Thoughts and Suggestions for Beta and other QoL changes

[Pumking7]

Hello,

As I play and test the recent QOL beta I continue to be overjoyed over all the enhancements to items and gameplay that make DS much more enjoyable. I have some suggestions for slight changes or additions to features present in the beta, and other ideas and DST changes that would improve the experience of DS. For these suggestions I am hoping to not repeat things that have been previously brought up.

Suggestions for Content Surrounding Beta:

Spoiler

• Since Leafy Meat is a crock pot ingredient now, add DST leafy meat recipes that would be applicable in DS (leafy meatloaf, beefy greens and jelly salad)
• Add Tall Scotch Eggs as a recipe for Tall bird eggs, along with plain omelet and breakfast skillet to add more variety to the crockpot
• Remove Sea Sack's immunity to fire and make it instead immune to becoming wet, fitting more in line with SW's plentiful rain and very little fire, and how tiger sharks scales negate water (dumbrella)
• Make Vortex Cloak give 8 slots not 10, with all the strong buffs it received also making it also have more slots than the backpack seems like overkill
• Shears now give 2 bamboo/vines per cut, could the obsidian machete also gain double resources per harvest, since it is a high tier item unlike the shears

Suggestions regarding further QOL:

Spoiler

• Cork Bat: Make it retain its slow hit speed on a boat, and give it much more durability (around 80-100 to be on par with other weapons)
• Blue Relics: Allow Trawl netting in Lily Ponds and examining pecuilar objects in Hamlet to very rarely give Jeweled Truffle and Blue Sow, mainly for decoration. Also remove the ability to give Pig Queen multiple scepters and crowns.
• Seaweed: Allow it to be uprooted by meteors from the volcano falling upon it.
• Ocean Shoals: Let the purple, yellow and light blue fishes from the fish farm also be collected here
• Magnifiying Glass: Let it have world specific loot and more objects can become pecuilar
• Shark fins: Let them have a 33% to drop from Sea hounds, however the Sleek Hat will cost 2 Shark Fins in return
• Tea and Iced Tea: Let its ability last for 1 day and 320 seconds respectively, make them only cost 1 orange piko
• Tropical Bouillabaisse: Let its ability last for 2 minutes instead of 30 seconds
• Crock Pot: Let (Brown) Piko and Cooked/Lotus Flowers be put in crock pot for 0.5 meat and 1 vegetable respectively
• Sea Walls: Let Blue/White Whales and Sea Hounds attack them and not Stink Rays
• Viney Bush: Let Homeless Snakes/Poison Snakes infest them to create new snake infested bushes
• Rainforest Tree: Let them in bloom in DLCs other than Hamlet during Spring and Monsoon in RoG and SW respectively.

Suggestion for changes and items DST has:

Spoiler

• Let Empty Hollow Stumps become regular hollow stumps after a season plus the remainer of current season (No more catcoon extinction)
• Add Tail of Three Cats (RoG and HAM)
• Add Waterballons (RoG, SW and HAM)
• Let Attack Priority focus on a singular enemy you are fighting and not fight the closest enemy/alternate between the closest enemies.
• Add Steamed Twigs for Beefalo Domestication

Thank you for the amazing update

I agree with the egg recipes and also steamed twigs. Same goes for banana recipes.

Most players I think play both versions of DS, having recipes same for same ingredients in both makes sense.

I do agree with this.

I do agree with this. But I cannot agree with nerfing Vortex Cloak.
