ArubaroBeefalo Posted March 3, 2020 Share Posted March 3, 2020 Hi there, I was in my game and summer arrives and the first thing that comes to mind was "i should kill antlion before it starts to make 43476 silkholes arround my base"but then i though "i will kill him to prevent this but what a waste of time for such loot (that its cool if you play with friends (you save a lot of purple gems)". What if antlion gives also an orange gem? This will make him a litle more worth and that gem isnt as good as yellow and green, also the recipe he gives needs it. More HP could be fun because antlions fight its unique and you only can beat him 1 time per year. Ok, he has a lot of damage and same HP as Deerclops but he is hitten more often and you go to kill him when you think you are ready. Just to spicy a little this awesome mob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Well-met Posted March 3, 2020 Share Posted March 3, 2020 No. This would indirectly undermine DF's loot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DF has one of the best loots in the game so i dont see the problem. But for solo players, antlion only gives a few meat and trinkets... and you loose 1 thermal stone Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sinister_Fang Posted March 3, 2020 Share Posted March 3, 2020 I think it would be pretty neat if the gem dropped if you were able to kill the antlion without it healing at all. Just a little extra reward for a "flawless" fight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
me real life Posted March 3, 2020 Share Posted March 3, 2020 35 minutes ago, Well-met said: No. This would indirectly undermine DF's loot. What about how the Malbatross always drops blue gems and has a chance to drop a yellow gem? Two bosses can drop the same generic item, it's not like anyone is going to stop killing Dragonfly entirely just because the Antlion drops one (1) orange gem.

Easonade Posted March 3, 2020 Share Posted March 3, 2020 But other than lazy deserter, you only need orange gems for explorers and foragers, and the needs for both of them can usually be satisfied from the ruins unless you are truly unlucky Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(le me slave a pig to activated it xD))... unless its a thermal ston-orange gem change Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shadowDigga Posted March 3, 2020 Share Posted March 3, 2020 I'd rather have it drop a blueprint that can't be obtained by trading. Maybe it would drop a blueprint for orange gem (made of sand stones) and reside in Refine tab so you can refine impure orange gems into pure ones?

X-lem Posted March 3, 2020 Share Posted March 3, 2020 Love the idea. Killing Antlion after getting the blueprint is basically only for avoiding the sinkhole and that's not much of a reward. The blueprint is useless after the first one or two. I have way to many sandstones and the amount of meat/trinkets it drops is sad. A single orange gem would be a perfect balance imo. I don't think this would take away from DF at all. DF drops a lot of good gems as well as scales. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That would make trading with the antlion more worthwhile after you've gotten the blueprint to refine them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
