new kind of torch

bleh I've said this many times already, just because he's often depicted with a torch DOESN'T MEAN his entire character should be based around it. Again, we've seen at least another instance where he wore a miner hat in the shorts.

@MarcoReverie I've been thinking to add an extra ability to Beard Shield, which is waterproofness. But obviously not as much as rain hat (70%) or umbrella (90%). Maybe 25%-50% depending on the beard stage.

Wilson does not need any rework... Just make a mod for yourself and do not ruin the game for everyone else!

Beard shield is strong enoght, don't you think? Actually, i was reading again your concept on that, and I see that you lose a beard hair after 100 damage. That means you will lose the beard after taken 1,300 of damage? So, eventually you will lose the beard. My point is, there should be an option preserve your beard and its perk. 

Tell me what do you think about this (balancing, function and exchange rates):

Ancient Transmute: New transforms (one-sided): 
10 Moon Rock (or Desert Stone) to 1 Pearl.
8 Bone Shards to 1 Fossil Fragments.
1 Iridescent Gem to 6 Thulecite Fragments.

Finally, you said something about a beard whip? Maybe I insist to much but an eternal Morning star still not convincing me. But, what about extend its durability by a modify. Regarding the beard whip, I thinking better on a Star Flail. A range weapon that extend durability (x days) of a Morning star.

I hope you understand me, Im not so good at my english.

Considering after dying/turning into Wonkey and back to normal you'd also lose the beard, I'd rather have the beard hairs dropped before such thing happened lel

If anything, your beard comb is the one that hadn't convinced me lmao  since if we were to take account multiplayer-gaming time, it can only be shared with Webber (but of course most Webbers don't mind shaving their beard for silks).

But an electric whip does sound interesting so  considering we had the melee option (morning star) and dart option (electric darts).

Well, all Beard perks are exclusive for Wilson. I mean, none of them have a multiplayer purpose. Maybe the storage but just for carrying food.

The idea on the comb is because all your perks related with your Beard will lose on summer. You can not storage, shaving every 2 days, no armor, etc.

“Ruin the game”? Poor Wilson players are just unleashing their imagination in their own little corner, not disturbing anyone.

not necessarily, you can put thermal stones in iceboxes and swap them whenever one turns grey. or watering them on a farm plot (it can go down much cooler than the one kept in icebox). or go to caves. or late game-wise, use the Ice Crystaleyezer (such a silly name, I just nicknamed it Ice-zer) - it had a decently big range that covered the areas of my base that I'm around frequently.

the point is, there are now many ways to keep cool during summer without losing the beard. I myself had gone countless days without shaving the beard.

[FillerText]

Maybe also give the blueprint/prototyping skills the ability to "learn" crafting recipes from unfamiliar items he picked up? I think it's in spirit for Wilson to try to "learn on the go" by trying to make a copy of something cool he just saw without a station. Potentially make it work with some items, that can't be prototyped? Idk, just a random thought of mine. Your Skill tree concept is good!

[Anis5240]

This should be like the possible 'final' (hah, yeah right ) adjustments of my ideas.

As always, feel free to comment.

[EerieEra]

Lots of this is great, balancing his role as a survivor and a scientist. Alchemy and Metallurgy are logical next steps for him.

But I have one gripe: Wilson should be given a Portable Science Station, which can be upgraded to other station tiers, and have different cosmetic designs to match different Wilsons. It is all I wanted when his rework was announced.

[Anis5240]

oh right I forgot to add that players resurrected by Wilson with the Hardy Heart perk will have more HP and hunger restored (at least 33% increase)

[chenxx]

Import the Thumper from Hamlet for Wilson so that he can obtain 5 dread stone for Charlie without fighting Nightmare Werepigs and also mine resources more efficiently.

Wilson can obtain key items without having to face certain dangers.

no thanks; we already have discount Wagstaff via Winona, we don't need another.

It's a decent idea, but Wilson can already convert pure horror into dreadstone/pure brilliance into infused glass shards (and vice versa) via the affinity skills.

[Anis5240]

You know, I've been thinking about something funny; what if Wilson can actually use 'the power of his mind' to fight.

It could be a head-slot contraption that shoots some lasers at the cost of his sanity. (yes, it's kinda like a discount frygoggles Wagstaff had but whatever lmao)

Oh wow, I didn't expect that, jeje.

Maybe by crafting a Brainstorminator? Hehe, kinda fusioning mind and magic

kinda like that yeah, lmao

but I imagine just shooting lasers and then run a bit while waiting for it to be out of cooldown before attacking again is well, not exactly a fun fight (granted, that's probably more in fault of DST combat system if anything) so eksdee

Well, will you add it to you concept tree? I know is difficult to get a final version, jeje.
