I don't think merms should have healers but that is a cool interperation.

Maybe paramedics could instead buff merms in some way? Like if you assign a paramedic to a merm then it could either buff it's speed, attack or defense

Imagine a 250% speed merm

I think in such a case the hut would need a purple gem to be crafted

They need to live in a tent

Merm camps could be cool visually, i think the houses would need tentacle spots for extra difficulty too.

[Volskygge]

I really love your ideas, Merm civilization must thrive

[Jakepeng99]

Here was an idea for mine from a while ago.

Kinda unrealistic because normally Klei has a bunch of upgrade skills but i threw a bunch of stuff in that i thought all worked together and fed into each other to create a working merm civilisation. I feel like its strength is how i implemented new merms, and how you could unlock a direct skill for Wurt showing how she learns from these merms and gains there abilities. You unlock the merm house first, which then gives you the option to unlock a skill related to the merm for Wurt.

Weakness is probably the affinities and there being so much stuff in general.

i really like the idea of steve, having this one shady guy give you goods for fish sounds funny.

Why make something already strong so much stronger.

maximum hunger, sanity and health isint amazingly good. you still have to eat 40 hunger to get 40 hunger back, after all.

More hunger is good to have so that you can longer without eating. More sanity doesn't matter that much yeah. Health is good. However 20% more speed is just an unnecessary buff. What justifies it?

you eat for same amount of time assuming that you fill the stat back up before the end of the playthrough, just optionally at different times

the only max stat that matters much, wes can go for 4.35 mins at dusk/night or in caves without going insane after killing 1 terrorbeak but most characters don't even get sane after killing a terrorbeak

mostly irrelevant since we don't have chars with max hp that's low enough to not fit heals in fully unless you count only gaining 74.99 hp from salt surf 'n' turf at best as maxwell/wes or something else irrelevant

Doesn't going insane threshold increase if you have more sanity? I don't get what you mean. I meant having more sanity isn't better aren't we arguing the same thing?

You don't have to stop to heal as much. Also it makes you safer for accidental accidents.

Yeah but if you're out of food and have business you can ignore it for longer.

the fact that the buff is just kind of a nothing burger, give more reason to maintain the king beyond killing bosses with merms. maybe it could boost wurt's damage too.

not really, nothing oneshots you except bosses, planar and depths worms even if you're armorless as maxwell/wes iirc

And so it matters.

If you're rushing to do something early game i find it benefitial to have more time before i have to eat. In the case of wurt since you have to set up king it might be useless.

Stuff can happen back to back. I definetly get into a lot of unlucky stuff that i would survive with more hp.

I see your point.

Well if we're arguing from a late game perspective no stat will matter that much since you have really strong tools to negate them.
