question Questions about a mod idea I've got.

[ScrewdriverLad]

Hello! I'm working on some ideas for a Character mod for a character from Outer Wilds - known as The Hatchling - my idea is that they have 6 special items, 2 items for each of the 3 main alien races in the game. However, I'm not entirely sure how to implement these, and some of them may not be possible. So I figured I could ask people here about it.

THIS THREAD MAY CONTAIN MINOR SPOILERS FOR OUTER WILDS, DO NOT PROCEED IF YOU PLAN ON PLAYING THE GAME.

• Hearthians

Probe Scout - Some kind of sentry, but rather than damaging foes, they either slow or stun them. This would require a lot of balancing, though.

Signal Scout - My original idea was that you could place an item into it, and it'll point you toward others, like the Navigadget in Hamlet. (However, I don't have access to the code of Hamlet which might be problematic.)

• Strangers

Artifact - Acts like a torch, but it damages any non-survivors caught in the radius

Vision Torch - I have two ideas for this one. Either it would be a torch that reveals your position to the global map at all times, or it would exchange hunger and sanity for HP.

• Nomai

Nomai Mask - Allows survivors to respawn without losing Max HP, (must use an item on it first, maybe a Telltale Heart?) and automatically respawns the Hatchling.

Warp Core(s) - A Black and White Warp Core must be placed down, but it will then let you teleport between the two, with a high sanity cost.

 

As for the character themselves, I was looking at a few specific abilities:

- A 22-minute timer. when it expires, they are killed and respawn at their Nomai Mask. Upon respawning, it'll fully restore their HP, Sanity, and Hunger.

- No sanity drain from ghosts

 

so, are these possible? Is there anything in particular I could use to help me figure out the mod and how to make it?
