[Mod Idea] Event and Boss Summoning

[Cosmic_Eternus]

This is a concept for a mod that lets you summon events and bosses without waiting for them. This mod will also make seasonal mobs and structures available all year.

Below is a list of features and how I think it should be implemented. All of these should have a config option to disable them and some will have additional configs that will be listed alongside them. 

If you think there are better ways to implement these features or ones that are missing feel free to change/add them.

 

Bosses:

• Deerclops: Can be summoned anytime by using a Hostile Flare in a Forest biome.
   
• Klaus: Loot Stash appears regardless of the season.
   
• Moose/Goose: Giving 20 Cut Grass to an unoccupied nest will create a nest that a Moose/Goose will occupy and lay an egg in. The occupied nest turns back into an unoccupied nest after the associated Moose/Goose is defeated.
   
• Antlion: Can be summoned by using a Hostile Flare in the Oasis Desert biome.
   
• Bearger: Can be summoned by using a Hostile Flare in a Deciduous Forest biome.
   
• Great Depths Worm: Can be summoned by using a Hostile Flare in the Caves.

 

Mobs:

• Pengulls: Will occasionally spawn in Rockyland Biomes and cannot starve. 
   
• No-Eyed Deer: Are always spawned and regrow antlers every 3-5 days.
   
• MacTusk: Walrus Camps are always spawned.
   
• Lureplants: Can spawn regardless of the season. Only a max of five naturally spawned Lureplants can spawn at a time (can be configured to be more or less ).
   
• Koalefant: 25% chance for Koalefants to spawn as their winter version regardless of the season (can be configured to be a higher or lower chance).
   
• Redbird: Can spawn regardless of the season.
   
• Snowbird: Can spawn regardless of the season.
   
• Bees/Butterflies: Are active regardless of the season.
   
• Hounds: Ice and Fire Hounds will appear together in waves and from Hound Mounds regardless of season.

 

Event:

• New Moon: Giving Nightmare Fuel to a Moon Dial causes the next night to be a New Moon.
   
• Full Moon: Giving a live Moon Moth to a Moon Dial causes the next night to be a Full Moon.
   
• Nightmare Cycle: Right clicking a Thulecite Medallion in your inventory advances the cycle to the next phase at the cost of 25 sanity. (Can be configured to cost more or less sanity).
   
• Lunar Rift: If Rifts are active, giving Pure Brilliance to the Unnatural Portal starts a Lunar Rift.
   
• Shadow Rift: If Rifts are active, giving Pure Horror to the Ancient Gateway starts a Shadow RIft.

 

Other:

• Mini Glaciers: Can grow to their largest size regardless of seasons.
   
• Ponds: Never freeze over.
   
• Rabbit Holes: Never collapse.
   
• Oasis: Is always full (can be configured to only fill for 5 days after Antlion is defeated. Can also be configured to fill for more or less days).
   
• Cactus: Will always have Cactus Flower blooming (can be configured to only bloom for 5 days after Antlion is defeated. Can also be configured to bloom for more or less days).
