Yes! This is my OC, Walker! And yeah a bit of a self insert, but I had a lot of fun making her and trying to imitate the Don’t Starve Art Style

Walker
The Depressed Researcher

Birthday: March 22

Quote: “How curious…”

Bio: Despite her constantly sad mood and gloom eyes, Lena Walker always had a curious mind of her own. You know what they say, curiosity killed the cat.

Odds of survival: Grim

Perks and Quirks -
Depressed - If not distracted with constant chores, her sanity will decay rapidly (-10 sanity per min). Negative aura effects are 10% more effective. Rain makes her feel sad (wetness affects her sanity much more negatively)

Curious mind - If the player inspects an item, she gains a 2/min sanity boost for 10 minutes, this can stack up to 5 times (Max 20 sanity per min). This whoever gets canceled after receiving damage

Sleepy - Sleep effects will have a longer duration. Sleep sacks or sleep tents won’t have any additional effects

Researcher - After crafting a new item she’ll receive 30% more sanity boost. Also, she can create blueprints (using 2 papyrus and 1 feather pencil) of each crafting recipes learned to share with other survivors. Using the Deconstruction Staff will no longer consume sanity and the deconstructed item automatically will give Walker the recipe for it. All this does not include crafting recipes from the Ancient Pseudoscience Station, unique survivor items (Example: Wendy’s potions, Wickerbottom’s books…), but it does apply to Winona’s constructions and gadgets, Rose Colored Glasses won’t be able to be crafted or learned

Enters The Constant with:
2 Papyrus
1 Feather Pencil

Backstory:
After someone blew up her college’s science lab, she had to step down from her original career and be a researcher, which made her lost a year in college. After getting out, a long friend of hers got her a job as a lab assistant and researcher for Robert Wagstaff. Taking advantage of her knowledge and a pair of hands, he allowed Walker to work in his portal and have a part on the creation of WX-78. Soon after losing WX-78 and decaying into depression, Wagstaff gave Walker access to the same projector he uses to be inside The Constant, allowing her to be once again with her former partner.

Additional info:
I already said this in a previous post, but Walker misgenders WX-78 because she can’t accept they are gone and much happier without her. This does not means I think WX-78 have male pronouns or that this is disrespectful towards non-binary people, absolutely not. I acknowledge WX-78 is a non-binary character…
Also, check out my previous post (here) to have a bit of more info about the character and to not be redundant about her

EDIT-
Yes I just realized what I did to Wilson’s hair… I can’t edit the post to add the correct image LOL SORRY WILSON

Hey everyone,

I’ve been meaning to try Don’t Starve Together for a while now. I’ve played a few survival games before, but DST has always looked like the kind of game that would be way more fun with someone else rather than playing completely solo.

The whole idea of starting with basically nothing, figuring out what everything does, trying not to starve, and then slowly getting a proper base going sounds really fun to me. I’ve also heard that the game can get pretty chaotic once you start playing with friends, which is honestly part of the appeal.

I was looking at the game recently and noticed that when someone buys it, Steam includes an extra copy that can be gifted. So I figured I’d ask here in case someone has that spare copy sitting in their inventory and doesn't have anyone to give it to.

If anyone has an extra copy they're not planning on using, I’d be really happy to take it off their hands and finally give DST a proper try. I wouldn't want anyone to go out of their way to buy another copy specifically for me — just thought I’d ask in case somebody already has the extra one.

I’d definitely put it to use rather than letting it sit there. :)

Thanks for reading!

I bought it for shits and giggles just to have it only to then find out that it runs pretty well on my old tablet, which by the way can barely handle a notes app, bar none a full game. They optimized the hell out of it, although I did have to reduce the textures down to 50% for my device to run smoothly. And again, I wasn't even expecting it to run in the first place. The only thing that annoys me about the game is that with a large screen it's pretty difficult to manage inventory, but that's really such an edge case thing.

Now there's a bit of tedium as with all games that are as indepth as Don't Starve Together ported over but they've genuinely done a good job improvising the interface in such a way that you can do everything you can do on PC. Some things like the Miner Hat are more viable here since the interface changes how you interact with the game a lot, and I was surprised picking stuff like Wortox to see that he has a little teleportation UI circle element that moves with your view.

