1.This mod works
2.The scaling is backwards, so setting it to 10% will give bosses the most while 100% will give them the least
3.Having 6 ppl on the server will always give bosses the maximum health (as in what they would have without this mod, not including exceptions)
4.Exceptions: Deerclops, Treeguards, MooseGoose and her kids and Spider Queens use singleplayer health values and are not affected by either scaling or players, so for example Deerclops will always have 2000 hp with this mod on
5.For others here's the formula: BossHealth * (1 + (playerCount - 1) * SCALING) / (1 + 5 * SCALING)
-Bosshealth is the hp the Boss has without this mod (you get this from the wiki, use the DST value not the DS value no matter what it says in the desc, for ancient fuel weaver use 10000 instead of 16000, i have no idea why that one's changed)
-PlayerCount is self explanatory (1-6 based on how many ppl there are)
-Scaling is what you've set in the settings (for example 35% becomes 0.35)

does this still work? And if I wanna increase the difficulty do I decrease the scaling?
Like I dont want them to be so weak but not as stong as base game.

Is it possible to fix the Antlion fight? The mod didn't scale it down as it was supposed to.

can we select the base values? I want to make their hp (normal dst boss hp)*(player quantity)

This should be in the game

i just fought ancient guardian with 100% scaling, 2 players, and it had 1.6k health. that doesn't seem right, considering DS ancient guardian has 2500 health

What are the base health values? Are they the same as their singleplayer don't starve counterparts?

Edith May 10, 2022 @ 11:40am 
Warg is literally same as varg

whats a warg or did you type 2 v's?

It scales up, but the base value is significantly lower than the base DST values. If you play with 2 people, the health values will be lower than DST is normally.

Heya! It says it "scales up" the health with each additional player. Does this mean that you have DST standard health by default and it just gets more and more hard? I'm looking for something that can scale down for a solo or 2-player world, so the bosses intended for 3-4 players or something like a Wanda-Wigfrid pair are actually managable. My friends and I rarely play combative characters, lol.

Is there any reason you didn't add all bosses yet?
Mizuki 水城 泰士 Oct 27, 2020 @ 1:01pm 
Is this solo friendly?

justawindydeer Nov 4, 2018 @ 10:44am 
could you add klaus and his deer to this mod?
Grooki  [author] Oct 31, 2018 @ 12:23pm 
No idea. You should contact the authors of those mods to find out.
Weaver Oct 31, 2018 @ 12:20pm 
why where the other health scaling mods taken down?
warcrafter May 28, 2018 @ 3:41pm 
could you make it os that mobs start at a lower health amount? then increase for # players?
Orange Creamsicle Jun 17, 2017 @ 9:06pm

molligru Jun 3, 2017 @ 4:57pm 
What is "Scaling lock"?
Dex Enfvaras Apr 26, 2017 @ 8:40am 
I don't see an option for Configuring the Health Scale for Player Count. How would this work?
QuickSaveTV Mar 31, 2017 @ 2:24am 
I really like your last update, good work!
Grooki  [author] Mar 30, 2017 @ 10:38pm 
You can tweak the scaling as you like, via configuration.
Stiv_64 Mar 30, 2017 @ 2:36pm 
But the newer Bosses like the Toads Tool have way to much health. I'd like to play this on single player where I don't have to waste a ton of resources on one boss.
Grooki  [author] Mar 25, 2017 @ 12:05pm 
Yep.
CutChemist Mar 25, 2017 @ 11:43am 
Have you scaled ancient fuel weaver?
Grooki  [author] Mar 25, 2017 @ 9:26am 
That's the point. Note that most creatures starts scaling from their single player health values.
Stiv_64 Mar 25, 2017 @ 7:13am 
Seems to me that the health will actually increase, the more players you have...
Operatic Ostrich Mar 2, 2017 @ 8:59pm 
How is the health scaled? If there is a single player on the server is the health the same as in Don't Starve RoG?
SoulChronicles Jan 2, 2017 @ 1:08pm 
What is that new boss and where do I find it? Please help thanks :3 I haven't played DST in a while so I don't know much anymore XD

@Star More friends means a better strategy, meaning that even though the boss' health will rise, you may be able to defeat him/her/it faster.
Foul TarnASSied Dec 17, 2016 @ 9:11pm 
Does the title picture refer to st. judas's betrayal?
Nov 22, 2016 @ 11:10pm 
good
star Sep 26, 2016 @ 6:22am 
So what is the reason to call friends if total boss health will rise?
Laosj Sep 26, 2016 @ 1:13am

Yay! now all we need is a flashlight mod XD
