Final petition for Wurt's skill tree; Leaky Shack.

[chirsg]

There should be a place where Wurt can upgrade craftsmerm houses into these. They're non renewable and once destroyed, that's it.

Often times, shacks are in places where they need to be broken down or are in places where they're prone to destruction. Either way, when one is lost, there's a little less in the world that cannot be taken back.

 

Even if for the sake of skins, if you can't upgrade craftsmerm houses, just a straight out craft of leaky shacks would go a long way.

Really like this idea. Deerclops broke one in my world and now it will never come back

I disagree. I do like the idea of somehow being able to obtain nonrenewable structures, especialliy for decorative purposes, but the Leaky Shack isn't something that makes thematic sense for Wurt to be able to craft. The entire point of the craftsmerm hut is that unlike the Leaky Shack which is an imitation of pig houses that broke down due to the swamp's terrain, Wurt has learned how to create houses that suit the swamp's wet conditions - hence why they are on stilts.

In terms of gameplay leaky shacks also just kind of run into the issue that the merms inside them are nocturnal, which isn't an issue craftsmerm houses deal with.

I think if we were to be able to create more of these it'd have to be with some form of compromise. Their nocturnal limitation is a downside Wurt stops having to deal with once she makes her own houses, which I imagine is very much intentional, it'd be weird to re-introduce that limitation to the "upgraded" version.

Leaky shacks contain 4 merms. They are basically slums with very poor living conditions. Wont make sense that she will make them.

 

Make them always wet or something so they wont burn. BUT Make homeless merm in swamp make a new one.

I think we could have improved the old houses, the functionality would have remained the same, but for example the merms from this house could have been Tame 2 times longer in honor of gratitude.

Also, in order to solve the problem of the complete disappearance of Leaky Shack from the world, I suggest adding the opportunity to leave the ruins of the house behind. Which can be repaired in the Leaky Shack or blown up with gunpowder completely (if they interfere with you) .

I don't think it can be done in this update, but for the future, why not

Another idea would be to make a new structure that works the same but is a good version of it but give it leaky shack skin you could use or just give a leaky shack skin to existing merm houses.
