WX is now the "random BS go" character

[aidancode]

A criticism I didn't want to give Walter's tree is that it kinda felt random in a lot of places. He's got a lot of perks in a lot of different areas which is cool for building but does have minor issues with defining Walter as a character. Emphasis on the minor, though, as Walter's identity as a survivor is still fairly well defined.

WX78 on the other hand is kinda poorly defined now. He's got two main things, his circuits and his structures, and they pretty much don't interact at all. The character feels divided in two. Willow is similar in some regards, but I tihnk WX has it much worse.

To be clear, I like the direction of the skill tree overall, but I think ways to integrate the various sides of his character would be good.

For instance, certain circuits could be socketed in the drones to enhance their effects. The view distance, speed, chorusbox, and illumination circuits already would fit great with movable structures.

Another option could be some kind of resource management with charge -- WX could basically reduce his max charge to increase the number of drones he could make, or maybe his charge could be a resource in crafting them.

imo using charge as a crafting resource isnt a great idea, since its not like its a resource you have to farm, as it will slowly replenish itself over time. adding it as a crafting ingredient to drones wouldnt really change anything other then making the production of them ever so slightly more inconvenient.

now, using charge as a resource to super charge drones could be fun. the electric drone could get a stronger blast, the map drone could move faster/explore further, and the storage drone could transport faster.

if you gave me the option to socket drones they are all either having lights or movement speed

This was a cool thing I want too.

 

I thought he was gonna be able to out them in clockworks.

Putting the fire or ice circuit in the shock drone to make it fire/ice would be cool.
