Welcome to another Don't Starve Together guide! Today Wurt and I are looking at my favorite uses for the lunar island, a new biome added to Don't Starve Together in the Turn of Tides update and further developed in the subsequent Return of Them releases. The lunar island must be sailed to from the mainland and contains a slew of unique mobs, items, structures, and game mechanics. Many resources, such as bull kelp and stone fruit bushes, provide exceptional food sources which can be relocated to the mainland. The enlightenment mechanic can be used to optimize survival and sanity management, and makes the lunar island the ideal location for a number of Don't Starve Together farms. Join me as we explore the best ways to utilize all of these new additions to improve our survival chances in Don't Starve Together.

She Sells Seashells went live in April 2020. An Island fragment of the moon has left a lonely creature stranded. Is it friendly? Time will tell. New features include messages in bottles, the moon fragment island, the Crabby Hermit, Crab King, new seasonal fish, the Wobster and Wobster Den the Winch Boat structure, sunken treasures, and singing shells.
Throughout 2019, Klei released a series of game updates available to all players, under the single thematic focus entitled “Return of Them."
"Hook, Line, & Inker" will be remembered as the big fishing update. We finally have the tools we need to go sailing and fish around literally anywhere in the ocean. This update added over a dozen new ocean mobs, three new crockpot recipes, and tons of new craftable items and structures. Most of these new additions are tailored toward the goal of dramatically expanding the fishing experience in DST. So stick around to the end while I attempt to cover everything!
Charlie’s machinations have come to a head as she turns her attention towards the skies - and the mysterious entity that awaits there. Our Survivors will be forced to contend with terrifying monstrosities beyond their comprehension, and yet, there may be a silver lining: their minds and horizons will be expanded under the sublime light of an ancient moon.
Here is an overview of what was added in the first update, Turn of Tides:
Added a new multiplayer-centric boat mechanic, where players can build and deck out a boat for multiple survivors to travel together on
Added a new Seafaring crafting menu
Added the Lunar Island
Added Enlightenment
Added 3 new Lunar Island biomes, along with new creatures, objects, and craftables
Turn of Tides focused primarily on building the fundamental tech and infrastructure for Return of Them. Since then a significant amount of content has added to both the islands and the sea.
Don't Starve Together is the standalone multiplayer expansion of the uncompromising wilderness survival game, Don't Starve. Now including Reign of Giants; adding new characters, seasons, creatures, biomes, and Giant new challenges to Don’t Starve Together. Cooperate with your friends in a private game, or take your chances with strangers online. Work with other players to survive the harsh environment, or strike out on your own. Do whatever it takes, but most importantly, Don't Starve.
stone fruit: literally has the word fruit in the name KLEI: vegetable
Jelly Salad, made of jelly and salad. Bunnies: MURDERER
@@JazzysGames I mean jelly is meat
Weirdly enough, Wes becomes one on the better inhabitants of the island because of his balloons
I dont think its a good idea to use this as a permanent cure for enlightenment, as the lunar island can't feed wes until he brings things there, and if he constantly goes insane, he's likely to get killed on the boat.
@@colorsndread7922 why can't he eat the stone fruit lol
@@dragonx23123 he needs as much as a warley I have enough game experience to figure out that eating stone fruit and only stone fruit is not very filling
@@dragonx23123 you also completely forget about the fact that there is no grass on the island
@@colorsndread7922 I'm not going to argue with you based on your other comments hinting that you are not even trying to consider the possibility of it
I have Glommer come with me each time I go to the Lunar Islands to combat the enlightenment. That may seem counter intuitive with the sanity aura Glommer give off, but the Glommer's goop is great for enlightenment, not only does it give you 50 health, it drops your sanity (and in turn, your enlightenment) by a ton. Once I'm ready to get off the islands, I just stand next to a fussure and run to my boat to get my sanity up before I leave.
SO like just sitting on the boat making poop?
@@bigkirbyhj666 Every few days, baby 👈👈😎
You can rush lunar with Woodie without mapping the whole world and starting from day 1:gather 15 seeds and Monster meats(you can do with less but 15 will guarantee in case of bad spawns),go around gathering enough materials to craft your backpack,log suit,shovel and think tank. The trick is,the lunar island will always be connected to the main land 100% of the time by shallow ocean (oceans with flat lines _ instead of chevron lines V)so all you need to do is go around the shallow ocean mapping the outer world.If you always follow the shallows you will always find the lunar island even if the spawn is somewhat weird.Sometimes you will get false positives of shallows that go away from the mainland into a sea stack,but you just need to keep going around. A bonus:you will always be somewhat insane by the time you get there. Ive tested this method in over 20 worlds by now and it always work(love going to random servers and helping people by bringing them lunar resources).
