Better Clock(re)works

Revitalize Your Clockwork Companions in Don’t Starve Together

Are you tired of the limited utility and straightforward nature of Clockwork companions in Don’t Starve Together? The “Better Clock(re)works” mod injects a fresh wave of depth and engagement into these mechanical marvels. This comprehensive overhaul goes far beyond minor adjustments, offering a significantly more detailed and rewarding experience for those who wish to tame, utilize, or even simply understand the intricacies of Clockwork technology.

A Deeper Approach to Taming and Interaction

Forget the simple days of summoning. This mod introduces a sophisticated system for befriending and managing Clockworks. Damaged Clockworks now possess an unsettling insanity aura, adding a layer of risk and reward to their presence. Furthermore, player interactions with tamed Clockworks have been refined. Hitting a companion now simply makes them pause their pursuit, remaining neutral and allowing you to assign them to a new area. Crucially, they will no longer lash out at stunned allies during taming, nor will they flee when you attempt to interact with them on land or sea. Their loyalty extends to each other too, as tamed Clockworks will now defend one another from threats.

Expanded Applications and Foundational Overhaul

The “Better Clock(re)works” mod fundamentally reworks how you can enhance and repair your mechanical allies. Clockworks can now be opened while stunned by electrical damage, revealing internal slots for customization.

• Slotting various mechanical and electrical items within these internal compartments grants unique, stackable effects.
• Experimentation is key, as mismatched modules can lead to surprising and practical outcomes.
• Repairing and upgrading becomes a more involved process, with many items now capable of healing Clockworks without the need for stunning.
• Even the discovery of Clockworks has been expanded, with rare instances of partially upgraded units appearing in the wild and broken piles occasionally found adrift at sea, ready for retrieval.

These changes ensure that Clockwork companions are no longer just static entities but dynamic extensions of your survival strategy, offering a richer and more engaging gameplay loop for all Don’t Starve Together players.
