Maybe make it act like the soul jar as in you open the backpack as an item to find the spiders in a chest like screen.

We could add that on top of @blacknight7890’s original idea

and how about we make the extra slots specifically for spider related items sort of like the picnic casket or ammo pouch

[Dr.Webber]

If we are able to open it should we even make it take up the chest slot

Well it is very big and it seems to work best like that with the commands.

I’m thinking of making the craft 12 silk and six papyrus any notes

also, could you format the idea the changes we’ve made altogether for the skill tree

I might consider making it 6 paper but that sounds good either way.

I’m unsure if you’re talking about this skill or all the skills. When you say format do you want me to think of what it would say in the skill tree or something else?

Find a format like the rest of these crafts
 

Friendship bracelets: 2 bone shard, six beard hair, and one butterfly used in conjunction with the homemade to revive spiders you bind a spider to a friendship bracelet similar to a beefalo to a Beefalo Bell except you don’t give it a name the next time it dies it drops the friendship bracelet pain on how you wanna go with us at a lower durability, maybe have to be repairable with bone  and if you wanna automate a bit what if it works like  cursed trinkets except instead of being drawn to players it’s drawn to the nearest homemade den and if there’s an open slot, it takes it

 

 

 

:

 

homemade den: if you place a cookie in the homemade den it will turn 2 spiders into that type, every time the den has a spider added it lose 1% durability, you can find out how much durability there is by inspecting, and you can repair it using silk but maybe by 2-5%. it has 12 spiders with the inventory of a scaled chest but for spiders only, it’ll take 90 seconds for each spider to respawn it (and how it will respawn a spider after the 90 seconds is the lightning conductor purple gem combination will cause lightning to strike around it the respawned to spider crawl out of the ground like rabbit king as a reference to how you unlock Webber in solo Don’t Starve)

it will spawn that Webbing Wickerbottom spawns with Overcoming Arachnophobia around it, you could also call the spiders out of the den by interacting with it

And it can be broken using a hammer

(craft the homemade den with a purple gem, a lightning conductor, and 2 sticks )

Do you think I should reposition the heart on the flag here?

Ya

Then after we add that to the skill tree 

All that’s left to do if I’m remembering right is finally finalize the alignments as well as coming up with two more spiders for the garden spiders skill and coming up with the last skill I’m thinking potentially making it so he can catch butterflies with his hands like Wurt can do with mosquitoes Let me know if you have any notes or if you think I should do something different instead

Also I might add more skill tree icons. It may be art for all the things being added they don’t already have art, but I’m not very good at that end. I don’t think what we present necessarily needs skill tree icons.

It’s a large backpack like item with 4 or 6 general slots, and a hidden 20 slot storage for spiders that can be opened like a polar bin. It also has the down side of slowing you down 10% Along side the general backpack slots there are 2 specialized slots with one containing healing glop for incredibly faster healing regeneration and the other slot is for storing spider food so they Don’t Starve. You can also use your webby whistle to call them out for battle or to call them back in in emergencies or to quickly heal or to just travel with them. It would cost 12 silk, 4 paper, and possibly something else but idk.

I think that’s it, not sure if you want the spider chow idea or to just use monster meat or any meat for the food slot.

I’ll try to help with the affinity but after we finish that I think I’m gonna be done with this topic.

you could make a map of how the skill tree would be ordered.

I think we should increase the number of silk or paper because a normal den cost 12silk and 6 paper and that’s only tier one(3 when triggered 2when it 1to become queen =6spiders)and we have 20+the items 

when you say topic do you mean the tread or the affinity topic 

When you say map do you mean this

 this design:

Also what do think of the butterfly catching idea

Whatever design you go with. My idea is still the dst silk design with 3 main branches for the skills 60 degrees apart from each other.

Why would you need to catch butterflies as specifically Webber? Do you have an idea for the butterflies? If you find a good use for it then sure. Like how Walter’s drying rack and Woby treat skills work well together.

Friendship bracelets: 2 bone shard, six beard hair, and one butterfly

Also know that we have this:

• Switcherdoodle stretching: efficiently use ingredients to make 3 times that amount of switcherdoodles when crafted

If I should get rid of this part of their description of the homemade den: if you place a cookie in the homemade den it will turn 2 spiders into that type,

You could just use a single net instead as you’re not gonna be constantly making more of them.

you could have the switcherdoodle skill affect the homemade den instead. If you were to do that you could change the description to that instead.

I feel like with the ability to bring back spiders. You’re going to consistently make more spiders resurrectable

Transforms and invites extra spiders to the den.

So it just transforms spiders if you put the switcher doodles into the den wouldn’t that still apply when without the switcher doodle spread skill 

also, do you think I should make it so the structures that are crafted from the skill tree be only able to be placed on sticky webbing

It would track the switcherdoodles that you placed/used and wouldn’t work if you don’t have the skill.

What are the structures that would be affected?

Silk spindle:@blacknight7890 came up with an idea I re named it and changed its look but other then that it’s all there’s Learn to craft a 'Silk spindle', [like a giant spindle with spider hair and  a finial on it (with white string when silk is on it)] a structure that can be placed near decorated spider dens. Spiders will spin webs onto it over time, can be harvested for silk." [passive silk farming]

Probably not as the homemade den will have their own webbing and the silk spindle sounds like a normal spindle except with a spider hair on top.

The den would remember who place which switcherdoodles and would cancel the multi transform effect if the person who placed it changes skills. Or  maybe the effect wouldn’t change upon changing skills and would depend on the skill you had when placing it. Or it could depend on what skills any nearby webbers have. This last 2 were just other ideas for how it could work.

I was actually going to remove the making their own webbing from the homemade den if you had answered yes

That’s not the part I don’t understand Would the transformations work the same as before and how does being able to make three times the yield play into placing one in the den and put putting a sweater doodle in the den take up one of the 12 slots

[Dr.Webber]

Hey @Creatingabe1125 so the skill I’m pulling the butterfly catching from also mentions other bugs do you think I should keep that part intact 

Bug handler: Gain the ability to pick up butterflies, (non-killer) bees, and fireflies by hand.

[JJ0264]

It's been a while since the last skill tree, when do you think the next one is coming and who? (I bet early Oct - Webber, Warly, Wicker)

Webber tips:

1. drop then pick up a rabbit, now you can trigger web flooring

2. if there's a friendly warrior spider (inventory) you can fake attack rabbit, then drop warrior spider and he'll jump attack for you (make sure he's defensive mode)

3. the best beefalo for Webber would be Warrior, because Speedy is too fast for spiders and Pudgy (I guess not that bad but Warrior can fight nightmares and you can use top hats)

I feel like a bee would sting you as you catched it. And isn’t the skill just for butterflies?

True but I figured since it’s being pulled from someone else’s Webber skill tree and they had made it all three bugs what’s wrong with a little extra utility so what do you think?
