My proposals and feedback for Return of Them

[Bird Up]

I played the new content and I'm going to lay my feedback and ideas here! :

1. Mutated bosses. When Deeclops spawns, and if you're on the Island, he spawns there as normal, but when you kill him, he revives as MUTATED DEERCLOPS with unique attacks and item drops. The same could go for Bearger as he spawns in the world in a similar fashion.

2. Motor boat, much faster masts. I'm sure Klei is already working on this. Current boat is way too slow.

3. Bridge turfs or bridge structures that you can build on. Ocean base building anyone?

4. Return of Pugilisk, Quacken, Sealnado, or Tiger Shark. These bosses were excellent in Dont Starve. Now that boats exist, and waves are in DST code, I dont see why not have Quacken. Pugilisk would be an amazing fight in DST especially if it were over water. Klei could reskin Pugilisk as a scaled sea serpent and make him live in the ocean rather than be a ground burrower.

5. More incentives to go out to the deep ocean. As it stands now, there is no reason to go out into the deep water. The moon island can be reached most optimally by sailing the border of shallow water. Klei probably plans on adding waves in the deep ocean like from shipwrecked, because they are in the code, but what is the point of hazardous waves if there's nothing out there deep at sea? Maybe add crafting material like coral, bosses like Quacken, rare valuable treasures, valuable set pieces, boat parts, small tropical islands, an NPC like Yaarctopus from shipwrecked who gives exclusive sailing gear, or at least something out there that's worth searching for.

6. "Moon compass" or spyglass from shipwrecked. A moon compass would show the location of the Moon Altar pieces on the moon island, and it could be crafted by the Celestial Orb tab (you know, the moon rock that spawns from meteors) OR an added function of the ocuvigil could show the location of the moon island. And finally, the spyglass from shipwrecked could be a cheap way to guess where you might think you want to sail next, functioning the same way as it does in shipwrecked. 

7. Full moon and new moon events on the island. It seems obvious to me that the moon themed island should have full moon and new moon events. One idea - Wickerbottom and Maxwell both state in their quotes that the magic on the island isn't Max's dark magic. During full moon or new moon, the Gestalts could come to life and fight you like shadow creatures do, and when you kill them they could drop something similar to nightmare fuel... but it would be like... enlightenment fuel, and this new magic could be used at the Moon Altar to craft new magics. I'm not sure what the events could be, but there's a lot of potential there seeing how well Klei did with the shadow chess pieces new moon event.

8. More crafting options at the moon altar. Right now the options are very lackluster. The glass cutter is pretty great but can be substituted by the dark sword because they both do 68 damage. The glass axe isn't very useful when Woodie, Max and golden axe exist. I want the the level of crafting to be as unique as the ruins tab, or the obsidian tab from shipwrecked, where the items are truly unique and powerful. Right now the items you can craft really aren't worth the hassle of finding the island and building the moon altar.

Really? Making the boat faster would be a pretty easy programming task, and it’s not like they don’t know how slow the boat is or like it’s a real boat that needs a new engine! They obviously meant for the boats to be slow. The question is why.

Reason why is because its beta. I have no doubt full release will have more boat/sail options

Here's a small comment towards the feedback;
I understand people would want stuff from shipwrecked like Corals, but it doesn't fit thematically.
This is not a tropical ocean, it's your standard ocean, so keep this in mind.

This is just the Framework.

I heard somewhere that we're getting an update sometime today or tomorrow, but don't quote me as it could've been something someone pulled from their Pengullhole. 

Faster boats would be nice, but I care more for new boat types, or even skins. Not gonna expect skins for a while, though. 
As it is, there's nothing in the ocean.

There's Antchovies, but you can only get them by spawning in an unfinished net, which is sure to come later on.

I'm excited to see what else lies in wait for us in these updates.
