Instead, players should look at their main Map using “M” and revert to their Minimap once they are already en-route to the destination.Īlthough the Minimap HUD allows players to scroll through the whole map, there is no trigger to re-center the map, making you lose your placement often. The Minimap HUD isn’t designed for players to do a lot of exploration on. I use the Minimap most when I’m trying to figure out how close I am or far away from an area. I’ll admit that the Minimap HUD isn’t the most fantastic Minimap, and it doesn’t allow you to interact with the Minimap as smoothly as a game like FFXIV, but it’s still better than no Minimap. I hate games that don’t have Minimaps, and I especially hate that Don’t Starve Together don’t have a built-in minimap since the game requires you to be pretty much always moving.

While players can use the in-game Cartographer’s Desk to share the parts of the map that they have explored, the Cartographer’s Table just seems like an unnecessary barrier. I know, I know, cheating!! But, I at least recommend using Global Positions the first time you play through Don’t Starve Together with your friends. Global Positions will allow you to see an icon for each of your allies in real-time and will also let you to see the parts of their maps that they have revealed. While I understand why Klei chose to make it so you can’t see teammates on the map in Don’t Starve Together, I think it’s idiotic.

MODS THAT ARE ESSENTIAL TO DON’T STARVE TOGETHER (DST) GLOBAL POSITIONS by rezecib Note: Watch me play Don’t Starve Together with my community and similar games on Twitch! Always happy to answer questions there!

So, the following list will cover some of the essential mods you will need when playing Don’t Starve Together, some that simply make gameplay more straightforward, some that make gameplay overpowered and some that simply help the social aspect of Don’t Starve Together. Using mods is going to be based on personal preference and based on how much you want to alter gameplay. While I will admit, some mods are built for each specific game that I wish were compatible for both, there are hundreds of other mods that can fill in the gaps. One of my favourite things about Don’t Starve and Don’t Starve Together is the ability to mod both games.
