Zhollow Posted January 10 Share Posted January 10 Well, many have probably already asked for this, and many will probably ask for it. But I think a forest biome similar to Hamlet's would be a good idea to implement. I mean... I like the vibe that forests with tall trees give off. The rays of light passing between leaves, etc. Maybe new mobs, similar or new features like caves (except we're in a forest). And that's it. I hope no one tries to problematize what I said, and if anyone has an answer as to why we still don't have this type of biome, please comment below. thanks. *Below is a image from Hamlet but it's just to illustrate* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BalkanCockroach Posted January 10 Share Posted January 10 Because hamlet is tropical, mainland (DST, DS, RoG) is not. I would like this too though. Peoples main arguement to porting or copying stuff is "That would incentivize people to not buy the DLCs" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grm9 Posted January 10 Share Posted January 10 the last time klei added a new biome to the surface in DST was probably back when they were porting RoG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe it's lore reasons, how can you introduce a whole new biome in the mainland without it butchering the narrative? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aside from Lunar, not really? the Moon Quay island is so small and insignificant that it isn't really a biome. Same goes with Pearl's island.

ADM Posted January 10 Share Posted January 10 I would rather have reworked forests and plenty subtle variations introduced before cluttering more biomes into the mainland personally. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Derek Atom Posted January 11 Share Posted January 11 I know it's not the same but you could somewhat recreate those Hamlet forests by using the big trees from Waterlogged, plop out some red mushroom floor from the caves, then cover it with palmcone trees, monkeytails, and the leafy version of berry bushes. You could even include some ruins with the CotL brick flooring and some vanilla walls for pillars. For further Hamlet re-creation the meteor field with some mud flooring makes do. You just gotta tell yourself the tall birds are thunder birds. Then the pig village needs to be bigger and have streets... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kwaik Posted January 11 Share Posted January 11 New Biomes is something that's high on many propels wish lists, and yes there's a few from the DLCs that could be ported over to this. Heck something like the OPs forest could be combined with the waterlogged biome very easily and work out fine/thematically (hell another major complaint from people is the lack of things in the ocean to find explore so having a place to go/explore would be cool) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peoples main arguement to porting or copying stuff is "That would incentivize people to not buy the DLCs" If that’s their main argument might I introduce you to free mods? Serious talk here: I paid for both Shipwrecked & Hamlet, & it’s a little heartbreaking that they aren’t useable in Multiplayer. Now before you say “DST isn’t DS” well…. Technically that isn’t true- DST is actually advertised and sold as an Multiplayer Expansion to DS. Its not a Sequel, it’s not it’s own game- It’s advertised & sold as a standalone “Expansion” meaning- That you don’t need to Own DS to play it. However- For players who DO Own the DLCs (not including DST) they can enable DLC Contents & Compatibility with the Single player game. (SW/Ham/RoG) If you look on the Xbox Store for add ins for DST it even shows Shipwrecked & Hamlet.. even though these are NOT Currently compatible with DST. I predict that Klei has plans to eventually make them compatible, but it will obviously take some time to re-design single player expansions, for multiplayer.

Yuuko Posted January 11 Share Posted January 11 I think there is room for expansion by reworking redundancies. They already did this with giving us 2 distinct deserts, one with an oasis the other with dfly and tumble weeds. I don't think they need the total ground up rework, but at least more purpose to exist. We have the forest with the moonstone which is great, but what about the other? It has mandrakes and beefs, but I think it could do better. idk about the overhanging trees though. I don't like how much of the screen the canopy covers. I wish there were an option to remove it in game settings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ThymeSpirit Posted January 11 Share Posted January 11 I don't know about tropical forests, they would look strange in winter. However, I think the mandrake forest could be reworked into some sort of whimsical fantasy biome, and the mandrakes themselves could be more difficult to obtain, requiring a fight with a mini-boss or solving some puzzles, considering how they're quite valuable and limited early game.

Maybe elder mandrake village? Getting jumped by some elder mandrakes would be fun. Maybe a big elder mandrake boss? They would need to nerf their droos though.
