Your wish for biome and tuft.

[Waoling]

I just wish that the terraforming tool would actually terraform, like if you just dig up and place a tuft it change nothing, but if you use tuft from the terraforming tool the tuft would have a effect, like if you terraform a whole area to be a atificial biome then things that are naturally in that biome would also spawn in the atificial biome, but maybe not as much or often as the natural biom.

I wish there was a terraforming tool that could create water tiles

 

Giant trees are excellent for summer but also clunky and uselesss. You are extremely dependent on map generation to get a good surface area for them and a big base. (Good surface area meaning a biome that looks like swiss cheese).

 

In my experience only one in about 50 maps are viable for a big tree megabase.

 

I also wish you could place tufts on boats.

I’m just gonna say it- the terra firms whatever the heck that thing is called is Ancient Forbidden Technology… and it allows the player to create turfs from the constant- With that said everything we have seen Klei pump out- DS/Shipwrecked/Hamlet/Gorge/Forge they all take place in the SAME fictional universe/universes.. & this magical device should “technically” be capable of letting me create my own biomes and stuff throughout my worlds.

Will that ever happen? Probably not… but when I see cool stuff like Gorges pink sugar trees- Makes me wish I could create them in my worlds..

terraforming to create mass of water would be cool and will make giant trees more valuable, same with creating sea rockturds to plant sea weeds

i would love biomes with perma low temperature or high temperatures like sw's volcano or new kind of exclusive weathers

and i really want that mothowl and all the bug related things (the bug lamp looks so cool) that were discarted from the grotto to be in a cave biome

as for turfs i would like that they include hamlet's beard rug, a bearger rug, archives turf (scott we still destroying your fancy biome to get the turf :3) and more turfs in general

Make Wormwood have some sort of terraforming power, his is still part of the "moon" and the "moon" seem to have the power to change and bend thing to it will, and also Wormwood gem seem to also have that power, to bend the surrounding to it will.

I always thought it'd be funny if the Strident Trident was also a pitchfork, considering it has 3 prongs like one, and could dig up land tiles into carryable land chunks that'd act like heavy objects that you could then place down in an ocean tile to create a land tile.

I like the idea, but the current biome system is a bit too raw and simple to really allow for much creativity with that kind of tool.

Biomes in Don't Starve are just biomes in name only. They (most of them) don't spawn anything, unlike other games of a similar genre, nor do they have any special effects that change the gameplay in a substantial way, with a few newly added exceptions.

In this game, what decides a biome is what resources are generated on it during World gen, and the turf they have. That's it. Does it have swamp turf, merm houses, tentacles and reeds? Is a Swamp. But you could torch everything in there, kill all the tentacles, remove the turf and the biome is gone, and you cannot move those resources somewhere else or rebuilt the biome, since those resources were what made the biome, no special effect.

When the game was reworked to a multiplayer, new biomes were added, and these had things that affected more than just the resources they had at world gen.

- Mosaic biome spawns meteors, and creates a renewable source of rocks & moon rocks.

- (One of the) Desert creates a sandstorm during Summer and summer only

- Lunar Island (and cave) has a special unique effect that swaps sanity with lunacy, spawns different pengulls during winter, and has interesting effects over hound waves.

Honorable mention to the Ruins for the nightmare cycle, which doesn't affect the biome itself, but changes the mobs and structures on it.

One interesting way in which the game can become more varied without making significant changes would be adding such small effects to old biomes, even when they only take effect during one season/specific event.

Nothing wrong with the way the system works now that allows for almost total creative control with no restrictions, I just think working a bit on the biome system could a bit more variety to a world that might start feeling a bit same~y after a while.

Also please Klei for the love of the almighty potato cup find a way to allow us to build in the mosaic biome

That actually sounds brilliant.

..oh no, I really want this now. I just wish it could be more easily balanced, it sounds way too easy to just plant some ocean around some AFK player in the middle of nowhere, or imprison joining players around the florid postern. at least most ocean stuff wouldn't be able to be cheesed with just a simple "you can only place land tiles in shallow water" rule

I wish more tuft are more unique.
