WX78 rework idea

[Extrand]

Change one, WX78 heals 50% from all healing sources.

Change two, WX78 can no longer eat gears

Feature one, WX78 has a unique building called lab: model 78 that can be entered by WX78s and costs 2 gears 1 cut stone and 2 electrical doodads. The lab heals WX78s for 5 hp a second when entered and is not effected by the healing nerf. The lab needs power to work and power is acquired by by inserting food. Food give different amounts of power and the math for that is (hunger gain when at optimal freshness + health gain optimal freshness x2) the lab can have max 300 power stored. The lab uses 5 power a second when healing.

Feature two, when charged by lightning entering a lab will uncharged you but add 100 power to the lab.

Feature three, WX78 starts the game with a warp detector that can also be crafted with 1 thulecite medallion, 1 electrical doodad and 2 gears. The warp detector will alert the player when a warp vault spawns and mark its general location on the map. Warp vaults spawn every 3 days and can be be opened by WX78. Both opened and closed warp vaults can be hammered for 2-4 gold braking a closed warp vault destroys the contents. In a warp vault there is one odd disc and a note. The note being the notes of a “unknown” inventor and him trying different modifications on his invention.

Feature four, Discs can be loaded in to the lab to start a “group project” (celestial portal, merm king, ect) the lab can not be used while the project is on going but the project can be canceled any time returning all materials and the odd disk. The items required in the project depends on where the disc was found. When completed the modification tab will be unlocked for WX78 in the lab and a new modification craft. What craft is unlocked depends on where the disc was found and is hinted at in the mysterious note fund with it. Mods cost 200 lab power to build and are permanently locked to the WX78 that builds it until removed or replaced and have there own equip slot. Mods are removed upon death. WX78 can only have two mods at a time.

Extra Warp vaults will prioritize spawning so that there is always one of each type on the map and super prioritize spawning vaults that have not had there mod unlocked. If there is one of each type of vault on the map spawning will stoped until the vaults are opened or broken.

List of possible modifications and where to find them (this is the part that would need the most tweaks):

Terrain navigator mod: Found in: Grasslands. Mod unlock requirement: 1 gear, 10 frog legs, 1 electrical doodad. Effect: 20% speed boost, inability to utilize roads or paths, immunity to spider web slow.

Visually revolutionary mod: Found in: Graveyard. Mod unlock requirement: 1 gear, 1 gem (no type requirement), 1 electrical doodad. Effect: Zoom out and mapping range increased by 30%.

Kid, I like where your heads at but I'm really trying to warp my mind around what's happening in the first half. You also might wanna explain why you are changing the things about WX78 and how it would improve on his current form.

Other than that incorporating more lore with Wagstaff is a nice touch and I can definitely get behind mods that make WX excel in the certain situations.

I always love more Wagstaff stuff, but I doubt WX would willingly let my mans Wagstaff do anything to them

Yeah, WX clearly despises the guy, even going as far as to say he shouldn't be trusted.

If he wasn't being protected by not being actually there, Wx would have beaten Wagstaff while everyone is watching. I've a feeling there's a reason why the murderous, constantly looking to enslave things, death loving robot says not to trust somebody.
