Meet the new Wolfgang in Don't Starve Together! He may have lost his speed, but in this Wolfgang Rework he got several new perks and toys to play with, all of which I'll go over, as well as his backstory that gives further hints at how, or rather, WHY, he ended up in the Constant.

I dont know why salandrak is not popular as other dst youtuber. He's content is awesome and useful for both new players and experienced one at same time. 🤔
Dunno! I think I'm more popular than some, but less than others. Tis the nature of the internet I guess!!
I know! Sometimes the internet is strange. Long live Salendrak!
@@CannonClasher55 😊
Beardful canadian cousin just get the spotlight, while green wolf and true dragon gamer are make better stuff than scamming artist.
@@salendrak All you need is some kerfuffle.....
How this man isn’t one of the most popular DST creators is beyond me. My only complaint with your channel is that there isn’t more content I’d happily take as many videos as others like Beard777 does, I wish you’d maybe put relevant numbers in text when talking in video so stat nerds could easily look at it, but overall your content is amazing. I’ll be here to watch for as long as you make DST content like this. Have a good day!
Hahah - thanks! Sadly real-world duties prevent me from pumping out videos as often as I would like, but hopefully as my kids get a bit older and more self-sufficient I'll be able to publish more often. Also, as I start to do more DST specific content (rather than Single Player DLCs) who knows - maybe I'll have a boom in channel growth! Fingers crossed!!
@@salendrak hopefully! Just wanted to make it clear that I’m definitely not pushing for an increase in content if it would make anything else suffer, though you don’t need an internet random to tell you that. Just a thing I’ve seen happen to lots of my favourite smallish KZheadrs over the years, be sure to only produce content as long as it’s rewarding (or a necessary part of your income of course). I’m not in a position to give KZhead advice but I thought it had a chance of being useful anyway. I know you probably get this a lot, but from experience I can say that while you’re looking forward to later, also enjoy the age your kids are at now. They’ll never be the same age again. Well, didn’t mean to turn that into a lecture there, sorry for that. TL;DR don’t stress yourself out when you inevitably get people loving your content. Have a good one 👍
Gem dumbbell clearly has one purple gem on either end. But only requires one gem to craft. What is this witchcraft?! Great video as always. Makes me want to try Wolfgang for the next dedicated server refresh, whenever that will be. :)
I was thinking that too! Also, how is it that the gym comes with two sacks of potatoes that produce potatoes when hammered, yet no potatoes are used when making the gym? Personally I think the sacks of potatoes should have been crafted separately, using, potatoes!
@@salendrak So Wolfgang is just making potatoes out of thin air! This is disturbing information. Tho, he could solve world hunger by making gyms and *hammering sacks of potatoes*
@@LeppisiKeppis Also one method to kick-start your potato farming!
He's so strong, that he broke the purple gem into two.
@@OfficialThatOneGuy Right?! Also, every character can carry full stacks of rocks, gold, gems, etc. But only Wolfgang has the might to lift...dumbbells. It's like they're MAGIC or something!!
Great video
Thanks!
Rip Wolfgang
Nah - he's gonna be juuuuust fiiiine!
@@salendrak nope
Wolfgang is now better
@@superguy9834 Pros of the new update: - Doesn't eat as much. That's it. Cons of the new update: - Having to be afk in one spot to bulk up (dumbbells) - The arguably worse: not having to be afk, but still in one spot, but having to click over and over and over again to bulk up. And you can't spam click either, you have to be precise. - Tam-o-shanter is not effective for you in the night time, get fucked I guess - Oh but no penatly for marble suit - wooow. The thing only viable in like 1 fight. And which wasn't even a problem before, since Wolf had a speed buff anyway. Wow. All in all: Bad design.
@@VG-fk6nk The pros are much more... and the fact you put the Marble Suit as a con says a lot. 1: Faster resource gathering 2: Less hunger issues 3: consistent DPS in boss fights 4: Fixes the "infinite" Wolfgang issue from Hunger management restoring Health as well. 5: Able to use one of the best armor pieces without penalty 6: Able to use the Piggyback without penalty Cons 1: No speed Neutrals 1: Being AFK to get Mighty... means waiting through Night is a free Mighty Refill. 2: Want to skip being AFK and get Mighty fast? Minigame. The ultimate pro: Mightyness isn't a free power anymore, it fits in the game like everything else rather then just being have a bigger farm then normal.
