“We support character equality, everyone gets nerfed!”
–Someone, maybe.
The Uncompromising Mode mod makes some adjustments to the Don't Starve Together characters cast with the intention of leveling their power levels into a similar range.
Main changes are the changes directly made to the characters, while 
Indirect changes don't come from the character itself, but rather come from other features affecting their gameplay. 
Optional changes are toggled off by default and need to be enabled in the mod configuration screen before launching a server.
A lot of the changes are configurable in the mod's settings.
Overall Changes
These apply to all characters:
Favorite Foods no longer give extra hunger, they instead provide a varying amount of sanity between 5-15 based on their stat total.
The Sanity threshold for Insanity for all characters is now 20%, from 15%.
Shadow Creatures will aggro characters with 200 Sanity at 40, instead of 30.
Health and Sanity restoration from food happens over time instead of instantly.
Wilson
Main changes:
Transmute Icky Ⅰ also gives the ability to transmute:
Transmute 3 Monster Morsels into 1 Monster Meat.
Transmute 1 Monster Meat into 2 Monster Morsels.
Willow
Main changes:
Willow is able to instantly light things on fire during Winter, ignoring the Winter's smoldering system.
Bernie now wards away Shadow Creatures when held.
Indirect changes:
- Insanity Changes: as Insanity becomes more difficult, Willow's preexisting equipment and perks provides her more security over other characters.
Wolfgang
Main changes:
Maximum Hunger is increased to 300
Maximum Sanity is reduced to 150- Wolfgang's form is once again based on his hunger
- Wolfgang is Immune to Knockback when Mighty.
- Mightiness is now a resource used to perform Feats of Strength
Skill Tree changes:
- Wolfgang's skill tree has been expanded and re-arranged.
- Mighty Work decreases the Mightiness cost to instantly harvest resources with a tool, and allows Wolfgang to harvest harder resources with weaker tools at a higher durability cost.
- Coach Wolfgang no longer restores sanity, but can be used while in either normal or mighty form.
- Leg day reduces the cost and cooldown of Mighty Leap, and allows it to deal damage.
- Push the Limits increases maximum mightiness from all sources. And doubles the rate you gain it from the gym.
- Mighty Weapons reduces the Mightiness cost to perform a Mighty Strike
- Faustian Bargain locks Wolfgang into his mighty form while reducing hunger drain and HP.
- Shadow Mastery reduces your base damage down to 1.5x, but gives Wolfgang a ramping effect upto 2.5x damage so long as you continue attacking and don't get hit.
- Monsterous Growth greatly increases Wolfgang's sailing and Fishing capabilities at the cost of partial Mermification.
- Lunar Mastery allows Wolfgang to use Hunger in place of Mightiness to perform feats of strength, allows him to create ice floats by jumping into the ocean, and grants immunity to the Curse of the Moon Quey.

Wendy
Main changes:
Wendy's damage buff when attacking the same target as Abigail is reduced to 10% from 40%.
Sisturn converts Petals into Mourning Glory when they rot.
Spectral Cure-All crafting recipe changed to 4 Mourning Glory and 50 ; originally 3 Mourning Glory and 1 Telltale Heart.
Indirect changes:
Butterflies and 
Moon Moths are immune to AoE damage, meaning that Abigail can no longer attack them, even while riled up.
WX-78
Main changes:
Removing Circuits will not waste Charge (
) from the Charge Meter.
The Charge Meter has been completely reworked.
- The number of Circuit Slots have been increased from 6 to 8.
- All Circuits become active when equipped as long as there's at least 1 filled, otherwise, they will all become inactive.
- While equipped and active, Circuits only last for 20 days before breaking.
- WX-78 will have quotes about their "modules overheating" when the Circuits are close to breaking.
- If a Circuit breaks while still equipped, WX-78 will have all of their remaining Circuits removed and lose all Charge.
- If you have at least 1 slot in use, you will lose 1 every 300 seconds.
- Every slot used will decrease this time by 30 seconds.
- While no slots are being used, 1 will be refilled every 30 seconds.
- Every time WX-78 consumes a total of 50
worth of food at any time, the Charge Meter will be refilled by 1 . - When an electric food is consumed, 6 are filled.
- Sleeping, excluding forced sleep, makes you regenerate 1 every 6 + 2*(amount of occupied Charge Meter slots) seconds.
Most of the Circuits were changed or have new effects.
| Circuit | New/Changed Effects |
|---|---|
 
|
Processing Circuit gives +1.33 /min per minute and 7.5% Resistance to negative Sanity Auras, while Super-Processing Circuit gives +3.33/min and 20% Resistance to negative Sanity Auras.
|
 
|
Health Circuits now offer static damage reduction that applies before armor (2 per Hardy, 5 per Super-Hardy). |
 
