having him summon extra shadows would at least incentivize maxwell to be more careful and not spam the books
since regardless of your skill, 75 hp and 2 terrorbeaks can pose a threat if summoned at an inopportune time
terror beaks in general I dont be fuckin with
i never rlly think about it
I only avoid insanity like the plague cuz I don't feel like fuckin with shadows, busy with other shit typically
small webber mod be like-
i think wurt by default also has a smaller character model
its cute
Yes
Wilson: Can you stop being insane.. for FIVE SECONDS!?
Webber: Haha we have severe trauma and so our max sanity is only 100.
poor bebber ๐
i am thankful that his low max sanity prepared me for maxwell tho
yknow its funny how
one of wolfgang's main "downsides" is him losing sanity 10% faster
like its listed in his character selection
whereas willow has lower max sanity, and loses 10% faster as well
and webber has the lowest max sanity so regardless hes going insane first
yet neither of them have insanity listed in their character selection as their main downside
wolfgang would be another example of a character that teaches players to fear insanity instead of manipulating it
because the game treats his extra sanity loss as his one major flaw
Yes
Bro when the bunnymen turned into the beardlings I almost shat myself cuz like easily 7+ of'em were chasing my ass down in the caves ๐ญ
the bunnymen have no reason to be so
unsettling
theyre even worse in singleplayer because they start using the werepig model and start breathing down your neck and its like
nty
Webber: Ah! Giant bunnies! Turns around.
Beardlings: rar
Webber: AHHHH
evil creatures ๐
Bro my ass was NOT having it
the bane of wigfrids and webbers everywhere
I started to starve too so I crawled out hte cave and hauled ass back to base to stuff my face with food lmfao
and wurts
wortox can just tp so i wont count him
theyre not even like good to kill anymore
they used to always drop 2 carrots and a good chance for a meat
now its barely scraps
not even worth killin em with the amount of trouble they give
instead of nerfing their drops to the ground i think klei shouldve just prevented them from being able to attack each other
omg i just remembered once trying to make a carrot farm as webber with bunnymen
i dont have the screenshot anymore but i basically just surrounded a bunny village with 10-20 eggs
Yes
God I need to do that
Bro I joined someone's world and they had this mod on that was like a vacuum chest that automatically picked up drops from nearby
sadly it wont rlly be too effective anymore due to them only dropping a carrot like
1/4 of the time
oh wow
i should probably make a chest area for out base
it is a m e s s
I need that and then I'd put a bunch of dens near the frog ponds
yee
poor webber cant automate meat farms with spiders
ig u could make a queen farm where u put 1-2 spider eggs and surround it with bunny hutches
but they'd kill the nurses
oh wait that reminds me
bee farm
for nurses
YES
God
Gotta love nurses
One of my favourite genders [SPIDERS]
I wish I could command nurses to just heal and not try to attack or aggro bosses
Imagine 10+ nurses healing me 
it would be nice if like
spider warriors and crawling depths had a taunt mechanic
where theyd do their little scream and itd force enemies to target them over other mobs
Tamed spiders kiting when?
wigfrid's aggro song does that, and so do many forge abilities, so dst has dabbled in forced aggro before
itd make them good at defending the nurses
....from stuff that doesnt do aoe of course
like moose goose :D
Webber, with his army of spiders: And nothing can go wrong!
Deerclops: ๐๏ธ
Webber: Oh no it all went wrong!!
xd
maybe a solution would be having tamed spiders take the same damage as players
instead of double damage they get as mobs
that way deerclops wouldnt one shot the normal ones if they were tamed
i mean itd be pointless since theyd get insta frozen
but the warriors would last quite a bit ๐ค
Thatd be badass
its something thatd also be helpful for abigail
not for the duelists tho, if they had 76 hp then yes
but with only 75 the only boss theyd be able to survive a hit from is bee queen
even small treeguards would obliterate them
its funny to think that every treeguard type drops the same amount of living logs
i kinda wish the drops scaled with size
like 3 for small, 6 for medium, 9 for large
mostly because whenever i kill large treeguards it feels unsatisfying since i get the same reward as the small treeguard that does like 30 damage
and because i only chop trees when theyre medium/full so i typically only get those treeguards โจ
There might be a mod for it
aww bebber
Okay tbf both are ugly looking to me
Tho the one on the left makes it look more like hair than the one on the right
WAITOMFG HE'S BALD
HE'S BALD
yee
i say the new one is a huge improvement
in both clothing and head skin
i mean his chin lumps are gone in the new one and that alone is an improvement
hes got fangs too
I like how a lot of the moonbound skins are like kinda ugly (on purpose) and then Webber's is just
"I'm blue now"
waxwell turned purple and wicker decided green was the new way to go
i do gotta say this is one of his more well made skins
(max)well made
but im still more likely to use roseate over it
i mean verdant-
still, it has some of the most interesting lore implications by far
Explain
Sorry for late response i got this serer on mute lmao
oh np i just mean stuff like
the skin has a lot of interesting details
like maxwell even accepting the moon's power in the first place
the fact that he needs to like
h ture
wear some sort of
tunic with ropes to keep his shadow magic in check?
