-Variant Posted March 3 Share Posted March 3 The latest Rhymes with Play stream was honestly quite big, they showed off quite a lot of awesome changes and features despite claims it would be smaller in size. I'm actually stoked for the update, a lot of wonderful QOL features were mentioned, with one in particular catching my eye... And that'd be rot washing away in the rain! This is HUGE to me. This is something I've wanted for years now, I'm a little shocked to see it finally happening. But, I had a proposal. I strongly believe this could be part of a "World Clean Up" tab in the generation menu, or put into Global. From here, a list of common "trash" items that pile up could be listed, giving everyone the ability to toggle what they do and don't want to pile up in their worlds. This sounds like a universal win, to me, as I can see arguments both for and against specific items washing away. Let us toggle them! My personal votes for some more items to wash away would be manure and guano, both of those items alongside rot pile up so much in my late game worlds I, even as a (secondary) Wormwood main, struggle to tackle them all! Thoughts? And other pile-up items you'd wish to see have natural despawns? 26 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hound teeth, stingers, spider glands, pine cones (this could be planted) , feathers and rotten eggs (pengulls are annoying in such ways...) 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
viblym Posted March 3 Share Posted March 3 Stick cleanup on twiggy tree worlds would be revolutionary, I like playing in endless servers that get into several thousand days. Stick buildup is intense. Over 8,000 stick at once is just nuts! Winter's Feast + Hallowed Nights baubles, trinkets, and treats cleanup would absolutely be welcome too, I know that's very highly requested. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't believe I forgot about the baubles, that's been something on my wish list for a while now, too. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mkemal23 Posted March 3 Share Posted March 3 8 minutes ago, -Variant said: Thoughts? And other pile-up items you'd wish to see have natural despawns? Yes please. Default could be just rots disappearing. Switching to Less could stop items form disappearing. Switching to More could add more items to list such as what Arubaro said. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Habakkuk Posted March 3 Share Posted March 3 Why not disappear everything that is in the ground on and off? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ninten_Draw Posted March 3 Share Posted March 3 actually super helpful for me cuz i just leave **** laying around and it becomes rot sometime soon Thought i do wonder how this will work with like, base items being left about on the ground due to lack of storage or smthn 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grm9 Posted March 3 Share Posted March 3 8 minutes ago, Habakkuk said: Why not disappear everything that is in the ground on and off? because that'll force people to build chests and waste time opening chests while searching for something or making mini signs for all of them and still having to search through them because someone put something in a wrong chest or it's unclear which category the item on a mini sign indicates or in which category is an item Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because there are stuff that wont be picked ever like rotten eggs, rot and manure while you might take some time to pick up every log and rocks farmed by the bearger and rifts, decorated with stuff like trinkets or expensive items, etc 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would love a waste bin type container to get rid of other items you may not want, but that's a suggestion for another day. This system ideally won't effect common resources you may not have storage for yet, and if something is listed you don't want, you'd be able to toggle it, too!

Maxil20 Posted March 3 Share Posted March 3 I would like this! It could be nice for me, since my current endgame world has winters feast enabled permanently (I like collecting the boss adornments for funzies) and the amount of various winters feast candy you get piles up a lot. I would love if there was an option for things like that to wash away/vanish. Things like guano from sinkholes or potential cleanup of twigs from twiggy trees could be very nice, as well! 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DegenerateFurry Posted March 3 Share Posted March 3 I personally would like this a lot as well, and I'd like to see the Year of the _ pouches on it. Playing with all events enabled like I do (or really, just Year of the Catcoon) means you get tons of lucky pouches anywhere catcoons exist. I definitely want the rot washing away to be toggleable, though, since it's nice for Wormwood players to get free rot over time. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HeatAndRun Posted March 3 Share Posted March 3 Simillar to Wild Rifts, they could make the mechanism work only for trash items not close enough to artificial structures. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike23Ua Posted March 3 Share Posted March 3 I’m confused about one thing, the devs said that this years roadmap would have updates less frequently, but to avoid players losing interest they would showcase some of the upcoming stuff in dev streams or whatever… So my question is- (& this should’ve been an obvious question all of you asked during their stream lmao..) the stuff they showed off during their Showcase, is that all coming in the NEXT Beta, or the more likely scenario.. they’re showcasing stuff that’s even further down the line? Because ima be honest with y’all here, I think your overhyping yourselves expecting all this stuff to come in one update, when the reality is that there’s 4 of these QoL updates planned this years roadmap, and Klei could be showing stuff we aren’t going to see for several more months. I will roll on the floor laughing when the usual case of “players expected too much out of update we said would be small” happens again. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However they mentioned that they have "plans" for ocean structural changes, but that was implied to come out later AFTER this update. On the next beta. They also said that next streams will come earlier than what they did with the current stream. I think maybe 2 weeks earlier than the beta.

Cr4zyFl4mes Posted March 4 Share Posted March 4 I would want a contractor NPC that would clean up certain items (you'd choose which ones in-game). A little bit of wishful thinking if you don't mind. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Filip_G Posted March 4 Share Posted March 4 Washing away is a nice idea, but I´m still wating for the biggest garbage dump...the ocean. Like it works in SW. Everything would eventually sink. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike23Ua Posted March 4 Share Posted March 4 On 3/3/2024 at 8:18 AM, Habakkuk said: Why not disappear everything that is in the ground on and off? Because that’s too simple, some people might want rot or twigs to disappear on their own over time if left on the ground, but some people might want Beefalo poop (mainly just wormwood or farmers lol) and seeds not to despawn. Personally I prefer the feathers and rotten eggs left behind by Pengull and birds NOT to Despawn because I enjoy going back through areas and finding stuff like free Gunpowder resources laying around. Having a toggle for every individual item though just sounds like way way too much work. Klei should probably just give us a Roomba or let us upgrade the Ice Flingo Matic to pick up things left on the ground in its “workers” AoE radius, kinda like some weird Doctor Seues contraption with extending arms or whatever. Also how does the game know what to pick up and what to leave on the ground?? I (and I’m sure a ton of Megabase designers) would be PISSED if the game randomly deleted the stuff I left laying on the ground- Such as Festive Baubles to look like they had fallen off the nearby Christmas tree. or my cute Beefalo Doll Collection: Although it would be interesting if things dropped on the ground DID disappear if left there too long then DST would have a mode similar to Minecrafts- where when you “die” it deletes the items you had on you from the game world- and that would be quite interesting way of playing the game (as long as it was an optional game mode setting) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I assume that was Klei’s design intention for Wildfires, to burn away & then dissolve with ashes things left on the ground. The problem is that lots of players toggle off the wildfires completely.. so now- Rot washes away in rain LoL’z Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
