Rakky the Kangarcoon

Description
All comments that violate Steam Rules and Guidelines will be reported.

"My love for adventure has finally taken me somewhere I can't escape. Was mom right all along?"

You can find the multiplayer version here.

---------------------
Rakky is part raccoon and prefers food stale for some reason. Fresh food is now considered unripe. Unripe food has stale food effects on hunger (66%) and health (33%), and spoiled food effects on sanity (-10 if sanity value > 0).

---------------------
Rakky is too focused on adventure, so he is unobservant to incoming threats. Rakky will not get a warning of hounds, giants, krampus, or Charlie.

---------------------
Tips:
As Rakky, you'll likely will have prepare food ahead of time. Since Rakky doesn't gain sanity from eating unripe food, keeping sane could be a challenge. Sleeping becomes useful for recovering sanity if you have lots of food.

Berries and vegetables spoil faster if cooked. Meats spoil faster when raw, though meats other than fish damage sanity when eaten raw. Raw fish is very useful (especially in Shipwrecked) since it spoils fast and is safe to eat. Additionally, food spoils faster when placed on the ground, though you would have to watch out for other mobs taking it.

for anyone looking to play this mod with hamlet installed, you'll have to comment out / remove lines 201 through 219 from the modmain.lua. It's at:

Steam>steamapps>common>dont_starve>mods>worlshop-367038912>modmain

Lines 201-219 look like this:

Override deerclops warning for Base

function basehassler:OnUpdate(dt)
if not self.timetoattack then
self:CeaseAttacks()
return
end

self.timetoattack = self.timetoattack - dt
if self.timetoattack <= 0 then
self.warning = false
self:ReleaseHassler()
self:CeaseAttacks()
else
if not self.warning and self.timetoattack < self.warnduration then
self.warning = true
self.timetonextwarningsound = 0
end
end
end

remove this or turn it into comments (put 2 dashes (--) at the start of each lone) and the game shouldn't crash on launch anymore :)

I have always liked this character playing as him when I was younger and more oblivious

this character is adorable

The ripeness mechanic was so refreshing to play with! I hadn't had so much fun with don't starve in a while

you say you will have to keep sanity up but any good player can deal with being insane with no problem
KitaQman 15 Feb, 2018 @ 7:12pm 
That's fine. They are still great characters.
Dragon Wolf Leo  [author] 15 Feb, 2018 @ 6:21pm 
They're pretty much complete, apart from needing minor tweaks and missing speech strings. Which I need to get around to doing, but I'm no longer into Don't Starve modding as much I used to.
KitaQman 15 Feb, 2018 @ 6:12pm 
Are you ever gonna update your characters again?

Куча ненужной хрени,но чар забавный.

Does he lose sanity if he goes through a wormhole?
