I just use thermal stones the whole way through to be honest. Just the fact that, if at any point you have to equip armor or a light, then all the time spent wearing anything else was wasted as your character rapidly cools down to the thermal stone's level anyway. The time you get from that is shorter, at least shorter than if you used a thermal stone to warm up and then equipped gear. But the upside to that is you don't have to actually warm up by the fire, just leave a thermal stone there and come back for it, and that'll warm you. I tend to make two and "hot-swap" when I get back and before I leave for somewhere.

So I just wanted to say I love survival games & I’ve played quite a few of them over the years. Some were decent when it came to difficulty. Others were so cruel to beginners it hurt the fun. Others were rough but fair. However for whatever reason DS was one of the very few that I tried to play a few different times and I just couldn’t understand it. I mean I got the basics but there was just so much you had to do and their was little room for error that I just never was able to get into the mid game to really enjoy it. I made the season change once , maybe twice but was completely unprepared and died. I tried videos and walkthroughs but it was never clear enough. I decided to give it one last shot & thats when I found this playlist. Your videos were not just through, they were very direct and easy to understand. I’m shocked these were your first videos Way to go.

OH HEY - I just had an idea about thermal stones! If I've understood everything you said correctly, then they should be really useful to prevent cooling due to wetness, in spring but especially in Shipwrecked. Because you're not going to be wearing insulation (maybe a raincoat) and the ambient temperature is not actually that low, it's the wetness factor that chills you, so the stone itself should stay warm for longer. Any thoughts on that? I admit that freezing isn't the highest risk of wandering around soaked to the skin, but it can happen, and lighting fires esp. in SW weather can be really difficult. Ideally of course you just shouldn't be getting that wet but you know what this game is like!

I'm confused, am I misunderstanding?

Either way once again a great video and I appreciate your effort/content!

@salendrak

7 ай бұрын

Not quite the same. The idea of Rule 1 is that if you are warm, you can pick up a super freezing cold thermal stone, and it won't cause you to cool down. Intuitively it would seem like picking up a cold stone would be bad, but it isn't. The idea behind Rule 2 though is that if you have less than 120 insulation, then your character's rate of temperature change with a thermal stone will be based on the thermal stones internal rate of temperature change, which isn't affected by your insulation. But if you have at least 120 insulation, then your rate of temperature change will be slower than the thermal stones, so even though it will cool down faster than you, your rate of change won't be affected by the thermal stone. So yeah - the 2 rules are sort of saying the same thing, but there are some slight nuances. ps - I have no idea if the QoL update from earlier this year changed any of that!

The trick of the 2 thermal stones is not a bug. When you stand near a fire pit, you heat yourself with a thermal stone, you heat yourself faster because the stone warms faster than you and then, by having the thermal stone in your pocket, you will heat faster. The 2 thermal stones in backpack trick is like a little paradox. When you heat, the thermal stone will make you warm faster and it will warm the other stone, which will heat the first stone, heating the second ect...and every time you will be also heated.

Not sure if the 2 stones trick works, but that would be easy to test! Just heat two up, put them in a backpack, and keep standing next to a blazing fire. If you start to overheat - it works!!

Speaking as a new person to the game, by far the most difficult part of this has been keeping a steady supply of grass during the winter, especially if I haven't been able to scout out any beefalo during the autumn. Any advice for keeping up with the insanely high demand for grass (and to a lesser extent, twigs) during the winter, or does it just come down to toughing it out and hoping for the best?

@salendrak

Жыл бұрын

Are you able to get the whole outline of the world mapped out by about day 10 or so? If you do that, you should know the location of a savannah and a few grasslands that should have plenty of grass, and the grasslands and forests usually have plenty of twigs. As you get more experienced in the game you'll start to realize that most of the time problems arise when you didn't do things efficiently in the prior 10 days or so. Put differently, if you're running out of grass and twigs in Winter, chances are you didn't stockpile enough in fall. Regardless, if you do run low during winter, usually the best bet is to take a day or two and go out to where you can get more to last the rest of the season. Keep at it and with time and experience, you'll get more efficient at stuff like that!

My overall available time to work on making videos and even play computer games in general is pretty limited, and I think for now I should probably focus on getting a good critical mass of core content before branching off into too many directions. Keeping up on even two games is proving to be quite the challenge already! But I'll keep an eye on your channel, and down the road if it looks like we would be a good fit for a collaboration I'll definitely keep the idea in mind!

How'd you even figure out all that thermal stone math stuff anyhow? I always assumed it just functioned like a portable firepit you can't cook on.

Lots of reading on the wiki and reddit, and lots personal testing in a world set to endless winter! But I rarely take anything the wiki says at face value (it's known to have lots of errors) so specific stuff like this I like to test out to make sure that, as much as possible, whatever I say is pretty accurate.

@@salendrak do you know if the same rules about thermal stones not working with high insulation during summer? Like would it be harmless to carry around that max heat stone during summer?

@salendrak

3 жыл бұрын

@@Nilon241 I haven't researched warming rate / thermal stones in summer yet, but I don't think they work exactly the same (or rather, opposite) to how they do in Winter. That said, I did just test it a little bit, and here's what I found: A cold thermal stone plus max insulation (eyebrella and floral shirt in this case) causes you to warm up a little bit slower than just the insulation. In contrast, if you pick up a heated thermal stone, you'll warm up just as fast as if you weren't holding a thermal stone at all. So my preliminary conclusion is that a thermals stone in winter will only help you - it won't cause you to warm up any faster. I haven't tested it at all with other levels of insulation though. But yes - it would seem that carrying a heater thermals stone won't hurt you in the summer.

How many of each piece of clothing do you recommend to last me through the winter? Will 2 beefalo hats suffice?

@salendrak

2 жыл бұрын

Beefalo hat will last for 10 days of non-stop use, and since winter is 15 days, you'll need more than one _unless_ you repair it with a sewing kit. You can also get by just fine with a thermal stone if you're close to base, but for longer trips, the Beefalo Hat is the way to go.

Hi I want to ask you something . I was playing in the winter then I heard deerclops so I did what you said put the sign and everything I even had 20 big jerky meat but then nothing happened I ran to my base thinking he was there he wasnt then after 2 or 3 days I saw him I started attacking him I wasnt used to his attack so I tanked him with a helmet and log suit I died because I didnt have another helmet so when it broke . I died fast .but I had another life. I went to the same place and he isnt there . Is he wondering around in my world or is he gone ? Secound i have alot of food but I dont have the fridge because I cant find gears Is there another way to get gears not by killing the bishop and rook because my luck is bad Sorry for the paragraph 😅😅 and thank you❤❤

@salendrak

If you're playing in Reign of Giants, you can rarely get gears from tumbleweeds. Otherwise digging up graves is your next best bet, but it's only like a 3% chance to get gears. Really though you should just go take out some clockworks. If you're not good at fighting them yourself, hire some pigs to help you out! As for deerclops, the wiki says it can despawn if it's been able to destroy enough structures without getting attacked. Or something like that. Otherwise it sticks around until the seasons change or something.
