its a shame.... these where good mods. Its a bad thing to let em rot.

I don't know what to tell you fam. I didn't learn any specific programming languages in college, I learned how to algorithm and the base foundation thats used in *all* programming languages, so learning the exact processes LUA wanted came pretty easily. Biggest thing I can say is Google is your friend. Also I'm sure there's some DS modding guides somewhere if you search for it.

i believe in you J.C

on second thought the chances of a community fix for that many mods are highely unlikely...

damn. u know any good tutorials on lua? eventually theres gonna be a time where imma make a modpack so might as well prepare.

its quite sad if you think about it really.. so many mods all left as dusts on a bookshelf pretty much dead or abandoned... everything i seen so far has that 2013 vibe to it which is edgyness at its finest and i couldnt believe that id hear myself say this but i miss it.

is there no other way other then learn LUA? no community fix posted on the forum? nothing?

Oh dude, I don't know. I can't imagine it changed *too* much sense there are some mods that still work, its just most are likely conflicting with new systems, mechanics, and what have yous, but you're gonna have to learn LUA to even look into this. When I made this mod I was learning everything as I went lmao. When I get the spoons to attempt to update this, its also going to be a learning experience, I'm sure.

question. my only modding experience that i have is with payday 2 and minecraft. how much does the code change overtime? wouldnt playing on an older version of dont starve via steam launcher options fix most of the mods here? i am curious since theres hundreds of good mods that seem to be abandoned and none functional at current versions and i wanna experience them all. hell ill learn modding if i have to just to fix most of the mods or make a temporary solution.

Again last thing I wanna do is make another empty promise and get your hopes up, but I do appreciate the kind words, Numbers, and I'm glad you enjoyed my work. I really do wanna come back to this at some point. Maybe to at the *very least* make it stop crashing your game. Btw cool thing, i thought I had lost everything with my last PC dying on me, but I checked my google drive and my old work for the shipwreck/hamlet update I had planed is still there, so that's something. Again no promises, but we'll see.

not touched in seven years, yet you'll still respond to a random comment?
wether or not you update it or not, you're a champ for that nonetheless. respect.

I haven't touched this in 7 years, so it would be an uphill battle to do so especially sense I don't remember how I went about all this or how DS works now mod wise, but if I get the free time, I can *try* to see about looking into it. I don't wanna fully get your hopes up, but I'll see what I can do.

praying it gets updated this was one of my favorite mods

how do I write?

nevermind, it completely kills the save file and crashes on startup.

shaving beefalo with the razor causes game crashes.

aw man this mod still crashes existing worlds, that's a shame it looked like a fun addition to Wilson's gameplay

If you want too.

It is ok, just handle life first then you can go back to modding.

Also what the hell happened to the year? I was going to try to get this thing updated like January. Life has been eating away at me. I have like the update half done and I just haven't had the time, energy, or motivation to do it. I want to though. I want to come back to don't starve. Just so many other things in my life have been holding my attention. I'm really am sorry for promising updates and it not coming. I'm not making excuses just saying how it is. I want to come back to this, but I'm scared to promise a "soon" now. We'll see what happens friends.

that's...odd. Probably dealing the razor in some way cause of the way I programmed it. I haven't tested it with any of the newer patches that have been out sense release. Sorry. I honestly don't know when I'll have time to get this fixed up.

yup, 100% this mod i causing the crash, disabeld it and it worked fine. Don't know how or why.

so, no idea how or why but i think this is causing my game to crash apon loading a save, something to do with beffalos.

He will but modding take time

so no update?

While true low sanity isn't much of a hinderance for the experienced and offers nightmare fuel which is dope, Wilson is kinda the defacto starting character and a way to maintain sanity for newbies that comes with some good character flavor is fine.

Its all good my dude. =3

Yeah I looked it up and felt stupid then. Oof. My bad.

I didn't forget the feather pencil. I made this mod before that came out. I've even mentioned it down in my little update below your comment.

You forgot the feather pencil and how to use it. I'm probably just stupid but I couldn't find out how to use it for the journal.

@Joehsnsoen 's comment "the journal imo lacks any upsides due to almost no benefits of being near/full sanity" does give me the thought of maybe the vanilla journal is sanity boost while the other three upgrades do something else other than fire/water proofing. I don't know. Its something to consider. Again thoughts are welcome.

Just so you peeps know I haven't forgoten about this. With Hamlet hitting steam as well as the Quality of Life update, I'm going to see about finally getting the time to do the update for SW as well as stuff for Hamlet. Namely, for the journal upgrades. I already have the Gilded Journal for Waterproofing (made from tigershark) and the Scaled Journal for Fireproofing (made from dragonfly). I'm going to take a peek at the boss monsters of Hamlet to see what I could use for its own upgrade. I also think that the journal itself should be a craftable thing, that way you can have one of each upgrade; I said in the past that no it would be a thing, but I think in hindsight this would be a good change. I'll probably also take out the pencil seeing as QoL added the feather pencil. Feel free to send me your thoughts.