Now for the tips:the lunar island almost always spawn 1-3 glass axes surrounded by a square of trees,so look out for those. A single gunpowder will open 10 stonefruits from a stack,so if you put a ton of 10 stacks around a single gunpowder you can open hundreds of them in an instant. Best use ive found for anenemies is to weaken/kill mctusk and its hound by setting them before the first winter. This I have not tried,but saw someone put anenemies around an area to prevent bird spawns,put a catapult in the center and glommer in the edge.Fake attack glommer so the catapult attacks him (the catapult cant kill him) and use birds of the world to force all the birds to spawn on top of glommer. If the lunar spiders are bothering you,lure them near a saladmander and make the spike aoe hit them to make them aggro the spiders.
Ooh that's cool. I saw Rewolf use that truck with the anenemies in his Krampus farm. Pretty cool. The catapult trick also works with Chester.
Fluicor does slurtle slime open them as efficiently? It’s extremely simple to get might be worth looking into as I believe it also explodes
@@theadtheogrekiller5629 sadly no,the slime only opens one at a time.You could still open a bunch by making 1 stacks around but for that better use a pickaxe.
I enjoy characters who base well in different biomes when compared to other characters, Wurt can make any biome a swamp in order to efficiently use it for any use she wants (my favourite is setting up in one of the deserts and making it a swamp for easier cactus farming) Wormwood is good for cave basing as red mushrooms are pretty good for food all year round, on top of his easy ability to make mushroom planters once a decent healing source is found. But I never thought of using wortox as a lunar island baser! I’ll definitely need to try this at some point.
How do you even heal yourself
ColorsNDread as wormwood or Wurt? With worm wood I typically set up a manure farm, my farm is just a trapped pig with a walled off piece of pig skin so he will be attracted to it when I open the pen to feed him. I then take light bulbs typically (although petals can also work, but I don’t recommend) and 4 monster meat (usually from a worm wave or a spider farm I have set up by my bunny man village) this allows me to collect large amounts of manure very easily. Normally I use winter as my time to gather as much manure as I can as spring is the best time for farming and summer is really good for cave expeditions. After gathering manure rot is what you need next (I believe 200 manure is needed for a max stack of wormwoods special fertilizer.) rot is easy as well to get (you only need 80 rot, so two stacks of light bulbs and ur done!) and autumn I tend to mine all the nitre sources above ground till I have a stack of 40 before retreating to the caves. With this you should easily have enough healing for a long long long time. However you don’t really need this much but I like to have full stacks of things so I go a bit crazy, really 10 should do you for making mushroom farms early game. After that I switch to healing salves due to their quicker healing animation and relatively easy cost once you have a spider farm set up. Simply use spare rot and bulbs for ash and rocks fall from the ceiling. In summer you can get extra rocks by not appeasing antlion, and if that isn’t enough I suggest using spring to search for the lunar island instead of farming (I prefer to rely on character specific traits when playing, so as wormwood I use his ability to plant seeds directly a lot, normally to rush a corn farm.) the stone fruit trees give tonnes of renewable stones for healing salves. With Wurt I use blue mushrooms, due to cactus giving sanity it’s not an issue (not that being insane is difficult to begin with, practice kiting the shadows and you’ll be golden) On another note to why wormwood works well in caves, guano from bats (and there are a LOT of bats) give 2 health pop, when exploring I typically never have to dip into my main healing sources if I’m lucky with the bat spawns. I’m also not a very good player when it comes to fighting and guano is a life saver.
Bull Kelp = Pierogi for life
Use stone fruit, its better to dry the bull kelp because all non wigfrids can keep their sanity high.
@Leonardo Di Kennedy it's inefficient to use Cactus now that stone fruit is here because of the cooked variants sanity gain. Not to mention your lost Health if you're not a wormwood, or wearing a bramble
As Wurt I've definitely felt myself moving away from depending on cactus for sanity. Even with the time spent drying, dried kelp is faster to collect than cactus and less dangerous. If I didn't need the sanity, though, there's no harm in using kelp for perogies but it would probably be faster to mine stone fruit.
@@colorsndread7922 I assume you're talking about drying Kelp Fronds for Sanity and not cooking Stone Fruit. Cooked Stone Fruit give zero Sanity.
HOLY CRAP! This Is the most informational video I've seen! Thank you!
