Gourmand Posted November 6, 2019 Share Posted November 6, 2019 Does anybody else feel as if the rain mechanic is in need of a revamp? As of now, rain only has a unique effect on WX-78. His health loss when wet makes sense for the character, but how can rain add to the other characters uniqueness? Wurt Wurt is a Merm. Merms (including the king) have a default wet modifier. This makes sense, because amphibians need to stay moist to survive. They absorb water through their skin to aid in respiration. They are ectothermic, meaning they can't self-regulate their body temperature. So if they get too cold, they can die. Proposal: Wurt should gain a slight stat regeneration when wet, but suffer from a stat drain (other than sanity) when too wet/cold. Or Wurt gains faster movement when wet, and moving drains the wetness meter. Wormwood Wormwoods main crutch is his health. He's a plant. He even has quotes about how appreciative he is of the rain (if my memory serves me correct). Proposal: Wormwood gains health regeneration in the rain. Misc. Rain should be changed on the lunar island. The magic of the moon has enchanted the surrounding water with strange properties. Ooo. Ominous. Feel free to discuss and propose tweaks on these effects. Rain has potential. #TeamRain. This is a movement. This is... A New Rain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fill-Lips Posted November 6, 2019 Share Posted November 6, 2019 Wurt and wormwood not gaining bonus effects from rain is fine, even if it doesn't make sense. For lunar isles, I dunno, maybe rain causes stuff to get washed onto its shores? It allow for bull kelps to be regrown/replanted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whisperlisc Posted November 6, 2019 Share Posted November 6, 2019 Wormwood and Wurt additional perks during rain would be pretty cool but i think they have enough good perks already. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GetRektKids Posted November 6, 2019 Share Posted November 6, 2019 I've been trying to get an answer to this forever. DOES ANYONE ELSE KNOW THAT IT ALWAYS RAINS ON DAY 5, 6, OR 7!?!?!?!?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nolgore Posted November 6, 2019 Share Posted November 6, 2019 Health regen for Wormwood in the rain would be great, would make up for losing his (arguably I guess) best perk from DS, immunity to Hay Fever. Might also help in Spring when every bee in the Constant is trying to kick his ass. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1v0 Posted November 6, 2019 Share Posted November 6, 2019 I would really enjoy different type of rains (not only extra mechanics for characters). Imaginate an acid rain where you need to stay under a tree (or build the shelter from SW(i'm still waiting on that building for DST)) . Or a rain that make puddles like the flood season in SW and those puddles make you more wet and stuff... There are many options but... To tell the truth I'm starting to think Klei is of the mind "If it's not broken, don't fix it". As there are many parts of DST (DS) that need to be reworked for DST for example the insanity(at the moment it's nothing else than shadow fuel farm), the meatballs exploit, cooking(it has gotten better but not a full rework), etc... As that content worked for DS but for DST... it works 50/50... At this point I'm just waiting for more and more new content to pile up before I start playing the game again. And I really hope they start reworking old parts of the game. The characters are a good start but the game need more... I want an DLC level of content drop... But then again I know that they can't do this for free... So little by little... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Okay now this is something that needs fixing, Wormwood should get health back from being decked by splumonkeys. Low on health, go piss some monkeys off.

mistrbushido Posted November 7, 2019 Share Posted November 7, 2019 One of my favorite features of shipwrecked is the variety of precipitation types (wind and rain, hail and constant lightning, heavy rain and flooding). It would be nice to see more variety in DST besides just plain rain and snow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike23Ua Posted November 7, 2019 Share Posted November 7, 2019 I can tell you from experience that Rain is Wickerbottoms enemy. Even with an Umbrella I can not seem to keep the rain from still draining her Sanity at an Alarmingly fast rate Day 45- Death By Endless Rainfall.
