What would you like to see out of a tundra/snow covered biome?


Recommended Posts

Been working on some ideas for new biomes.
Done a Wasteland like mobs in the past and just currently gave them a better look:

But now I've been thinking about a Tundra like snow covered through all seasons biome, maybe a far away island just to not interfere with the core seasonal shifts of the mainland.

What do you think could be added? Or if you'd like one or not.

To name a few ones I always have circulating in my brain:

  • Horned Owl (with actual horns). Could use Thunder Bird (H) base I guess.
  • Blizard—snow lizard. Could use Dragoon (SW) base.
  • Polar Pear. Straight forward fruit pun. Probably extra fuzzy.

This looks sooo awesome! well done! 

i loooove the goat and the hare! 

Just yesterday actually i was gathering ice from the returning glaciers in my rocky biome and i was thinking how this biome would be perfect for a tundra/mountain top  type of expansion! 

Currently its just boulders and glaciers. And nothing else.

These tundra creatures would look so perfect there! 

Maybe a creature like this thats hard to fight could drop steel wool to make that resource a lil more accessible. Or ewecus could just live there too maybe somehow.

It would be cool if there was a Mactusk village full of Mactusks. Or at least some sort of variant. Perhaps there could even be Deerclops's den depending on where the tundra would be.

It would be great to see more peaceful views of Mactusk

It should also be surrounded by ice that you can either walk on (but it cracks the more you walk on it) and a boat upgrade that breaks the ice (that you only get once you've gone to the island)
And the Orka could be lurking under the ice and burst out of it to attack the player!

wooow this is amazing :wilson_love:

The only thing I would want a frozen tundra biome to rely on needing is extremely cold protective gear, unlike current DST where you can survive Winter with just a heated Thermal Stone, I want to give an actual use to things like Puffy Coat, Bearger Vest, Beefalo Hats etc…

This Biome would have its own unique gameplay mechanics too frozen over lakes of ice & glaciers with mobs frozen inside.

Like sliding on the ice when you drop off the battle bus into the snow area in Fortnite, I think that would translate well into DST.. I also think such a biome should have a Sandstorm equivalent of a Harsh Blizzard, and maybe even strong winds (like Hamlet blew stuff off the edge of the map)

Not too long ago I beat a game called BugSnax and one of the cool features I really liked about that game was how certain BugSnax, or key quest items were trapped inside frozen ice blocks that you needed to hit with a fire source to melt the ice and free whatever’s inside.

I just picture maybe for example one of the above Elephant drawings, completely concealed inside an Iceblock that once thawed out.. you can fight, or tame or whatever..

Wonderful ideas all! I'll be trying to turn some of it into art so thank you, it surely helps.
Little peek at the Polar Pear

Those who follow already know everything hehe)

Amazing art!

I'd effin kill for some actual content that isn't locked behind a boss rush or a boss, like updated biomes (stop with the dupes and variants of biomes, those suck, I hate how we need 2 deserts just because, or the possibility of 2 rocky biomes, or 2 deciduous biomes etc.)

As long as rifts end up being good in the end (I have doubts due to the state of caves, the ocean, and worldgen) Ill be satiated for a while.

Anyways, what I'd love from a tundra biome is for it to essentially have a reverse season clock compared to the rest of the world, when it's cold everywhere else, it's warmer there etc.

snip-

With all those concepts could really go for having a whole new kind of DLC frozen and wasteland worlds god damn. Love all of it. What about some sort of mossy stones to be the grass alternative in thundra world? They could be made into rope and other useful craftables, but in slow regrowth and limited supply to make you move to explore to find more. A costume to look like some sort of vial beast characters could use to avoid conflict with. Decent insulator too. Fissures that would bleed "liquid charcoal" to which when crystalized it would be mineable or better having a thumper of sorts to mine for more for fire fuel. Some kind of shadow creature that would stalk you and want to make you cold and sleepy if you won't be fighting to keep it at bay and away from fires.

Insane concepts.

Orca and hound are my favs.

Desert hound got the rizz
