Walter Skill Suggestion - Item Tracking

[SpiderSister]

I thought of the following skill for Walter.

Quote

Walter can let Woby smell an item, and Woby goes to another such item if there's one sufficiently close.

Maybe in case she receives logs, rocks, beefalo wool etc. Woby could find a source of that item if that is close instead, such as trees, boulders and beefalos.

I haven't played Walter much, but I think this could be a fun and unique form of support that relates to Walter's survival side. Would love to hear your thoughts.

like the tracker of wheeler? think it does fit walter

I think it's good idea. There was Wheeler's Navigadget in the past. It seem very useful for exploring the ocean.

I haven't played single-player Don't Starve, but from what I read on the wiki, it would be similar to Wheeler's Navigadget, yes. Though Woby would lead you to that item, rather than point at it.

That would be pretty fun. Maybe you could even use marble and get lead to the marble pieces.

yess i love this, it fits, and it builds on their backstory, that Woby got to the Constant some time before Walter. i'd really want Woby to spawn with 1 monster jerky in her bag, so finding 2 more monster meat / jerky on day 1 is less based on world gen luck

Oh yes! I think it would be very nice if it could lead to marble pieces, as they can sometimes be quite annoying to find (without mods).

Make Woby do the tracking, she smells the item, and she will guide you to the nearest source.

It works well with Walter's general explorer playstyle and has good synergy with how he often benefits from set pieces (marble sculptures, Pig King and Glommer, the Junk Yard). Very much something that reinforces his identity as a scout.

[Dingle]

I like this a lot, especially if it could help find the marble setpiece or pieces.

[Debruh]

This or an item that does the same thing would be nice
