I honestly have no idea how a newbie is expected to remember all this information, while being able to effectively continue farming, exploring, and building. It's overwhelming.
A bit late but as a newbie and someone who learns a crap ton about games like these when I hyperfixate on them. You’re not expected to remember all this information. Take in the information that is most beneficial to you. If you’ve been struggling at fighting beefaloo, remember how many hits it takes to kite them. If you’ve been struggling with sanity, learn how to take on shadow monsters. If you realize you’ve been playing too scared of pigs, take them on. Whatever, it’s a beginner’s guide. Something you can come back to and learn new things or resolve your struggles.
I hear ya. I try to focus on one season at a time and with each attempt, try to get through the next one. Pretty soon you're good at getting through fall, then winter and so on.
As he said at the start the game is best experienced blind figuring things out by yourself. Players eventually learn which things take priority like hunger and light, then making a base, preparing for next season, etc. etc. It's all trial and error, that's why each failed playthrough is a funny memory (at least, it is for me!)
1. Write notes about specific things you want to try. I limit myself to one sticky note at a time. 2. Only watch one season's worth of video at a time, the season you're about to be playing. (lmao why would anyone try to retain all this at once? You should have learned by now no human is capable of that; stop expecting it of yourself haha)
These comments make a lot of sense. But there's a reason newbies stand around the campfire all night - there's too much to think about. People need a moment to consider, and shuffle their inventory. The beginner guide here actually shows off a fight with KLAUS. KLAUS! Like. What?! I don't think there's a single beginner on Earth that can micro manage swapping between weapon and movement stick. And while getting familiar with insanity is, undoubtedly, a good thing. Many beginners won't want to deal with it, or can't. I think the Beginner guide was just a little bit iffy on a few topics.
It's actually funny, because first time my and my friends encountered a Deerclops it was basic Deerclops and he wiped our asses. Yesterday we were playing and encountered laser eye one and just bullyed him in like 30 seconds. So, I can say that this guide and the next one is really good
The one server mod I would highly highly recommend for new players is something called "show me". It will help you learn the game so much easier and faster. This mod displays information about everything as you mouse over it. Mouse over food in your inventory and you can see the stats it will change. Mouse over a pig house and it will tell you how long until another pig spawns. Mouse over a tree and it will tell you how many days left in the season. Mouse over an enemy and you can see their attack damage, as well as current and max HP. This mod does make the game a good bit easier, however I think it's worth it at the start to help you learn faster. Turn it off once you're comfortable.
That sounds really useful, especially since I tried to install a mod that shows you enemy health bars just yesterday and for some reason it wouldn't show up in my mods list, hopefully this mod will be a little less wonky
This guide is literally invaluable, a gospel even. One thing I still can't wrap my head around is how fast you map out a huge portion of your world. It always feels so sluggish when I do it
bro.. same!!! I can't ever find rocks either, and on day 6 is when I actually find a good place with lots of rocks, but by that time my sanity is screwed
If you search the area around spawn you'll a mosaic biome, it always generates near spawn, you can identify it by the weird patchy turf gradients. This biome will always have boulders and gold 👍
"Avoid fighting because it's a quick way to die" Fights multiple beefalo, clockwork creatures, the koalaphant, MacTusk _twice,_ every spider rather than just trapping them, recommends being insane for all those shadow creature fights, _then_ Klaus... before the video is half over. Seriously though, he seems to like the fighting alot, but there's _alot_ of good tips and info in this video, you can tell how good he is with this game. Very awesome.
This is legit the best beginners guide I’ve encountered and I CANNOT thank you enough. I’ve literally watched it once and played it in the background about 4 times on top of that for 1) good background noise bc your voice is kinda perfect. Not boring not jolting and entertaining. Plus accent so bonus points. 2) I have never survived beyond day 22 (1 time w another player, day 16ish alone) and since starting to watch this one video made it to 26-28. So I play it to absorb more lol. Thank you friend!!

SO GOOD! i've been playing casually for years and have always felt like a noob, i just didn't know the intricate details behind some of the strategies or where to even start. This was legit the best condensed 'how to' guide for DST -- I even took notes lol -- keep up the great work!!
My one piece of advice is something I am surprised you didn't mention with Antlion is killing them isn't mandatory to avoid their wrath. If you need a bit more time to get ready, or want to avoid fighting them entirely, you can actually feed them foods they enjoy, and trinkets and such, and that can actually buy you time or allow you to avoid their wrath the entire summer. For those who want more time, don't have confidence, or just trying to do a pacifist challenge of some kind. *EDIT* just noticed your character tips video, nevermind.
