Removed Features

This feature has been removed from the game. The information presented here is for reference only.

The following features were once officially implemented in Don't Starve or Don't Starve Together, but have since been removed from the games for various reasons.

For features with references in the games' files, see Unimplemented Features.

Barrel

“Did that just move?”

–Wilson

“What a wonderfully flammable home.”

–Willow

“This... thing. It smells not so good.”

–Wolfgang

“It's filthy.”

–Wendy

“WHAT A PITIFUL HOME.”

–WX-78

“This appears to be the home of several primates.”

–Wickerbottom

“What a fine choice of building materials.”

–Woodie

“What a disgusting home.”

–Maxwell

“What hörrörs dwell within?”

–Wigfrid

“Did you hear something?”

–Webber

“Neat abode, guys.”

–Walani

“An absolute madhouse.”

–Warly

“They be keepin' treasures in thar, no doubt.”

–Woodlegs

The Barrel is a removed object found in the Caves, that used to spawn Splumonkeys. When destroyed with a Hammer, it dropped two Cave Bananas, 2 Manure and sometimes a Gnome. The Barrel was also flammable. As of A Moderately Friendly Update, the Barrel was removed, and replaced with the Splumonkey Pod. Its spawn code was "monkeybarrel"

Bonfire

The Bonfire is a removed Structure. Pigs used to spawn at Bonfires, before they were replaced by Pig Houses. They automatically started at Night, however, the Fire did not cast any light. The player was able to cook Food over a Bonfire even when it was not lit. Its spawn code was "bonfire".

Deadly Feast

“A most potent dish.”

–Wilson

“Fire didn't cure this dish of being nasty.”

–Willow

“Look like evil food.”

–Wolfgang

“This, my final feast.”

–Wendy

“POISON DETECTED”

–WX-78

“I'm not sure that's good to eat.”

–Wickerbottom

“That doesn't smell quite right, eh.”

–Woodie

“It smells... noxious.”

–Maxwell

“A möst pötent dish.”

–Wigfrid

“Scent of doom.”

–Webber

“My gut can't handle that!”

–Walani

“I would not recommend this.”

–Warly

“'Tis a dreadful meal.”

–Woodlegs

The Deadly Feast is a removed Food item that would instantly kill most characters when consumed. It was used as a way to escape Adventure Mode before the epilogue was fully implemented.

Gemology Tab

Gemology was a crafting tab used to make the various Gem-based items in the game. The recipes from the tab still exist, but they have since been split between the Magic Tab and the Ancient Tab. They included Life Giving Amulet, Chilled Amulet, Nightmare Amulet, The Lazy Forager, Fire Staff, Ice Staff, Telelocator Staff, Star Caller's Staff and Telelocator Focus.

Importing

Before the Doorway to Adventure update, it was possible to import a save for the steam version of Don't Starve from a backed up region that could be found in the steam directory. If you were trying to import to a specific game slot, the slot had to match the original slot of the saved game. This feature has since been removed.

Jury-Rigged Portal

“It's rickety, but it appears to function. After a fashion...”

–Wilson

The Jury-Rigged Portal was a previously naturally spawning Structure in Don't Starve Together that served as a spawn point for newly joined players. It could also be used to ressurect Ghost Players when playing in Endless Mode.

Lore-wise, the Jury-Rigged Portal was first featured in a comic used to announce Don't Starve Together, as silhouetted characters could be seen emerging from it. Later, it was revealed that Maxwell helped Wilson build it. It was then destroyed and replaced with the Florid Postern by Charlie upon the game leaving Early Access, though it is functionally the same thing.

Long Pig

“Flesh is flesh. Where do I draw the line?”

–Wilson

Long Pig, also called Human Meat, is a removed Food Item in Don't Starve Together, that used to be dropped by dying players. It stacked up to 20, took 6 Days to spoil, and when consumed, restored 12.5 Hunger, while reducing 20 Health and 33 Sanity. Long Pig no longer drops from players, as it was considered too macabre, although the assets still remained in the game. Its spawn code is "humanmeat".

Cooked Long Pig

“Cooked nice and pink, but still morally gray.”

–Wilson

Cooked Long Pig could be obtained by Cooking Long Pig on a Campfire or Fire Pit. It restored 18.75 Hunger, while reducing only 3 Health and 20 Sanity, and took 10 Days to spoil. Its spawncode is "humanmeat_cooked".

Long Pig Jerky

“Letting it dry makes it not come from a human, right?”

–Wilson

Long Pig Jerky could be produced by Drying Long Pig for 1 day. It took 20 Days to spoil, and when consumed, restored 25 Hunger, while reducing 3 Health and 15 Sanity. Its spawn code is "humanmeat_dried".

