Was the warm steel wool armor and the "deceleration trap" From Phlegm mentioned on the forum. Or is it The Mandela Effect?


Recommended Posts

I just remembered. A long time ago, when Ewecus, Phlegm and steel wool were just added, they asked on the forums if it would be used, and the developers replied that they wanted to add armor made of steel wool, which would be both armor and warm clothes, as well as a trap made of Phlegm that mobs would step on and slow down. Was that really the case? I have this Memory, but many people I asked don't remember it. Are these false memories or was it really true, does anyone else remember this?

Would be cool to have clothing with low %armor. One of the things that make clothing less confortable than using thermal stones is that you might need the head/body slot for armor or light which reduces the protection agaisnt the weather.

There are options to combat this like dropping lanters for light or creating fire with star caller or campfires but i think is nice to have more options

It can be 70% armor plus 120 insulation so you dont want to use it at all times

I think that even if there was a clothing item with 240 insulation and 90% armor, I would still pair a thulecite crown with a thermal stone and a krampus sack.

I don't remember the armor piece, but oddly the one about a trap made of phlegm rings a few bells. Where did I hear this ..?

It's already more interesting. I'll hope that veterans will look in here, they should definitely remember what and how

They should add it.

 

Steel wool is only used for 2 one time crafts, and phegm is just pig bait.

More steel would crafts would be appreciated, especially if we could use it as armor we could sew back together. Feels like a fun idea.

B u t the issue is ewecus and it's spawn rates or the low amounts of loot it provides. It's a pitiful amount of wood that it gives, just enough for a brush and saddle if using construction amulet.

Otherwise idk, I don't see much use for this item besides being another situational pick unless said it would be repairable. There's thulecite and dreadstone to compete with top spots either way.

Though phlegm traps or ability to snare bosses/enemies with is something I wished for FOREVER now. Maxwell has that ability, I feel like we need an item for it just for utility purposes. Either from ewecus we could gather that, maybe farming ewecus could be a thing but idk. Will take a while till something happens.

I managed to make a mod that increases ewecus spawn enough to change tons of recipts to use steelwool. But I suppose the people wouldn't be too happy if suddenly they got more ewecus / vargs [since they are apparently connected] even if it meant more steal wool uses :/ I fear. Unless they finally gave critters some practical use to e.g. have them RARELY(!) drop something similar to their adult counterparts. [sheepington could rarely drop steelwool]

To BE fair, we really need more utility tools to capture foes or reduce movements. Characters themselves have their perks to supplement them in one way or another either skill tree or their default, I would say we need more gunk bombs or whatever to dish out very movy enemies.

Make them spawn in the rocky biomes.

I don't recall either of those but I only joined the forums in 2020. The phlegm thing sounds exactly like tar trap though?image.png.a413a61e49d9f18221c17b3db94478dd.png

Lol I thought it was just fuel for the repair station:wilson_laugh:. Yes, that would be a great implementation for a Phlegm trap

You can use apply in the ground to create a flamable area with slow debuff
