Aki Art Posted October 6, 2024 Share Posted October 6, 2024 Beached is a mod i have been working on for over 2 years, and I'm super excited to share some progress! It isn't available yet but I hope to release an alpha in November. Let me know what you all think! What is the mod about? Brings a new asteroid to ONI, full of new content. New elements, critters, plants, diseases, mechanics, meteors, POI-s, geysers, almost everything has something added or tweaked. New elements - Harvest rubber from new trees, make rubber boots to protect from wet feet, craft flippers, or this material may also come handy for the new electricity mechanics - Pearl, the most lustrous precious material with a 150% Decor modifier, this extremely high decor material will be only available in limited amounts, use it where it matters. - Amber, which can sometimes contain special inclusions of old creatures. Analyze these to gain DNA samples. - In the Frozen beached, permafrost hides treasures, but it will also release a dangerous, dormant disease if disturbed! - Zeolite which can be grown from the new Crystal Clusters along with other crystal materials. New skills are available for this with the entirely new Precision duplicant skill tree. - And many more New critters - Slickshells are tiny snail-like creatures that greet you in the start biome. They re actually a relative of Slicksters, but stuffed themselves into cozy shells for protection, loosing their ability to float. Now they rely on excreting Mucus to slide around on, a material you can collect for it's various industrial uses. - Jellyfish will mindlessly float around in the seas, consuming Plankton "germs" from the waters. If an Ancient Medusae is nearby, it will periodically signal nearby jellyfish to produce electricity. - & more New Plants & Corals - Kelp grows in the seas. It provides a habitat for Plankton which grow much faster when in the water near Kelp. Kelp can also be harvested, it is a new edible resource with new food recipes. - Mussel Sprout, a horrible combination of slimy texture and a bitter green flavor, this single harvest resource will provide some useful calories for your colony's early days, much like Muckroot would. - & others New Diseases There is 4 new diseases coming to Beached. One of them is Capped. While otherwise a benign infection with no directly harmful effects, Duplicants afflicted with this disease cannot fit hats or helmets on their heads, and will hurt their self esteem for a Morale debuff. This latter however will change if all but one duplicant contracts it on an asteroid, where the majority becomes Trendy, and the last duplicant will feel "Left Out". Critter gene editing An entire new system to spice and customize your farms, make them super efficient or low maintenance. A critter can have multiple different traits, but each critter has a "DNA capacity", and each trait a cost associated. Over generations, you can max this out, so choose what traits to pick carefully! DNA Samples can be acquired by analyzing existing critters, analyzing Amber Inclusions, or finding them in Space Missions. The original purpose of this system was to justify having many new critters without blowing your PC-s up, by making much smaller farms possible. But many other useful or interesting traits were added. New Duplicant: Minnow She has gills which let her breath in water. Might be useful If you want to follow development I will sometimes post here, but i most frequently talk about this mod in my Discord. If you want to support development Then I have a Ko-Fi. The mod will be 100% free and available for everyone who owns at least the base game of ONI. Any support is just turned into soda for motivation and cat snacks.

lowercase skye Posted October 6, 2024 Share Posted October 6, 2024 Absolutely beautiful artwork. I don't know the intricacies of ONI's gameplay myself (still pretty inexperienced), but I love that background at the starting biome, the way the new materials' textures look, the seashells scattered around, that red palm tree... If you told me these pictures were from an official DLC announcement, I would believe you. Keep on doin' what you're doin!

Commander Steps Posted October 6, 2024 Share Posted October 6, 2024 Awesome More like a full DLC than a mod. So as I know understand what you were referring to on Reddit: Yes, I think for a mod like this we could definitely add support to MapsNotIncluded.org in the form of handling it like the Frosty Planet DLC. We should discuss that. Link to comment https://forums.kleientertainment.com/forums/topic/160094-beached-the-mod-thread/#findComment-1752052 Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm super busy with preparing for the alpha of the mod though so direct contribution is beyond my ability for the time being. ^^' Link to comment https://forums.kleientertainment.com/forums/topic/160094-beached-the-mod-thread/#findComment-1752056 Share on other sites More sharing options...
