Every time I play DST with my friends, I say, “okay, let’s be organized about this” on day one. By winter the base is the whimsical equivalent of a house with a couch in the yard.
Yeah, playing with other people can be like herding cats, and makes it really hard to keep things organized LOL
Its da law
@@DaPathFinder No, It's DE WAY!
One of the best and most frustrating things about don't starve is that it tells you almost nothing. These videos are truly helpful. Keep up the good work.
Well said! Learning can be a big part of the fun, but it can also be quite frustrating depending on whether you like that sort of thing or it drives you crazy!
It's extremely non-beginner friendly, but once you get most of the game down, it gets WAYYY easier.
Most games are like that, I actually hate to learn how to play a game from KZhead/guides/walkthroughs, games should be intuitive and informative so we can just play the game and find out about all the game has just by playing it. I hate the phrase "the game doesn't hold your hand" that's overly used by fanbois to defend a game that needs youtube every damn time to find out what is what and how is how.
@@T1k3mys0n It isn't overused. The entire point is to say it's a game that requires you to understand it to play and is hard to play at the beginning That doesn't scream overused
My favorite thing is the things you think are useless are necessary. Like birdcages.
I’m constantly coming back to this video soo much high quality knowledge
Same, I've watched it and taken notes at least 3 times.
dude same
This tutorial was shown to my 6 Year Old Little Sister who has been crazy at this game. The fact that a 6 Year Olds base is far better than I could have ever done first starting out is beyond me. Thanks for the great vid!
Wow - sounds like she's quite a lot more accomplished at this game than my kids! They gotta step up their games!!
child prodigy
yo this guide was goood , underrated channel
Thanks!!
Yes VeRy tRue thiS Channel Is GUD
Incredibly high quality, reasonably condensed but still entertaining, very well bookmarked, very well organized. It's hard to imagine a better Don't Starve guide than this.
Wow - thanks!! I tried to design these guides so they would be a resource that people would want to come back to whenever needed to brush up on the various topics covered. Seems to be working!
I just got the dont starve for my switch so much knowledge im glad I stumbled on this channel keep up the good work man
Glad I could help!
"Get pig houses" Webber mains:no I don't think I will
Right?! LOL
What about wurt mains
You make it look so easy. I have had the game for a few weeks. The farthest I made it was to the 1st day of winter. I can't seem to work fast enough. And it takes me forever to figure out where each recipe that I want to make is located and takes me forever to do that too. I think I feel even more overwhelmed after watching the video! Lots of great info, but there is so much attention to detail involved in playing this game and the game time moves fast.
Yup - that's all part of the learning curve! As you get more experience though prioritizing various tasks will become second nature. It can take a while to get to that point though, and I have a lot of time spent in this game!
Honestly, you deserve a lot more subscribers than you already have. Your voice gives a friendly vibe, which is relaxing, and your videos are high quality.
Thank you! 😊
Me and my boyfriend just started playing DST and we were getting frustrated from not understanding how anything worked. So thanks for this I'm going to watch it again!
Yeah, if you go in cold turkey, this game can be really frustrating! Keep me posted on how your progress goes now that you have some knowledge under your belt, and let me know if you have any questions!
What a solid series on a game. Great work my guy. Love this.
Thanks!!
I must admit that there was a kind of charm to the chaotic clustered bases I used to make. Running around frantically trying to remember where everything was can be a fun experience, especially during the summer season.
That reminds me of my first world in Terraria. Impossible to find anything!
These videos are really well put together. I'm on a long hiatus from Don't Starve but since Klei is constantly updating and adding new versions I'm always looking forward to getting back to it. These videos are GREAT!
Thanks - glad you like them! The game really is a classic. I often take an extended hiatus too, but always come back at some point and really enjoy it!
I just had to rewatch some parts of this again for tips. I play regular DS and I've not gotten the hang of surviving for too long yet. Doesn't help that I leave it for weeks at a time before I come back to it.
Yeah, every time I come back to a world after not playing it for a while, I have to spend some time figuring out what all was going on again. Or I just start a new world LOL - exploring and getting established is honestly my favorite part of the game!!
My ears are steaming like a crockpot. So much information for a new player, yet so helpful.
Don't blow you lid with information overload!!
