Hi. Posted April 7 Share Posted April 7 Please can Klei add some kind of way to spawn the forcibly spawn the Greater depths worm? Maybe you could do this after day 25 and maybe you can only do this every 10 days or so. I really want it's figure sketch for my day 2000+ world. 4 Link to comment https://forums.kleientertainment.com/forums/topic/170586-greater-depths-worm/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
BB Marioni Posted April 7 Share Posted April 7 It also seems to despawn when you go too far. It should not be the case as normally it shows up when you least expect it, so you need to prepare yourself and go back to fight it, but then it disappeared already.

Ridley Posted April 7 Share Posted April 7 I usually see the Greater Depth Worm right when I am almost at the end of a surface dwelling playthough. I play pretty slow so that is around day 350 for me. Got one somewhere around 100 on my cave base world.

user1464576869 Posted April 7 Share Posted April 7 I think it showed up in my first year's summer? Was just down there for a second mapping out various biomes for the first proper time, there it came. I was very very surprised that it despawned, but I was also not at all interested in dealing with it Link to comment https://forums.kleientertainment.com/forums/topic/170586-greater-depths-worm/#findComment-1859098 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baark0 Posted April 7 Share Posted April 7 (edited) no with the exception of when i maxed out its spawnrate Frankly I couldn't care less about that boss, it drops absolutely nothing of value, aside from the very low chance of getting fossil pieces (which does technically make them renewable, however they're so rare that it might as well not exist when paired with how rare the boss is). No unique boss drop either is a major let down, as one of the coolest part about bosses is getting to craft something related to the boss with one of their dropped parts (scaled furnace, eyebrella, stuff like that). A glow berry lure hat that provided light and lured creatures in could've been cool.

Cheggf Posted April 7 Share Posted April 7 Yeah he came out of nowhere. It was really surprising. I don't look at what updates add so I can experience it myself and figure it out on my own so I had no idea they added that.

Waywarbler Posted April 8 Share Posted April 8 Haven't been playing DST much. I've seen it three times total though. TBH if you run away and despawn it, it should come back in the next wave. 1 Link to comment https://forums.kleientertainment.com/forums/topic/170586-greater-depths-worm/#findComment-1859196 Share on other sites More sharing options...

DegenerateFurry Posted April 8 Share Posted April 8 I tend not to spend too much time in the caves outside of the first in-game year nowadays, so I haven't encountered one.

Swiyss Posted April 8 Share Posted April 8 stop. I don't want a way to spawn it forcifully, and I also don't want it to be more active. It is already balanced and the data of people that didn't see it is missing a bunch of varieties from time played or if they have even been into the caves. so please no.

BeeClops Posted April 8 Share Posted April 8 I mean it honestly just comes down to how much time you spend in the caves, I've had plenty of encounters when working on cave bases. 3 Link to comment https://forums.kleientertainment.com/forums/topic/170586-greater-depths-worm/#findComment-1859265 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Same. By "plenty" I mean "three", but in relation to the time I spent in the cave in that world it feels very reasonable. They are not that frequent at all but you will definitely encounter them as long as you hang around in the cave.

Sadly, there's not much incentive One idea I had was to have a trawler attached to the boat so fishing and exploring can be done at the same time, instead of having to stop in the middle of the ocean to fish.

Frosty_Mentos Posted April 9 Share Posted April 9 I think it should be guaranteed that one first or second worm wave after many days passed while on surface it'd come to you. It's kinda not existent and I love the fight with it which makes me sad not to see it often.

Wow, that is a heck of a way to go about playing, I'll have to try really hard to hide update information from myself at some point. I kinda miss being surprised by stuff like the old days, although I can't wait to be surprised in other locations... some might use the word Elsewhere...

I kinda miss being surprised by stuff like the old days, although I can't wait to be surprised in other locations... some might use the word Elsewhere... Subtle but not at all. It's awesome, every game that's like this I play like this. If it's like Dead by Daylight or League of Legends or Counter-Strike or something I obviously will just read the patch notes but games like R.E.P.O., Lethal Company, Don't Starve, ULTRAKILL, etc, I'll either ignore the patch notes if the game doesn't obscure spoilers or only read the parts that aren't spoilers. For example, I don't know who Frostjaw is. Off the top of my head Frostjaw is the only thing I remember seeing people talk about that I haven't personally discovered. All I know about him is that the electric circuit apparently makes him deal comparable DPS to a spider so he presumably uses multi-hit attacks like sharks do. I found an ice ring in the ocean, so I assume Frostjaw is a boss fight that you summon there by doing something. And I get to figure out what that something is. I bet it's fishing in the center of the circle, but I haven't tried yet. Also, if anyone replies to me telling me about how to summon Frostjaw or something like that, you will get blocked! Even if it's just confirming that I do fish there to summon him!
