I don't know a single thing about don't starve other than it exists. But what I do know is that I must kill that cyclops deer thing.

Greetings Terrarians - and welcome to The Constant!

As we revealed just a few short weeks ago, we have been hard at work in secret with our good friends at Klei Entertainment in order to bring the fans of both Terraria and Don't Starve Together a brand new free content update that faithfully pulls part of each game into the other. How will all of this work? What precisely do we have in store for our side of the crossover? Venture forth, brave Terrarians and learn more about what awaits you as The Constant collides with the world of Terraria!

A WORD OF INTRODUCTION ABOUT TERRARIA x DON'T STARVE TOGETHER

Long, long ago (ok it was about six months ago), the Terraria development team held an AMA on Reddit in celebration of Terraria's 10th Anniversary. During that AMA, one curious person posed a simple question to the team, which was answered directly by Cenx...

Well, it just so happens that our good friends at Klei Entertainment took the time to read that very AMA thread - and that got them to thinking that maybe there was something to this idea. Emails and pleasantries were exchanged, thoughts and ideas were shared, leaks were had (oops!), and a lot of friends were made. All of that to bring to both of our fanbases what we hope will come as a pleasant surprise free content update that releases for both games today! Crossovers like this - between two of the top games on Steam in terms of players and reviews - are usually either uncommon or very limited or both. Our two teams took a different path, seeing this as a passion project. It has been amazing to watch the collaboration, the ideas just flowing and the shared fandom for each others' work. Relationships were forged here that we certainly hope will last for a very long time.

We have done our very best to summarize both side of this amazing crossover collaboration below - in the hopes that each fanbase will take the time to check out and enjoy the content from their favorite game in the other and vice versa. Thanks as always to the fans - your support truly makes things like this so much fun to work on. Cheers!

So, without further ado, we give you...

THE CONSTANT - A DON'T STARVE INSPIRED WORLD SEED

The team debated long and hard about the best way to bring the gameplay dynamics of Don't Starve Together into Terraria in a fun and clever way. Rather than having a standalone "event" (as we did with Dungeon Defenders 2), we decided to utilize the World Seed functionality present in Journey's End to create a more holistic Don't Starve x Terraria experience. What awaits you should you dare to explore The Constant?

DEERCLOPS - CLIPPING & CLOPPING, HERE COMES A STOMPING!

View attachment 345848

What adventure would be complete without a worthy foe to battle? Not this one, that's for sure! Our team has always loved the Deerclops in our plays of Don't Starve Together, so we immediately gravitated towards adding it as our featured boss battle for this crossover. We targeted this boss for mid/late Pre-Hardmode so that it would be accessible to as many players as possible. Make sure you check out his super-cool theme music - provided by Klei themselves and inspired from Deerclops' theme in Don't Starve!

You can summon this terrifying foe in the cold climate of the Ice Biome. What awaits you in this fight? Well... you will have to wait and see for yourselves!

DON'T STARVE TOGETHER INSPIRED ITEMS

What Terraria update would be complete without an array of new items to discover and use? We have added over 25 items lifted from or inspired by Don't Starve Together content. These range from new pets to weapons to vanity and more. Let's check a couple of them out, shall we?

DON'T STARVE TOGETHER UPDATE HIGHLIGHTS


For the DST Team, we absolutely knew that if we were going to do this crossover any justice we absolutely had to bring a boss (or two?) to the Constant. And, of course, we can't miss the opportunity to put our spin on a bunch of their coolest items.

View attachment 346546

Eye Wonder
Somewhere in the game world, survivors may come across the mysterious Terrarium setpiece which will allow players to encounter the Eye of Terror boss, (Terraria's Eye of Cthulu - as seen through the lens of the Constant) complete with its own Terraria inspired theme music.

For our seasoned survivors, the Twins of Terror can be summoned for an added challenge. Each boss has its own unique eye-catching equipment item, and we've also added new statues of these bosses to show off your triumphs.

Peep This
We've added a spect-ocular new critter for you to watch over, a new food item to fulfill your survivor's dairy needs, and we have a couple of new crockpot recipes for you to feast your eyes on as well.

Constant Style
We have introduced several Terraria item skins into Don't Starve Together as well as a 3 piece character set inspired by Terraria's traveling merchant. Exclusive to the "An Eye for an Eye" update, these skins are definitely out of this world. These item skins cannot be purchased and can only be woven with spool. I hope you have been saving up!

Of course, we can't have a bunch of new skins without giving some away, so for a limited time log in to receive the Terrarized chest with 6 free elegant skins! Yep, 6. This login bonus chest will be available for all players to claim until our next update in December.

When does it drop for ps4 ?
 
So....

Apparently there's a new starvation mechanic. My question is.... how exactly are you supposed to keep from starving to death at the beginning of the game when there's nothing to eat?

Can't fish because you need to build a house, and build 2 rooms, and then get 50s for the merchant to appear so you can get a bug net to get bait for fishing. This takes far longer than one day unless you get lucky with finding money in a nearby chest or something.
Can't eat the dye items that sounds like they should be edible.
Mushrooms don't work (they should!) either.
Squirrels, etc don't drop anything edible.

It takes way more than 10 minutes into the game to find anything edible. The least you could do is let us eat mushrooms to deal with the hunger mechanic.

that's only in the new seed
btw you can rack trees and get some fruit after enough trees, and you've got 10 minutes to find one, it's not that bad

Maybe the starvation process starts over when you die, but yeah trees give us fruit now so it’s kind of easier, I’m just curious of how to track this hunger.
 
Trees give fruit? Huh. They didn't, but then I simply cut them down.

And you can track the hunger easy. You start off Peckish, that lasts for 5 minutes. Then you get hungry, and that lasts for 5 minutes. Once that wears off, you get the dying debuff that does 2 damage every 2 seconds. It's an actual debuff that is displayed with the timer.

EDIT: So, I never knew about the shaking thing... it took like 20+ trees before I finally got a piece of fruit. Thankfully it shouldn't take Too long to get to where I can start fishing, be way better to do that instead, lol. Still think Mushrooms should be usable.

I hope the food mechanic isn't mandatory now and can be deactivated...
I hate starving mechanics or the likes.