I wish I had this video when I started playing :P good stuff you have there! Maybe you would like to use the mod Geometric Placement. Lets you build structures in a grid
Thanks man - I really appreciate that! I've toyed with the idea of using a geometric placement mod, but to be completely honest, I find the grid-line overlay a bit too immersion breaking, and I kind of like the fact that without it there's always at least a little bit of chaos to all your best efforts to impose a bit of order into the world :P
@@salendrak that is an interesting way to think!!
Played don't starve years ago didn't get far. Decided one day recently I wanted to play put about 60 hours into it the past month blind and now been devouring information but some stuff is so old.. thank you for your more recent guides!
Awesome - that's why I made them!! 😁
hands down best video ive seen out of all the guides. lots of mechanics simply put one by one
Thanks! Let me know what you think of my food guide once it's up - I'm working on posting it right now!! 👍
Brother your videos are amazing, I love it. I don't speak English as my primary language, but your way of speak and make the video fun makes me feel comfortable watching your videos.
I appreciate that - thanks!!
A perfect follow up to your first video
Great tutorials - thanks for making them, keep up the good work!
My pleasure - glad you're enjoying them!
This guide is awesome, thanks. I struggle a lot with games that don't set goals for me, so even tho surviving was easy I felt bored and aimless, but this helped me a ton, now I know what my goals and milestones have to be.
Yeah, Don't Starve is definitely one of those games that does nothing to hold your hand and point you in the right direction. I think a lot of new players get bored just trying to survive until the next season with no idea of what else there is to do!
Oh yes. This only improved my rigid style. Thank you again~
Any time!!
I'm going to use your inventory system. It's elegant. Thanks for uploading these guides, they're useful for me.
I can't NOT use my inventory system anymore. Makes it really hard to play with other people in DST LOL
Honestly, haven't been playing DS due to school lately. But I find myself coming back to your videos simply because of how well-made and entertaining they are! Thank you, my survival days have substantially increased since watching your guides. Can't wait for Shipwrecked/Hamlet guide videos (if you're planning on them)
Yup - Shipwrecked and eventually Hamlet guides will get made at some point!! They probably won't be quite as detailed as the Reign of Giants guides have been, but I definitely do plan to cover those DLCs eventually!
These are nice vids! I have just started playing again after yrs, and its a good refresher. I had a couple saves back in the day at 300+ days, but i have forgot alot lol.
It's kind of fun playing the game for the first time again I bet!!
Wow, this video was pretty helpful, the only problem I have tho is to decide a place to live. Normally I set up near beefalos but sometimes they can be pretty far from everything like PK and swamp. But anyways, this series taught me a lot of things I should be aware about, thanks for the good work!
Yeah, I frequently spend a fair bit of time deciding where I want to base too! But overall, wherever I end up, it tends to be just fine!
I wasn't going to watch a guide but since I can't survive the early winter, I search for one and this is the best, thank you!
Be sure to check out my winter guides too! Knowing what to expect really helps so you can prepare for it!
Its crazy to me how much of your DST content i consume and watch on repeat. The structure and your voice is perfect. And this is despite the fact that I've never played the game but I've watch your stuff on repeat so much that i feel like i have played it for months. Great content im looking forward to your terraria vids.
Never played the game?! When are you going to start??? I would be really curious to see how well you do having seen the guides and stuff before even starting to play!
@@salendrak not sure ive been thinking about it but since survival games aren't a genre i usually touch im usually hesitant. But ive been thinking about it. That being said witch version would you recomend
@@oscartome16 Well, as between DS + DLCs vs DST, if you're going to play with friends, then go with DST. If you're just going to be playing alone, I would start with DS+DLCs. But honestly you really can't go wrong with either option.
@@salendrak i see im more of a solo story kinda guy. So i might be giving the solo version a go
I've watch two of your video's now and I literally learned alot, I've started don't starve and I'm on my second month on summer, and your video on how to survive summer surely was informative, although after watching the beginners guide, makes me want to restart, Tysm for these videos!
Nothing wrong with starting a new world even while your original one is still going! Starting over is my favorite stage of the game!!
Thank you so much for this video, this should get 1M views in a couple of months. Just wait until the game is on sale again and you're set!
That'd work for me - fingers crossed!!
Realy solid, well made video. Greetings ;)
Another great episode. Very enjoyable and entertaining. Thanks
😁
Your guides are super useful, I'm new to don't starve and theses helped me alot lol.