Thanks for this good informational video. :)
Happy to be of service!!
Wow. I really need to give this a go!
It's all pretty fun if you ask me!!
For me Wolfgang feels better after the update. Normal movement with Marble suit and Piggyback is a lot of help for casual solo players like myself. I really liked the speed boost, but it never really fit the ~highest health and ~highest damage character. Way I see it they turned him into the goto solo character, which I assume a lot of the more experienced players don't like. But for hardcore players now there's Wanda for high damage, and she does require skill or at least experience to play well.
I still think it would have been VERY fitting to put the speed boost on Wimpy form, or at least give some perk for being wimpy, rather than having it be strictly worse than the other forms.
I honestly don’t think that the speed removal was that big of a deal, like before it would matter because back then the only characters who had built in speed were tin can and Wolfgang, now every other character has some sort of movement speed benefit. (Wormwood, Wortox, Wanda, Walter White, Webley, Wesley, Woodie, Wurt if I recall correctly)
And EVERYONE can get a beefalo!
well he doesn't leg workout so I guess it's ok to remove movmeent speed boost.
@@eggxecution Moral of the story - don't skip leg day! Somewhat related, I've always preferred deadlifts over squats 😆
oh you playing another game 😮 how cool, you may be a gamer in one day-! anyway remember me? about your terraria tips is helping me
Yup - channel is mostly Don't Starve and Terraria. Might add RimWorld soon too!
Great video again! I love the new Wolfgang. I might play him a lot more now…
Ditto!! I think he's WAY more interesting now!
wolfgang rework is the final straw that causes me to not play DST anymore, back to single player. Every character is getting cluttered down with a character-specific crafting tab and a nice simple mechanic has just gone out the window.
Well good news - you can always stick with the vanilla characters in single player, and if you want to try the new versions, just hop into DST! It's nice to have both options!
Finally Wolfgang won't eat as much as... A gang of wolves
yuk yuk yuk 😆
Im a wendy main, i still don't like people praising this refresh as a buff. It's more of a chore with mini perks like walter My main drawbacks with it though is the other good Wolfgang players being drawned out of him because of the "more beginner friendly update/less raidboss oriented nerfs" if nobody picks him who'll clean my ruins now and kills dfly :v I can only solo bee queen for now
Wanda 😆 I'm still a bit on the fence as to whether or not I think it was overall a buff or a nerf, and generally lean towards being a slight nerf but overall making him a more balanced and dynamic character. Obviously it's a hot topic with lots of differing opinions, but all thing considered I like the new Wolfgang more than the old one, and the whole workout / dumbbells things really isn't very intrusive at all in my view.
the fact that this was a month ago hopefully means no more of this title theme soon
Right?! It was kind of fun at first, but now it's just blech!
@@salendrak it was just a cool theme until it overrided the winter's feast theme, then it becomes personal
@@Imperio_Otomano_the_realest Oh totally - I really missed not having the Winter's Feast music all season!
Does this update applies to single player Don't Starve too?
Nope! It is extremely rare for anything added to dsst to get added to single-player as well.
@@salendrak aw thats too bad, thanks for the response though!
I like him more now tbh great video also still waiting for that next wagstaff video when does it come?
Chances are it will be next - I'm pretty excited to do adventure mode too!!
Some tweaks are needed, but i like the rework overall, actually changes how you play somewhat instead of just adding stuff for the survivor.
I pretty much agree with that. Dumbbells weapon durability needs a definite tweak, as other than maybe throwing the regular dumbbells for kick and giggles, they're all useless as weapons.

