Year of the Beefalo

Exclusive to:

Year of the Beefalo
Dates	2021: Feb 4 - Mar 11
Developer	Klei Entertainment
Preceded by	Year of the Carrat
Succeeded by	Year of the Catcoon

Year of the Beefalo is an event in Don't Starve Together that began in February 4th, 2021. It is inspired by the Chinese Year of the Ox, which starts on February 12, 2021 and ends on January 31, 2022. In the Chinese zodiac, each year is related to an animal in a 12-year cycle.

It is similar to the Year of the Gobbler, Year of the Varg, Year of the Pig King, and Year of the Carrat events, which came in the years before, and shares mechanics with them, such as the Offerings crafting filter, and most crafted items from those events. However, there are several additions and differences to be implemented into this event. Players can revisit this event by setting Events to Year of the Beefalo in the World Customization menu.

During the official Year of the Beefalo event, the Festive Saddle Skin was given to players upon opening the game.

Items can be obtained from the Offerings Filter when standing next to an activated Beefalo Shrine, each of them having a different function. These items cannot be prototyped; in order to craft an item under this filter, the player must always be near a Beefalo Shrine.

Beefalo Bell

Beefalo Pageant

Competing in a Beefalo Pageant is the only method of obtaining Lucky Gold Nuggets during the event. It can be initiated by hitching a Beefalo at a Beefalo Stage and talking to the judge at the Judge's Booth during the day. Only one contest can occur each day. You need at least 4 beefalo stages to start the pageant. If there are not enough players to Beefalo Stages, the extra stages will be occupied with Merm and Pig competitors with their own Beefalo. To initiate a pageant, all participating players have to hitch their beefalo to a Beefalo Stage. Beefalo cannot be hitched to anything if they are in heat. Once all participating beefalos are hitched, a player has to activate the Judge's Booth.

Once the contest begins, the Judge will tell the contestants what kind of beefalo he is looking for to be the winner. Then, the players choose the beefalo they believe matches the Judge's criteria. They only have a set amount of time to choose. Players choose by clicking on the beefalo or beefalo's stage, which places a ribbon. The choice is not set until the timer ends, so players are free to make multiple attempts to choose, but can only choose one.

After the players choose the beefalo they think will win, the Judge will go through the winners starting from third place up to first. The player wins a large Red Pouch if they choose the first place beefalo. Players who do not win will receive a small Red Pouch. The Judge will also give out Pattern Scraps, the amount of which matching the total amount of participants.

Pattern Scraps can be acquired in exchange for 5 Lucky Gold Nuggets in the Offerings Filter. Also, random scraps are given out by the Judge after a Beefalo pageant. There are three types: Fearsome, Formal And Festive. They are to be put into a Sewing Machine in various combinations to produce Costume Patterns. If the scrap combination is invalid, the machine will return all the scraps placed inside. The following table shows the possible valid combinations.

Costume Patterns operate similarly to Blueprints. The player can right click on the Pattern to learn a new set of Beefalo Skins, as well as produce one Beefalo Doll wearing the matching skin set. New Patterns learned will make a pop-up appear in the upper-left corner of the screen, in a similar manner to the pop-up that notifies players of an in-game skin drop. The player can still right-click patterns even after learning them to continue acquiring Beefalo Dolls.

The Beefalo Skins can be accessed at the Grooming Station. The skin selection screen is the same as the Wardrobe. For instance, Skin presets can be saved.

Beefalo Skins differ from other skins in that they are not found in the Curio Cabinet. They are only accessible in-game, and are not remembered across games; they have to be re-learned in each game like other tiered crafts. All Beefalo Skins are of the exclusive Complimentary rarity. They cannot be bought with real monies, woven, traded, or sold on the Marketplace.

Trivia

• The song that plays while players choose a beefalo is a musical reference to the song "Think!" from the show Jeopardy!. This is compounded by the naming of the sound file, which includes the words "WlexWrebek", a reference to the late Jeopardy! host Alex Trebek.
• The line "Well well well, lemme get a look at the menagerie." is likely a reference to one of Spinel's lines from Steven Universe: The Movie.
• If you enable this event on DST servers now, there will be no such thing as Beefalo Grooming Station KIt