Awesome! It's a great game, but really common for new players to give up early on because it can be pretty hard and VERY punishing! But tons of fun once you get past the initial learning curve!
i LOVE YOUR CHANNEL I AM JUST LEARNING ABOUT THIS GAME!!! THANK YOU FOR THIS INVALUABLE TUTORIAL!!! :)
Happy to help!
Got it, a fire pit, a little space next to it for cold fire, a chest near the fire pit, alchemy engine at the right of the fire pit, kitchen in left, bird in near kitchen, bees not too near the base, pigs not too near the base, replanted resources near the base, organized chests at down, trees for night resources (i'll most likely not do that and use beefalo fur or grass). I'll try my best remembering what i just said
Forgot about driers lol, i assume they give good sanity by the description so they'll be important
Looks like a good checklist to me! And yes - drying racks are great! Jerky is a superfood that boosts all your stats. Very useful!
following your episode 1 guide extended my survival time from 7 days to 56 days, learning the 2nd episode should extend that a bit more.
That's awesome! Super glad it helped!!
great info..straight to the point...me gusta
Love your vids man! It is very enjoyable and explained really well for beginners!. You deserve more views and i just Suscribed to your channel! Thank you !
Thanks for the sub!
Thank you for the good training
May it serve you well! 👍
I'm just sitting here rn. Intermittently pausing my game to watch your vids man. Very helpful stuff. Might get it on Playstation for the trophies tho, but playing vanilla on Switch rn.
I think it would be fun if they added achievements to the other version, but sadly I don't think it will happen. Glad you're enjoying the game though!!
@@salendrak Thanks, but you know what man it's really awesome you take the time to reply to these comments. Now to try to get Webber cause we all need spiders in our lives...that don't ruin our day. XD
Ur guides are soo good wtfff. Nice vid. Love this fkin game and I haven’t even played it yet. Only dst
Give it a go!! Similar yet very different experience compared to DST, especially when you add Shipwrecked and/or Hamlet to the mix!
These organization things are really good ideas that I should focus on more. Also, I always thought garden plots were kind of important, but maybe I should focus more on other stuff. Thanks for the pointers!
In single player they're pretty terrible. Take up lots of time and resources for iffy outcomes, so overall not worth it when there are other options that are soooo much better. In DST though it is super easy to mass produce more food from gardening then you'll ever need, and it's more fun too!
@@salendrak true, i played a bit of DST before end usually did full time gardening throughout the growth seasons. The crops were always need for Pierogi and sometimes as fillers. And it's fun with all the mechanics it has there.
I died from you keeping that monster meat in Chester and not the ice box at 3:39
It was only temporary....
Thx for the help !
Sure thing - good luck out there!
Wow, your videos are great!
Thanks - much appreciated!!
I love the 5-point star design. Being able to cook, prototype, organize inventory and get eggs all at night is very useful.
Yup - I've really grown quite fond of that setup!!
@@salendrak The problem I'm having is quickly finding the right location and gathering resources. I have slow food production and I usually die either before the end of my first week or right before winter. Not really sure what I'm doing wrong.
@@afr4y117 It all takes practice and experience, really! In the early game there's usually plenty of food lying around ready to be picked up - seeds, berries, carrots, cactus, etc. Once you have a base set up, a berry patch can be nice, as is a spider nest nearby for monster meat. Being able to convert Monster Meat into Eggs is super nice, and for big meats, set up some pig houses nearby, hunt a koalefant, or go kill some beefalo or tall birds. With experience you'll start to understand where to get the best bang for your time investment, as well as learn how to prioritize all the different and sometimes competing tasks that might need to be handled. Keep at it though!!
@@salendrak Yeah, I guess I should just prioritize relocating all important resources to nearby my base so I can quickly stock up on "critical survival materials" and construct my base.
But it takes me several days to find beefalo which means base building is always delayed.
Thank you very much . Im a noob in this game and i want to become better .Keep the good work
You're very welcome - hope the videos help!!
This video is great! Could you make one about getting supplies/items for different clothing items per season? I have no idea how to get some things.
His first video does that kinda
Let’s goooooooooo. I wanted to learn this since I got the game
Woot woot!!
Nice guide, messed up my base a bit because I placed the berry bushes and grass too close.