Woodie's surprisingly amazing for rushing the lunar island even before the first full moon. He can find the island and access it easily with his goose form, clear the spiders with his moose form and destroy all the boulders and moon glasses, dig up stone fruit bushes and chop trees with his beaver form to get blossoms, wood and moths. Moths can be eaten for health since he loses 20 health each time he transforms, blossoms can be used to get more moon shards from the first full moon, and since his were form makes him insane, he actually doesn't have any problems with gestalts at all. After all that, it gets a few returns to bring back tons of glass cutters, rocks and minerals, wood and all the good stuff from the island, and that is easy as well with the goose form.
Great video for someone like myself who is recently getting back into the game. That place had my all fucked up but this was helpful.
More videos like this please. Updated stuff and farming optimization this 2020. Now that we have a couple of new ways to farm stuff it would be amazing if you can create more stuff like this.
"sailable"..its a bit of a strech calling it sailing when its just a round chunk of wood that drifts around
2 months later, there’s a lot more sea updates
Hyper Cypher but the “boat” is still just a round disk that floats and doesn’t sail like a proper boat
@@thetruffleshuffle21 so emm how do proper boat sail tho?? I think the sail system is ok if u ignore the shape of the boat lol.. I like it more than shipwreck one
😂 Accurate Don't Starve Together is so great.
good one! I think you should have mentioned rock farm via stone fruits to make this guide even better ;)
Thanks Jazzy that was a good guide
This is what you call Quality Content!
I love moonbasing, it’s very fun. Plus stone fruit are my favorite food
When you found out Jazzy's P.O. box is about a small cluster of neighborhoods away from your home
Will definitely use this in my world
Jazzy uploaded a new video: i‘m like „YEEESSS!!!“
thanks man !
Only 7k subs? You deserve 2 or 3 millon I love your videos continua asi eres un grande
Hello I've not commented for so long long time Still love your vids and first!
WOAH, using the lazy deserter on the Lunar Island is genius, I use green mushrooms uncooked when I go though
Yessssss beaver All the stonefruits
Sweet!
The Lunar Island cluster makes for both an easily contained mole farm and an absolutely phenomenal marble farm. The marble farm in particular is great because they are significantly easier to use, more efficient and faster to harvest, and more regularly available than any of the other methods I've seen for farming marble with bosses like Bearger and Deerclops. The mole farms are just nice because the small islands make them much more easily contained than a pen or a peninsula.
Why marble farming is better in lunar island?
ah yes, my favorite musical 'the book of mermon'
Can you maybe show us the best uses for salt box? It would be great >.
Well, let's not forget the Celestial Tribute, which has no uses just yet. The next update has to be about lunar content, and I can not wait!
Aren't they used for crafting?
@@imthecourtjester Well, it is currently but I am 100% sure that that will change in some way, as right now, it grants access to the same tab the celestial altar does, and that makes no sense. It will either get a new special use, or it will be the 2nd tier of the celestial tab, like the alchemy engine.
Told you a long time ago, that you will have much more subs) And even now it's only begining. You're making very good high quality guides + being a nice person = you totally deserve 100k+ subscribers. I'm learning from you how to play better and how to make my own content better too. And I'm actually surprised that I watched your videos without subscrinbing before. Already fixed it) P.S.: ty for best Krampus farm ever)
bull kelp is so underrated but op with crock pot and awesome with warly
I wish lunar island had a boss, at least I would have a reason to stay there for longer than a day for some swords while I check to see if I missed any bull kelp for my newest base before I cross back over the boat bridge on my muffalo
Well you're in luck, a beta is out rn
@@bong3882 dope, thanx for letting me know, just looked into it, cant wait to use enlightened crown shards to power my mush lights, I like things like this, I didnt see anything about the crown shards having a shelf life either so hopefully as long as I put the time into grinding the bosses i can power all the lighting in my base indefinitely.....without a mod
hey, you mentioned a twinkie allowing for even faster chopping. Could you possibly explain? anyway, I love your videos!
Oh lol, yeah that'd be honey-seasoned powdercake.
It's wise to bring some green mushrooms if you explore here early.
That's good. Raw meat works well too.
How you ppl stream and play with no laggs in DST? i dont get it...me and my friends got a lot of lagg and we got only DST open...is there any way reducing lagg online? dedicated servers or soemthing? Thanks for great videos Jazzy
Hard to say without knowing your situation. Are you connecting to low ping servers? Hosting a server will put a heavy load on many CPUs, especially with lots of people connected. Dedicated servers definitely make a difference.
