When Woodie comes from low points to high back without transforming (by eating materials): Picked up when already holding another Lucy (Lucy will do these sounds often, which gets actually pretty annoying.) Lucy will talk to woodie upon certain circumstances, quotes indicating something more serious listed below (credit goes to Don't starve wiki):

If your Lucy is far away from you and you need to use her immediately, you can craft common axe and make first chop. Lucy can be also used as a weapon, but she deals only 13,6 damage, so if you have to fight in very early gameplay, craft common axe instead. It takes 3 seconds to chop large tree, 2 seconds to chop medium tree and one second to chop small tree. She has infinite durability and Woodie chops trees 3x faster with her. Lucy is Woodie's starting and also special item. He also don't require flint for begining to get some sources and his bit higher warm insulation makes him handy at surviving in public servers, especially during winter spawn. Summing it up, Woodie pretty much beats Maxwell in most straight-paced terms. This + ability to become insane easily means much easier nightmare fuel farms. Woodie has active sanity regeneration as he gets +5 sanity per planted pinecone. This negates dusk/night effect, but makes nightmare fuel farming harder, unless you summon enough shadows to keep your sanity at low. Maxwell is the only character in game that has passive sanity regeneration: 6,66 sanity per minute, same as Tam O' Shanter. He also has 150 health points so I would personaly rather stick to Woodie over Maxwell. Woodie has double befriend time for pigs and bunnies, that can be enhanced by giving football helmet. That is so small amount that most bosses and depthworms can kill you in single hit in case of no protetction. Maxwell can have only two duelists at a time and has only 75 health points. Head to Tree farm section if you wanna read the reason. Maxwell again outnumbers Woodie, but the fun fact is: Woodie doesn't care about stumps. Shadow digger digs only stumps, not sapplings. Woodie is alone while Maxwell can summon miners and outnumber Woodie. When Treeguard appears, shadow loggers starts to follow Maxwell's kitting pattern with little effort left to chop the trees around them. Woodie chops trees faster than maximum amount of loggers Maxwell can summon, even in human form. Maxwell's Shadow loggers chop any tree around him and Maxwell, ignoring their size, which means they chop even small trees that has no seeds. Meanwhile this sounds cool on paper, it doesn't work that much in the game, because minions are often incredibly unintelligent. Maxwell is able to summon minions that can assist him in choping, diging, mining and fights. While singleplayer Woodie was character that could just live in beaver mode because of how overpowered it was, DST version is actually well balanced.Įver thought these characters are actually similar? Yup, they are, so hence I decided to make comparison between them and define who is better at which situation. Woodie lost his remarkableness at cost of actual game balance. It can be basically said Woodie is most changed character in DST so far (aside from Willow & Maxwell). are there any character differences between these two games? I have been playing Woodie in the original Don't Starve. It's also easier to live on sanity harmful food, such as Monster meat jerky, or cooked monster meat only, considering you can recover health somehow. Woodie has the ability to recover sanity very quickly, which makes him very effective in seasons that have long dusk and night segments. Inexperienced players however might have problem with insanity, often resulting into death by Terrorbeaks, but if you follow this guide and you're able to learn fullmoon cycles, Woodie might be ideal character for you. This character excels in cooperation with other players. Because of his choping and time saving abilities, Woodie can provide infinite ammount of logs, making some crafting items expensive in wood much easier to make. One simply does not run out of logs with this character.
