Year of the Catcoon is an event in Don't Starve Together that began on January 27, 2022[1][2] and ended on March 24, 2022.[3] It is inspired by the Chinese Year of the Tiger, which starts on February 1, 2022 and ends on January 21, 2023. In the Chinese zodiac, each year is related to an animal in a 12-year cycle.
It is similar to the Year of the Gobbler, Year of the Varg, Year of the Pig King, Year of the Carrat, and Year of the Beefalo events, which came in the years before, and shares mechanics with them, such as the Offerings crafting tab, and most crafted items from those events. However, there are several additions and differences to be implemented into this event. Players can revisit this event by setting Events to Year of the Catcoon in the World Customization menu.
During the Year of the Catcoon event, a new minigame was added to the Trade Inn in which the player can raise a baby Kitcoon.
Tips
Ticoon may lead the player to potentially dangerous mobs or locations, be aware of the surroundings when following them. Ticoon may also be lightly nudged in another direction, by walking into them, to avoid walking directly into danger when hunting for Kitcoons.
Ticoon and Catcoons do not get along, be cautious when around Catcoons or they may end up fighting and dying.
Kitcoons found will follow the player until they are either abandoned or sent home to a Kitcoon Nursery, though they seem similar to Critters in the fact that they avoid any combat and do not take damage. They are slightly smaller than Critters in appearance, and can follow the player in addition to a Critter.
