Revision as of 19:42, 9 February 2020

Year of the Carrat is an event in Don't Starve Together that began on January 23 2020.[1] It is inspired by the Chinese Year of the Rat, which started on January 25, 2020 and ends on February 11, 2021. 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, and Year of the Pig King events, which came in the years before, and shares mechanics with them, such as the Offerings crafting tab, and most craftable 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 Carrat in the World Customization menu.

Carrat Shrine Carrat Shrine

Wilson Portrait
“What to make...”

–Wilson

The Carrat Shrine is a craftable Structure located in the Structures Tab, and requires 8 Gold Nuggets and 2 Boards to craft. It is always available to craft and does not require prototyping.

Offering a Carrot or Seeds to the Carrat Shrine will grant players access to the Offerings Tab where they are able to acquire event-specific items using Lucky Gold Nuggets.

Medium Red Pouch yotc Lucky Gold Nugget

–WX-78, when examining a Lucky Gold Nugget.

Lucky Gold Nuggets are used to acquire items from the Offerings Tab and can be obtained from Red Pouches offered by a Carrat after a Carrat Race.

Icon Offerings Offerings Tab

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

Starting Point Map Icon Carrat Race

Competing in a Carrat is the only method of obtaining Lucky Gold Nuggets during the event. It can be initiated by placing a Carrat at a Starting Point and by activating the bell. The race can be started at any moment.

When the race start, 3 Charlie's Carrats appear as competitors if only one carrat entered the race. All competitors run to the closest Checkpoint in range and keep going until all checkpoints have been visited by all competitors. The race finishes when all competitors reach a Finish Line.

Once per day, competitors bring back a Red Pouch to their owner. The winning Carrat receives a large Red Pouch with 2 to 12 Lucky Gold Nuggets, depending on the length of the race, with 1 extra Lucky Gold Nugget every 4.5 tiles. All other competitors receive a small Red Pouch 1 Lucky Gold Nugget.

Carrat

Wendy Portrait
“I despise how it skitters...”

–Wendy

The Carrat is a Mob exclusive to Don't Starve Together, introduced in Return of Them. It is found in the Lunar Island Biome on the Lunar Island. It first takes on the appearance of an unpicked Carrot and reveals itself upon being picked. A Carrat can be obtained in the Inventory either by catching it with a Trap or by using a Shovel on the planted form, which will stun it for a short while and allow it to be picked up.

During the Year of the Carrat, Carrat can be bought from Carrat Shrine with 4 Gold Nugget. Carrat can also appear in the back of Beefalo, with a 33% chance every night per Beefalo Herd. The Carrat will unmount the Beefalo to eat nearby seeds and then mount another Beefalo. The Carrat is dropped when the Beefalo dies.

Carrats can compete in Carrat Races. Their performance in the race is defined by 4 skills, each skill is rated on a scale from 0 point to 5 points as displayed by the Carrat Scale.

  • Carrat Scale Speed
    The Speed skill increases the speed of a Carrat, from 5 up to 7. The Carrat also gains a random bonus of up to 1 speed at the beginning of each race.
  • Carrat Scale Endurance
    The Endurance skill increases the time a Carrat can run without pause, from 2-4 seconds up to 22-24 secondes. A pause lasts 2-3 seconds. Carrats with 0 Endurance have a 10% chance to sleep 3-6 seconds after each pause.
  • Carrat Scale Reflex
    The Reflex skill reduces the reaction time at the start of the race, from 2-4 seconds down to 0 seconds. Carrats with 0 Reflex start the race being stunned for 4-5 seconds.
  • Carrat Scale Navigation
    The Navigation skill reduces the angle deviation from the objective from 0-100° down to 0-30°. Carrats with 0 Navigation have a chance to returns to a point they already visited.

Naturally spawned Carrats start with 5 randomly distributed points, while Carrats bought from a Carrat Shrine spawn with only 3 points. Carrats randomly lose 1 or 2 points every night, unless they have been training the same day. Carrat skills cannot go below the Carrat's initial skill points.

Carrats change their color when eating Seeds. Crop Seeds give a specific color, while regular Seeds give a random color. The table below resumes the color associated with each of the Seeds.

Color Seeds
Normal Carrot Seeds (Seeds 12.5%)
Blue Watermelon Seeds (Seeds 12.5%)
Brown Onion Seeds Potato Seeds (Seeds 12.5%)
Green Asparagus Seeds Durian Seeds (Seeds 12.5%)
Pink Dragon Fruit Seeds Pomegranate Seeds Toma Root Seeds Pepper Seeds (Seeds 12.5%)
Purple Eggplant Seeds (Seeds 12.5%)

This bonus is increased if there are more players participating in the vicinity (wearing a costume piece and dancing).
