WX-78 skilltree ideas

[deadtaco0]

As title says

 

Physical improvement:

Improved water insulation 1, 2, 3. Short-circuiting starts happening at 25, 35, 45 wetness.

Improved powercable insulation. Charge receiving from generators and lightning doesn't drain sanity.

Improved energy recirculation 1, 2. Circuit disconnection loss of used charge is reduced by 50% / doesn't cause charge loss.

Energy repurposing. At zero hunger, lose of charge gives 10 emergency energy (it appears as counter next to hunger in cyan color). Charges don't start to recover until emergency energy is delpeted and hunger bar is filled with anything (any food). Charge recovery after use of skill is slowed down 2 times until fully charged(system stabilizes).

Increased energy storage 1, 2, 3. Amount of charges is increased by 1, 2, 3.

Mastery skill. Needs Increased energy storage 1 and 6 skill points spent in Physical improvement:

Expanded modification adoption. Added 1 input slot for circuits.

 

Circuit improvement:

Thermoregulation circuit overclocking. Thermal and Refrigerant Circuit give immunity to being frozen / set on fire.

Optimization circuit overclocking 1, 2, 3. Health, sanity and hunger increasing circuits are 5/10/15% more effective.

Electrification circuit rewiring. When  Electrification circuit is equiped electrical damage restores charge.(2 if damage is over 100). Lightning succesfully restores charge.

Acceleration circuit rewiring. Attack speed is increased. (2% attack speed per every 5% movement speed provided by circuits resulting in 10/16/20% increase in attack speed).

Illumination Circuit overclocking. Light radius is increased 2 times.

Chorusbox Circuit overclocking. Effect radius increased, every player (including WX-78) and minion in effect radius performs tasks faster(choping, mining, crafting)(music is slightly faster).

 

 

Affinity:

Lunar powered. Power system is adapted to lunar energy. System can accept lunar energy for charge recovery. Moongleam restores 1 charge, Infused Moon Shard restores 2 charges and Pure Brilliance restore 4 charges. Moongleam shock attack deals no damage.

Shadow powered. Power system is adapted to shadow energy. System can accept shadow energy for charge recovery. Nightmare fuel restores 2 charges and Pure Horror restore 4 charges. 

 

 

 

Scraped ideas

Lunar powered 2. Allows release of energy to infuse matter with lunar energy. Unlocks craft of Moongleam(1 charge), Infused Moon Shard(moon glass+2 charges) and Pure Brilliance (Infused Moon Shard+3 charges).

Shadow powered 2. Allows release of energy to recharge equipment with shadow energy. Restores charges in equipment as if fueled by nightmare fuel, consumes 2 charges.(Bone armor, Codex Umbra, Alarming clock)

 

Background system optimization. 

Chemical Engine tuning. Charge restoration speed is increased. (Energy repurposing aftereffect overrides this skill).

The term "rewiring" got me thinking about what if WX could rewire their circuits to do other things. For instance say you could rewire the speed circuit to give attack speed instead of movement speed, that kinda thing

Mark my words, as OP as WX already is Klei will cave to peer pressure and give him extra equip slots for his circuit board thingy just like they caved to peer pressure to give Wolfgang speed back.

“Caved in to give Wolfgang his speed back” is such a funny sentence seeing as his current speed only works in his normal is very tiny and beefalo exist. You’re giving up the benefits of mightyness for a tiny speedboost when other much better options exist

It’s barely noticeable TBH, but.. that was one of the things discussed during Wolfgang’s Rework (alongside the coaching buff)

So- A WX78 skill tree will likely focus on what the most vocal forum topics where during his rework as well- Which was: People wanting extra circuit slots.