@@JazzysGames we are playing in 60ms ping servers, we are only 3 ppl playing and we live only 100km each other away. But it doestnt seem stable at all to be honest...We will try dedicated from now and on. rthanks for reply man
Might be a host computer performance issue. Run into it often even in dedicated servers. The game takes a lot of CPU resources. Hope things get better for you!
With the newest update my Lunar island spawned connected to the mainland in two different places.
hello new viewer here, how about the granny crab is she separated from lunar island? i mean i know its separated island but it is separated from lunar entity?
Edgy Rick disliked the video.
I can’t believe I never realized that Wickerbottom could just read books, I really wanna try that Krampus farm
Be mindful of your enlightenment. You will most likely be insane when you leave. If you want that Krampus farm I would consider investing in a drying rack so you can dry yourself some kelp fronds
Hey jazzy, just curious but what music do you use in your videos?
KZhead offers a library of royalty-free music to video creators. All the music I use is from that library. Happy to share the info if you're interested.
Jazzy's Games it’s ok, thanks for replying :D
Does moon actually rock?
Jazzy, What is that Twinkies food in the video that causes chop the trees faster? I can't find it in wiki.
That's be powdercake seasoned with honey crystals. Warly can actually sweeten any foods, doesn't have to be powcake.
İ hope some of the dst youtubers start doing console guide
Hey bass man.
Wont it better now to fight shadow pieces on the lunar island? Since you dont have to worry about the insane insanity aura, and you want to make the glass cutter there anyway too.
I can definitely see the benefits. For me I'd rather have my arena closer to base so I can do the fight more often. The sanity isn't too hard to mitigate.
Ahh yes bull kelp the no.1 farm I mike when I wanna go overboard on crockpot filler.
I just did what despicable mii taught me and stole the moon I took all the moon turf and replaced it with other turf
5:15 what food makes chopping trees down faster??? ???Never knew that was a thing
Warly can spice foods with honey to achieve that effect
@@patrickhayes3011 I had no idea, thank you
just found a lunar island right next to spawn, is this rare or? I just had to craft a boat to step across and I was already on the island, I've never had this happen before lol
Uhhhh jazzy the world's gen is messing with me. when mapping t found 2 horseshoe land loop with all the condition is match to your description :(
whats the music at 7:00
Not me with 500 hours ingame just now finding out finding out you can plant bull kelp...
I use anenemy to keep the frogs away from my base if there's a pond near the base
Ooh that's good! One shot those green bastards out of existence.
@@JazzysGames I also get some frog legs tho it's a tricky task when collecting the meat
@@JazzysGames that's a great idea to be sure, but I think it'll take 2 Anenemies (60 dmg apiece) to kill a Frog (100 hp). Too bad that Anenemies are nonrenewable :(
Yesterday my friend and I had a world that the lunar islands were connected to the main land
What is that powder cake on a plate at 5:15? New recipe?
That's powdercake seasoned by Warly with honey crystals.
@@JazzysGames Thanks! too bad it's a warly recipe haha!
Hm nice
Hey did you see the strident trident i think is a great weapon, te only problem is there is no real use of the weapon cause we dont enough water mobs
i came up with a few, including the returning bosses from shipwrecked: swimming horrers: same health as crawling horrers: essentaly just the crawling horrers of the ocean. drops 1 nightmare fuel. sea tentacle: no dmg, 500 health, always wet, grabs onto your boat and starts hurting it and holding it in place till killed, like crab kings claws. same loot as lang tentacles. kelp monster: 200 hp 20 dmg. spawns when picking kelp at a 1/10 rate drops 3 to 4 kelp and 10 percent chance to drop bull kelp stalk. can go on land. sealnado: 10000 health, 60 damage: spawns in a set location in a setpiece every 20 days: can pull your boat in and hurt you with a spin attack. drops 6 seal skin, 2 meat. seal skin can make the origanal shipwrecked boat, however it takes 12 skin to make it, and when near boat you can craft the shipwrecked attachments with silk and other stuff. quacken: health 6000, damage 30, spawns when a player catches a fish at a 5 percent chance, respawns in 20 days. tentacals can go through boat and cause leaks, and heald can shook the ink skittersquids do at the player. drops quaken beak, 10 raw fish. quacken beak can be used in a number of recipies for both boat types, shipwrecked and together boats. it makes quackering ram and quacken cannon for the shipwrecked boat, and a version of the quacken cannon and an auto boat repairer for together boats. finally, tiger shark, 6000 hp, 50 dmg, spawns in a shark den found on the water. can have her young hold down your boat and pull it to sea stacks till they are killed, summons young when near shark den. drops 1 tiger shark eye, 20 big meats. young drop tiger shark gills, both used in making new attachments like quacken. for shipwrecked boat, boat lantern and for together boat, a spotlight that looks out on the water. can also make the super spyglass from shipwrecked.
