PocketChicken Posted March 4, 2014 Share Posted March 4, 2014 Tesla Tree? whats that gonna do?Is there going to be some kind of energy storage thing? I'd like to hear your ideas and thought on this one. Wiki page: http://dont-starve-game.wikia.com/wiki/Tesla_Tree Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jbeetle Posted March 4, 2014 Share Posted March 4, 2014 hindsight, that would have been a really cool name for a naturally occurring lightning rod. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shoggoth Posted March 4, 2014 Share Posted March 4, 2014 We have no idea what it could be. And for all we know, it actually could be some naturally occurring lightning rod, even though it doesn't look natural. There are files for a small tesla tree and a tall tesla tree, though the tall tree file is empty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
F3RR1S Posted March 4, 2014 Share Posted March 4, 2014 Maybe it could appear in some sort of Tesla Forest biome, and this can be where volt goats inhabit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MilleniumCount Posted March 4, 2014 Share Posted March 4, 2014 Raincoat should protect against electricity because rubber.I think it does indeed protect you from being struck by lightning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brummbar7 Posted March 4, 2014 Share Posted March 4, 2014 Could be a tower defense, like the Houndius Shootius. Command and Conquer used them as a tower defense: http://cnc.wikia.com/wiki/Tesla_coil. Require a component from one of giants (spring I'd suppose), just like the Shootius requires Clopsy's eye. Although two sizes does kind of suggest they might naturally occur in some way. Or maybe the smaller requires volt goat horns, larger requires giant component. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Developer Bryce Posted March 4, 2014 Developer Share Posted March 4, 2014 Maybe it could appear in some sort of Tesla Forest biome, and this can be where volt goats inhabit. That was the original idea. I think the tree was actually the first thing we made for the DLC. The biome itself was going to be a key part in a larger system that we scrapped, so the rest of the biome went with it. We liked the Volt Goats so much that we decided to keep them, which is why you still see them in the game! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then again, Bryce didn't say the trees were removed, he said the biome they were designed for was removed, so perhaps there's still hope. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
