suggestion Wurt concept - Trader merms

[marshyds]

=- OCEAN TRADERS -=

Ever wanted to practice capitalism in the hit game Don't Starve Together? GREAT! now you can!

=- Finding -=

There must be 2 conditions met.

- Merm king carpet built

- At least 3 merm houses built

If these conditions are met, oceanic trades-merms will begin spawning on boats in the ocean.

If one or more requirements aren't fulfilled, then traders will no longer spawn.

These traders have a 33% chance to visit your boat every day if you're sailing in the ocean. (they just spawn near your boat, paddling to you like a pirate monkey would.)

Merm rafts eventually respawn off screen to reduce lag, but can still be destroyed.

=- Trades -=

These ocean merms are fond of fish, and will give you goods in exchange for them! (Menu, like pearl)

Wobster -> Random fish lure

Lunar wobster -> Anenemy 

Runty guppy -> Boards x 3

Needlenosed squirt -> ?

2x Bitty baitfish -> Fish food

3x Smolt fry -> Purple gem.

Popper fish -> Bath actual bomb x 2 (deals 200 damage when thrown into the water like a water balloon)

 4x Fallounder -> Panflute.

 2x Bloomfin tuna -> Plantable cactus.

Scorching sunfish -> Red gem.

Spittlefish -> Boat patch x 3

Mudfish -> Merms aggro, in reaction to your insult.

2x Deep bass -> Bullkelp stalk.

Dandy lionfish -> Bee mine 

Black catfish -> Malbatross feather x 2 (post Malbatross)

Black catfish -> ?

2x Corn cod ->  Vegan takeout (Gives 33 hunger, 33 sanity and 8 health)

Dappled koi -> Random pool of items with % depending on rarity.

Golden koi -> Random pool of items with % depending on rarity.

Ice bream -> Blue gem.

Sweetish fish -> Dragon fruit x 2

A lot of these weren't thought out much, so your ideas would be appreciated!

=- My thoughts -=

This is mainly to give Wurt a side hussle when she is catching fish to get gold from the merm king, as it's rather boring.

Alternatively, The frostjaw could give these things. It would however be annoying to sail to him, as fish are scattered in the oceans.

Another option is the merm king, by adding a seperate trading tab for ocean fish. But i think gold is fine.

Thanks for reading!
