Can klei add a Plugged Sinkhole to Lunar Island that leads to the Lunar Grotto?

[rain grass]

This will make it easier for players to find Lunar Island.In the plot, Lunar Grotto is also located below Lunar Island.

[gaymime]

that is actually pretty clever and would encourage people who cave OR sail but not both to interact with both

[Guille6785]

ngl this would actually be really fun

[Walrusst]

It would be interesting on the condition that the sinkhole had other cool things near it, and the process of breaking/exploiting the sinkhole was challenging.

Old sinkholes had a rope as your justification of you breaching the caves in DSA, so say you need a strong explosive stack, a lot of rope, and some sort of grapple to actually exploit the lunar sinkhole.

Maybe breaching the lunar sinkhole would also be a method of summoning the great depths worm?

[Kacpert25]

Maybe, but to make it not too easy, the sinkhole would first require mining it with a pick/axe. Of course, a passage to the surface would also have to be mined from the caves.

Genuinely had wished Klei had made a sinkhole on the island too. I even had a thought of making a staircase out of moonglass with a bathbomb, but honestly a normal sinkhole(maybe just with moonglass covering it)sounds just fine.

Bad idea. Lunar island is really important point of intrest in ocean exploration- we already have cave Item that make it easier to find lunar island- Astral Drtector.

Klei shoudn't nerf ocean exploration just because caves exist.

This is a fair point, but I want that extra sinkhole so bad. Maybe some kind of enlightenment shard cost item can make a drill that connects them. Klei plz.

So many people are against this or suggest making it difficult to open which would make adding it not matter in the first place. If I need Pick/Axe it would be interesting for people that sail but If someone wants to go to lunar to access Grotto it wouldn't be good to cut this option out.

Why would essentially adding a sinkhole on lunar require it to be somehow excessively punished for accessing?

I think that this is a good idea that would encourage players to try something new and there's literally nothing bad that comes with it.

[Johnny_Waffles]

I say this is a good idea, but I think it would only be accessible once you open it on the surface because it's WAAY easier to find blue mushroom biome than it is to go sailing to find lunar island and I would still enjoy a reason to sail besides money island

[hyoton123]

I think dumping you on a small island would be fair- still need to use boats to get to the main lunar island, but just much less of a hassle. Docks and boat bridges mean that everyone eventually has permanent lunar island access anyway.

 

Maybe should get options to open it on either end- pick/axe or higher to break the cave entrance if going from grotto to island, bath bomb (doesnt matter exactly, some lunar island item) to go from island to grotto, if for some reason a player opens it that way.

[Well-met]

god yes. This is years due

Maybe a sinkhole with broken stairs. You could repair it from the top side to access

[WilsonHiggs]

The ocean needs content... The idea is cool and was already suggested back when the grotto was added but the implementation is important, removing point of interest only accesible while sailing or not needing to sail to come back to the island is a big kick in the nuts to the sailing mechanic...

Also telelocator exists for those who don't want to sail back to the island

A wortox and a summer stone go a long way. Wanda and Winona teleports too. Boat bridges also work. you can just walk it.

[Frosty_Mentos]

I mean the idea of the island is basically that you need sea travel to get there. I don't mind it if was an optional option, but that place doesn't exactly makes sense to have a cave entrance (lore and gameplay wise)

Drop a rope.

I think it would be a fun quest to connect them. A special sinkhole on the surface of the lunar island that requires you to break it in a certain way, and a stair-less sinkhole in the caves that requires you to do something to connect it to the sinkhole up top. If you only make the cave part your character will remark that the roof is blocked, and if you only break the sinkhole your character will remark that it's a long way down. You need to do both to activate the sinkhole and gain easy access to the island.

[gaymime]

having a lunar sinkhole would also help if you drown too far away from the mainland shore
