Don't Starve Weight Gain Character Mod

Project Ideas & Discussion

I don’t think I have your rework files on hand, but I did make a little edited version of the original for personal use. I forget what exactly you edited other than some dialogue and flipping the health penalties around though, was there anything else? Since he seems to be okay with people editing or using parts of his work, I might be able to post the scripts here to share.

I believe I made options for flipping the health penalties around, rebalancing the damage outputs to be less extreme, making her more resistant to cold and less resistant heat while fat (and vice versa), and maybe some rebalancing of speed (but this was a while ago, I don’t remember). All togglable, to suit anyone’s tastes if I ever released it.

Flipping around stats was the biggest thing, but I also added a LOT of other tweaks and stuff, including, but not limited to:

  1. General nerfing of the character as a whole. She was generally too fast, got too much sanity from eating, etc.
  2. She gets insulation when fat, and reverse insulation when thin
  3. I gave her a “Glutton bonus” where higher weight stages would give her extra food. Her thin stage would actually get LESS food to make up for her higher speed.
  4. Her food drain while running was too much, and her food drain while standing was too high. I made both stats more moderate. She will still lose food about 1.20x faster than most characters in normal play, but this is counteracted by the glutton bonus depending on your weight stage.
  5. I made her voice lines less fetishy just because I didn’t really “feel” it and just wanted to have fun.

It all came together to create a character that rewarded to user for having the right weight for the right situation. We shared similar ideas for the most part, so I’d love to see your version of the character.

In general, reworked Wakako was slightly worse at everything than other characters but made up for it in malleability. By changing your weight, you chose which stats you were going to excel at, the biggest ones being speed, food intake, health, and damage output

Her thin stage didn’t get as much from food, and had low health and damage output. However, she also had a 25% higher speed, making her great for exploring and gathering resources. To maintain a thin weight, you couldn’t have food on hand or she would eat it compulsively. This was still the best stage overall, but it was hard to maintain.

Medium hunger was basically Winston with an eating disorder and a faster hunger drain while running, making it a slightly worse generalist.

Fat had a 25% higher damage output, higher health, and decent insulation, but was 15% slower. Because she could still wear body armor at this stage, while also being fast enough to dodge, this was the best build for combat. But that 15% movement speed decrease would make it hard to gather resources where every second counted.

Her obese form was better at hunkering down and waiting out the winter. While she hit the hardest and had the highest health by a large margin, she couldn’t wear body armor, making her pretty vulnerable to attacks. But she made up for this with sizable insulation and a very high Glutton Bonus. She was VERY slow, I think like 40% slower than normal.

Forgot my login info, so I’m using this account. I wrestled the file out of my dying computer. WAKAKO IS BACK-O.

I don’t have any working PC right now, so I can’t test it. Wakako may or may not work with current versions of Don’t Starve Together. If it doesn’t work with the current version, it should be compatible with the Reap what you Sow update.

I am throwing it into the wild, because I don’t want my original account attached to it. Feel free to share this mod however you wish, INCLUDING publishing it to steam workshop.

i am not sure how im supposed to play the mod

By looking through the script I noticed that quotes tied to certain events like “ANNOUNCE_DIET” and “ANNOUNCE_FATDIET” were set as disabled. By changing their setting from false to true they now appear in the game but she says them way too frequently while at low sanity. @dummmy4tummyalt do you or anybody else with more modding knowledge than me know of a way to make them appear less frequently while still keeping them activated?

Found this mod, quite old and didn’t check it out properly but has some promise to it?

Am just wishing for a full on weight gain mod though, even if it’s just a dedicated character, Wakako isn’t very fleshed out (literally).

Sorry to revive a dead thread, but I wanted to know if there are other Weight Gain mods besides Wakako? I also found Lily in this thread, but that’s a little different. Like I saw that failmuseum wanted to make a mod but seems to have changed their mind. I was just very curious if anyone else has information about other mods or interest in modding the game itself.