how hes one of the only human characters who fully changes
theres a lot of cool things about the skin
while most other skins are just him with a neat outfit
Diabolic mfers
it is neat to know that max is innately magical
i mean we kinda already knew this based on wortox's quotes and how maxwell can just sense magical energies
What that moon/moon pussy does to a mfer
Still can't believe I thought he had gray hair bro ๐
i mean in your defense
he does have white hair in his merrymaker and victorian skins :D
All I saw was his portrait art and in dst they dull the colours on all the characters
truuu
i can see it on his default portrait
and hes magical im sure he can have whatever hair color he wants
EEEEE
LE GASP
yeee
YEEE
goes great with the glass cannon and golden fleeces
glass cannon especially if u have fervor demons and divine guardian at the start
I wish there was a way to fuckin uh
Change the form/cosmetic shit of your followerers
Like after you indocternate them
Yes god
ikr
cant even change their fleece
i was expecting them to match the colors of the one u wore
oooooOO
Bro idk if this is intentional or not but like
Every time one of my followers generate devotion the whole fucking statue fills up
Kinda fucking busted for early game
Like just defeated leshy, only day 7
And I have like a lot of tier 2 shit
Day 7 (boutta be day 8) and I got everything in tier 1 except for body pit and everything in tier 2 except for demonic summoning circle
Lmao
I love the "Dont use curse" shit cuz I rarely ever use curses unless I'm using the glass canon fleece
theyre basically 80% of my damage output
in this run i fought the purple witness that rlly likes goign invulnerable and summoning things
but i ended up killing it in under 3 seconds with 3 homing curses
before it could even go invulnerable
mood tbh
I should draw Webber as tbh creature
๐๐
:(
D:
ok why is Kallamar so powerful
oh they fixed moonbound webber's eye flicker
Oh thank god
Shit drove me insane
so Im drawing Doppio for my dnd campaign and Im debating if I should give him typical attire or spice it up
Cuz I could give him the croptop sweater he wore in his backstory
hmmmM
His lips look fucked but that's cuz I dont normally draw lips dat way and I do it specifically for helping with shading
oooooo
ree almost beat kallamar without taking damage-
but got hit once during the last quarter of the fight
aw cute
what crimes does he commit
is he ok :0
Mayhaps
6_9
๐
if it doesnt have eyes is it still seeinh guilt
also
kallamar's theme is actually rlly good
i didnt realize all the bosses/mini-bosses had their own themes
OH SHIT HALLOWEEN ART????
U DONT HAVE TO
U CAN JUST SCROLL AROUND AND LOOK FOR AN IMAGE THATS A BIG GLOWY GIFT AND CLICK ON IT
but u can also draw :D
FURRY
bruh i got the same oNE
on the plus side its a set with 4 parts instead of 3
so i get more spools out of it ๐
i mean, depends on rarity and all that but still

I really lov this meme

To sum it up: It's about a knight who's coming to save a princess. The princess is crying for help. At the end of the story it's shown that the princess set up all the traps and monsters, and when the knight reaches the door to the princess's room she turns into a dragon and kills him.

Me to pigs
pigs D:
ohhh
Got me fucked up ๐
Also the clothes are diff cuz this design is for DnD
I quite literally asked some friends "What are the gayest clothes you can think of" and this is the result
I brought up Diavolo to the friend and she's like "A leather harness" and I was like "GUH??" and she had to grab photo reference ๐
Just like a main bit of the convo lmao
Yak is an anonymous chat thing where you can chat with people 5 miles around you
Me when its 2 am
yk fair enough tho
nice coloring
what do u do for it
i never learned how to color so i am uncultured :D
It's peak narancia hours
Naranc-ah
that better be some amazing lymonade
Top 10 moments before disaster
yea true
axolotl ๐๏ธ
theyre R E W O R K I N G HIM
he has
new abilities?
