FAQ
Q1. The chesters seems to be misbehaving and haven't updated to fix the bugs that have been addressed, what do I do?

A. Go into the DST folder itself and go into the mods folder. Delete the folder named workshop 407977022. More than likely steam didn't upload the update properly to your PC and you need to reinstall the mod completely. Unsubscribing and resubscribing won't fix the issue fully. You HAVE to delete the files. (For extra measure when I do this more other mods that other people have made I also run CCleaner and use it's registry cleaner as well. It's free)

Q2. Friend A is having problems connecting to my server by the game saying it has run out of memory. What happened?

A. There's actually a few reasons that can lead to this. The MAIN reason for this though, is because of the game itself. The game was originally coded to read only up; to 2 GB of memory. If it uses anymore than 2 GB of memory, it crashes. If you're like me and have been around since DST stone ages (alpha) and use a whole slew of mods, you're already aware of this issue and have probably used the fix for it. Someone TRIED to make a mod to fix the issue but it never worked for me. Explanation to do the correct fix will be in the comments. The second issue would be because you don't have enough memory in your computer to begin with. DST alone can use quite a bit of memory, and if you use windows 10 on say, a computer with only 6 GB of memory, you'll max it out very quickly. I've watched friends not heed my warnings actually crash again and again over this issue and wonder why. Im running a windows 7 machine, and even that has it's own issues.

Q3. So there are 6 chesters... What do they all do?

A. View the All About Chesters discussion thread.

Q4. Will there be more chesters?

A. in all honesty I don't even know. I used to have so many ideas, but being an adult is getting in the way. To top that all off, I am by no means, a programmer. I originally began this adventure with afetogbo who left DST and never looked back. I've been on my own ever since.

Q5. What other games do you play?

A. I play lots of games, my main focus of which game does change though. I used to religiously play SWTOR for 6+ years, but over time the community died, my guild all left to other games, and we all hang out together on discord. One game you may see me in though is Town of Salem, I usually play as 'I Eat Kids' with the skin of the witch with a gingerbread house. The pets change all the time though. If you don't get the reference, go lookup hansel and grettle.

Q6. Woah a discord? Where do I sign up for that???

A. Add me as a friend on steam and leave me a message. I don't bite... much... Keep in mind I don't put up with trolls or toxic people and it's an immediate permaban.

Q7. I wanna be a guinepig for updates to the chester family!

A. I'd rather not share this aspect of the testing phase to this mod. Most people don't know or understand how chester works, or want to put in the time and effort it takes to work on this. Testing this means you'd also need to be willing to help out with the code as far as pinpointing where the errors come from. I just grab my SO and have him test for me.

Q8. I read somewhere you have a twitch you stream on sometimes... What's your name?

A. My twitch is KookyVextra, right now I don't stream often, but I may start doing it more after we get our birds situated in their room instead of next to my computer. I don't think people would appreciate hearing parrots screaming into the microphone. When I do start streaming I'll be doing on and off of my gameplay in DST, 7 dyas to die, and Rimworld, with a sprinkle of some of the other games I like playing at odd times.
