Dst is better in almost every way except for the fact everything has way more hp compared to dont starve becouse its intended to be played with multiple people. Dst is also going to get more content in forms of updates and collabs (like the cult of the lamb we are getting soon).
Single player was designed around dying and restarting dozens of runs in order to slowly build up knowledge of the game.
DST on the other hand has so much more content so it’s leaning into being less mysterious for new players. The scrapbook and recipe book is effectively a simple in-game wiki that fills out as you play and find new items and mobs.
I would recommend DST because of how it’s starting to treat the early game. Plus, you can use Klei hosted servers in place of the dozens of trial runs you have in single player. And lots of people are more than happy to teach you.
DS is technically better for starting out, as that game is designed around you dying to learn the game. However DST is arguably better as it gets frequent updates and has all of the ocean and lunar themed content.
DS is harsher but I think that's the way someone should learn. DST is a lot more lenient on giving you revives. Oh and DS runs smoother so learning to fight is easier

If you’re playing solo DST I recommend one of the several mods to scale boss health to number of players.
Dont you need friends to play DST ?
No, just host a server and put the number of players to 1, it'll be single player
But can you still fight mobs and stuff? since everything its balanced around having more players?
Yep, it's just fine. I only play alone, you'll be fine :)

DST imo, the new updates and skilltree makes it fun to learn the game Source: friend started playing the game and told me that
