Shipwrecked and Adventure Mode
How am I supposed to play Shipwrecked DLC? Also why is there no Adventure Mode? I'm not re-purchasing the same exact game just to play dlc and alternate modes. Help?

The expansion DLCs are only for Don't Starve, the single player version

Don't Starve Together is its own thing and currently doesn't have adventure mode- It's effectively an expanded version of the Reign of Giants dlc

I know this, as the post says.

Ah.. um.. you're posting this in the Together forums, so it sounds like you're asking how to touch dlc and adventure mode in together.. which you can't.

I know where I'm posting. This is a question for DST.

Unfortunately we do have to re-purchase the ~Exact same game, the Don't Starve to play the SW DLC. For some reason these games are completely separate, and don't have any connection. (Sometimes they reward you with items when you purchase a DLC for singleplaye game tho.)

And the way you play Shipwrecked DLC is to launch Don't Starve, and select "SW" as a game-mode when creating a world.

Don't Starve and Don't Starve Together are two different games with several differences between them, despite the similarities in the base gameplay, and with DS's DLCs and DST's updates they're getting more and more further. DST works with a different engine and had to be made from the ground up becasue DS wasn't intended to become a multiplayer game at all at the beginning.
A few examples for things that got changed in DST: it runs on servers, making caves resourse-intensive, ruins are on the same level as caves; no armor stacking; smoldering; sleeping mechanic; no world hopping; no pausing; many mobs' health got adjusted. And ofc no SW or Hamlet content, but all the stuff from the A New Reign updates and now the character reworks, new characters and the Return of Them updates.
So to play Shipwrecked you either have to buy DS or use a DST mod, but these mods are far from ideal in my experience.
Lore-vise DST is after DS's adventure mode, plus I think it would have been too demanding to completely rework the adventure mode for multiplayer, that's why DST doesn't have it.

TL;DR: DS and DST are not the same exact game, they are working differently with different mechanics and get separate DLCs and updates.
