Don’t starve together
I’ve been playing Don’t Starve Together lately, and it’s awesome. There’s a constant sense of pressure imposed by the passage of time, days turn to night, a mild Autumn to bleak Winter. It makes any wasted time seem at worst dire, or at best mildly frustrating.
There are so many items you can cobble together, with twigs, bunny-flesh, and the like. At least 144, by my count. But unless you memorize their positions and ingredients, you’re going to waste a lot of time searching through categories for some item you’re sure you’d seen but just can’t seem to find.
I, myself, often kept a wikia tab open on my secondary monitor. But as I’m sure you’re aware, Wikia is slow and prone to annoying ads blaring sound this way and that. And even so, didn’t provide an ideal interface for that sort of thing.
I wanted to type in “charcoal” and immediately see what I could make. Or “crock pot” and see what I needed. Or even “science” to see everything that’s in that category.
The What can I make page is where I spend most of my time. The What do I need page is for those situations where I’m starting a new game, and know I want to create, say, 2 crock pots and 1 bird cage. It’ll tell me everything I need to collect to fulfill my crafting dreams.
If you find anything that doesn’t work, let me know, I haven’t tested it all that much.
I made it just using jquery. Then I remade it using backbone. Then I remade it using webpack, sass and react. Because why not?
This is the backbone version, because the react interface felt strangely clunky.