very interesting stuff-
im gonna have to play on the beta branch
after i finish my 6 quizzes midterm essay essay question and-
Fuck your essay
Maxwell appearing out of the toilet to offer me to go to the constant
do u accept
Yes
:D
oh man there are so many tricks i wanna pull off with the shadow cage
like caging the fuelweaver after he cages me
or canceling klaus' jump with it
or separating queen bee from her grumble bees
or preventing dfly from summoning lavae

i could even cage f r o g
cage a tentacle
100%
aight so all i need to kill dfly is a 5% ice staff 2 dark swords my codex umbra 3 nightmare fuel and 9 cooked cactus flesh
tf
the 2 dark swords can be replaced with a ham bat but then id probably need like 1-2 more fuel and 4-5 more cactus
also, greencaps work in the place of cactus
magician's box examinations
"Could we borrow it for hide and seek?" -Webber
"You can't use a magic box for hide and seek. That's cheating." -Wendy
"If you're worried about getting stuck inside, don't rummage through my things." -Waxwell
also antlion can be killed with 20 shadow duelists
but is antlion really worth the 4 fuel that would take
4 of that
fu e l
Misread magician's as mexican's and was so confused
Maxwell wont feel guilt for Webber beinf sealed away forever
Me when webber and you when maxwell
whaT IS THIS
DnD session I did I fucked 4 people
wow
2 buff men, tavernkeep (so I got to sleep there for free), and an old man
Im not even a bard I'm a barbarian ๐
bardarian
Oh lord
duelist damage now scales with the shadow gear u use
+10 to hit and 15 to dash when u use a dark sword
+10 +15 for magician's top hat
and +20 +30 for night armor
the duelist's base damage was nerfed to 20/30 to make up for this but theyre still incredibly powerful
with an entire set they do 60 damage per hit and 90 on a dash
@velvet sleet its out
But its Maxwell content
ikr
Get Don't Starve Together on Steam: https://klei.gg/PlayDST The former Nightmare King suddenly finds himself facing his past... and a choice about his future. Everyone take your seats, the Amazing Maxwell's next act is about to begin.
Full details on the Maxwell Refresh: klei.gg/DSTCurrentUpdate
Foll...
really cool story implications aside-
none of the paid characters make an appearaence
since wortox and wanda have never appeared outside of their own shorts im almost led to believe they are only somewhat canon-
oh weird
webber isnt on the board either
omg i love how the wicker chess piece mirrors maxwell's xD
both holding an open book
No webber?????
not on the chess board ๐ค
also interesting how charlie's voice is static
i always assumed it was a harp
especially after the play update
Yes
:0
bruhh i was hosting a server for a friend and some nice people i met
this wolfgang joins
and for 20 days straight all they do whenever something inconveniences them is blame me
like i help them with a hound wave and theyre like "if you never showed up on us this wouldnt have been such a shitshow"
like bich i made you life giving amulets
i killed dfly and klaus for u
oh and then they complained about me putting the amulets i got from klaus in my shadow box
when the entire purpose of that was by using my shadow box i could send the lga's to them from across the world
because i gave them the ability to access my box from base xd
Whats in it?
THEY FINALLY CHANGED THE MENU MUSIC?
Well this is my first time playing
I died twice from darkness and keep choosing spider
Because spider
Oh I also jumped into a wormhole I found
Oo you're playing Webber?
yes
i would show screenshots of the third world which was the most interesting but i forgor how to show screenshots
ah there we go
I accidentally ran into a boss somehow (i think it was a boss)
before that i ran away from a pig village
i also set fire to a normal tree
which started a fire
and the fire kept me alive until the second day when i died from the pigs
second world i found a stage and performed
and apparently
the bushes didnt like my performance
i got attacked by a bird in the first world
also can i just say that almost everything is racist to monsters and runs away from me
How get gold?
yea that's the downside of webber
lotsa racism
you get gold by mining certain rocks
These ones
You can also trade with the pig king, which surprisingly Webber and I think Wortox can do but Wurt can't
That guys not a boss just a big dude
Their charge attack can hit objects and other enemies so leading them into trees or thinks you want dead can be useful
robot is my favorite character now
i had a feeling this game was made my KLEI
same ppl who made oxygen not included
they have a very similar artstyle
I FOUND DOPPIO MOD
My mental illness is winning.
uncompromising mode ๐ ๐ ๐ ๐
No ๐
love that mod
dst needs more content mods tbh
still surprised terraria is the only game i know of with a lot of big content mods. i don't count minecraft cause 99% of the content mods for it nowadays are just tech mods
don't starve together: just uncompromising mode which is kinda inaccessible since it adds more difficulty to an already pretty hard game, then the one that adds the don't starve dlc content called like "island adventures" or something.
the binding of isaac: fiend folio which doesn't even add new floors, unlocks, or final bosses, and revelations which still hasn't fully ported to repentance.
minecraft: the betweenlands which is stuck on 1.12.2 forever and is starting to die there, and the twilight forest which no offense to the devs but most of the bosses themselves in it aren't particularly well designed.
