The lack of new miner hat skins is part of a bigger problem!


Recommended Posts

Seven lantern skins against three miner hat/straw hat skins. It's acknowledged that miner hats are not used as much as lanterns, even by Klei. There are a couple of obvius reasons for that:

-People love backpacks and football helmets
-Lanterns can iluminate even when no equiped, so players can continue using their backpack and helmet while fighting

What do I do propose? Inmunity to earthquake debris (It's a MINER hat) and some defense so I don't get one-shoted while walking in the darkness, and give a little buff to fighting in the darkness with body armor, making it last longer.

This suggestion gets to you thanks to that one depth worm that killed me while I was watching at the map.

(Also, why lightbulbs recharge it by 19%? Can't it be 20%, it's so frustrating to see 96% of fuel. I don't want to waste another one for 4%!!!)

Why aren't there more skins???

proceeds to suggest mechanical adjustments instead of new skins

That said - Great suggestion to add debris protection to hard hat.  I like that idea.  Not super attached to it, but I think it is a reasonable idea.

Lightbulbs are stupid cheap, even if they did 3% each it wouldn't take long to fuel.  The percentage is based on max fuel capacity of the item and the fuel amount added, its not like they picked 19% to mess with you lol

I actually would like a umbrella skin that is not just flowers xD dreadstone helm and eye of mask are soo ugly as well

omg I think the eye mask soooooo freakin beautiful. Btw I would love for the tails behind her to be animated 

Miner hat is already better than lantern since it lets you use cane, weapons, tools, etc while still emitting light. People don't make it because they don't want to catch a firefly, and they don't want to go even one second without having a backpack and football helmet on. It doesn't need changes just because noobs don't use it, or else just about everything including dark swords would need changes.

People using a Backpack for carrying things and Football Helmets for not immediately dying when going anywhere with enemies in a game with limited inventory slots are noobs, got it.

Because people actually want to carry the loot they get in the Ruins back to base without either underpreparing and dying or having to go several times because you have 8 less inventory slots than you would have with a Backpack.

I don't use it much nowadays, cause lantern serves me well enough, since I tame a beefalo in most cases, and so my hand slot item is free most of the time, but I do find miner hat pretty handy otherwise, since being able to use a cane, while still seeing things and being able to use tools without having to drop lantern every time is pretty useful. Wouldn't say no to debris protection though!

This was the first time I saw someone say that a lantern is better than a minerhat, overall. But I liked the suggestions to upgrade the minerhat so that it provides protection in earthquakes and more skins for the minerhat.

I wasn't aware of the entire game just being the ruins and nothing else. My bad. Yeah I guess the miner hat is a bit of a multiplayer item. Great if you're Togethering, not so great if you're doing ruins by yourself. Not exactly sure why we're clearing the ruins out and bringing items back to a non-existent base since the only game is the ruins, but I guess that's just how games are. You do the gameplay loop without really questioning it.

Quick question: Why'd you "Like" that post saying lightbugs are better, since the whole game is the ruins? They get owned by rooks in the ruins and aren't very reliable. They also tend to get caught on the geometry of the labyrinth.

Nice, misinterpreting one of my points as me arguing it's the Miner Hat's sole use, as well as attacking a straw man after I said that you'd be dying anywhere with only a Miner Hat and a Backpack, not exclusively the Ruins.

Something being better doesn't mean that the weaker stuff that is arguably harder to obtain (one Bug Net for Light Bugs compared to a Bug Net for a poorly-renewable resource, a Straw Hat and a Gold Nugget) shouldn't get an upside. And there we go again with the damn "everything is the Ruins" straw man.

Your entire comment is sarcastically talking about how noobs are using this stuff in the ruins. If you don't want to talk about the ruins, maybe you should have said literally anything except the ruins.

My comment was about explaining why it's inconvenient for people to use Miner Hat, and saying that it could use changes. Your comment was about mocking people for not using Miner Hat because they'd rather use a mobile light source you can place down on the ground anywhere, and afterwards mocking me for stating an example for an area in perpetual darkness that the Miner Hat would best be used in, but in its current state isn't.

Mmm... Yes, it should have been about the skins. Dumb me.

I got inspired after this, and with my amateur knowledge of pixel art from when I wanted to make TBoI mods, I made these three skins I imagined so the thread is more about skins.

I don't get that, catching a firefly is so damn easy even early game and my god an early game Miner Hat is absolutely amazing and so much better than lighting trees up every night (the charcoal is nice early game for Racks and Crockpots but charcoal is easy to get if you really want/need it so whatever) or using torches.
