I experienced a bug on the linux version of don't starve that causes the game to crash when the tallbird becomes fully grown. I tried disabling other mods, and that did not work.

@thetheninjagummybear Thanks for the report, I'll test it on my linux laptop and see what I can do

Sorry for the delay in responsing. I couldn't right click the bird to make it stay when I tried to disable other mods.When i hovered my mouse over the bird and clicked it ,it only showed its name and there was not a "stay" command icon or other signs that the bird was halted.I wondered if it dint work for small birds unless they grew into teen birds...My version is recently updated.Thank you^^

@SWN Oh I see the confusion now. The "Stay" command only works for adult Tame Tallbirds. The reasoning is that the smaller birds are to young to be able to live on their own.

Though It would be possible to make the "Stay" command work for the younger birds as well, I felt one of the purposeful challenges of raising a tallbirds was that you must protect it during it's growth period (which would prevent you from doing many useful tasks, such as farming silk). I don't plan to add this feature as it woudl be against the spirit of the base game in my opinion.

Let me know if the "Stay" command works when your bird reaches adulthood.

Even with the mod installed, when I raised a tallbird to adulthood, it still attacked me, forcing me to kill it (which caused my end, because it ended up killing me). Is this a bug, or was I meant to change something in the mod files for it to work, in which if that's so, what did I have to change? I'm suspecting that it's a bug, considering the fact that there wasn't any instructions on what to change in the mod files.

@DanceyKitty I'm very sorry you had this problem, the mod should work out of the box without any modifications.


Can you help me reproduce the issue again to see if it is repeatable? On the mod configuration screen there is an option for "DEBUG: Tallbird Speed", which will reduce the time to hatch and grow a tallbird to a matter of seconds. Can you enable this option and try raising a bird again and see if the same thing happens?


Another question is did you accidentally starve the bird you were raising, or attack it? If a smallbird or smallishbird decides you are no longer it's master and leaves to fend for itself, it will grow up into a normal tallbird instead. Do you think that could have happened to you?

Well, I did accidentally starve it, but I couldn't feed it because I didn't have much food to feed it, since I raised it in winter, the worst time to raise pretty much anything. So I think that's likely what happened. I'm not very experienced, so I didn't know this. Thanks for the help, and sorry about that.

Same for me :/ ... When it grows up adult, the game crash instanly.
I run a RoG game Ham compatible. All was fine until that...

I tried to déactivate, reactivate, reinstall, etc ...
Nothing's working except when it grows as a wild bird (game loaded with unactive mod... and it attacks me just after grown up xD)

Sorry for the long delay, the crashes in Ham compatible worlds should be fixed!

Crashes on Linux for DS/ROG worlds, Hamlet enabled or not, upon a smallish tallbird aging into a tallbird. Disabling other mods doesn't prevent the crash. The crash message starts with:


Thank you for making this mod. Even if it doesn't work for me it seems to work for other people and it looks really cool!