Nice thing about those though is you can re-plant them to spread things out!! Might cost you some more manure / rot, but it's not too bad, and worth it to get a layout you enjoy =)
thanks helped a lot
😁
Great tips for organizing the base. That was the hardest part for me so fat :-)
It definitely takes some practice and refinement to find a system that you like. I've made this layout enough times now that I can slap it down pretty fast!
"Unless he starves first." Full hunger, I think ill recover. Wait willow still has burns everything when shes insane what version are you on for that horror to happen.
Don't starve. The character revamps are for don't starve together.
this helped alot thanks (:
You're most very welcome!!
Honestly your channel is great and the guides help a lot keep up the good work
Thanks - comments like this are why I keep at it! 😁
this was great for me i was watching and building my base but i forgot to pause when night was coming and died lol
"Oh, I can just step away for a few minutes. It'll be fine!" /dead Don't worry, I'm sure that's happened to me a time or two, especially playing with kids running around! 😂
@@salendrak good news i made a new base with wendy but did not know that the area was infested with killer bees me and abigail have been at war with them for 4 days we are winning oh and ive reached day 18 the best ive done wish me luck :D
Awesome awesome awesome 👏🏼 😍
Thanks 🤗
"However, gardens are generally considered an inefficient food source." Wicker mains: Looks like someone doesn't want any dragonpie...
Hahah - basically! Wickerbottom can definitely be considered an exception to that general rule 😉
Great storage method.
Thanks! I typically end up making two to three more rows of chests as I accumulate more and more stuff, but the basic method keeps the clutter down and allows me to usually find things pretty quickly!
Nice vid
Not sure if this a Beginner's guide of Don't starve or 2020 ultimate survival guide. XD Nice video btw
Right? Perhaps someday I'll do a comedy / parody video on applying lessons from Don't Starve to real life 😜
thanks so much
Very welcome!!
You are the BEST 🥰
D'awwww - thanks!! 😘
How did I never learn I can shave beefalo what a life change
That wool comes in handy!!
Oh my gosh I forgot that monsterifying the pigmen basically maxes their loot drops.
No no no, it's not "mosterifying", it's "evolving" to their best and highest form! Meat and pigskin!! 😆
Dayuuum!!! Chill😵😵😵😵😵😵
😁
My world spawned with all its level 3 spider dens together in the middle of this intersection I use:)
Free monster meat!!
Right on!
Whoa - you must be, like, a Don't starve gamer!! 😆
@@salendrak a rookie gamer lol
If playing as webber, it's better to setup your base among big bunch of spiders nests, especially when there are lvl 2 and 3's. You'll have a lot of minions close to yourself, protection from bosses and hounds, infinite meat, heal and net sourse.
Yup - he LOVES his many-legged friends! Though be very careful in summer and future autumns, as fire from red hounds will take out the nests (and the forests, and everything else) really fast!
@@salendrak start at autumn and you'll have enough time to get snow turrets or I forgot the name
Tbh, base building and farming is the least of my favorite when playing don't starve. I just love to explore and live like a nomad. Eating whatever I could find and picking any weird items I found but unfortunately my inventory space isn't that much even with backpack and chester. I love fighting random monsters too but I suck at kiting so I've never got really far playing don't starve. I want to play dst so I could leave base building and crafting to other player who love to do that but I don't have a pc. I wish they would release dst on mobile
I find the first couple of weeks of a new world to generally be the most enjoyable time of a playthrough. I love the initial exploration stage!
So my strategy right now is: Watch a video in this series, play with those tips until I die, then watch the next video, repeat over and over until I'm cracked at this game.
Sounds like a solid approach to me!
@@salendrak Also quick question. I found this Maxwell's Door thing. Do I go through it or no?
Bro you gotta teach us the ways of placing stuff in a straight line like that. I feel like after playing minecraft and terraria so much I cant place anything in a straight line in this game.
It's simple! You gotta just either have LOTS of practice, or just use Geometric Placement 😆
@@salendrak um is it a mod?
Should I use the leafy meat farm creator thing as a food source too? Also I think it may help me get past hound attacks but I really dunno if its worth it
I'm not a fan of leafy meat in general, as there are other foods and foods sources that are much better. A patch of eye plants works well against hounds in Spring, but in summer and fall a firehound will burn them up fast!
