This guide will show you what sanity is and how you can restore your sanity
What is Sanity?
In don’t starve sanity is your mental health.
you could say that when you sanity is very low you go NUTS.
there are different ways to restore your sanity and also different things you need to to go nuts for in don’t starve.
for example to get nightmare fuel you need to go nuts so rabbits will become beardlings, if you kill beardlings you get nightmare fuel. So always keep a chest full of rabbits so if you go nuts you can at least collect some nightmare fuel.
there are also some characters that do weird things when they go nuts.
willow for example starts random fires when her sanity is below 50.( really dangerous)