Yup. Hamlet is on Steam now, i'm really looking foward to this.

I hope this is still being worked on.

LOL!! OOPS!!! Welp thats a foresight fail on my part! I didn't think of that!!! XDDD I'll have to fix that later.

The ability of Wilson's Razor to drop 2 extra loot also affects the damaged journal, resulting in getting three empty journals.

I like Wilson's razor in the fact you get 2 more beard hair/beefalo hair, doesn't have lot of uses but its nice; the journal imo lacks any upsides due to almost no benefits of being near/full sanity.

my friend, you are a genius! these totally make sense! as well as the fact that in the first few years of don't starve, they made wilson a mini 3 entry journal about beeffalo, and survival.

mostly beefalo though

Yes! Wilson needed more perks than just growing his magnificent beard. Thanks mate.

Oh! Pretty clever mod! :D

Please do port To DST ! i cant waittttt!!

@Dragonborn: Thanks so much!!! I'm glad that you like it so much! I'd love to add this DST but I have had trouble transfering this from DS to DST (mainly cause I don't know how to do so, this is my first mod after all). Also I have just stepped away from this for so long I need to refresh myself with the mod before doing any manner of update. Life just railroaded me so hard for the last year. I really need to finish the shipwreck update. Once I finish the shipwreck update (in 2030 at this rate XP) I'd love to get help to bring this over to DST.

Really good mod.If i play Wilson,i`m always on this mods.Can you make this for DST?This is pretty cool mod.

Nah man, I do get you. There are several mods I //NEED// when i play this game and a good chunk of them just aren't getting the update to make them SW compatiable. So taking the time to add a single line of code isn't a bad idea, especially if said mod hasn't been updated in years.

It does, but the issue is I'm stupid. I thought it'd be an issue cause if you do that, then obviously if the mod actually does get an update I'd need to notice and then re-add it.

Then I realized if a mod is still being updated it's probably being made compatible for Shipwrecked anyway. It's amazing how faulty my logic can be.

Bam, the pen fixed and the razor is now better than the normal one.

I think if you change the mod folder's name it'll keep it from changing your edits.
I might do a tiny update soonish to fix feather issue, and also give wilson's razor a perk of dropping extra loot (cause I just figured out today how to do that.)

@ScientificallyStarving My only concern with that would be a couple mods, specifically Nightmares tab (which I don't think even exists on the workshop or Klei forums anymore) and the out of date RPG HUD Neat, those would be the two mods I'd most expect to conflict with Shipwrecked, the former mostly cause of the new tabs. But I'll have to see.

There's also the matter that I think if you modify a mod, when it checks for updates it'll undo any changes you made so a seperate, non-workshop version needs to be mad. Which of course means I'd need to manually get updates. But I suppose if I want to play Shipwrecked anytime soon that's still my best bet.

@Rougheredge Thanks. I do understand your shipwreck issue. An easy "fix" is just to add "shipwrecked_compatible = true" in the modinfo file in the mod. Granted you're running a risk that the mod will clash with something in shipwreck but most mods shouldn't have a problem.

Also I'm sorry about the feather thing. I thought I had that changed back to what it was supposed to be.

For some reason the Pen is using the winter feather recipe even though I have RoG enabled.

The art for the "coming soon" looks beautiful, though unfortunately, I don't have Shipwreaked cause a lot of mods I love to use aren't and probably won't be updated for it. I want to learn myself and possibly update them just on my end so I can use them but that takes a lot of work to learn.

@Scientifically np man, I know how annoying it can be when someone comments after not reading properly
btw have you considered making the ink recipe use more than just Charcoal, imo it would be cool to make it something like the Healing Salve recipe as grinding-ink was the original ink; modern example: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0fweYYmWK2g [4:03 in]. You could follow the Healing Salve recipe but with Charcoal instead of ash and Berries instead of the Spider Gland [i.e. 2 Charcoal, 1 Stone, 1 Berries]... you could even take the Healing Salve image and paint it's pink liquid black. As for your nice ink bottle image you could make it an item that gives more uses for less 'ink' (like the Bucket-o-poop is to the Manure), e.g. something like 1 glass bottle, 3 ink and maybe find a way to make Sandy Piles appear in the Desert biome and the glass bottle recipe available in rotg worlds.
All's cool, hope my little tease made you smile and my ideas weren’t annoying :)