Malfunctioning Novelty Ride

The Malfunctioning Novelty Ride was part of a Set Piece in the Shipwrecked DLC. It was found near a Skeleton in any land Biome and served as a placeholder for the Seaworthy Portal. The Malfunctioning Novelty Ride can no longer be spawned into the game, as its prefab was completely replaced in the Wilbur Vs. The Volcano update.

Note

Notes were items dropped by Birds on May 1st, 2014. They were part of a puzzle, eventually hinting to the release of Don't Starve Together, and displaying coordinates to be used on a special map. Other than reading them, the only use for Notes was as a Fuel source. There were 17 different coordinates in total:

1 (-16, 16)	7 ( -4, -8)	20 (-22, 1)	60 ( 6,-23)
2 (-22, 9)	8 ( 20, -2)	30 (-10,-16)	100 (-14, 16)
3 ( 10,-16)	9 ( 2, 20)	40 ( 16, -2)	300 (-6, 13)
4 (-11, -4)	10 (-13, 8)	50 ( 13, -7)	400 (-18, 6)
5 ( 6, 2)

When a Note was examined, a line of code in the console ended with "It's Greek to me.", an idiom expressing the speaker does not understand something. In this case, however, it was also a hint at the answers to parts of the puzzle.

Research Points

Main article: Research Points List

Research Points were used to unlock new Crafting recipes and were acquired by putting Items into a Science Machine or Alchemy Engine. Each item gave a specific amount of points. In the Insanity! update, this feature was removed and replaced by Prototyping.

Road Turf

Road Turf was one of the Turf Items acquired by digging Road tiles with a Pitchfork. Like other Turfs, it could be placed on any bare ground tile. The player's speed was increased when walking on Road Turf. Road Turfs did stack up to 10 and had a fuel value of 45/90 Sec. Road Turfs have been replaced by Cobblestones. Roads are now permanent and can no longer be dug up with a Pitchfork.

Speargun

For the weapon still implemented in the game, see Spear Gun.

“Oh, the science I could get up to with this!”

–Wilson

“A handy tool upon the waves.”

–Willow

“Spears will shoot now!”

–Wolfgang

“It deals death from a distance!”

–Wendy

“COME AT ME, SEA CREATURES”

–WX-78

“I appreciate the advantage of a ranged gadget.”

–Wickerbottom

“This is one skookum weapon!”

–Woodie

“This projectile flinger may come in handy.”

–Maxwell

“A cöward's weapön.”

–Wigfrid

“We shoot it!”

–Webber

“Point. Shoot.”

–Walani

“Long-range kebab-ing.”

–Warly

“A fine gutshooter ye'll make.”

–Woodlegs

The Speargun was a craftable Ranged Weapon in the Shipwrecked DLC, that was replaced with the Spear Gun in the Release the Quacken! update. It could only be used once and dealt 100 damage per shot. Spearguns required 1 Seashell, 3 Bamboo, and 1 Jellyfish to craft, and a Science Machine to prototype. They were found in the Fight Tab and stacked up to 20. Their spawn code was "speargun".

Poison Speargun

The Poison Speargun was a Poisonous version of the Speargun. In addition to dealing 100 damage on hit, it also would poison the target. Poison Spearguns required 3 Seashell, 1 Bamboo and 1 Venom Gland to craft. Their spawn code was "speargun_poison".

Obsidian Speargun

In addition to dealing 100 damage on hit, the Obsidian Speargun would also ignite the target, unless used in the Hurricane Season. Obsidian Spearguns used 3 Seashell, 3 Bamboo and 1 Obsidian to craft. Prototyping them required using either their Blueprint or a Brain of Thought. Their spawn code was "obsidianspeargun".

Sticky Webbing (Item)

For the feature that is still available in the game, see Spider Den.

Sticky Webbing was a Turf Item that could be obtained by digging up the white, creep-like substance around Spider Dens and Spilagmites using a Pitchfork. It stacked up to 10 and had a fuel value of 45/90 Sec. The ability to dig up Sticky Webbing has been entirely removed from the game.

Trivia

• Wolfgang and WX-78 are the only characters able to survive the Deadly Feast as they can increase their maximum health after acquiring it. This is because the Deadly Feast's code only checks for a character's max health when it is first acquired.
• "Long pig" or "long pork" is a term reportedly used by cannibals to refer to human flesh as food.
• Pigs can turn into Werepigs if fed 4 Long Pig, since Long Pig and all variants reduce health when eaten.