Also, you seem to have two sets of skin drops, one on PC, one on mobile, so that's nice. I feel like they'll eventually get crossplay going on PC and mobile since you actually aren't that disadvantaged playing on a phone in combat, if at all.

Since there's not much online discussing this, I'll add something I found out: Farming doesn't work as it works on PC, I found it easier to till, plant, talk then repeat rather than till the entire area, plant everything, and then talk. Also, drying racks are already seen way more favorably by the community at large nowadays but on the mobile version they're even more essential as it is, since interacting with crock pots is pretty clunky.

i know i’m insane for still playing single player with no dlc (i have all three but i still enjoy vanilla a lot) but i have no idea how to make my base look anything other than functional. i’m not too good with decorating even with the increased item variety in the dlcs so it’s even more apparent in vanilla where the only decorative plants i can think of are bushes and flowers. i like having cobblestones for the speed and also because they look nice

this picture is from a world i haven’t played in a while where i somehow neglected to put any kind of greenery in but even with plants all my bases look about as drab as this

I feel like I'm missing something but every mega base I've seen (mostly on youtube) seems to have all the functional stations built far apart from each other. I just can't imagine using a base where you have to walk to a different biome to use your crock pots or craft something. I feel most of them are purely decorative with everything turned off.

I have a compact base (~2.5 flingos) and I rarely have to go anywhere far to do anything. I'm interested in building mega bases, but I value function and really dislike inefficiency. Do I build one just to build one and continue to use my compact base? It's keeping me stuck from starting :(

The comic came out so soon because I worked really hard on it. Well, the next installment will feature a unique cover and be split into two parts-I’m sure you’ll love it. Take a closer look at the board in my afterword.

I can see wurt, but after that is just the three musketeers of official characters who seem like oc's

My Self Insert / oc :o]

A puppeteer whose body failed them . Was in constant chronic pain to the point they were unable to perform or make the puppets they so adored. So during a particularly painful evening after a canceled show, they rest their head on their desk surrounded by unfinished puppets, wood chippings, and . Listening to the radio. Then boom!!! Constant time

They want to be a puppet Desperately. And they Are one. I have a lot of feelings about them.

Their mask gives a big sanity boost and also keeps them a bit warmer :o]

they can make puppets of other survivors that have lil buffs to them (think a webber puppet made of 3 silk + rope + beard hair that can lure spiders toward it!)

when they perform a puppet show it brings a sanity boost to themself and the other survivors :o]

Can also mimic animal sounds and voices.

With their mask on they have the loud voice of a Calliope, though without it they go more toward a hushed / soft voice.

The Anatomical would be for the hallowed nights costumes... because I saw WX-78's and wanted to match them..!!

They would go by Mg. And not Mx. Absolutely doesnt like being addressed as titles at all. Makes them feel a little funny. Doesnt really think they should be respected in any way, but can quickly flip to thinking theyre The Best Ever . Sorta insecure without the mask? Painfully vulnerable. Overthinker and paranoid. They're much happier with it on.

Fond of every survivor. Including Maxwell. Especially fond of WX-78, Wickerbottom, and Webber.

Still hurts a lot, though. Low health for this reason. And takes extra damage from enemies. High hunger though. doesnt eat often / doesnt like eating. Makes them aware of their organs, which makes them a bit nauseous.

Is in a weird not quite relationship with WX-78 !! Does their bidding and is constantly around them. Feels most comfortable with them. WX views them as useful to have around. Enjoys having a weird meaty doll as a servant.

Speaking of meat !! WX is veryyy. Mean. About their body being meaty and human. Understands they aren't meant to be human and promises (of course. Not outright.) to get them out of there. At the same time is repulsed by the fact they're a doll. When they could've been better. Will insult them for not acting the way they want. Saying that certain things are "human mistakes" or pointing toward their fleshy body to insult ? Which just makes Winsom feel extra dysphoric but also like. This fucked up feeling of "I Should Be Grateful.. they know what I Really am and they let me be this close with them to Understand..." YOU KNOW???

Im crazy. Wuagh.

I was thinking, and wallace, Waverly and wilton fit perfectly don't starve elsewhere 💔💔

I might use some of this in comics, or maybe not-they're just doodles.

With shadow affinity and void cowl , shadow reaper is bone armor or void robe better?
