Hornete Posted October 12, 2020 Share Posted October 12, 2020 Something that I think would make ocean life and exploration a lot more interesting are ocean currents! Ocean currents could spawn and look similar to world generated roads, but for the ocean! They have a lighter color than the ocean biome they are on, and are animated flowing in a direction. Players can travel the ocean currents on their boats for more speed(Perhaps a 25% to Boat speed?, or -25% if traveling against it) Items, if on a ocean current will get pushed along with the current too. Perhaps this can be used as an interesting and cool way to transport items by using the currents! Ocean mobs such as fish, gnarwails, squids, sharks and more will use ocean currents to travel at a faster rate if need be. Ocean currents would add to the ecosystem of the ocean and make exploration of it more interesting. What do you think of the idea? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well-met Posted October 12, 2020 Share Posted October 12, 2020 I feel the ocean having no path is one of the key points that sets it apart from land. Plus I'm pretty sure Klei wants to avoid SW mechanics as much as they can. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well-met Posted October 12, 2020 Share Posted October 12, 2020 You know perfectly well your idea is basically a permanent SW wave built into the floor. or yeah the wind Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hornete Posted October 12, 2020 Author Share Posted October 12, 2020 33 minutes ago, Well-met said: You know perfectly well your idea is basically a permanent SW wave built into the floor. or yeah the wind This is a very silly comparison. It's like trying to say RoT boating is the same as SW boating, but of course it isn't. I believe these ocean currents are unique enough to seperate themselves from SW waves. I'm opposed to the idea of SW waves personally because it would just be hell trying to use RoT boats on an ocean full of them. But with currents that only affect a small portion (Remember, I was thinking these ocean currents would spawn similarly to roads, they wouldn't be much larger than them either), If you're going against a current you can simply row/sail out of it and you are good to go. I don't remember SW waves being able to push items along a path either, nor do I remember ocean mobs using waves to travel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
