Guides/Console Edition

Introduction
This guide goes over some of the features/exploits and general problems which occur in the PS4 edition of Don't Starve. Please note, any of this might be subject to change, since some features might be changed/updated and exploits might be patched. In no way does this guide promote these exploits, but they should be noted or experimented by new players since they might help newcomers to Don't Starve. None of these features are in the other editions, so this guide won't be useful for anyone on those platforms.

If you have anything to add, please feel free. I welcome any kind of feedback.

Pause to sort your inventory
In the PS4 edition, you can pause the game and open up a sorting screen, mid game, allowing you to equip or sort items out without fear. This is useful when you need to quickly put fireflies into your Miner Helmet, or you have just been attacked with no armor equiped. To do this, press R2 on your controller. This can be done whilst you have a chest open, to save time doing storage management at base. Whilst active, you can drop and equip items, but also see the numbers on your Sanity, Hunger and Health. If you have a Life Giving Amulet, you can equip it when you are almost dead in combat to revive without the need to constantly wear it.

Crashing
The PS4 edition has some CPU problems in certian situations. The most notable is tight packed tree farms. If you plan on building a massive tree farm, plant it away from your base or space out the trees to give room and ease the processing. Another example is during winter. The game is more prone to crash in winter, so even if you reduce the size of you tree farm, it might crash. The way to avoid this is not walking through your tree farm, since this overloads the system.

This has been made less of a problem, with autosaves, but you still must avoid this happening.

Collecting dropped items
Simple enough, you can hold X to collect items faster. This makes items like the Lazy Forager less important, since you can hold X and harvest items automatically. A problem to be noted is you will need to avoid allowing your character to be next to a tree stump or other such objects, since they will lock on to that instead.

Problems with Lureplants (same applies to chests and firepits with heat stones)
Players should be warned, if you plant too many Lureplants close together to harvest (on man made turfs) you might have problems harvesting. This is due to the lock on system having problems registering certian items you wish to pick up.

Note
This Guide could do with anything you have found in the PS4 version, since there is stil other things which differ between it and the PC edition.
