So I'm on my 10th day and my sanity meter was at about 50ish. I got killed by a herd of buffalo (obviously) but the game didn't end. Instead, I was transported to this sacrificial area with pig heads. I had lost all my stuff but I'm still on day 10. Has this happened to anyone else? Not how the game didn't end.

It's because the developers didn't want trophies/achievements for the game but Sony most probably made them add them.
Yeah they're called "touch stones" I think. If you find one and use it then you can Respawn at it once when you die. You lose all of your gear though but you can run back to where you died and find it.

my cake, fuck off
Saving in this game is more like a resume feature. You can't go back to a previous save.
Yea had to give it a run for a while. I finally made it up too day 3 after figuring out how to build an axe and make fire. This is going to be a fun little game. Perfect compliment to a Splunky session. Quick screen shot of something weird I found. Also thanks for the link Cheser!
feed that pig!
That's a Touch Stone. You must've activated it at some point before you died. It revives you on death, but only once. You probably noticed that it exploded when you came back to life.

Oh man that's fantastic. I'll have to keep an eye out for more of those. Thanks!

Ohh, I thought drop was like, throwing it away. Lol, ok.

I survived 6 days so far. I died because I stole a Tail Bird's egg and it killed me in 1 hit. It wouldn't stop following me so I think it was inevitable.
At least I unlocked the next character, but I still think I'll stick with the MC for now.

Yeah it exploded, confused the hell out of me haha. So if I activate one touch stone, die, get revived, then find another one, it's not going to work?
drop it over rabbitholes. don't bother baiting them unless you're after spiders, waste of good food
Each one works one time. So if you find one, die, it blows up, and then you find another one you'll be able to die again in relative safety. Similarly, if you activate more than one and then die you'll resurrect at whichever stone is nearest to where you died.
Basically think of them as extra lives. Every active stone is another life, and activating one is basically like picking up a 1-up.
You might want to leave little stockpiles of supplies around them, since your inventory gets cleared out when you bite it. I like to leave a spear, a log suit, a fire pit with some fuel, and if I can wrangle it some food next to each one.
Tallbirds will give up eventually when you steal an egg, but it takes ages. Budget a few hours of daylight for some Benny Hill action before you nab one.

The next character is more for beginners since they
light themselves on fire in the dark and don't take damage from fire

And then the LORD David Bowie saith to his Son, Jonny Depp: 'Go, and spread my image amongst the cosmos. For every living thing is in anguish and only the LIGHT shall give them reprieve.'
The icons for what you need to craft are not only microscopic, but there's no titles? That's pretty weird.

Oh that's even better. I dig that strategy. After I was revived, I didn't last one more day because I had nothing. Thanks, man!
Three playthroughs so far.
Not feeling it so far, it's like MMO gathering mechanics: the game. It seems like too much of it relies on finding a gold nugget, and one time it was scarce enough where I was just walking through the map repeating the same gathering and crafting over and over until I decided to kill myself and start over.

I've made it 9 days so far, on a really bad generated map too. I couldn't find any rock/gold/grass spawns so every night i'd frantically just make it. It wasn't till after that run that I learned that there is a map when you press the options button which would have made my days so much easier.
Something I figured out on my last run was that there's these easily missable dark paths (and in the case a brick one). When you run on them it actually increases your speed. It would probably be a good idea to build your base camp off one.
Does the tier 2 camp fire stick around when it burns out?

The simplest way to prepare one for a respawn is to just carry a stack each of grass, twigs, flint, and logs down it and just drop 'em on the ground in the surrounding environs. That'll give you all the raw materials you need to make torches, campfires, and basic tools, weapons, and armor. That should get you back to your main camp with little trouble.
Making full-blown little camps around each one is pretty excessive, but building vacation homes that you'll only use once, if ever, is a great way to engage in conspicuous consumption, which is the perfect way to signal to the local fauna that you're the one in charge. They'll be mad jealous of your largesse before you know it.
Yep. Firepits last forever. All you have to do is feed it some fuel for instant chestnut-roasting action.

I found a tiny box being guarded by a garden gnome. Was too afraid to pick it up. I escaped death twice thanks to the grass armor. I had no food so had to steal the tallbird's egg and just barely survived the battle with it. Then got attacked by hounds at night and just barely survived that.
Help decide my fate GAF. I'm on day 10 living in an area surrounded by rabbits. There's no real danger around me except for a tail bird that I stay away from. I could probably live comfortably in this spot for a long time.
OR
I could jump through that wormhole next to my camp and end up who knows where.

Weird, same thing just happened to me. Haven't had this problem with other games.
Did you try restoring licensese in settings? Forget what option its under.

You could just play it with a friend if it did, novel concept, I know.
I love Don't Starve but it screams for co-op so badly, it's a shame.

Survived to day 4 twice. Now taking my time and have found even more different things. Every experience has been different.
Too late I ate some monster meat and that killed me, survived 11 days though!
I'm really enjoying this game.
