Should Pig King get a rework?


Recommended Posts

Pig King is currently only useful for one thing, gold nuggets and that’s about it. Yes you can do the year of the Pig King event from the 1% chance a pig spawns with a belt, but its more so for fun and to my knowledge not too useful.

Thats why I’m suggesting the Pig King rework, but I would like to leave this discussion up to the community instead of just a list of ‘do this do that’.

That way there is more than just one mind in this, kinda like how food spoilage was added from a community discussion. So reply with some ideas you think should be added to Pig King or updates to current aspects of the big man.

Though I will just add one idea here so I’m a part of it and not just sitting on my butt like the Pig King, perhaps he could have a grudge system where the more pigs you kill the more meat you need to pay him to lower that level until it is 0 and you will get gold again. Maybe stuff that would usually get you more gold would lower the grudge more than stuff that gives lower amounts of gold.

Welp that’s my idea, but might be annoying for game play so better leave it to y’all to come up with better stuff. See ya!

I could totally see pig king as a boss. It will still exchange gold nuggets as usual, but can be turned hostile under certain conditions(full moon, fed enough monster meats or nightmare fuel). A large lootbox will spawn once killed, and will respawn 20 days later.

I just want to be able to kill him and put his head on a stick. Perfect decoration for a Wurt World.

Honestly I'd love some sort of system where you can make Pig/Merm heads on sticks purely for decorative reasons.

Perhaps giving Pigskins to Merm King could allow you to craft a Pig Head on a stick for each piece of skin you give him.

No idea what you'd give Pig King to get Merm heads on sticks but theres gotta be something that works, maybe just killing a certain amount of Merms in a day makes him give you a Merm Head on a stick as well to be placed where you want when you give him stuff for gold.

I'd love a very small minor addition/rework for Pig King. I get he already fulfills a pretty important role (you can use him to literally make gold one of the most plentiful resources mid to late game by giving him a buttload of trinkets/frazzled wires but it'd be nice if he did a little extra under certain circumstances given he's a pretty big guaranteed set piece. 

You say pig king is guaranteed set piece, meanwhile: I’m looking at recent patch that let me generate my worlds without roads or paths in them.

Generating my world without a pig king is starting to sound very possible in the near future.

As far as reworking him goes.. maybe uhh yeah maybe he shouldn’t shower the player in free gifts when they give him the butt of his own dead villagers you killed?

He couldn't care less.

Even the people in Hamlet eat their own kind's coprse (judging by honey ham exists as a purchasable food item)

They should revisit the pig King wrestling match and make Snout Clouds actually useful, but other than that he's fine.

God I wish the snout tokens were good, so much potential and a great concept but in reality they're absolutely awful. 

You should get two permanent pig warrior allies that fight till they die but don't drop any loot on death.

I just want the pig king village to look more appealing rather than a village, it looks like a camp.

We need roads and light...and symmetrical pig house lanes...wait thats Hamlet. Dont you wish Hamlet was never made sometimes, and rather everything in Hamlet was put in dst ):

I would imagine if he didn’t attack, his many pigmen would not like you attacking him. Maybe he would summon the Year of the Pig king pigs to kill you or something.

All pig community have to get a rework, they have to get a basic economy based on trade.

Only issue is Minecraft has something similar with pigs as well, which might cause issues.

Other than that a pig economy sounds awesome.

Only issue is that’s an event which I doubt will be updated, but not impossible.

Maybe if year of the Pig king comes around again, it could happen. Only issue is the huge amount of mobs and bosses in this game.

I think you would need a head drop from either the merms or pigmen depending on which one you want, maybe around a 1-5% chance to drop per merm/pigman but who knows. Maybe it’s like how only certain survivors can craft stuff and only Pigmen are capable of crafting merm heads on sticks.

Also ya he is (almost) always in a world, and you would need insane bad luck for him to not spawn. Also yes you almost never need to look at his face again after giving him the wires, especially if you don’t have Year of the Pig King enabled in your world.

I really like the idea of a Pig King boss, in fact when I first saw him I thought “Oh jeez that’s a boss RUUUUUUN!!!!” 
Only issue with this method would be he refuses monster meat, but maybe a bundle rap could get around that.

Neat idea.

Why?

Why not.

maybe rather than more mechanics he could get more animations while inactive because feels so death in life

and lore, why he doesnt even transform into werepig?

My guess is that he is different from the other pigs, like maybe some different species.

He grows bigger, has horns, and builds a ton of bulk.

Maybe a second sleep animation would be neat though.

The more I read this the more I wonder if it’s a typo or not.

What? This would not cause problem.

-Minecraft pigs are not pigs, they are zombie pigmans that live in hell.
-Zombie pigmans exchange items for gold, they are not really trading. They are more like rewarding you.
-Minecraft have villager shopping too, i can't count how many game have villager trade mechanic in it.
