In DST there are tons of different types of farms. In this video, I argue my case for what I believe to be the overall best farm in the game. Harvesting honey in Spring: • Harvesting Honey in Sp...
Important Note(s)/Correction(s): 1. Like mentioned in the video, this is my opinion. Depending on your priorities, character or playstyle, you may find more value in other food farms than the one I described. 2. Since the behavior of bees changes throughout the seasons, I should have mentioned Winter and Spring. Even though bees will stop actively producing honey during winter, the honey farm provides so much food and honey takes such a long time to spoil that simply doing two harvests in a row or spending the day harvesting honey once before winter will produce more than enough honey to keep you fed for the entire season. Bees become hostile during spring, but the honey farm still works since you're moving so quickly that they still can't catch up to you (check the link in the description for proof of this). 3. This video is strictly comparing farms that produce food resources. In the broader sense, farms can produce much more than consumables, however it becomes very difficult to compare the value of food items (that basically boil down to hunger, health, sanity and spoilage time) to non-food resources. 4. @2:15 I state that Jelly Salad is a goody, but this is not true. Jelly Salad is considered meat which means Wurt cannot eat it. Thanks to chrisgw5360 for pointing this out. 5. After reading some comments about honey as an ingredient for Banana Shakes and reviewing the video, I think I should clarify that honey is not required to make this crockpot dish. You can use other things like berries, kelp or even twigs instead. However the reason I proposed using honey instead is because, with the honey farm featured in this video, IMO honey is cheaper than all of those other fillers including twigs considering you can get 80+ per day by spending just 30 seconds picking the stuff.
I really found funny how raw honey is just... a slop of honey, the survivors are litetally carrying it not even in a jar, in their pockets, and going Winnie Pooh style feasting.
I do agree 100%. I always build bee boxes because honey has so much value, and can help character that can struggle with the classic "meals" (warly, woormwood, wurt)
I have always hated the spoilage, that's why honey farm is my favorite. On top of that, honey is simply too good to be true, being a filler and a sanity crackpot food. Only problem is, that the farm needs to be somehow away from the main base area, or else bees will be rather annoying in spring.
Lmaoo true, just remember to separate the stone fruit stacks to reduce lag. It’s also a super easy way of getting stones, and if you wanna carry them around, they still fill hunger nicely and restore 3 hp when cooked. Plus infinite spoilage unless needed, and have a value of 1 veggie in a crockpot
It takes too much time to constantly mine them tbh. My late-game setup is always just a honey farm. It's he best :) Pick Pick Pick for a couple days and stack your fridges and you'll be good for a season or two.
Really love your content, whenever I watch any of these vids I find myself with better understanding of the game and it's easier for me to survive!! thanks
Interesting. I think I have a really weird grudge against low maintenance farms due to the nature of Don't Starve. Really cool to see all these methods, though; I never knew about that kelp-reaper farm.
My honey farm is built a little different. I have enough boxes in my farm so that I can get almost five stacks of honey in one harvest. I ususally play solo and all that honey takes forever to spoil, to the point that if I harvest the honey at the start of Winter, I have a source of reliable food for all three stats. The amount of honey I get will usually last a solo player up until about mid Autumn if harvested early Winter.
As wigfrid my fav farm is the dev graveyard werepig blender but for everyone else i agree on honey it's been my go to since i started playing in 2018. Yea cooking takes time but in late game winters i have nothing better to do than mass produce dishes for the next 1-5 years
honey is op for Wanda taffy is only honey and gives extra hunger because its Wandas favorite and it won't hurt you because of Wandas health system it's also an endless amount of sanity.
This is so true, I never realised before the sheer fact why I only use my honey farm in 7k days megabase. I never even touch the rest even tho I have plenty of very efficient and high yield setups. Also its such a pleasure to collect honey at the start of winter since bee's are not coming out that season, you don't have to bother even kiting one of the easiest enemies to kite. #beeboxop
Agree 👍 honey is very cheap and versatile. I am the type of building a lot of bee boxes and only harvest in winter, but your way of using magi and cobble to outrun bees is neat.
I definitely enjoy a honey farm. Forget how good it is, but it is true you can just take and hold onto it. I'll definitely keep this in mind. However when I see a juicy berry world, I generally get excited because I know I can get rot fast, without going down to find Toadstool.
I wish you'd talk about unloaded bee boxes. I don't want to have bees near my base because because. Will they produce honey when unloaded? Do they still need flowers if I'll use that method? How many boxes will I need?
My honey farm is just a field of angry beehives that spawned in my world and I play as Wendy and walk past like 6 hives then back into abigail and she kills them all without taking damage, Angry Beehives spawn all 6 bees per day to agro on you as you walk past, and 2 a few seconds later after the daily 6, and I pick up the pile of stingers and honey, only issue is the mass amount of stingers that I have no idea what to do with.
