Don't Starve Together

Don't Starve Together

FourTwenty
Suggestions?
I love this mod, but it seems a bit unbalanced with the difficult nature of Don't Starve.

It might fall on deaf ears since I think this is abandoned, but in the strange case of the author returning to work on it, here's what I would recommend:

1) Eating raw cannabis gives too much hunger reduction and healing. I think it ought to give very minor gains and it should cause a small loss of sanity. This is to encourage the player to dry and use it in other ways which give greater benefits. Who likes eating raw weed anyways? It should be possible, but more as a desperate last measure to stay alive. The way it is implemented now, players can just live on raw cannabis the whole game.

2) Smoking cannabis should give a small to moderate amount of healing, and a decent boost to sanity, but will make the player lose hunger at a higher rate for a short amount of time. This was suggested by other players and I think it's a great idea. Almost everything beneficial in Don't Starve has a downside, even if small. Smoking to regain health and sanity at the expense of hunger is a nice balance to keep late game healing from being too overpowered.

3) Cannabis food/products: What about a recipe for cannabis butter as a base? Its a lot of work to add whole new recipes, but being able to make food with it seems logical in a game like Don't Starve. Another option would be some kind of healing balm that perhaps heals only a little but doesn't cause hunger loss.

4) The most complicated idea I thought of was making overuse of cannabis detrimental instead of beneficial. I don't know how this concept could be implemented into code, but basically the idea would center around Sanity. Using cannabis would increase sanity at first, but start a counter that once past a certain threshold would lower sanity instead with continued usage. This would be the "too stoned" idea to keep players from just overusing cannabis as either a food source or healing source.

These are just some ideas I've had floating around the old noggin. Most people I play with feel like FourTwenty is a cool mod, but is overpowered and unbalanced, and I have to agree. Should the author ever return, maybe this stuff can be changed/added to try and balance the experience out.
Thanks for a great mod! The models and animations are great! I would love to see this get to a 2.0!

Thanks for the feedback!! It's definitely not abandoned - I've just been on an extremely long hiatus. I'm back now though and planning the next round of updates, so I'll definitely factor in your suggestions.
Holy thread resurrection! Thanks for the reply so many years later! An update to this mod would definitely make me start another play-through!
Best of luck in your modding journey and thanks again!
walter shouldnt be able to use it because his loss of sanity is what keeps him balanced
he could say "gotta keep a sharp mind in the wild" or something. webber also wouldnt use it cannonicaly cus he promised to always be good. (make the kids not able to use it)

this is just a suggestion i dont really care if the fictional children wanna smoke

Ahhh yeah that's a good call about Walter. I'll incorporate that into my next update.
