In Don't Starve: Shipwrecked, Wilson finds himself stranded in a tropical archipelago. Both of these two insect groups are colloquially grouped with gnats, however.Klei Entertainment has partnered with our friends at CAPY, creators of Superbrothers: Sword and Sworcery, Super Time Force and Below to bring fans of Don’t Starve the latest single-player expansion: Don’t Starve: Shipwrecked! Neither of these taxonomical terms refer to gnats, "Culicidae" is the scientific name for the mosquito family, and "Drosophila" is the genus that includes fruit and vinegar flies. Wickerbottom refers to the gnats as "Culicidae Drosophila".Attacking Gnat swarms is a very good way to charge Obsidian Spear, Obsidian Axe and Obsidian Machete, doing so also does not reduce any durability.Gnat swarms also detach as soon as a new day starts, allowing a brief period to break the lock Gnat swarms have on the player.Maxwell does not have the sanity loss from Gnat Swarm as a result of his dapperness.Iron Ore can be renewable outside of a Hamlet world by carrying a Gnat Swarm then using an Ice Staff to freeze it when a desired location is reached.

Leading them into the Gas Rainforest biome.Freezing them with an Ice Staff (this action does not decrease durability of the Staff but still drains sanity as usual) or Chilled Amulet, and then attacking them normally.However, they can be killed by other means: Attacking them directly will neither deal any damage, nor decrease durability of the weapon, possibly because they are not a single entity but a swarm and therefore can dodge attacks quickly. When force attacking, the swarm can only be hit if there are no other targets around. The swarm isn't a status effect, but is an actual entity that is flying around the player. It will follow the player until it finds a non- fire light source to attach to, either at Dusk or Night (such as Thunderbirds, Town Houses, or Glowflies). While attached, it will decrease the player's 12 5 Sanity per min and deal 1 damage every 10 seconds, starting 30 seconds after being attached. It takes the form of a swarm of bugs that will chase and attach itself to the player character's head. The Gnat Swarm is a Mob exclusive to the Hamlet DLC, which spawns from Gnat Mounds in the Painted Biome. “ Normally I like being around flyers, but I'll make an exception.