Wow
Another tip to find the lunar island is going in the direction were the ocean is closer to the spawn
Not sure I follow. Is the lunar island always close to spawn?
Using maxwells shadow clones to reduce your maximum sanity allows you to be inmune to enlightenment
It does? Last time I played as Maxwell having my max sanity lowered from minions meant it was basically impossible to not be enlightened because my max enlightenment level was so low.
Jazzy's Games last time I played it worked but it has been a while so maybe it was patched
@@JazzysGames If you make a shadow with a pick axe, he can infinitely ripe the stone fruits for you without crafting pick axes again and again.
But dragon fly does not want stone fruit 2:26
I realy wish they just put in shipwrecked boats
Do the sprouted stone fruit bushes get diseased?
Nope
@@cousinmajin ok ty
So Maxwell will be losing enlightenment on the island, right?
Nope! Max is awful on lunar.
How many tries did it take for you to say sea sells sea shells.
Do you want the outtakes?
@@JazzysGames yes.
She smells sheet smells by the sheet store... D'oh!
1:18 that’s not true we see in the trailer for return of them the lunar island is a shard of The moon that fell off you can even tell this on the moon in game
Yeah. It's been mentioned by some other commenters as well.
Why is it called stoneFRUIT if its a vegetable? why not stonevegetable?
Probably same reason avocado is considered a vegetable. Because Klei.
I mean. As far as "cannon" is concerned. The Lunar Island is already confirmed to have fallen off of the moon itself.
Yeah another viewer pointed that out too. I totally forgot about the ToT trailer.
EVERYONE GETS THIS WRONG. The stone fruit planted from the seedling DO NEED FERTILIZING. We got a ton of them on my server, nothing but seedling plants at my base, and they do require fertilizing, but it is far less often than other plants that we have transplanted. Disease is disabled on our server, so I cannot speak on if they get blighted or not.
This has never happened to me with any sprouted stone fruit. Not one. The only time I see those wither is during the Summer. You may be experiencing it but I'd call it an unintended bug that for me has been impossible to duplicate. I've sat reading countless Wicker books to grow the sprouted bushes for inexcusably long amounts of time and have never seen one of these wither due to lack of fertilizer.
Don't know what the nature of the glitch is then, because the entire crop does it. It's definitely not summer wilt, they have a dedicated fire extinguisher that keeps them fresh. Might have to do with disease being turned off for all I know, but this has happened on every world I go to, the seedlings do need fertilizing. Anyone's guess what does or doesn't trigger it.
Well, I think that is a bit obvious, as if that was not the case, they would be really overpowered. Now, they are kinda like berry bushes, which too require fertilization after a while.
That is really interesting. I am curious if their mechanics have changed in recent updates. I'll definitely do more testing and maybe check out the prefab files. If that info is wrong I promise I will issue a correction.
Quick question: do they wither after a harvest or do you just walk over to discover them withered?
1:17 no, the lunar island came from the moon :P
34
wickerbottom still op then!? xD
I don't think a day has passed without her being overpowered. If you look at the wurt update, she's intentionally designed to play nice with everyone.
My lunar island is 2 tiles apart from the main land,anyone else?
Pp lol

"Better creators then I have done-" No... please... the only ACTIVE youtuber that really stands out is beard, and as good as he is about presenting information, HIS NEED TO NARRATE AND GIVE THE SAME PUNS IN ALL HIS VIDEOS IS ABSOLUTELY ANNOYING. Not to mention he often rehashes his content to put in lesser unneeded informative videos
Beard doesn't exactly try and teach He just tries to be the KZhead version of a Wikipedia
@@colorsndread7922 Good way to put it honestly. Most of the stuff people ask for that he puts out i end up thinking "you guys too lazy to just look that up?" Like sleep mechanic ffs
@@courierz9451 even putting aside the fact that Beard is a known content thief (the primary reason why none of the high-level creators associate with him), he simply regurgitates information from the wiki without checking the facts, sometimes leading him to post videos containing misleading or outright false information. I'd hardly say that matches the definition of a "good" content creator. Quantity < Quality. Beard making fancy-looking base setups using the console and Fix For Too Many Items mod does not in any way make up for his use of unreliable wiki info. And again, content thievery.
The creators I had in mind were from James Bucket, Demon Rebuilt, and Freddo Films. All their Turn of Tides video guides were solid.
