Containers , Furnaces , "Potions" [And More!]

[TylerTheDragon]

Now , I got this idea from the picture of Wilson on the main menu , He is holding a test tube filled with a mysterious green liquid. I thought to myself - Shouldn't WE be able to have Test tubes and secret potion-like things?

So the idea came to me that there should be bottles and other containers , like test tubes , buckets and other things.

Now - I'm not a great drawer so I don't have a picture to show a basic idea on what they look like - but I have some ideas for them.

This would add the feature of "Glass" , which is heated sand , odviously meaning that you'd have to cook sand - sand could be either on a beach dug up , OR , you can find bits randomly - like flint.

You would have to have a good fire - which could be made with like a science machine that puts things on fire , Like a furnace , that would also act as a burner , that could turn wood into charcoal - and many other things. But how would you get it out without burning your hands? heres my next idea!

Gloves - We all like gloves , and with current equipment , they could fit in perfectly - To see my ideas on gloves - heres my thread - [Coming Soon to a forum near you]

One of my ideas is to have Oven mitts , which would make the furnace usable without using willow as a character , sinse she Is immune to fire damage. This would make it able to take things out of the furnace-like item heres the ingredients -

Test tube : "A magical container - for SCIENCE!" 1 Glass.

Bottle : "A medium sized container - that can contain SCIENCE!" 3 glass.

Bucket : "A Giant container - that can't contain SCIENCE!" 3 wood , 3 grass (can put out fires)

The bottle could also be used to send messages in a bottle , which would require paper(papyrus) and the bottle item - it could even be used for the co-op type thing that kevin was talking about - where you could interact with other players.

The Bucket would be used purely for containing water only - which you can throw on tree fires if you accidently set things on fire (it would have a durability that when goes down to 0% , you get an empty bucket again) It could also contain "beefalo milk" which would raise your hunger by 15-30 , and it would be a 1 time use.

The test tube can only hold small liquids , and could be used with the bottle to craft "potions" that could do different effects , like set things on fire , fill hunger , and even drug/poison enemies with mouths (wouldn't work on tentacles)

Bottles would be used to hold liquids together to mix them to make other potion-like drinks that could immune you from fire damage for a limited time , Makes things grow around you , and even poisons that work on many more things like fish ponds , nests , hives and many other animal homes , it would even work on tentacles!

Thank you for reading - its just a suggestion , so its not a big deal

Well I certainly support the inclusion of beaches, and everyone knows about melting sand to create glass, so sure, why not? I don't think we would find glass like flint however. However in another thread I suggested that, if we should never be allowed to create glass from sand, that instead maybe we could find bottles which have washed ashore on the beach.

Maybe... but we would need more than one invention to craft a forge/furnace.

It seems like an extra unnecessary step... like tongs. I'm all for realism, but only so far as it doesn't require us to create too many one-purpose items. If a furnce creates glass from sand, just have us place sand into the furnace and it spits out glass. Otherwise there's still my other suggestion about finding bottles.

Bottle : "A medium sized container - that can contain SCIENCE!" 3 glass.

Okay. The bucket is something I thought about before for two different ideas, namely watering plants and secondly for collecting rubber sap from rubber trees. However I suppose you could also use it to extinguish fires. Of course that would mean we need a water supply, so it would either need to be filled from ponds, the sea, or something new... like a stream/river.

The bottle could also be used to send messages in a bottle , which would require paper(papyrus) and the bottle item - it could even be used for the co-op type thing that kevin was talking about - where you could interact with other players.

*shrug* I have no comments for co-op or multiplayer.

The Bucket would be used purely for containing water only - which you can throw on tree fires if you accidently set things on fire (it would have a durability that when goes down to 0% , you get an empty bucket again) It could also contain "beefalo milk" which would raise your hunger by 15-30 , and it would be a 1 time use.

Okay, there's milk too. However unlike cows from Minecraft I assume beefalo wouldn't like you messing around with them. To milk a beefalo you would probably need your beefalo hat. Also, I'm sure you meant it satiates your hunger.

Yes to drug/poison, no to the term "potion" (but hey, that's just me). Personally I like the idea of creating "tonics". I don't think anything you should brew should eleviate hunger however, as food already serves in this capacity. And why would you need a chemical that could start fires when we already have the torch? Other users have suggested tonics that increase speed or strength for limited durations. Poison is popular, as I originally wanted to create poison darts rather than the current sleeping variety. Lastly, while food does restore health it can be inconvenient to eat during combat... so maybe a medicinal tonic that heals wounds?

Bottles would be used to hold liquids together to mix them to make other potion-like drinks that could immune you from fire damage for a limited time , Makes things grow around you , and even poisons that work on many more things like fish ponds , nests , hives and many other animal homes , it would even work on tentacles!

Sure, limited fire resistance and growth serum. Not sure where you're going with poisoning the ponds... if it kills fish then you probably should eat said fish.