1:46:23 You can also use the tree guard strategy against Deerclops, it's a little bit harder because he doesn't destroy trees as easily but it's a very passive way to kill him if you suck at fighting
Probably one of the best beginner tip that he did not touched up on is yourself spawn two(or three) tree guards not very far from your base and pacify then by planting pines, then lure him to then. You can make this easily by only choping the dead trees, this way one flint axe usualy is enought to spaw 1 tree guard at winther. Two medium tree guards usually let him with less that 400 hp and some times even kill him, even two small tree guards can cost him more that 70% of his hp.
It's great to see people making new guides! Even if this stuff has been covered numerous times, it's nice to have a more up-to-date guide for newcomers to watch :] and it covers a lot! Excited for the next tier 👀
Thanks for making this beginner video and showing how to kite properly! So many people are too scared of clopsy but you show how easy she is! Great job on showing them to use her for farming logs too! I usually plant more trees so she cuts down lots of trees and spawns tree guards to kill her, especially against winter feast clops who has lasers. Also a farming tip for those interested - Easy to remember for farming giant crops in winter; a one to one ratio of potato to tomato in a tile. Each tile can hold maximum 9 crops before overcrowding, we only want 8 crops in each tile for this. Plant four tomatoes and four potato in a single tile. These two plants compliment each others fertilizing needs, planting four of each in a single tile ensures the family bonus so all you have to worry about is watering every day and talking to them! when your giant crops are ready pick them and hammer them for all your food and seeds! Enjoy!
This is incorrect, this combo does not work in winter as tomatoes do not like winter so they grow slower meaning they won't supply nutrition to potatoes This combo only works in autumn and spring
I'm currently following this guide to heart, and it's very overwhelming, but fascinating at the same time, I'm already getting better at not camping at campfires at night, figuring out what biome I'm on, and what things to grab and leave behind, obviously I'm nowhere near intermediate yet, not even in winter yet but just goes to show how good ur explanation is! Thank you very much for this guide
one thing to remember is taking care not to go into the sandstorm if hounds havent attacked in a while, having to kill a wave of them with a ton of sand in your eyes can wear you down really fast, if the goal is to survive being careful with their timing is really good to keep in mind.
Just a warning for newbies, especially those who just can't seem to get a handle on kiting: Klaus is very much not a beginner boss. It is a raid boss on par with Bee Queen, and is very difficult to beat. Only a madlad like Jakey should try doing this in his very first winter; I would recommend actual beginners wait until they have a Star Caller's Staff and multiple Dark Swords. Otherwise, this is a seriously incredible guide and something I wish I had when I started. I love it, and I think that with the sudden influx of Terraria players looking at DST because of the crossover, this guide will be invaluable to many new players!
I do agree that Klaus is not very beginner friendly, but he is by far the easiest RAID boss, and is the first a beginner should attempt, but I do see where you are coming from as if you do not prepare correctly your kinda screwed EDIT: if you can't grasp kiting as well, your dead as tanking klaus is a death wish
I can't wait for this series! I've (finally) learned how to survive a year but I don't know what to do beyond that. I could definitely use the intermediate guide!
Awesome set of guides! I've played DST with my friends like 2 years ago (before all of the reworks). We did it all wrong, and we were SO afraid of bosses. We returned to the game recently, turns out one of us was playing from time to time and still haven't learned anything, but after watching your guides our gameplay will never be the same. Thank you so much!
My first Deerclops fight was a little different because of the christmas event thingy so he also shot a laser at me that dealt a lot of damage so I eventually had to kite him, it was pretty simple but those damn shadow creatures screwed me a couple of times. Oh and I was playing Maxwell as well (on my first playthrough!)
uhh, this guide is SO cool, ive been failing to follow along with the bee stuff and the pig house building so far, and ive died alot, but the guide itself is so fun to watch i dont even mind failing EDIT: succeeded, and now i am on ur intermidiate guide and already succesfully did a ruins rush and killed dfly EDIT: SUCCESFULLY DID THE INTERMIDIETE GUIDE, TIME TO DO THE EXPERT GUIDE EDIT: got addicted to forge, and im back now final EDIT: did the expert guide lmao

I've played for years (but not consistently) and felt I was an low-intermediate level player but what he has in this beginner video is way out of my league! I suck so bad at this game I have no idea why I love it so much.
