discussion A very controversial idea for making the game more accessible

Wanda is God Mode..?

I think you don't know what God mode means.

[Frosty_Mentos]

you can already do a game+ where early items for building certain things like science and basic resources are already there, no? It's not a quicker mode on killing bosses and other things but I dunno if this fits the game at all. But just maybe.

[Mike23Ua]

The game needs an actual “creative mode” where the player can spawn in whatever they want, where they want, whenever they want.. like Minecrafts Creative Mode or Lego Fortnites “Sandbox Mode”

THAT is DSTs problem- Klei tries to make it a survival sandbox game, but it can’t be both…

Now then to dive into the juicy stuff! Perhaps what frustrates me the MOST about DST is that people playing on PC, without needing to use Mods… and through the Power of Admin Commands- Can spawn in what they want, when they want.

A creative mode is literally right there in the game and it’s slapping the devs in the face like a RockJaw smacking its tail fin at them.

Imagine if we could place our own mobs, resources, boxes full of whatever we want to put in them (including loot, Curses or spiders)

DST has a few “cursed” chests, like the one you open to get the terrarium that catches fire, or the one that opens and a dust cloud rots your foods faster.

Klei has the foundation to actually Make the best Survival/Sandbox/RogueLite game to ever exist… and more importantly then that, IF the game had this official “Creative Mode”

Players could do things like spawn in the boss, weapons, armors etc they want to attempt to fight it with.

Last but probably this is just me thinking so far into the future of this franchise that NO ONE has even considered it yet-

When/IF (and that’s a huge IF) DST ever becomes fully Cross-platform compatible.

Then PC players will have this sloppy Admin command version of a creative mode, and consoles won’t.

Klei needs to just bite the bullet on this one and put in the actual additional development time and resource costs it would take to bring such a feature to all platforms as an actual game mode..

And if we got that….

We’d see stuff like “Meet Your Maker, Little Big Planet, Mario Maker, Battleblock Theater, Prodeues, Fortnite, Minecraft And Farcry 5’s Arcade Mode”

(aka maps and experiences created by the community that can be uploaded to Klei’s servers to be downloaded and enjoyed by other players same as the above mentioned games with exception to Minecraft.. which charges players for them as DLC)

Id prefer this more than any updates Klei has planned for the game, more than the current story arch, more than skill trees, more than SW/Ham dlc compatibility or the return of gorge and forge.

This would be the thing that breathes infinite replay value into a game that in all honesty? Desperately needs it & is already sort of I’d say at least 60% of the way there to having it?

(sadly PC only though..)

KLEI PLEASE THIS THERE IS NO WAY THIS WOULDN'T BENEFIT THE COMMUNITY (also PC/Console compability by at LEAST making custom creative modes work on BOTH would bring PC/console players much closer together once again strengthen the community more)

as someone that have never actually defeated fuelweaver or celestial guardian on my own, i would definitely like for the rifts to not require them to be open and instead require something else to be done, feels a little strange to have "strongest armor in the game" after you already defeated the supposedly game bosses, would be fun if the cracked pearl was required to open the moon rift in some form?

tusk feel like something so important not just for wanda, that having them spawn faster would certainly be welcomed, that or a tusk village being a given instead of triple mc tusk biome being rare

if you set walrus' to "more" or "lots" that set piece shows up more often as well as there being more single camps all over the world. it isnt the same as a villiage but it is an option

I had a brain blast today when I realized walking canes are part of the sunken treasure loot tables, effectively making tusks (via deconstruction) obtainable year round. Sure it's not a suitable replacement for triple mactusk but what little I was leaning towards thinking maybe just one mactusk camp wasn't good enough was wiped away in an instant. Not that I wish to imply people should be satisfied with a single Mactusk, but more that I found yet another reason to appreciate the ocean update. I also recently found a satisfactory use for Brightshade bombs, I think they'll be my dedicated anti-pirate tool for characters who don't have a unique option that can handle them (Codex Umbra, Abigail, etc.)