|
Gastrogain Circuit now also slows down your Hunger drain by 7.5% per Circuit, while Super-Gastrogain Circuits significantly reduces negative stats of food. A single Super-Gastrogain Circuit reduces the negative stats by 50%, adding a second reducing them by 75%, then using 3 completely negates negative stats, and 4 actually turns them into stat gains with 25% of the original negative stat value now being positive (0 = -20 , 1 = -10, 2 = -5, 3 = 0, 4 = +5). Each Super-Gastrogain Circuit also makes your Charge Meter take 20% longer to lose 1  .
|
 
|
Speed Circuits now give you speed after you run non-stop for a certain amount of time, adding 1.5% speed per game tick up to a limit determined by the amount of Super-Acceleration Circuits equipped (1 = 133%, 2 = 150%, 3 = 166%, 4 = 183.333%), and if you reach high enough speed (not possible with one circuit) you enter a Rook charge. During the Rook charge colliding with any Mob other than small prey like Rabbits results in you and the creature taking damage and you getting knocked back if the Mob is tough enough. Once the player stops moving after gaining high speeds, their speed instantly goes below charge speed and starts decreasing slowly to the default value until you start accelerating again.
|
Damage sources that reduce Maximum Health, such as from Rats or Spore Hounds, aren't applied to WX-78.
Wetness will reduce WX-78's Maximum Health.
Removed healing when struck by Lightning.
Zaspberry and 
Zaspberry Parfait count as electric food and refill all of WX-78's Charge.
The Bio Scanalyzer can scan Mobs from Uncompromising Mode for Bio Data.

Winona
Main changes:
Winona's weapon and tool efficiency depends on her Hunger. Above 100 Hunger, weapons and tools will have 100% more uses; however, below 50 Hunger, weapons and tools will have 33% fewer uses.- Winona's work speed depends on her Hunger. Above 100 Hunger, her work speed will be 33% faster; however, below 50 Hunger her work speed will be 50% slower.
- Winona will lose some Hunger when doing actions that benefit from her perks.
- Winona's perks with efficiency and work speed are related to the following actions: chopping, mining, hammering, rowing, digging, attacking, picking and tilling. That means that a Fishing Rod, for example, will not gain the benefits and the detriments of Winona's perks.
All Structures can now be dismantled and moved around. Generators will retain their fuel level and catapults will retain their health when moved this way.- All structures are crafted in their item form, similarly too boat kits and equipment.
Winona's Toolbox: crafted with 2 Boards, 4 Gold Nuggets and 2 Trusty Tapes. It serves as a portable storage that has 12 inventory slots akin to the Tackle Box/Spectackler Box; however, only Winona can open it, and it can only hold either tools, dismantled structures, or eligible generator fuels (Nitre or Gems)
Electrical Conversion Kit: crafted with 6 Gold Nuggets, 2 Trusty Tapes and 2 Scrap. Turns Lanterns and Miner Hats into Electrical Versions of themselves, gaining double of their duration and making them capable of being recharged by Generators, Charged Lightning Rods and Energy Cells; however, they also lose the capability of being fueled by other means.
Energy Cell: crafted with a Trusty Tape, a Gold Nugget and 2 Nitre; makes 3 per craft. It serves as a portable non-spoilable method of recharging electrical equipment.
Generators can also be used to recharge electrical equipment (You need to have them equipped to interact with the Generator).
| Equipment | Energy Cell | Generators |
|---|---|---|
| Bug Zapper | +31% | +33% |
| Morning Star | +31% | +33% |
| Electrical Lantern | +12% | +33% |
| Electrical Miner Hat | +12% | +33% |
Winona can overcharge electrical items up to 200% power, increasing their strength and adding new effects.- Overcharged equipment has 2x power drain until reaching 100% power or lower
| Equipment | Effect 1 | Effect 2 |
|---|---|---|
| Bug Zapper | AOE damage now applies hitstun | |
| Morning Star | Periodically stuns enemies.
Shadows and Bosses are immune; unless mechanical. |
Deals increased damage to Mechanical enemies |
| Electrical Lantern | Increased light radius | |
| Electrical Miner Hat | Greatly increased light radius |

Winona's Catapult changes:
- Health reduced to 300 from 400.

Wortox
Main changes:
The following creatures do not drop Souls:
Bird- Butterfly
- Moon Moth
When using the map to teleport, each soul is worth 50% more individually. (The same number of souls teleport you 35% further than right-clicking would.)- Souls heal one target by 10, and scale down to 5 at minimum, and they heal over time. (At a pace of roughly 2 health every second.)
- Being affected by a released soul does not restore Wortox's sanity, and eating a soul depletes 10 sanity.
Optional changes:
- Disabled This setting will disable all Wortox changes.
Wurt
No changes. Yet.
Walter
Main changes:
With the introduction of Wixie, the delinquent, Walter has received a complete rework to his gameplay. He has given up his trusty slingshot in exchange for a command whistle that can be used while right clicking (the whistle does not take up any inventory slots).