I've played the orignal DS for 200 hrs and am over 200 hrs in DST. This video is so jam packed with information and good tips that I am learning a TON. Thank you!
as a player who comes from minecraft (where i've never even gone to the nether or the end because i was too scared), DST was so overwhelming with the bosses & items & time-sensitive seasons, etc. this guide was so helpful since it was _actually_ aimed at beginners & not telling me to kill the ancient guardian by day 10. thank you :)
This was so helpful! I just got in to don't starve recently and it was very confusing and complicated. I kept dying but this guide helped me and now I have gotten much better!
I went from running away from Chester because I thought he was an enemy to building a good base, making myself good combat items and prepared for winter in under 11 days. Maybe I got lucky because everything is located in good areas and because I use Wendy efficiently, but still proud of myself.
Very well made guide. Ove been really enjoying "Just starve" and have only been relying on the wiki when i find something i dont know. This is the first proper guide I've seen and its actually really well composed and presented
I have no intention of playing this game (I'd die too easily) however, I have been watching this playthrough over and over because I keep falling asleep and don't want to miss anything! Thank you for a great video!
I honestly feel like this would've been a better intermediate guide rather than a beginner's guide. It's a lot to take in all for a beginner. Loved all the detailed tips and tricks though!
Me seeing the video length: "2 hours? That's crazy!" Also me, with 600+ hours in the game and having a deep understanding of everything discussed in the video: "Hmm yes, the video is over now"
I love a lot of the info in this video! I love the emphasis on exploration and it teaches some really interesting tools throughout the seasons. I think my big gripe is that it rely’s on gimmicks like despawning the hound attacks by going into the caves, which is something we can’t do anymore.
Don't know what some of yall are on about, me and a friend picked the fame up and this guide has been so helpful, literally all of this is infact newbie info, there isn’t a single thing in this me and my friend haven't used as noobs to get better at the game, some of yall are just having massive skill issues, yeah its a lot of info but you can just watch it again if need me or write the most important stuff down like me and my friend did.
not a beginner at all, been playing dst for years but this is still SO helpful and made me realise I should try and work on other things (not being scared of fighting, getting items, etc) ty for this
Thank you so much for this guide! I spent so long wondering what I wasn't getting that was causing me to be so bad at the game. Even small things like learning how to farm, how to cook, how to kite, have made such a difference. I've been spending the last two weeks playing world after world, getting a little better each time. My first time making it to Day 30, I got killed by Deerclops, but the second time was yesterday and I managed to handle it without any issues! It was such a rush to have finally accomplished what seemed like such an impossible task that I went to Klei's shop and bought a Chester plushie. I decided to keep the run going and made it to Day 62, where I died to Antlion. I never thought I'd ever make it through winter, so all in all I call it a success. :) Will definitely be going through your other guides in the future as I keep getting better. Thanks for your great videos!
could you maybe upload that base design somewhere as a blueprint or something so we see exact distances from each building etc (basically an image that i can just look up whenever i need to)
I don't see how you're able to get through so much of the early game without building chests.. with chester + a backpack it still feels like i Have so much stuff that I NEED to build a chest
i just started playing this game, and this guide helps so much, I’m not very good, but still managed to make it my first 20 days before dying, and I had a nice little base set up almost exactly like yours. Love this stuff, thank you so much!
@@frankgrimes7388 actually I started setting up my base differently now, i didn’t like how far I had to go to do things at night, so I changed the design so that the chests were around the shadow manipulator and Alchemy engine, and the number of crockpots/food sections are different I usually play exceptionally difficult sandbox games by figuring out what better players do, then figuring out ways to make it more to my liking
@@frankgrimes7388 seems like you only want to comment negativity and ironically thinking within your own box as opposed to understanding that when people know how to survive, they can then learn other methods and figure out their own way of doing things.
This guide was amazing, I sadly only learned a few things, but one of them was that I'm not a beginner! Looking forward to the Intermediate guide, also, great editting, near the end of the video you start stuttering and stuff but I can only imagine it's just cause you sat down for a LONG time and just... talked XD lol. Good job.
"So after I momentarily turned into an owl..." most underrated sentence ever 😂 thanks so much man! I've been playing this game for a few months now and I STILL can't make it past spring, I never knew you could tank bosses like that, I just never really made armor.
Another little tip for beginners: if your having trouble with food you can base in a desert, either dragonfly or oasis will do, because you can get a lot of cactus flesh which is good
discard actually helped me even though I'm playing single player. I've been able to kill like five or six tall birds with Kyteing, and using a lock suit and a spear yes, the first time I don't know how many heads to do, but I figured out it's two before you, Kyte here's some advice before you go fighting go on a like those roads, and then fight you have a speed bonus. This will help you dodge enemies attacks.