Wow, that is a lot of micromanagement. Also, what is a good alternative for regaining sanity other than picking flowers or making a garland?
Other (and actually better options) are cooked green caps, cooked cactus flesh, and jerky. Once you get a Tam 'o Shanter maintaining high sanity is really easy!
It's a good guide, but I personally don't use drying racks if it isn't winter, because the jerky restores sanity, and I prefer to be insane to farm the nightmare fuel
A perfectly viable approach! I generally only use jerky as a back-up food for getting patched up after, say, fighting a Deerclops, or getting back to sane when I intentionally go crazy to farm shadow fuel. Although some players like to stay pretty crazy all the time, I get annoyed by the distortion effects and sounds. What can I say - I prefer the cheery world!!
@@salendrak Well, it's true that fighting the deerclops while insane is VERY annoying, but the only negative thing of insanity (apart from shadow creatures, beardlings and beardlords) is that the forest turf during the dusk has got the same color of the shadow creatures. It's almost impossible see them without pointing the cursor on them, but I have pocket edition. There is no way to see the shadow creatures without wasting resources, like using the miner hat during the dusk or making a campfire
@@salendrak oh, an when I rrstore sanity, I generally don't use jerky, because the crock pot meals restore tiny sanity, but if paired with a good ol' tam'o'shanter, I haven't got real problems about sanity. But in winter it was REALLY useful to restore health quickly without wasting hunger points
Speaking of jerky, once I stockpile enough of it if I can’t find enough green caps, I start eating raw small meats to go insane and murder all the beardlings that I’ve captured to farm beard hairs for meat effigy. Eat jerky to restore sanity once I’m done.
@@eddielim3909 it's nightmare fuel, not beard hair. I personally prefer the resurrection amuleth
Can you please also advise where to place the flingomatic? Thanks mate.
Disclaimer - I personally don't like using flingos so I can stay at my main base during the summer. Takes to many to protect everything, and there's still things that can sometimes go wrong. Instead, I prefer to set up a very small satellite base where there isn't much flammable stuff nearby, such as the desert, and just use one flingo for my flamable mini-base structures, such as a chest or three, maybe 2 crock pots, and a couple of drying racks.
Love your guides, but one question do you have to build fences, wood walls, or stone walls around your base or does it not matter if you don’t build stone walls around your base?
Walls can be used as decoration and in a few niche farming methods and bait pens, but they're overall pretty useless. There is NO need to surround you base with walls. To the contrary, it's a BAD idea to surround your base with walls!
@@salendrak Thanks!
I don't know where a should give you requests so i'll just comment it here... can you also please do guides for ship wrecked edition?
Yes - eventually! My plan is to cover all the basics of RoG first and then move on to SW. So for RoG we still need to cover Spring, Summer, Caves and Ancient Ruins, Adventure Mode, and any other major topics that warrant a full guide. But don't worry - I'll get to SW eventually!
@@salendrak Your guides are incredibly helpful... I've been playing this game for a while now... but I really suck at it... after watching your vids... I'm gradually starting to get the hang of it... your explanations are very clear and specific ... it actually helps a ton for noobs like me...
@@salendrak Thanks for making all these videos I really appreciate it
@@me-iu1qc You're very welcome!!
This one does sparks joy lighters spark fire
Uh oh - don't burn your base down!! 🤣
Tbh im depressed and this helped when you said individual gamer
I made base in forest with spider because Im playing webber and im cutting trees that if they would catch on fire would burn everything and abou not eating monster meat for me its well yes but actually no. Good video
Yeah, Webber definitely has some features that allow you to mix things up a bit!
@@salendrak so my base ended up by that I wasn't prepared for summer because I didn't noticed that i have first spring and no autumn so i burned to death but I have now new world and i opened chest with fridge that was trap and i have summer but now I'm prepared i have cold fire ton of food so I'll survive those 16 days of summer
@@trotlicek6664 Nice! Just make it through summer and it'll be smooth sailing for Fall!
Apparently the standard base configuration used in this video isn't viable in DST. They've increased the collision radius of the crockpot such that you end up with a diamond shape instead of the standard rotated square.