@@Buglin_Burger7878 Marble suit is useful in Antlion fight. For everything else (on average) Football Helmet + Backpack is the superior combo. Your "pros": 1. Faster how? The 1% one-hit thing? wow. Such fast, much gather. Or you mean he chops faster with the tools when mighty, but using more durability? I'll pass it to the "Neutral" list. 2. Not as reliable on food. But fewer issues? No. Standard. 3. Consistent, up until you lose mightiness. Then what? Call the boss over, reason with him for a quick 5 minute break, so you can pump weights? Get real. 4. What? 5. La-di-da, we covered this. Marble is not useful, outside 1 fight- Antlion. 6. And by the way, both for the Armor and the Pig-Backpack: His previous speed mitigated both these "issues" ... Cons: 1. Correct, no more speed. 2. Having to be AFK. YOU might think it's ok to be AFK, but that's bad game design. You are meant to PLAY the game, not chill on your phone while the game "happens". Not to mention that YOU might not have shit to do in the night, but more experienced players do. Making them sit and wait for their character to be their character is *BAD GAME DESIGN*. 3. And the "minigame" is worse than being AFK. Not only does the player need to sit in one spot, they also have to mind-numbingly click. But not rapid-fire click, mind you. No, no. A slow, rhythmic click. Fuck me, it's so bad. Mightiness was NEVER "free". It came at the cost of VAST amounts of food. And you needed both the skill and knowledge to both aquire the food AND know when to use it. Now it's all about being afk or "herp, derp, slow click for a minute". That's bad game design. So bad.
@@VG-fk6nk Sounds to me like you're just salty, to be honest 😆
And does he still have 2x hunger drain ?
Nope! I'm not sure what exactly his hunger drain is now, but I think it's a flat 10% more than baseline characters.
@@salendrak and it's still tied to his mighty meter don't forget. So if he is hungry his meter drains stupid fast and if he is full it drains slower...kinda dumb if you ask me.. Wolfgang might still be able to rush faster than before but it would need some RNG help, like finding walking cane Day 1 and getting a magi asap.
@@Awesum Oh, his hunger vs might mechanics definitely mix up the way you keep him fed. I've been playing a solo world with him, and rarely make full crock-pot dishes, but instead keep snacking on smaller food items. Even crop seeds work really well!
@@salendrak yeah no doubt, a full stomach on wimpy feels like it lasts forever..which is weird cause I find myself wimpy more than mighty...not cause I can't manage it but because "working out" kills my flow and I prefer to keep going..then it bites me in the butt when I find myself in a bad situation..
peep the horror
😱
why are people so upset about this, the 25% speed wasn't even that important even for people rushing fuelweaver and shit like that, wolfgang can carry the marble statues really fast
Honestly, I suspect it's just a very vocal minority that's really upset about it. Most people are fine with the changes.
Mah nigga Sal is the best
😁
People no longer in the wolf gang 85% WHERES MY SPEED 10% I CANT AFFORD TO MAKE THE CRAFTS 5% WHAT ABOUT THE POOR SPEED RUNNERS
lol - basically! 😆

@@kajnake5905 Not really: mods. But then, we shouldn't need mods to fix the game design fuckups of the developers.
@@VG-fk6nk get that beta mindset out of your system. Mess around with new wolfie, you cant beat klaus day 1 but any amount of resources will get you stocked day 15 And then youll be able to beat klaus faster than ever before thanks to less food breaks and consistent 2x dmg not tied to your meatball bar

Wolfgang do be a hungry man!!
@@salendrak Wolfgang? no I was wurt
@@peashootergaming3489 😱
This is a great update, especialy because I hate food in don't starve.
Have you heard the message of our lord and saviour - bacon and eggs? 😆
I really like the new rework but he could use some more downsides
I dunno - the forums were a chaotic riot that week or so leading up the the rework. If they had added any additional drawbacks or nerfs it would have been all out war!! 😆
@@salendrak year probably but characters need big downsides to define their playstyle (it helps at least)
@@BeniaminG_ yeah I agree, Wendy needs a some huge nerfs, Wigfrid needs some real downsides, Wicker needs more downsides too and let's not forget WX and Webber. I very much dislike the update and am pretty bored playing Wolfgang now compared to playing him in my longest world before..RIP Wolf.