Thanks so much for this! I have like, 1000 hours on Don't Starve + Don't Starve Together combined. But like.... I haven't played in years and they update so much so I have no idea how to play anymore. This is helping me get back into it! I know the basics ofc but there's PLENTY I didn't know about how to be most efficient, including tons of little things.
bro for real tho, if you ever find it in you to remake these in the future, pleas. PLEASE consider calling it smth like "Jakey's Ultimate [Beginner/Intermediate/Expert] Survival Guide!" It's literally all I could think of when I read "Ultimate Survival Guide- it fits so well and I straight up couldn't stop reading it to the tune they use when saying it in the show XD (This is about the show 'Ned's De-Classified School Survival Guide' that was an exceptionally popular kids show growing up in America at least, I'm not sure where else it did or didn't get seen or get popular. For anyone curious, It was honestlly-to-goodness, a pretty solid show and the kid that played Ned did a parody/sequel guide when he got older for adulting which is on youtube I'm pretty sure)
i stopped playing DST because i was frustrated from dying so much, this video made me really excited to have a strategy to stay alive. you make it look so easy! I died before winter..... 6 times. I remember why i had to step away
For the people who are wondering how to kite like him, you might be suffering from delay when turning off lag compensation, in that case download don't starve alone mod it should solve that issue for solo worlds

hey. starting to play dst with a friend now and this guide helps to refresh my 56h exp from 2 years ago. Tbh i dont want to spoiler too much but you deserve a sub and a like. I cant even imagine the work you have to put into a video like this.
I saw how long this video was and I was prepared for long winded over-explanations. But no! Everything is so concise there is just SO MUCH INFO ☠️☠️ Up till now I’ve always just restarted my game if my health and/ or sanity gets too low 😂 thank you for the guide
This game has so much going on. This must take months, if not years, to comfortably take all of this information and make a decent run out of it. Overwhelming to the completely new to the game that has no idea even what the parts are that are required to craft certain items. But still looks a lot of fun
Thank you so much for this. I used to struggle just getting to deerclops without dying of hunger. Now I'm in day 46 after killing moose goose with over a stack of perogi and I fear them spoiling
so one thing I like to do in the first few days(exploring phase) is get a bunch of berries while worse than carrots youre probably grabbing a few just for food supplies anyway but then you can do the werepig thing, give them 4 monster meant and drop a full stack of berries on the floor essentially you're getting 40 poop very early for relatively free, its nice for setting up that grass stack its probably not as important as it used to be when farms used manure to make but like, that seems to fill most of the needs of it
36:54 I have a problem: in the twig farm and grass farm, they are equal to each other in how grass/saplings are placed. But when I tried doing a similar thing, the twigs have a larger area they are planted in. I'm new to the game so please help! Edit: I figured it out! You just have to turn your screen around a few times to find the proper placement!
Jake my guy, don't know where you came from but i love the content seriously, the pre Rework Wolf rush was very nice. I'm looking forward to that advanced guide would love to see what you feel is advanced. Keep up the great work and you deserve all the views.
Very useful guide, I am a seasoned ROG and SW solo player on switch, and if Dst on that same console ends up playable, this will help me take into account all the different and new stuff. I would probably get into a few more fights. Destroying pig houses is very viable here because you can avoid summer in the caves or leave a space for a flingomatic. In DS leaving a space for a flingomatic is not easy, so I usually dont bother. I otherwise stick pretty closely to what you do outside of DST content, though I usually don't have bee boxes but instead 10 drying racks by the onset of winter.
I just wanna share that I went fishing for desert goggles and got both recipes immediately. Didn’t get a single fish. 2 casts and I was on my way. There goes all my luck for the next year.
I'm an intermediate-advanced player with awful fighting skills. I initially watched this guide for the deerclops clip but then I started it over because it was so good! I amd really looking forward to your next videos!
a good tip if your running a public server is to take, leave, take. it means leave more resources for new players who join later like twigs and grass, take 1 resource, leave 1 resource, take 1 resource
Thank you so much for this guide, thanks to it i have finally survived an entire year in the game, i might give a try to Wanda now since she's really interesting to me :)
im 26min into the video and ive got some things to say already: plz make such a guide for beginners more about basic mechanics instead of overexplaining. maybe i missed sth or there was just 2 much information for me to remember but i fe still dont know anything about sanity other than it draining during later hours and that theres later a hat that can increase your sanity. but i really apreciate the effort put into this video :)
Changes:
- Forgot to mention caves are disabled by default, so you must enable them.
- Entering caves to cancel hound waves no longer works since March 2022 QOL Update.

