Sea biomes

[CaRat]

Alright let's DIVE into this heh I imagine for the next update deep sea fishing is a must but I think biomes in the sea and no I'm not talking about your traditional coral every so often or deep sea in ds I'm thinking more of having bull kelp biomes with murky waters(greenish) and your boat would get stuck but you would use an axe to chop it off for a bull kelp stock(10% per 30 seconds or something) or for deep waters icebergs with some pretty COLD RECEPTION HA so you would need a fire I really hope they add something like this and not just some fish

The bull kelp biomes should have something of value in them because people would otherwise just avoid them.

I would like to see something like an ocean equivalent to Hamlet's ancient pig ruins. Have rooms that require multiple people standing on pressure plates to activate a door, solve a puzzle, etc. Something that encourages a group to clear so it doesn't end up like the current ruins where it can be solo'd rather easy.

I don't want there to be content barred by multiplayer required gameplay. While the game is a multiplayer game, directly ignoring a part of the player base that plays alone for one reason or another would really terrible. It undermines skill and can really put a damper on any enjoyment of solo play when you know a entire section of the game is barred entry because you can't/won't play with other people.

Oh yeah totally I just couldn't come up with much maybe some sorta boss that's guarding something and it cant be done solo like you need 2 people to play beef horn(or you can make a solo world and have one horn be used)at once to wake him up and he drops stuff that will help you out it the great big sea that have different biomes like constant rain (attachment to boat) stuff like that

Just have it be accessed by bunnymen too I guess.

I really want more multiplayer inclined things. The Ewecus comes close (in a way). Things that promote having multiple people but not necessarily limited.

Sailing sorta fits that bill.

Heeeeey guess what ? Icebergs should be a thing for an update or another, look at Wilson's quotes for example :

ICEBERG =
	{
		GENERIC = "Let's steer clear of that.",
		MELTED = "It's completely melted.",
	},
ICEBERG_MELTED = "It's completely melted.",

So yeah, I wonder how they'll place Iceberg in the ocean, if they're going to be mobile or static, huge or small...

At least I hope it's gonna be different than what we have on land, we can have stacks of ice during winter pretty quickly so I believe they're going to be a danger when we're exploring more than anything else, but please, don't make a simple static rock...

 

On topic of ocean biomes, it might be nice than they add similar rooms like the salt one of the previous update, I really liked that and going on the ocean is something players have to be interested in, but they might need some more tasks to do. So yeah, keep going this way Klei we'd need some more stuff like this !

Also, I'd love we get mangroves (SW like or not) next to the swamp biome or at least some biomes related to the climate of the biome on shore.

I was thinking something like this as well. Basically make it easier with more players, but not strictly limited to that. Having bunnymen, merms, pigs, etc. would be an example workaround for that. My intent wasn't to exclude solo players at all, since I generally play solo myself. But I would like to see more multiplayer inclined features as well so the game lives up to its name (Together) a bit more.
