Klei’s Don’t Starve Together may have carried the beta tag in what feels like an eternity, but at least it’s seen a slew of both minor and major content updates in that time. The latest of these include the Trade Inn, allowing avid collectors to upgrade an item in their collection to one of higher rarity. Groovy? More like… stylish!
For those of you not in the know, the Trade Inn resides in the main menu and is a purely cosmetic feature, in that the only things tradeable are of the apparel type (ie. clothes). Still a rather neat addition though, as I’m sure a lot of players – unlike myself – have built up a rather extensive collection, one full of duplicates and/or otherwise unimportant pieces. Well, now those have a purpose, as you can upgrade them! Get to upgrading! Upgrade! Now!
Ahem. While undeniably the main attraction of Don’t Starve Together update 169551, there are certainly other noteworthy changes and additions. “Creatures following a player leader are now friendly to other players unless provoked”, for example, is one I’m personally very pleased to see, as it should eliminate certain spider problems. Yeah. We’ll see. I’ll find a way to turn them hostile against other players without provocation, just you wait.
Don’t Starve Together [Early Access] is available from Steam, carrying a $14.99 price tag.