My first idea for the millions of stingers is I empty my inventory and fill it with stacks of 40 stingers and sit in one place and drop them all in the same spot, then I light them on fire, they burn really hot and for quite a while as each pile makes it hotter, it would be an easy thing to use to burn for whatever burning needs one may have, then the ash just blows away in the wind, unless you want it you can just collect it.
Good tip about the banana shakes but you could save the honey There and just straight up use two twigs Because somehow that’s allowed. Lmao And twigs are NOT an issue to obtain at all.
We are trying to play 5 friends game on PC. When we enter the game, it kicks us out after 10 minutes or so. We tried everything but couldn't figure it out. Does anyone have knowledge on this subject?
nice video, but with 1 single gunpowder you can open up Infinite amount of stone fruit. giving all these rocks, thats a plus, and the 1% stone fruit sapling, you dont need to fertilize.
Plus the spoilage is zero till you open them. And you can also use slurtle slime which is cheaper than gunpowder. I do agree honey is still better though, 10 days is a long time to spoil, and you get it fast. But for long time expeditions, and/or cave food source, stone fruit is awesome
Here is a hot take , dried meat is the best food and also a cheaper version of pierogi , soo drying racks are mostly an upgrade, and you can mass produce them due to how many you can put in an ice flingomatic and the best part is that is has a long spoilage time just like pierogi and honey while restoring all stats
you have to constantly work on collecting meat. Once you make your bee boxes you don't have to think anymore just go and collect them, it think honey better
Bee Boxes are my favorite thing to do, even as a Wendy main. It's fun to slaughter spiders with my dead sister, but something about them bees.... I like being able to keep noobies alive that come into the server, and Honey is easy since you dont have to know anything about cooking or preserving for the noobies to live with it (assuming they don't charge Dfly, but that's another problem :P)
How do you deal with wormwood mains who are constantly in bloom? Do you just build the farm more than a screen away? Is that what the walls are for? I find that when I play with wormwoods I can't get the honey farms to work but I've never built one with this partiuclar setup.
I enjoy juicy berry bushes, they can’t regrow all year round true but they have near infinite spoil time as long as you don’t pick them, 2 monster meats and fisting 2 bushes fill you for a day
Is there a way to make this work for blooming Wormwood? Since Wormwood attracts bees while in full bloom, the bees would stop producing honey and just chill by his side. But If you unload the farm, the bees wouldn't produce at max capacity.
my only concern about the honey farm, is the fact that you waste more silk in Bug nets in order to get the bees and the butterflies for flowers, but after all is worted
I mean for 10 hives you just need 8 silk. And for the butterfly’s you’ll need an additional 12. All in all 20 silk really isn’t that much, you can easily get that early by breaking 8 level 1 spider dens
surprised you never brought up the anenemy + volt goat farm. Its difficult to set up, but as long as you visit it regularly, you get free meat and volt goat horns for absolutely nothing
Nothing really beats kelp farm. Just run up hold space and you are done farming filler/vegies for best healing in the game pierogi. Just get meat from somewhere. Also with bee farm you need to feed flingo which is annoying in summer.
The fact that there are so many ways to obtain mass amounts of food really makes crop farming seem obsolete. I have always disliked the farm plots that were added since it nerfed bunnyman drops and wickers OG books just to appeal to newer players.
Lardee if you have played Ds then i think we both know that a actually good farm is just 30 seeds very much manure and lile eight improved farms. Why is this good? Because you can fully grow a plant with just six or less manure plus if its raining plants will grow too
Bee farms, unless late game, is just not very useful for me. I get enough filler by surviving, enough veggies through kelp, and enough meat through occasional kills and maybe doing some hunts every once in a while. Generally, I prefer a meat farm, as meat is just extremely versatile. Pig farms are my go to nowadays. But I’m more inclined to maybe build honey farm now.
Ok I know its a joke but winter only lasts 15 days and this honey farm produces 80 per harvest to sustain a player for 10 days, as long as you harvest once a couple days before winter you'll have another harvest ready when necessary in winter
The only real flaw of a honey farm is probably the initial cost and effort of building it, but hey, spend like 2 or 3 days on that and you effectively solve hunger as an issue!
but i agree that honey is the best farm in dst .....if the server can handIe the Ioad from many bees. the big servers i do struggIe when we put ~40 bee farms xD
good point that there is Iow cost to eating honey. when i have other food Iike meaty stew, the cost to that is basicaIIy grass/rope since it has to come from bundIe
It's joke? Bait for comments? Ok, then I'll fall for that bait and leave a comment. I understand that you need to boost the channel by making controversial statements so that people discuss them in the comments, but aren't you afraid that such things will eventually reduce the volume of your audience?
@@uglybeast650 Often on RU-vid, authors use a technique where they make deliberately dubious statements knowing that people will not be able to pass by and will start arguing in the comments.
@@fabianvilla8474 bot? Ussualy ai use for comercial or political porpes. What reason to use then for video where man tell about how he play in game? Do you name all people "bot", if can't understand them?
