Ocean/DST
 |
 |
In Don't Starve Together, the Ocean becomes accessible with multiplayer Boats starting with the Turn of Tides update in Return of Them.
Puffins will appear on the Ocean instead of the other Birds. Hounds can swim, making Hound attack possible on the Sea. Some Ocean Debris, Driftwood Piece, Boat Fragment, Cut Grass and Twigs will regularly appear close to the player in the Ocean, making Driftwood Piece and Boat Fragment renewable, they sink after few days.
The brightness of the sea corresponds with the time it takes for an Anchor to raise and drop. The darker the ocean, the longer it takes for the anchor to drop/raise.
Some items, instead of sinking, will stay afloat. Non-irreplaceable items that sink in the ocean cannot be retrieved, while irreplaceable items that sink will return to the coast afterwards.
