Quick notes

  • Compare four useful starting choices. Character selection changes how you approach food, combat and crafting.
  • Plan a team around each survivor’s needs. A perk can create a resource commitment as well as an advantage.
  • Use Wendy’s DST summoning rules. Wendy starts with Abigail’s Flower and can summon Abigail through it.
  • Treat skill trees as an extra layer. Modern DST includes character updates and skill systems that can alter specialized builds.
Useful tip

Wigfrid can eat Goodies such as Taffy in DST; describing her diet as strictly meat with no exceptions misses a useful sanity option.
