Understanding Sanity
Your sanity level is measured in Don't Starve Together, a measure of the mental status of your character. It is a changing meter that corresponds to the actions you do and the environmental changes taking place. Some of the various actions and situations that could lead to losing sanity include:
- Staying in the dark: Nights and caves greatly reduce sanity.
- Fighting Monsters: Engaging in battles with the denizens of the Constant takes a toll on your mental state.
- Monster diet: eating the flesh of shadow creatures might negatively affect your sanity.
- Proximity to certain objects: Nightmares and other uncanny items suck sanity from creatures within their vicinity.
On the other hand, there are very many things that can fill your sanity and make you mentally sound. Here are ways of keeping your sanity from hitting rock bottom:
Restoring Sanity
Early Game Strategies:- Pick Flowers. There's a huge amount of pretty flowers in the world, and picking just one will grant you a small amount of sanity. Picking a flower will yield a single flower-petal. Crafting 12 of them into a Garland will give you a constant sanity boost until it wilts.
- Befriend the pigs—these little fellas will give you both a companion and a sanity aura. Feed them monster meat in order to make their buffs last longer.
- Cook your food: decreases sanity slightly, so make sure you cook the food before eating it. Cooked Green Mushrooms, Jercys, and Cactus Flesh are good for getting some sanity back.
- Build a Top Hat: Silk is a relatively common resource, and a Top Hat offers a good sanity boost when worn.
Mid to Late Game Strategies:
- Sleep in Tent: Sleeping in a tent fully restores sanity but consumes a lot of hunger. Preferably done during the day than at night, so as not to be a major drain on sanity.
- Prototyping Items: Prototyping new stuff at the Science Machine successfully gives a boost to sanity. This is actually a very good way of joining research with sanity restoration.
- Wear Special Clothing: Some hats cause constant sanity regeneration. The Tam o' Shanter is an amazing late-game sanity item that one can acquire as a rare drop by MacTusk the Walrus in the Winter.
- Sanity Honey: Honey can be made into Taffy; food that provides a considerable amount of sanity.
Environmental Sanity Boosts:
- Glommer Friendship: This lovable little critter provides a small sanity aura while befriended.
- Camping by Fireflies: Camping near the Fireflies Group replenishes sanity during the evening.
Some of the most devastating effects on sanity would be going into the dark, fighting shadow creatures, and eating monster meat.
The world will start to both visually and audibly warp as the levels of your sanity drop. You will also start to experience hallucinations, and the nightmares will start.
Although it will restore some, monster meat significantly decreases your sanity. Limit its use, using only in extreme situations.
Wendy seems to derive sanity from hanging out with ghosts and being near skeletal remains. That can be chancy, though, so it's not always the most reliable method.
Conclusion
