Make Autumn last forever.

[C H R 0 S]

Game is hard! everyone always dies and leaves by winter. Why no one join after day 20? :(((
If i didnt know better, i would have to say some people are stuck playing autumn over and over again.

Just change ur world settings to only autumn brother, u can change everything to fit ur gameplay style : )

To be fair, if you randomly spawn into winter you can have a pretty hard time. Winter + not being sure how much the world has been picked over? I can understand the hesitation.

But, yeah, change your settings. If you want to stay in autumn, do. If you're sick of autumn, give spring a try. I have my worlds set to start in either autumn or spring randomly.

I strongly suggest keeping the settings to a point where, at the very least, spring and winter are enabled. no winter or spring will essentially lock you out of potentially useful items, and neither season are terribly difficult to combat once you learn them.

as for summer, doesn't matter. summer is by far the most annoying season where I just play with it off. I get by just fine with the content that spring and winter offer me with autumn.

one of the game's biggest charms is how much freedom the player is given with how they want to play the game. and the current world settings we have now are more than flexible to suit the player's needs, however they wish to customize them. pair this with mods, you got yourself a great game here that's worth the time and investment in learning for the sake of having a fun time killer.

I was actually entertaining the idea to run an autumn-only server.

But it's also fact that seasons take quite a long while and some of us simply have other things to attend to at times. So maybe a server with reduced season length would be an idea. I know it can be adjusted in the world settings. The question is how well populated such a server would be. Because my impressions as far as survival mode goes is that people prefer vanilla/KLEI officials even if there are other dedicated servers that are mostly vanilla too but running useful and good anti-griefing mods. Doesn't matter. Those still sseem constantly less populated.

I occasionally join other seasons. But as mentioned above by others it can be a very rough experience even for veteran players if the longer-lasting players on the server have made sure to rip away all the resources around the spawn portal (I actually had an argument with someone on that topic in-game a while back, and he refused to listen) and when they have either never made a moonlens or somesuch or when they are very deliberately hiding because they refuse to trust later-joiners.

This community can be paranoid enough as is, some lone person being able to destroy everything others have built over dozens of hours in the blink of an eye has just given too much PTSD to a whole bunch of people here. So you can try as hard as you want, be as friendly and forthcoming and useful as you wish, some people will still make your life hell in this game, whether they're aware of it or not, and not only but especially in past-autumn seasons.

DST is a sand box game so if people want to make it easier then let them do it without calling them noobs it is their world so they do what they want.

What do you call a bug? It is a bug. What do you call a deer? It is a deer. What do you call a noob? It is a noob.
This discussion I made is purely troll for how so many people keep restarting autumn over and over. Whats best is you are here ;)

[Alucard †]

No.
Make Winter last forever.
It's the most chill of all DST seasons.

They should make spring last forever, it has the best music out of any other season. Summer is a close second, although the sound of the base burning makes it too hard to hear the fire beats.

I feel like a ton of noobs try to avoid bosses, not sure why lol
Last time I played it was a struggle getting people underground with me to go ruins xD

I don't like caves much from an aesthetical and immersive point of view. I'm not a huge fan of being stuck underground. It's why I tried and dropped Terraria like one or two dozen times.

I usually do such new-ish things when Winter is about to come and the server about to wipe empty anyway. Autumn is the chill season. Whatever comes after might as well be a struggle or kill you when everything is soon lost anyway. (I play survival mode only.)