This is legit the best beginners guide I’ve encountered and I CANNOT thank you enough. I’ve literally watched it once and played it in the background about 4 times on top of that for 1) good background noise bc your voice is kinda perfect. Not boring not jolting and entertaining. Plus accent so bonus points. 2) I have never survived beyond day 22 (1 time w another player, day 16ish alone) and since starting to watch this one video made it to 26-28. So I play it to absorb more lol. Thank you friend!!

Thank you
This is a pretty good guide, but the second I see you pick up gears, chester and butter in the first nine minutes, I'm like: STREAMERS LUCK.
SO GOOD! i've been playing casually for years and have always felt like a noob, i just didn't know the intricate details behind some of the strategies or where to even start. This was legit the best condensed 'how to' guide for DST -- I even took notes lol -- keep up the great work!!
my mistake is not sitting down with pen and paper
My one piece of advice is something I am surprised you didn't mention with Antlion is killing them isn't mandatory to avoid their wrath. If you need a bit more time to get ready, or want to avoid fighting them entirely, you can actually feed them foods they enjoy, and trinkets and such, and that can actually buy you time or allow you to avoid their wrath the entire summer. For those who want more time, don't have confidence, or just trying to do a pacifist challenge of some kind.
*EDIT* just noticed your character tips video, nevermind.
Thank u so much
i was actually stressing out about having to face antlion but this has put me at ease.
@@fireballfilms glad to know I helped!

You can also use the tree guard strategy against Deerclops, it's a little bit harder because he doesn't destroy trees as easily but it's a very passive way to kill him if you suck at fighting
Probably one of the best beginner tip that he did not touched up on is yourself spawn two(or three) tree guards not very far from your base and pacify then by planting pines, then lure him to then.
You can make this easily by only choping the dead trees, this way one flint axe usualy is enought to spaw 1 tree guard at winther.
Two medium tree guards usually let him with less that 400 hp and some times even kill him, even two small tree guards can cost him more that 70% of his hp.

I literally wathed the whole episode in one go, and even didn't notice how the time has passed...
Thank you for a such amazing guide! :)
It's great to see people making new guides! Even if this stuff has been covered numerous times, it's nice to have a more up-to-date guide for newcomers to watch :] and it covers a lot!
Excited for the next tier 👀
Thanks for making this beginner video and showing how to kite properly! So many people are too scared of clopsy but you show how easy she is! Great job on showing them to use her for farming logs too! I usually plant more trees so she cuts down lots of trees and spawns tree guards to kill her, especially against winter feast clops who has lasers.
Also a farming tip for those interested - Easy to remember for farming giant crops in winter; a one to one ratio of potato to tomato in a tile. Each tile can hold maximum 9 crops before overcrowding, we only want 8 crops in each tile for this. Plant four tomatoes and four potato in a single tile. These two plants compliment each others fertilizing needs, planting four of each in a single tile ensures the family bonus so all you have to worry about is watering every day and talking to them! when your giant crops are ready pick them and hammer them for all your food and seeds! Enjoy!
people arent really afraid of her, their just afraid of the sanity drain
Isn't clops a Guy
@@cactusgamingyt9960 yeah
@@calabaresa really? where was that mentioned?
This is incorrect, this combo does not work in winter as tomatoes do not like winter so they grow slower meaning they won't supply nutrition to potatoes
This combo only works in autumn and spring
I'm currently following this guide to heart, and it's very overwhelming, but fascinating at the same time, I'm already getting better at not camping at campfires at night, figuring out what biome I'm on, and what things to grab and leave behind, obviously I'm nowhere near intermediate yet, not even in winter yet but just goes to show how good ur explanation is! Thank you very much for this guide
one thing to remember is taking care not to go into the sandstorm if hounds havent attacked in a while, having to kill a wave of them with a ton of sand in your eyes can wear you down really fast, if the goal is to survive being careful with their timing is really good to keep in mind.
my favourite mod, and one that i can't live without is one that just adds classical music, it just gives the game such a great feel!
What's the name of it?
Same I need the mod name
Just a warning for newbies, especially those who just can't seem to get a handle on kiting: Klaus is very much not a beginner boss. It is a raid boss on par with Bee Queen, and is very difficult to beat. Only a madlad like Jakey should try doing this in his very first winter; I would recommend actual beginners wait until they have a Star Caller's Staff and multiple Dark Swords. Otherwise, this is a seriously incredible guide and something I wish I had when I started. I love it, and I think that with the sudden influx of Terraria players looking at DST because of the crossover, this guide will be invaluable to many new players!
