New Winona Craft: Power PDA, a potential compromise to the Winona catapult debate


Recommended Posts

What if other characters could arm the catapults, but only Winona could fuel the generators (we'd need to look at the lunar crown shard in the GEMerator again to prevent that from bypassing this). Maybe remove a stat boost skill and add the ability to craft a Power PDA that can be used to monitor the power remaining in the generators across the explored area (I imagine interacting with it would just open up the map with the generators highlighted, allowing you to mouse over them to see what percentage of power is remaining in real time). With the new generator efficiency perks, it will take awhile for the generators to go down, but it does still require maintenance by a Winona from time to time. The Winona wouldn't be bound to her buildings so much but it still required to check up on them to ensure that they are functional.

I've been thinking about the catapult issue for a bit now, since I really dislike the idea of swap characters however I know Winona got a lot of incentive to stay as her. In my mind, I ultimately dislike the idea of getting a characters upsides while no one is actually playing as them. I also don't necessarily agree that Winona has to be in that spot in order for her buildings to do their thing. There is definitely merit in placing defenses in base and not having to worry about returning to babysit your team everytime there is a threat.

Why? I can't understand what your W'ilson, Willow, Wolfgang, Wendy can do for their teammates on the base when you're away from it? Why does Winona need to take on so much extra responsibility, even if she's not nearby at all?

I don't like the idea of characters being "swap characters" where you don't actually have to play as them in order to get the major part of their upsides. I seem to be in the minority in that regard, so I suggested this so that way it would at least require a Winona to be around from time to time to upkeep the maintenance on them.

This suggestion is dead in the water since the catapults are back to before

As someone who actually secondary mains winona (most played character next to Wendy) the thing that frustrates me about other characters using MY STUFF is that a good majority of the time: They’ll use up the resources/ energy power and then leave ME to go refuel it if I want to use it for my own purposes.

The new update is still in BETA and as an Xbox player, I don’t have access to it yet.. but I am thinking that (hopefully) being able to disassemble and relocate Winona’s structures is going to solve this particular issue.

If for example: Klei Decided Winona’s Catapults could be ran off of Pure Horror, then I obviously don’t want Noob Wilson to be screwing around with them running them out of power, If he’s gonna use them- He’s putting the Fuel in to operate them and that’s the way I’ve ALWAYS felt like it should be for Winona.

Just like if people want Helmets from Wigfrid, it’s expected that they bring their own gold so she can craft them.

Please don't. When I'm not playing as Winona, I'm playing as WX78 and I use generators a lot to charge and change my circuits.

Completely off topic, but since this suggestion is dead anyway, does the infinite fuel GEMerator work on WX? That's seems like it would be really good
