“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.
Decreased Insanity threshold all characters to 20%; originally 15%.

Characters with 200 maximum 
will be targeted by Shadow Creatures when at 40 ; originally 30.
Health and Sanity restoration from food occurs over time instead of instantly.

Tips
- Trade Fish (obtainable in Winter through the Ocean or by killing Merms) with the Merm King to obtain Kelp Fronds, which can also be dried for a good Sanity source food.
- Since Winter stops the growth timer of Farm Plants, that means crops that fully grew in Autumn will never spoil as long as they're not picked up. This can be used as a way to store them fresh throughout the whole season.
- Killing Bunnymen and Splumonkeys for Carrots and Bananas respectively is another way to obtain food during Winter.
- Exploring new areas with unpicked food sources, such as the Lunar Island and Moon Quay on the ocean, and the Ruins and Lunar Grotto in the caves, helps in staying alive as well.
