1:55 Update: you can no longer build walls on those red units, but that's not a problem. Vargs can only move through gaps of 2 or more units, while the player can move trough gaps of 1, so you can work around it.
@@TheCnicus nah, you can drop statues where those walls would have been, then after you get all the vargs you put the vargs to sleep, break the statues and build stone walls around it (gonna take more walls but it can be done)
@@GreedyGabriel At first i had an issue with hounds getting through my wall of statues and thought it was the placement of my telelocator, so i moved it 1 tile closer yet still had the issue. It turns out they were getting through because i had two glass spikes next to each other on the wall closest to the varg, i guess they have a smaller collision box than normal statues? So i switched the two glass spikes out for regular statues and it solved the problem, works like a charm! Now i just need to hunt two more vargs.
So organized, so well done, I like it all! I've seen a lot of moon rock farming, but this is the best I've seen so far! The technical explanation at the end: 10/10. Thank you Gabriel for the video. I'm sure I'll put the vargs on my world to a better use from now on! ;) Just fantastic... BRILLIANT! Thank you!
You forgot to mention that 3 Moon Rocks can be used for crafting the Cratered Moonrock, which can be socketed with gems to make Moonlens of 6 different colours. Moonlens are permanent markers that appear on everyone's map, even if you have yet to explore the area yet. This can be used for: 1) Guiding newcomers of your 1000+ days world to the direction of your base 2) Throwing (the Moonlens) into Wormholes to know where on the map this wormhole leads 3) Marking connected Wormholes with a pair of Moon Lens of same colors 4) Differentiating between the different Sink Hole entrances 5) Indicating useful set pieces (it's several times brighter than Trap, Backpack or Sign for sure), such as the Mushroom circle and Big Tentacle that leads to the Atrium 6) Making your base prettier These are the only examples I can come up with right now. I would say Moon Rocks are more than just decorative materials, and definitely not as useless as Nitre, but I do hope that we can craft more useful things with it. (A headlamp made/fuelled with Moon Lens would be super cool!)
You are the man Gabriel Gabriel! I used your design to make a varg farm base on the lunar isle for so much gems/teeth/sanity/meat that I no longer need to do anything else but stand around for all of eternity! But really, the whole thing is so overpowered it can't be anything but fun. One at the moonstone like you put here makes it so I never need to stay one character for more than five minutes if I want. If I die, easy amulets. Hearts instead? Who needs a booster shot when you can just respawn for one moonstone and one purple gem, full hp! Thank you for your hard work. Too bad there is a parasitic beard running around oompa loompaing everything to bits.
yeah he made one-too many dick moves, here's the full story if you wanna see it www.reddit.com/r/dontstarve/comments/bh6hhe/thebeard777_stole_my_designs_heres_what_he_wont/
@@GreedyGabriel Yeah, I don't watch Beard because I find the way he talks unbearable, but I only knew about the artist exploitation drama. Purge him from the internet with holy fire, Anonymous! Do not show mercy.
So great job done. I don't know English enough well, but I understood everything, watching the video. Thanks, I really love content like this. I wish u to buy mike and get much more subscribers, than u have now ♥ P.S. if u don't want to use mike, it is ok, I enjoy ur videos anyway.
When I checked your channel after reading your reddit post, feeling you were going through something quite unfair, I didn't expect that kind of content. Extremely detailed guides with accurate explainations on every aspects, very far from the classical "here is my design" videos. Also the designs themself are just really smart... I definitely sub for the quality of your content, not as a support (even if I am).
Yes you can! BTW it's a good idea to have an inner cage of statues (doesn't have to be tight, varg hotboxes are pretty big) and an outer box of stone walls (fully enclosed). This way the varg's cannot escape even if the stone walls get broken somehow
Can you do a video on farming nightmare fuel sword and armor with the sculpture statues You can put 2 sets os catapults in the side and make lot in the middle and spam rooks. This will make that when you run in the middle at sircles it will target and shoot them EZ
@@GreedyGabriel do you ever tried that? I found it on a video that they cheese it but i used the video and beard's video of catapults vs every overworld boss for the idea.
that is super cool, the effort you put into this is amazing. Would it be possible to capture more vargs in 3 more pens centered around the moon stone? making it 12 vargs in total?
It is, i actually did that for a test about a week ago haha. The only problem is that the ammount of hounds screws with your FPS badly, and you don't really need 5 stacks of moon rocks every 20 days. Still, you can use as many as you want.
@@homelessjackie LOL that would take forever though, I easier to turn PVP on and kill a friend repeatedly (then reviving him with taletale hearts cuz they are cheap)
Kinda, but the tentacles die to fire very quickly. You can turn it into a 2 in 1 moon Rock and gem Farm by fitting catapults inside. I have a tutorial on that in my channel as well.
@@GreedyGabriel I saw it too was amazing! :D But I can't build them in my world since im the granny so was trying to get it to work somehow. Its a little too random with the tentacles spawning whereever but il give it a try
Hey Gabriel, I was just asking, could'nt you have just done the varg pen by doing what you said, but is it ok to knock down the corners? From what I remember, they can't go through them, so 4 stone walls don't need to be made. -Yours Truly, A Minimalist.
I've been able to make this but trying to use it to farm gems with Winona's catapults ain't working lol. Really don't wanna have to find 3 more vargs just for that
Yeah it is a shame. Speaking of gem farms, the new DST update (as of rn it is just in beta) allows for an interesting update to the previous varg farm design
Lure plants do a video towards that as a guide Gabriel Gabriel combination with wickerbottems applied horticulture books with 5 by 5 tiles using pitch fork.
actually i used 4 for this one haha. Well after day 100 you have a 16.5% of getting one from a hunt, so i'd say you can find them all as a pass-time during winter.
1:55 Update: you can no longer build walls on those red units, but that's not a problem. Vargs can only move through gaps of 2 or more units, while the player can move trough gaps of 1, so you can work around it.
How do you work around that? Just build a 10x5 or 10x6 cage instead?

great video i will def try this farm i love dem moonwalls but always found them too expensive

Is building the wall at the tip of the triangle still possible? Tried it and I couldn't seem to get it.
unfortunately not, sorry. I should pin a comment to update it.

Thanks!
how about more than 3 vargs?
you can use as many as you want, but if you have too many units you will start lagging badly.
Could I as wickerbottom do a gem farm out of this setup? Maybe if I used On Tentacles 🤔
