Creatorofswamps Posted November 16, 2023 Share Posted November 16, 2023 In the real world, there was such an animal as Steller's sea cow, but it was exterminated. But I thought she really fits well into the world of constants! They swam in shallow water near the shore in small flocks(Sometimes in deeper water). Sometimes they would eat brown algae. They will slowly float away if you attack them. But if you attack a cub, they will attack you with the whole herd. Since they have a thick hide, the damage inflicted on them will be reduced. You have 2 ways: you can kill them and get a lot of meat, or you can periodically collect special symbiotic algae from their backs and cook a hearty dish from them.They would breed like a beefalo but in the fall. They could revive the shores and the ocean is Constant, and we would be able to see these wonderful creatures, at least in Constant Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Theukon-dos Posted November 16, 2023 Share Posted November 16, 2023 While I do greatly enjoy and appreciate the design and concept, I don't think it would actually help the ocean's problems. While something else to find out there would be kinda nice I suppose, the ocean's main problem right now is that nothing out there really benefits you on the mainland to a notable degree. Almost everything you can get is either for sailing itself, or only a side-grade to what you can already get on the mainland. And this definitly falls into the latter IMO. Either that Algae is one of the single best food sources in the game, on par with post-RWYS farming and Tall Scotch eggs, or it's just going to be another member of the "Only OK ocean food sources that never get used" club, along side Figs, Barnacles, and fish meat.

It could use an itsy-bitsy buff, I don't mind going faster just a little bit. Or tell you what squishy glommer man, a harpoon to hunt for the water mobs ! Most of the mobs in the ocean are running away or a bit far from reach so I can see that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe not a speed buff but a damage buff could work really well. I don't know if anyone uses walking cane to fight but i use it a lot for non-horde low hp creatures. 25 damage would be fair, low enough to not use when actually fighting but enough for convenience.

There has to be cons otherwise boats are useless (except being able to place structures). But now that i think about it how would you even dismount it on water.

Funny how now we need cons for everything no matter how much better it'd make the experience of sailing yet almost no one talks about the rampant and eternally present now character power creep.
