Don’t Starve: Six Feet Under Adds Gamepad Support, New Environments

October 8, 2013 by Josiah Renaudin

The latest update to Klei Entertainment’s Don’t Starve adds a slew of new features, including controller support.

Don’t Starve, the survival action game coming from the bright minds at Klei Entertainment, has received a massive update, titled Six Feet Under, that you should pay attention to. Along with new enemies like the cave worm and items like Thulecite Crown, players who dig into this terrifying addition can expect fresh environments, powerful new pieces of equipment, and the gamepad support that so many people have been seeking.

You can get a first look at the update in the above video, but we’ve also provided a full list of the additions through the included patch notes:

Modding Support:

  • The Mod uploader now works on all platforms.
  • ​New modding tutorials have been added.
  • Set pieces and prefabs are now specified in level files and not hardcoded in world gen.


World:

  • Dying in the caves works the same way as the over world.
  • Caves can no longer be regenerated.
  • Time has now been synced across cave levels.
  • You can now resurrect between cave levels.
  • Changes and improvements have been added to Cave world generation:

    • Improved generation include areas that feel more unique
    • Added new biomes including Red and Green fungus forests and sunken swamps
  • The nightmare has further influenced the caves. Fissures can be found throughout.
  • Stalagmites can now be totally destroyed.
  • Added new art for the ruins entrance.

Creatures:

  • Beware the new monstrous creature burrowing in the caves.
  • Followers have been updated and will keep up with their leader.
  • Fire Hounds can now be frozen and Ice Hounds can be burned.

Items:

  • Destroying the cave worm drops a magical food item.
  • Added new Thulecite Crown magical effect.
  • Fire darts can be used on non-burnable creatures but will do no damage.
    They can also be used to thaw frozen creatures.

Controls:

  • Controller support added. Don't Starve is mostly playable with a gamepad with more improvements coming in the next update.

Of all the updates we’ve seen thus far, this is likely the biggest. Get ready to chop down more trees and stay alive as long as possible in the new Six Feet Under edition of the game.