Isnt there the one mod with the jttw characters in dst? It adds a bunch of new areas and several bosses
Minecraft's big focus mods tend to be ones that offer new gameplay mechanics (tech and automation, typically but magic mods used to be rather popular), many mods focus on specific things rather than being more general though, in part due to minecraft's sort of pick and choose modpack culture and in part bc it's just less load on the developer
oh yeah i forgot dst is full of character mods, many of which being poorly balanced. personally don't count those either since to me a content mod is something that feels like an actual expansion to most areas of the game, or at the very least something with content you don't have to go out of your way to experience
No I'm thinking of a specific content mod that happens to have characters
Journey to the west, I think it might just be son wukong that's from that in the mod actually
okay, dunno what journey to the west is but i don't really care enough to find out
Found the mod
It's based on general Chinese myths and not just journey to the west my bad
Also the dst mod that added a whole new underwater world space?
And for minecraft, the aether?
i know smaller mods that add content to make the existing experience more fun (quark, galosphere, infernal expansion, those kinds of things) are really nice to have but i want more things that actually properly extend the progression of the game or at least add their own progression that can be started at any time like twilight forest does
Also part of the "you dont have to to out of your way to experience" part is because dst is much less linear than terraria is, and therefore most things you have to go out of your way to experience
alright i didn't know about these mods, i'll try them out at some point
Terraria is often an action game first and sandbox second, while minecraft and dst are sandboxes first
by that i mostly just meant something that i can still experience part of in singleplayer while playing wigfrid
Why wigfrid
i'm a wigfrid main
Oh wait I thought u said without playing wigfrid
okay
As for minecraft, it's a bit loose as far as progression goes tbh, the end as a whole is kinda optional
for minecraft i'm usually fine without big content mods honestly, a full playthrough of just the vanilla progression is pretty long
A bigger focus in minecraft is on machine mods tbh, things that do things
I dont quite mean tech mods by that to note (though many tech mods add machines, I consider technology to be more of a theme than the substance of a mod if that makes sense, and machines are the mechanic itself)
Goodness heavens I was gone for like a bit
me collapsing after carrying the weight of being a fucking dumbass
so me and a friend started a new playthrough kinda recently
and yesterday we went to go fight fuel weaver after a lot of preparing
we got to the portal where you summon him
and realized that i forgot my nightmare amulet
so we rolled back a day and then went back to the portal
and he forgot the key to activate it
rolled back again and went to the portal, he forgot the fossil fragments and shadow atrium
rolled back again and finally started fighting the thing, aaaand i should have packed way more battle helmets because i went through all of them really fast
At least you fought the fuel weaver lmao
Never fought the thing in my life
Then again I just don't really like DST's combat
Idk it always feels repetitive of "hit x amount of times then run"
And normally that wouldn't be the problem if it wasn't for the fact that's like DST's biggest focus
yeah it's not the best at all
i got used to it tbh
helps that wigfrid incentivizes facetanking part of the time
also a lot of the fight actually isn't directly hitting the boss
since he often spawns in hands you have to go insane to destroy otherwise he takes no damage
and he also often spawns little woven shadows that he can eat to regain 1,000 health
The problem is I play Webber
you can use webber to shred crab king
Excellent
yeah trying to use webber's upside against fuelweaver is kind of a lost cause
although i guess there are a lot of dangling depths dwellers in the atrium
you could befriend them i suppose and get them all into the arena before you start the fight
you'd still have to break the little hands he spawns though, and probably also kill the woven shadows
The mainly problem with Webber's whole "We collect spiders" thing is that a lot of bosses have an anti spider/follower mechanic
Like queen bee, deerclops, and klaus all yell and it causes any followers focused on the boss to scramble
It's very annoying.
i didn't know bosses did that
mainly cause the only follower i've ever had is abigail and she must be immune to that
Abigail is immune I think and so are the merm warriors
alright
also a few hours ago i killed fuelweaver for the first time in singleplayer
first attempt i kept forgetting to use weather pains, second attempt i realized i needed more efficient sanity food than just cooked cactus flesh, third attempt i realized i needed an extra lazy explorer, fourth attempt i beat him
Excellent
Learned how to kite deerclops 
Also on this world with Stevenington I have a fully tamed rider beefalo lovingly named Pepega :)

Update I discovered more of the underground and I hate it
the ruins is up top and the labyrinth with the ancient guardian is a bit below that
I also found werepig
I intend on killing the ancient guardian with my friend
Don't starve and cult of the lamb are having a crossover
This causes me absolute internal joy
I already got Webber
I've been plottin
