Robert Wagstaff is a Character in singleplayer Don't Starve currently available only with the interior beta as part of the Hamlet DLC. He requires no experience to unlock and is immediately available. He is a pivotal character in the game's lore, being the founder of the Voxola Radio Company and likely creator of WX-78.

Special Power

Wagstaff has access to his own Crafting tab called Tinkering, with which he is able to craft different types of goggles and 3 exclusive gadgets. All goggles will remove Wagstaff's nearsight disadvantage when worn, and each have their own special ability. Additionally, all of Wagstaff's exclusive headwear grants protection from Humid Season's fog, allowing him to move at full speed.

The Tinkering Tab contains the following items that Wagstaff can craft:

• Spectoggles - Basic goggles for general use to negate nearsightedness and is used as an ingredient craft other goggles. Can be used to investigate Peculiar Objects and reveal hidden danger. Has a durability of 10 days. 
• Infroggles - Lets Wagstaff see the world in an infrared view. Can be used to avoid being attacked by Charlie and lasts for 2 days. 
• Visor - Absorbs 85% of physical damage and has a durability of 600. 
• Fryfocals - Shoots a fireball when Wagstaff attacks a target while unequipped (i.e nothing in the hand slot). Each fireball deals 50 damage on impact as well as sets the victim on fire. The durability of these goggles is only reduced when firing them, meaning the player can wear them forever to as long as they are not attacking. Has 10 uses. 
• Telebrella - Short ranged teleportation device that will teleport Wagstaff to the nearest Telipad assuming the player is within range. The Telebrella has a limited range away from the receiving Telipad where it can be used. If the player ventures too far away from a Telipad, they can not teleport. The light on top of the device indicates how far away the player is from a Telipad, glowing green when close but will begin to blink and blink faster as the player gets too far away, along with a sound accompanying each blink. If the light is completely dim and makes no noise, the player is too far away and must get closer to the Telipad before it can be used. 
• Telipad - The receiver pad for the Telebrella that is placed on the ground. Wagstaff will teleport to the nearest Telipad when using a Telebrella and is close enough.  

Disadvantages

Wagstaff is nearsighted, which means that without his goggles everything around him will be blurred. Staying warm and keeping sanity up may be difficult as goggles take up the head slot and are required to be worn at all times if the player wants to see clearly. Also, he will have different examination quotes for objects if he is not wearing goggles. He also has a "delicate stomach", and will take damage from eating raw food.^{[Verification Needed]}

Trivia

• Wagstaff had sound files added in the Hamlet Early Access February 27, 2019 update. They were removed in the March 18th, 2019 update.

• Wagstaff was officially added to the Early Access beta branch on April 18, 2019, alongside Wheeler.

• When Wagstaff is damaged, his appearance and voice will be distorted. The more damaged he is, the most distorted he will become. In Wagstaff's code, this is referred to as "outofworldprojected", which may suggest Wagstaff is actually projecting an image of himself into The Constant rather than physically being there. .