I do agree that Klaus is not very beginner friendly, but he is by far the easiest RAID boss, and is the first a beginner should attempt, but I do see where you are coming from as if you do not prepare correctly your kinda screwed
EDIT: if you can't grasp kiting as well, your dead as tanking klaus is a death wish
Me just trying to figure out how get a base established and survive a year on relaxed, "THERE ARE BOSSES?!"
I can't wait for this series! I've (finally) learned how to survive a year but I don't know what to do beyond that. I could definitely use the intermediate guide!
Awesome set of guides!
I've played DST with my friends like 2 years ago (before all of the reworks). We did it all wrong, and we were SO afraid of bosses. We returned to the game recently, turns out one of us was playing from time to time and still haven't learned anything, but after watching your guides our gameplay will never be the same. Thank you so much!
My first Deerclops fight was a little different because of the christmas event thingy so he also shot a laser at me that dealt a lot of damage so I eventually had to kite him, it was pretty simple but those damn shadow creatures screwed me a couple of times. Oh and I was playing Maxwell as well (on my first playthrough!)
Relatable lol
the worst thing in feastclops is that he destroys campfires so you can't tank him and this is why I almost died on my world
You survived your first feast deerclop using maxwell? Congrats! Maxwell's health is so low that I dont even bother do use him lol

this guide is so in depth and comprehensive 😩 as a beginner who is sick of dying thank youuuu
literally playing the game while listening to this. Accidently just right clicked on my science machine with a touch in my hand...
Nooo
The timing of this guide is impecable considering DST just went on sale on steam, gonna get into it for real!!
Your accent and entire vibe is so friggen wholesome.
I've played for years (but not consistently) and felt I was an low-intermediate level player but what he has in this beginner video is way out of my league! I suck so bad at this game I have no idea why I love it so much.
I've played the orignal DS for 200 hrs and am over 200 hrs in DST. This video is so jam packed with information and good tips that I am learning a TON. Thank you!
I really needed this when I first started playing.
as a player who comes from minecraft (where i've never even gone to the nether or the end because i was too scared), DST was so overwhelming with the bosses & items & time-sensitive seasons, etc. this guide was so helpful since it was _actually_ aimed at beginners & not telling me to kill the ancient guardian by day 10. thank you :)
This was so helpful! I just got in to don't starve recently and it was very confusing and complicated. I kept dying but this guide helped me and now I have gotten much better!
I went from running away from Chester because I thought he was an enemy to building a good base, making myself good combat items and prepared for winter in under 11 days.
Maybe I got lucky because everything is located in good areas and because I use Wendy efficiently, but still proud of myself.
That's pretty good. Better than me. I can barely sustain my sanity usually.
Very well made guide. Ove been really enjoying "Just starve" and have only been relying on the wiki when i find something i dont know. This is the first proper guide I've seen and its actually really well composed and presented
I’m not a beginner, but I feel like after watching this video I am 😂 I learned so much from watching this, thanks for sharing!
Autumn and winter are my most favorite seasons. They provide me with the ideal means to mine wood and webs
I have no intention of playing this game (I'd die too easily) however, I have been watching this playthrough over and over because I keep falling asleep and don't want to miss anything! Thank you for a great video!
Play it with some friends, you'll have a blast!
I love the energy through this video, but I couldn't help but laugh every time you hear him crack up a bit from his own enthusiasm
I honestly feel like this would've been a better intermediate guide rather than a beginner's guide. It's a lot to take in all for a beginner. Loved all the detailed tips and tricks though!
Me seeing the video length: "2 hours? That's crazy!"
Also me, with 600+ hours in the game and having a deep understanding of everything discussed in the video: "Hmm yes, the video is over now"
What
I love a lot of the info in this video!
I love the emphasis on exploration and it teaches some really interesting tools throughout the seasons.
I think my big gripe is that it rely’s on gimmicks like despawning the hound attacks by going into the caves, which is something we can’t do anymore.
This is the best guide! Thank you so much for taking the time to make this. I struggled soooo hard until I followed this guide. Almost through spring!
Glad it helped!
my current world is 500ish days but i just cant resist watching this over and over, so entertaining
Don't know what some of yall are on about, me and a friend picked the fame up and this guide has been so helpful, literally all of this is infact newbie info, there isn’t a single thing in this me and my friend haven't used as noobs to get better at the game, some of yall are just having massive skill issues, yeah its a lot of info but you can just watch it again if need me or write the most important stuff down like me and my friend did.
kills klaus in a beginners video and then proceeds to tank deerclops instead of kiting lol amazing video still though
not a beginner at all, been playing dst for years but this is still SO helpful and made me realise I should try and work on other things (not being scared of fighting, getting items, etc) ty for this
Easy tutorial for begginers, step 1: spawn next to gears
Oops
Thank you so much for this guide! I spent so long wondering what I wasn't getting that was causing me to be so bad at the game. Even small things like learning how to farm, how to cook, how to kite, have made such a difference.
