The loop
Don't Starve Together is Klei's co-op survival game. Hunger, sanity, and seasons will kill you more than monsters if you do not set up a camp before the first winter.
Explore, gather, build a base, survive seasons, then optionally fight bosses when the team has armor and a plan.
First moves
- 1.Pick a beginner-friendly character (Wilson, Willow, or Wolfgang) before Wes.
- 2.Find a biome mix: food, twigs, flint, and a place that is not a swamp.
- 3.Crock pot and farms beat berries forever. Learn a few recipes.
- 4.Make a torch and a fire before night. The darkness is not a joke.
