Bath time


Recommended Posts

I like the idea of a bathtub, in my opinion it should be crafted from a science machine and could not be used on a rainy day. The reason of such an item is to restore some sanity. Additionally, it could work as a croking pot does, where you could create recipes depending on the season. Can't be used by wx-78.

Crafting cost: 6 cut stone, 4 boards, 3 gold

Uses: infinite, each use takes a quarter of the day. Use only during day time.

Recipes: much like the croking pot, you could create a bath.

Recipe ideas. Honey, 2 electrified milk. "That was energizing". Replenishes health and sanity.

Three hot thermal stones. Warms you and restores sanity. (They lose all heat and have to be manually be removed from the bathtub.

Three pieces of ice. Cools you down on and restore sanity.

Three nitre. The basic salt bath to replenish some sanity.

Blue gem, red gem, purple gem."That was magical". Restore completely sanity, but spend the day in the bath tub, finish bath moments before night.

Im fine with infinite uses for something like a bathtub. They're kinda permanent items after all.  The recipe isnt nearly expensive enough from a cost/benifit reason or even a realistic reasoning though.  One of the ingredients should also be beeswax or it wouldnt have a chance of being waterproof.  Id recommend at least 6 pieces if not more.

 

Also after being built it should be empty and STAY empty until after 2 or 3 rains.  Needs to fill up with water obviously.  I would have using the bathtub improve your sanity drastically the first time you use it and each additional use restores less and less sanity.  After 3-5 uses it should need drained and refilled before you can use it again.  Who wants to bathe in dirty water ?

Thanks for the feedback everyone. I really appreciate that. It is not very balanced and it is not meant to be something complete. I just posted these ideas so that others can be inspired. I would like to see these ideas in Don't starve one day. Also a previous post about mushroom men that I made some days ago.

Yeh I would like to see this idea as a mod, and maybe you could drain water from pond with a new item bucket or something like that, or simplier just refine the water with a bug net ( lol ) no, maybe a item that cost much more to make the bath more balanced

Well the bucket seems against the concept of the game. It is more possible to wait after a rainy day and be unable to use during summer. In general water is present but you can never interact with eat.

In case they make it interactable they should then put thirst as a forth attribute to look out for. For example, berries would recover some thirst while beef jerky drains a little. During summer you would have to drink more and so on. But there are only ponds from where you could have some water.

In that way, bathing should have to do with water but not interacting with water. Same as cooking and eating.