I've been spending the last two weeks playing world after world, getting a little better each time. My first time making it to Day 30, I got killed by Deerclops, but the second time was yesterday and I managed to handle it without any issues! It was such a rush to have finally accomplished what seemed like such an impossible task that I went to Klei's shop and bought a Chester plushie. I decided to keep the run going and made it to Day 62, where I died to Antlion. I never thought I'd ever make it through winter, so all in all I call it a success. :)
Will definitely be going through your other guides in the future as I keep getting better. Thanks for your great videos!
Glad you liked it!
From the length of the video i thought it would be IRL survival but maybe this is useful too
could you maybe upload that base design somewhere as a blueprint or something so we see exact distances from each building etc (basically an image that i can just look up whenever i need to)
Didn't play Don't Starve for almost 4 years and I forgot a lot. This was a good refresher.
if you think this guide is for beginners. you forgot what a beginner is a long time ago
Why i was a total noob and this has helped me a lot
I don't see how you're able to get through so much of the early game without building chests.. with chester + a backpack it still feels like i Have so much stuff that I NEED to build a chest
Did dont starve together have a crossover with terraria?
i just started playing this game, and this guide helps so much, I’m not very good, but still managed to make it my first 20 days before dying, and I had a nice little base set up almost exactly like yours.
Love this stuff, thank you so much!
@@frankgrimes7388 actually I started setting up my base differently now, i didn’t like how far I had to go to do things at night, so I changed the design so that the chests were around the shadow manipulator and Alchemy engine, and the number of crockpots/food sections are different
I usually play exceptionally difficult sandbox games by figuring out what better players do, then figuring out ways to make it more to my liking
@@frankgrimes7388 seems like you only want to comment negativity and ironically thinking within your own box as opposed to understanding that when people know how to survive, they can then learn other methods and figure out their own way of doing things.
This guide was amazing, I sadly only learned a few things, but one of them was that I'm not a beginner! Looking forward to the Intermediate guide, also, great editting, near the end of the video you start stuttering and stuff but I can only imagine it's just cause you sat down for a LONG time and just... talked XD lol. Good job.
"So after I momentarily turned into an owl..." most underrated sentence ever 😂 thanks so much man! I've been playing this game for a few months now and I STILL can't make it past spring, I never knew you could tank bosses like that, I just never really made armor.
Another little tip for beginners: if your having trouble with food you can base in a desert, either dragonfly or oasis will do, because you can get a lot of cactus flesh which is good
you are the best dont starve creatore. keep up the good content
discard actually helped me even though I'm playing single player. I've been able to kill like five or six tall birds with Kyteing, and using a lock suit and a spear yes, the first time I don't know how many heads to do, but I figured out it's two before you, Kyte here's some advice before you go fighting go on a like those roads, and then fight you have a speed bonus. This will help you dodge enemies attacks.
Thanks so much for this! I have like, 1000 hours on Don't Starve + Don't Starve Together combined. But like.... I haven't played in years and they update so much so I have no idea how to play anymore. This is helping me get back into it! I know the basics ofc but there's PLENTY I didn't know about how to be most efficient, including tons of little things.
bro for real tho, if you ever find it in you to remake these in the future, pleas. PLEASE consider calling it smth like "Jakey's Ultimate [Beginner/Intermediate/Expert] Survival Guide!" It's literally all I could think of when I read "Ultimate Survival Guide- it fits so well and I straight up couldn't stop reading it to the tune they use when saying it in the show XD (This is about the show 'Ned's De-Classified School Survival Guide' that was an exceptionally popular kids show growing up in America at least, I'm not sure where else it did or didn't get seen or get popular. For anyone curious, It was honestlly-to-goodness, a pretty solid show and the kid that played Ned did a parody/sequel guide when he got older for adulting which is on youtube I'm pretty sure)
i stopped playing DST because i was frustrated from dying so much, this video made me really excited to have a strategy to stay alive. you make it look so easy! I died before winter..... 6 times. I remember why i had to step away
You got this!
