When I'm not playing in a group in
Don't Starve Together I hop on to my solo server for time with myself to cry and wonder why it was a good idea to even do such a thing.
It's autumn where mother nature isn't a threat and it's the perfect season to begin the game; find materials/supplies and begin making camp.
A basic boxed-in setup was my first goal to keep the enemies out and it worked for the entire duration of autumn.
Come winter the temperature plummets and plants begin to freeze up and I'm now trying to keep the balance of staying warm while venturing out for the daily supply run. Then it happens.
There's a pattern of rumbles and my character Willow exclaims,
"That sounded like a big mean monster man!" From the previous playthrough with mates it clearly was a giant approaching and specifically the
winter Deerclops. Not taking any chances I leave camp and wait for it to pass...
... straight through my camp. I return to the mess quite salty after the ordeal.
Life goes on and throughout spring I rebuild camp, survive the torrential rain, run in to the moose giant north of camp and even marvel at the egg it lays.
Then yet another giant ruins camp and this time rummaging through my chests and fridges throwing away what isn't food and consuming what is. There goes almost 2 seasons worth of growing and scavenging food.
Too salty to take screenshots of what camp was like during the invasion I shut the server down for another day of misery.
