. Posted May 13, 2021 Share Posted May 13, 2021 I always was pretty happy about sea updates that give players chance for discovering stuffs but why Klei decided to turn DST ocean to SW's ocean? For who don't know what I'm talking about. SHIPWRECKED / OLD DST Now of course I know they can't bring old cartoon sea because of new boat system but they can give good old depth land effect. In shipwrecked, the world was islands and the artist nailed the beach effect but in DST corners really looks strange to be honest. Now I tried to make the thing that I believe would look cooler then base look. I'm not good at photoshop but you will get what I'm trying to say. MY DESIGN / CURRENT LOOK So share what do you guys think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hornete Posted May 13, 2021 Share Posted May 13, 2021 This would neat!, It's not something I overtly care about too much, but I wouldn't mind a change like this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grim the Posted May 13, 2021 Share Posted May 13, 2021 Isn't is SW ocean because the moon's impact with the ocean raised sea level? I like the idea, but the water should be a bit higher. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have high obsession about visual bugs etc. This is second thing I hate about game, it looks like land is flying on void. The first is non symetrical character skins. 1 minute ago, Grim the said: Isn't is SW ocean because the moon's impact with the ocean raised sea level?

DrMcGillacactus Posted May 13, 2021 Share Posted May 13, 2021 This isn't really the point of the topic, but it's somewhat related. Fun fact: The visual walls that held up the world in the papercraft ocean days are actually still there! You can ever so slightly see them poking from behind the water texture.

ADM Posted May 13, 2021 Share Posted May 13, 2021 I really don't miss it, however, if there's one day something like elevation in the game and not all the map is on the same level, then sure that would be cool to have a bit of everything, cliffs but also water on shoreline. That's some thing that have been discussed long ago some times here and that would be a promising world change if it see the day (probably not ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheGoldenDonut_ Posted May 14, 2021 Share Posted May 14, 2021 There should be a biome that has that sea level look. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cheggf Posted May 14, 2021 Share Posted May 14, 2021 Cool looking mockup. Looks a lot better than the current way the sea meets the land. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike23Ua Posted May 14, 2021 Share Posted May 14, 2021 Adm mentions elevated land, I get sad because return of them has concluded and we didn’t get elevated land but we got events that terraform the land. perhaps in 2023 we will get it. anyway, heck yes I agree we need this- I asked for it as part of one the previous QoL patch updates but it never came to be.. it is still there as you can see in my image here... it just needs to be brighter or something..

Fitzmir Posted May 18, 2021 Share Posted May 18, 2021 Finally, someone said it. When I switched from Don't Starve to DST, the hardest thing to get used to was the water feeling so gross compared to the Don't Starve Ocean. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EirikGerhard Posted May 19, 2021 Share Posted May 19, 2021 I guess that the current design makes it easier to measure the true distance between shore and boats, no matter which camera orientation you use. I can imagine people complaining that elevated land makes it hard for them to park boats without ramming them onto land Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fuffles Posted May 20, 2021 Share Posted May 20, 2021 It would be nice yes, but Im 99% sure there would be a technical problem associated with that. Turf is all on 1 plane, and Im pretty sure the ocean is on that same if not under the ground layer. Judging by that if you were to move the water layer lower so you can see the pretty land edge better the objects on the water would need to be moved down too and this brings the whole y axis can of worms into this, because if the boat were to be still ontop it would look weird and not aligned, if it were to be lower, players etc. would need to be moved down too... and y isnt really used so it would mean a lot of rewrites Just saying, it would be fun, but there are a lot of complications to it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
