For whatever reason, be it the DLCs, or the characters in this game that are not is DST, you decided to play Don’t Starve. Upon loading into the game, you found you only have two character choices: Wilson and Wormwood.

Warbucks

Warbucks was a character that was removed (not really) back in February 2019 from Don’t Starve by the developers. They felt that Warbucks didn’t really fit the game, and chose to remove him. However, all his code was left in the game files intentionally so players could access him if they really wanted to. Warbucks was added to a retired character list, and can be accessed with the following two commands, in this order:

  • RETIRED_CHARACTERLIST = {} — Makes Warbucks visible within the character select menu, but locked.
  • Profile:UnlockCharacter(“warbucks”) — Actually unlocks Warbucks after he is made visible and makes him playable. This command does not have to be used if the you have already used the “Profile:UnlockEverything()” command.

NOTE: Upon closing the game, Warbucks becomes hidden again. If you want to select him from the character menu, and assuming you saved your profile using the command under the “IMPORTANT, READ FIRST” section, you must input only the first command into the console.

To re-lock Warbucks, input the following command:

  • Profile.persistdata.unlocked_characters[“character”] = false
