Okay so everything I said about raw and cooked-over-a-fire food being bad ceases to apply in DST because now you can’t eat them at all, but you can at least avoid starving to death by eating ratatouille, fistfuls of jam, butter muffins, and kabobs. It’s still a good idea to carry around eggs, honey, and mushrooms/carrots/cactus flesh once you have easy sources of those established.
Cooking a bunch of the same dish at once is less of a concern now, since you can feed it to your friends instead of eating nothing but honey ham for a week.
In DST, Monster Tartare now takes away sanity and health just like Monster Lasagna, but has the same recipe or very similar rather than needing an egg or a vegetable and gives twice as much hunger. This at least explains why every other character except Webber hates it. Fresh Fruit Crepes are about the same, and the other two recipes don’t exist in DST. There’s a bunch of new Warly-exclusive recipes but I don’t know them very well yet. You still have to use Warly’s crockpot to make Warly’s dishes! Don’t put your dragonfruit and pepper salad in a normal crockpot and end up with dragonpie like I did!
Cooked green mushrooms are no longer an option for sanity, and I don’t think jerky is either. If you want to regain sanity from food, you’ll need honey for either Taffy or Pumpkin Cookies, the latter of which are more filling and don’t take off health but do require a pumpkin. Start a nice healthy bee farm, pick a fight with a swarm of wild bees, or risk your neck hammering the Bee Queen’s hive a couple times and hoping she doesn’t emerge before you get some honey splashes, in order of the recklessness level required.
One easy way to get filler ingredients as long as it isn’t winter: Find a field of flowers or make a flower garden, and punch butterflies. If there’s a Wortox around, bring him along on the butterfly-punching so he can collect the souls.
If it is winter, make a golden pickaxe and mine every pengull glacier you see. Now you can use ice as a filler instead of butterflies.
Learn to use a boomerang on birds. They drop a morsel half the time, opening many meat-based paths. Don’t stand in a cluttered area when you’re chucking the boomerang around, and start holding the spacebar down as soon as it hits your target mob. If your connection or your reflexes are still too slow to avoid hitting yourself in the face, use an ice staff to freeze birds in one hit and then attack them with a melee weapon; an axe or pickaxe will kill them immediately.
Similarly, moleworms can be baited by dropping any mineral item on the ground and then you can attack them with a melee weapon while they’re sniffing at a piece of flint, and they always drop morsels. You can also hit live ones with a hammer and boil them alive with cactus or stone fruit and some veggie fillers for guacamole, though that always kinda wigs me out.
Wormwood is your new best friend because they can cover your base in a variety of fruits and vegetables virtually for free. Their bramble suit also allows you, them, or anyone else on the server to go pick every cactus in the desert without a scratch, and cacti are plentiful and grow back fairly fast in any season.
Never leave the base without your crockpot! It is your best friend, your saviour, your other half! You will probably starve if you run out of food without it while you’re far from a base.