For the people who are wondering how to kite like him, you might be suffering from delay when turning off lag compensation, in that case download don't starve alone mod it should solve that issue for solo worlds
I really just sat here and watched for 1 and a half hours because this guy was so energetic and entertaining
meu amigo billy começou a jogar ontem, ele morria para escuridão, morria para o básico morria para si mesmo, agora ele sabe matar até outros players facilmente, sendo o primeiro e único brasileiro a conseguir tal façanha, chegamos ao dia 99 graças a você obrigado!
even after 430 hours of game time, I never thought to feed a beefalo cut grass and lead it away from the herd, I always just relied on opportunity and a bit of hope lol.
will definitely be utilizing this strategy in future carnage endeavors.
hey. starting to play dst with a friend now and this guide helps to refresh my 56h exp from 2 years ago. Tbh i dont want to spoiler too much but you deserve a sub and a like. I cant even imagine the work you have to put into a video like this.
A tip that he didn’t mention, if you put your thermal stone by lava in the dragonfly desert, it will go to 80 or something ridiculous. W video Jake
This game is so good, there are so many things to discover and explore, im playing for like over an year and dont know yet all the things
I saw how long this video was and I was prepared for long winded over-explanations. But no! Everything is so concise there is just SO MUCH INFO ☠️☠️
Up till now I’ve always just restarted my game if my health and/ or sanity gets too low 😂 thank you for the guide
Glad you enjoyed it!
I’ve already played a lot of DST but there’s still plenty for non beginners to learn! Can’t wait for the intermediate guide.
21:52 - that is a sculpture piece in the middle of the swamp? good thing this was your beginner guide haha
This game has so much going on. This must take months, if not years, to comfortably take all of this information and make a decent run out of it. Overwhelming to the completely new to the game that has no idea even what the parts are that are required to craft certain items. But still looks a lot of fun
Thank you so much for this. I used to struggle just getting to deerclops without dying of hunger. Now I'm in day 46 after killing moose goose with over a stack of perogi and I fear them spoiling
so one thing I like to do in the first few days(exploring phase) is get a bunch of berries
while worse than carrots youre probably grabbing a few just for food supplies anyway
but then you can do the werepig thing, give them 4 monster meant and drop a full stack of berries on the floor
essentially you're getting 40 poop very early for relatively free, its nice for setting up that grass stack
its probably not as important as it used to be when farms used manure to make but like, that seems to fill most of the needs of it
36:54
I have a problem: in the twig farm and grass farm, they are equal to each other in how grass/saplings are placed. But when I tried doing a similar thing, the twigs have a larger area they are planted in. I'm new to the game so please help!
Edit: I figured it out! You just have to turn your screen around a few times to find the proper placement!
This is a really good guide. It’s really well explained for both newbies to the game and to gaming in general. And it’s entertaining!
If this is the beginner guide only, I am not prepared for the next ones. What a Legend 🔥
Jake my guy, don't know where you came from but i love the content seriously, the pre Rework Wolf rush was very nice. I'm looking forward to that advanced guide would love to see what you feel is advanced. Keep up the great work and you deserve all the views.
Very useful guide, I am a seasoned ROG and SW solo player on switch, and if Dst on that same console ends up playable, this will help me take into account all the different and new stuff. I would probably get into a few more fights. Destroying pig houses is very viable here because you can avoid summer in the caves or leave a space for a flingomatic. In DS leaving a space for a flingomatic is not easy, so I usually dont bother. I otherwise stick pretty closely to what you do outside of DST content, though I usually don't have bee boxes but instead 10 drying racks by the onset of winter.
I just wanna share that I went fishing for desert goggles and got both recipes immediately. Didn’t get a single fish. 2 casts and I was on my way. There goes all my luck for the next year.
I'm an intermediate-advanced player with awful fighting skills. I initially watched this guide for the deerclops clip but then I started it over because it was so good! I amd really looking forward to your next videos!
i always die in winter and when i HAVE touch stone i just lose motivation and delete the world
Get Good
SAME
Hearing somone talk anything but bad about armor in your body area is a first
I have 410 hours in dst and still learned so much thanks for the amazing video
a good tip if your running a public server is to take, leave, take. it means leave more resources for new players who join later like twigs and grass, take 1 resource, leave 1 resource, take 1 resource
I don't play or want to play this game but it does seem interesting, and I love watching guides, so I'm watching this lol
You should try its fun
Thank you so much for this guide, thanks to it i have finally survived an entire year in the game, i might give a try to Wanda now since she's really interesting to me :)
I've been playing since 2015 and I actually got some very useful tips out of this video thanks
Beginners Guide: How to kill Klaus
im 26min into the video and ive got some things to say already: plz make such a guide for beginners more about basic mechanics instead of overexplaining. maybe i missed sth or there was just 2 much information for me to remember but i fe still dont know anything about sanity other than it draining during later hours and that theres later a hat that can increase your sanity.
but i really apreciate the effort put into this video :)
