No Perma-death?

[Nem]

If I die I respawn as a ghost which I assume allows me to do something to live again.. I preferred Vanilla Dont starve's perma-death where you die and it's game over.

I originally thought Wilderness was this but I still became a ghost.. Kinda just feels like there's no real punishment for dieing.

just make the server survival and not endless.

When playing with others, they can revive you after death. If you're playing solo and die, you're done. Unless you're on endless, then you can revive as much as you want.

if you want permadeath, just dont revive, the game has an option to make a new world when you die, and if you dont click it, it does it automatically after 2 minutes. Also dont starve didnt have permadeath either, you could build a meat effigy or equip a life giving amulet before you died and you'd be back just fine

You can choose what happens when you die during world creation:

-Survival: When you die you become a ghost.
-Endless: When you die you become a ghost, and can revive endless times at the portal.
-Wilderness: When you die you go to the character select screen.

Yeah but without these it was Permadeath, I don't mind crafting things to prevent it because thats a reward of gameplay. I'm talking about how if you die in DST you become a ghost and it's built-in. It just happens. You don't have to farm for it or do any kind of pre-requisites.

So in Survival is there no way to revive as a ghost then? Is that it, done? I play Solo so I have no allies. Feels a little forced to have to manually back out instead of getting Vanilla's Days Survived screen.

If you can find a touchstone before the timer ticks down, you can use it to revive.

If you made a life giving amulet ahead of time (prestihatinator, gold, and a red gem required), you can haunt it to revive...as long as you didn't store it in your backpack, that is.

If you attuned to a meat effigy beforehand, you'll auto revive at that.

Sadly, you can't haunt a telltale heart to revive.

Live Giving amulet and Meat effigy it's always best item for Solo Survival only you are too overwhelmed try switch to Endless Mode

And then you die from some sh*t and cry about it

Wilderness doesn't turn you into a ghost, you just go back to the character select screen and can respawn. I think you're confused about what mode does what. It should be obvious why perma-death in a multiplayer game like this where you would typically play with friends isn't a good idea.

Use the endelss mode and you can haunt the portal to revive

[jinxx]

if you are alone in a server you get a count down to perma death