Are you using geometric placement? You can still get a good formation a couple of ways. Option 1 - place left and right crock pots on the X just inside the lines of the tile, then for the top and bottom use your eyeballs and squish them in as close as you can with geometric placement off. Might not be a perfect square, but still allows room for at least 2 ice boxes in the middle. Option 2 - place all 4 crock pots on the cross-lines of the tiles. This ends up a bit more spaced out and might look funny depending on what you're doing with underlying turfs, but leaves PLENTY of space to fit ice boxes and/or salt boxes in between the pots such that you can reach all 4 pots from any of the food storages.
@@salendrak yeah I tried turning it off to practice placing the pots in a test world but I don't have your knack for placement :(
@@jordanchen23 Well, to be fair, I've had LOTS of practice with that particular configuration! 😆
Is there a way to see in game which property (hunger, health, sanity) each food item restores? That’s what I’m struggling with right now.. even if I make some food, I never know which one I need to restore health so I end up trying and thus wasting precious food that I could’ve saved for the right moment… the stats you show for the food really helps but wish i could see that info in game too 😕
There are mods that add that information, but on the base game, no. I've never personally used those mods, but do remember learning the game with a couple of key wiki pages open almost all the time, including the crockpot recipes. Once you learn a few key recipes by heart though it gets much simpler. Have you seen my food guide?
@@salendrak ah I see. I got tired of taking notes/having the wiki open when I play games lol so I’ve just been trying to remember things and figure things out just as I play but not easy with this game 😅 I’ll def check out your food guide! Slowly making my way through your videos.. thanks!
i would love to see you do a lets play series with webber or wendy ..
I honestly haven't played all that much as Webber. Just a little bit here and there. Wendy is pretty fun, but honestly she's a lot better in DST with the update they did last year. She's my wife's favorite!
@@salendrak I love wendy too but for the life of me, cant get Abigail to work
On a recent update, monster meat doesn't have to be cooked to feed it to the bird
Yeah - that's a super nice change!
day 6, oh sweet this wormhole has lots of boulders, oh look a deer, dead.
Welcome to Don't Starve!! 😆
I like that map mod, and season mod, but does it break achievements?
As far as I know achievements are only on consoles, which don't have mods. So no?
@@salendrak oh, i asumed it had archievments, my bad.
what happens if you put chester's eye on chester and chester dies? will he not respawn?
When Chester dies he drops all of his contents, so the eye bone would fall on the floor, and he will re-spawn as normal. Good question though!
@@salendrak thanks! I was afraid to try it myself.
In the first seconds i was like "dayum his voice got sexy" :D
Hahaha - that's my TV announcer voice! 😆
I'm wet now. The "around the corner" at 0:13 it is :D
Me: survives 1000 days in dst but still watches this video...
I'm honored!!
HeY tHats Me At 0:00
Heheh - been a while since I looked back at that video. I still like that intro segment 😆
I don't think you touch on it in this video, but why use signs and traps to mark important resources instead of a simple mod?
Mostly because other than the minimap and combined status mods, I've never used any other mods. And also because there's plenty of people that play on platforms that can't have mods! In DST though I think there is a thing that allows you to easily mark paired wormholes, which is nice. But I have no issue with people using mods to do the same thing.
@@salendrak ah that's fair, I forgot about console. Mods are hard to break away from once you try them
Will you be making a separate series for DST?
Not sure if I'll do a full guide series or not, but I'll do at least some coverage...at some point....
@@salendrak sounds good. my little brother and I are just starting out and when it comes to DS, your guides have proved most useful.
@@afr4y117 Awesome - this is a great co-op game to play with friends and family! The vast majority of what I cover in these guides will apply to DST, especially the general survival mechanics and principles. And eventually I'll cover the DST specific stuff!
@@salendrak :-)
Shouldve watched this sooner now deersclips wrecked my base
Happens to the best of us at least a time or two before we get it down!
I'm watching this cuz imma gonna get d game so il be prepared plz wish me luck for getting d game
Good luck! And don't sweat it when you die as you're learning the game - death is a great teacher, and it's all part of the process!
guys how do u predict where is certain biome location? or is it completely random?
Completely random in my experience!
Do clockworks and rocks respawn?
Nope - unfortunately they don't. Generally speaking though there are more than enough clockworks on the surface to take care of your basic base needs, and of course there will be many more down in the ancient ruins. There's also the option of World Hopping (generating a new world via the Teleportato) to get access to additional materials, but I've honestly never felt the need to do that.

Thanks - more are on the way!!
