What I think we NEED in the QoL update

[Capybara007]

Let us add a sea sprout starter to an antlion boulder, and then sink that "boulder with a sprout" like we do with fig tree nuts, this way the boulder wont grow but the sprout will, esentially planting sea weeds anywhere.

QOL updates don’t really add any new content though it just improves upon what is already there.. The only exceptions are things like Global Pause button: This would be NEW Content they would have to add.. but it also qualifies as QoL.

Another example would be: Adding new types of world gens to the game that splits islands up into little archipelagos or something to that effect.

Adding new animations or additional attacks to a character or mob (cough cough Ancient Guardian Rework) would be something covered in a Game update instead of a QoL update..

These QoLs were started so Klei could take a break from doing any serious content releases while at the same time improving upon what is already there.

Take Reap What You Sow as an example: They completely changed the way Gardens and Gardening works entirely redesigning it, that was NOT counted as a QoL even though it only improved Gardens, it also added a crap load ton of new animations, gameplay mechanics and features which made it an actual game content update instead of a small QoL.

QoL would be for example- reducing ALL crafting costs that require 4 planks down to just 3 so people spend less time gathering wood and more time playing the game outside of gathering wood (which still counts as playing the game… but if Klei has learned any valuable lesson at all with the release of their newest character Wanda- TIME IS EVERYTHING!)

If people don’t have hours to sink into DST, they don’t want to spend all their time gathering wood to build a few crafts.. they probably want to spend that time actually fighting or exploring the newer biomes.

The addition of a Maxwell rework should (hopefully) make wood gathering easier eventually. Plus Woodie exists and tricks like Bearger deforesting exist too. 
 

Wood gathering is in a pretty good place right now tbh

Maxwell's rework probably won't make him better at gathering wood considering he's already the best way to gather wood other than Bearger.

Woodie, even with sweet food from Warly and even while in werebeaver form, is the worst gatherer of logs. Woodie fans can disagree with it just like they can disagree that 5+5=10, but objectively speaking Woodie is far, far, far, far slower than Maxwell because Woodie can only do one thing at a time while Maxwell can simultaneously chop up to 4 trees and dig stumps and pick up the logs all at the same time. It would take several Woodies cooperating together to get logs at the rate Maxwell does.

I think klei really surprised us with the new utility Wanda brought to the table. I hope they keep that same energy with Maxwell.

Yes combat perks can be overrated.

Yes gathering perks can be overrated.

Lets get some new utility. Maybe Maxwell can create people their own shadow clones as way for him to help others reach a higher potential. Perhaps he can see varying dark affinities in everyone and momentarily unlock that. I think it fits really well thematically as a nightmare fuel "tutor". 

Maxwell for the next defence against the dark arts teacher, who agrees?

This is All PRE Rework Maxwell.. I hate the be “That Guy” but Klei Wouldn’t have speed up the speed of Woodies Chopping, made his Axe Infinite Durability, if they didn’t intend for him to be a good wood gatherer.

Maxwell being the former shadow king and summoning more then just a few garden helpers of himself NEEDS to happen.. because well, this Hallowed Nights image exists, and he’s seen pulling far more out of his books then just a couple worker minions-

Now unless these images are non-canon: Then Maxwell has regained some of his former shadow powers we saw him lose at the start of DSTs William Carter Puzzles:

I have a feeling that Maxwells rework isn’t going to be just a simple tweak to his worker clones… This dude was once the main villain of the franchise, give him something more interesting then that Klei, please I beg you!

Make turfs produce multiple units when you craft them, they're purely decorational and it feels ridiculous that i have to fork over 80 logs for 20 carpet turfs. It'd also be nice to get more turfs like beard rug.

How about more ways to get Honeycomb/Beewax instead of limited sources from Beehives & Beequeen ? 

My opinion is add "10 to 60% chance (or lower) to get 1 Honeycomb when we harvest 1-6 Honey from Bee Boxes"
