Problem with shell bells


Recommended Posts

Hey you all! Hope your having a great day!

Today i wanna bring some attention to shell bells (remember those). Introduced in the "she sells seashells" update over a year ago. With these little crabby shells came a chance for us to make some goofy and serious recreations of our most hated and favorite songs. To name a few, never gonna give you up, gorge theme, sans theme and other meme classics. But like many others i didn't care to waste my life on making shell bell music.

It's a waste of time i said to myself. I will never... so anyway i wasted 4h+ on a shell bell song. And after doing so i quickly realized there was a problem. We don't have all of the octaves for recreating our favorite songs.

For those how aren't musically talented or haven't looked them up (just for a shell bell song) allow me to explain this with piano.

Piano has "7" octaves, that go higher and lower. In DST we have the numbers 3, 4 and 5, we got the middle ones. The problem is we only have the middle ones. 3 out of "7". Meaning how accurate the shell bell recreation is to the real song is limited. And i feel like that's really sad. This community is full of musically talented people and i want THEM to recreate there favorite songs and share it with the community.

I'm hoping Klei will add them in a future ocean update. We can only hope...... ("insert ocean is empty joke here") That's all i have for now.... happy Halloween and remember to be nice to others!

For the time being take this shell bell song by Holidayfruit

Okay, but can the cute little seashells from Shipwrecked people could sometimes find on the tiny little one or two tree islands be one of the new bells?

I swear I’m not just trying to shoe-horn in Shipwrecked into DST, BUT to be fair… Shipwrecked was a DLC entirely about exploring the ocean and living out at Sea.. so OF COURSE suggestions like this are going to pop up often to help fill in DSTs still mostly empty-ish waters.

come to think of it.. Coral Reefs that you can “shave” the Coral Shell off of would ALSO make a good music note shell.

Hypothetically speaking, how difficult would it be to add the extra octaves through a mod? I'm no expert in music but in theory someone could just change the pitch of the current bells to add new ones right?

I'm not sure, but I believe the current ones are already pitched to begin vvith

Mods shouldn't be the answer to this, but sure you can add new octaves with new shells in a mod.
