fritoz Posted December 4, 2013 Share Posted December 4, 2013 (edited) Hi everyone! i have another idea for a mod!!! If any of you amazing modders out there would like to script this, that would be amazing!!! I can do any custom artwork if needed, i just have no clue how to mod efficiently! So my idea is based on playing many RPG's, and one of the mechanics i always liked was using a special shovel to dig up random treasure! hence: The Treasure-Hunting Shovel! Description: The THS (treasure hunting shovel) will be a limited use craftable tool. (see recipe below) You can only use the THS once per day, and has a limit of 5-10 uses *to be determined* so as to not enable mass digging spams a cooldown timer on top of the THS icon will let you know when you can use the THS again (is this possible within Dont Starve?) When you use the THS, you have a randomized chance to dig up treasure! the available treasure will be outlined below. Basically, it will be like the Ornate Treasure Chests in the ruins in as much as they produce randomized treasure Proposed Treasure Hunting Shovel Crafting Recipe: *craftable under the Shadow Manipulator tab 1 Regal Shovel3 Nightmare Fuel1 Purple Gem (if you have any ideas how to adjust this recipe, please suggest it!) Proposed Possible Treasure dig up: What do you think? I can easily change the existing shovel art to transform it into the Treasure Hunting Shovel, ill just add some gilt and jewels to make it more snazzy! By limiting its use to only once per day, i think it can become a fun diversion! Please feel free to run with this idea!! i know there are some crazy talented modders here on the forum. hopefully one of you will like this idea! cheers!

23rd Posted December 5, 2013 Share Posted December 5, 2013 I'm sure a recolored, faster spoilage meter could work well as a timer for when it's usable again. Not sure how doable that is, however.

Here's a cup of tea with spoilage and temperature meters, courtesy of Up and Away: It's certainly doable. Though it's not that easy.

Not sure how doable that is, however. NICE!! you are awesome, good idea sir! i kinda thought the once a day timer might the most tricky part of it all Here's a cup of tea with spoilage and temperature meters, courtesy of Up and Away:It's certainly doable. Though it's not that easy. thanks man! i appreciate the info, it is good to know at least it can be done with the architecture they have built into the game already That is one bling'd out shovel handle. thanks man! i just whipped it up in like 5 seconds, all the colors can be changed if they are too ghastly to look at, it was just an idea to flesh it out a bit better! i will of course make a real HQ vector one and a transparent .png if a modder is interested in making this happen! thanks for your interest and ideas, guys cheers Link to comment https://forums.kleientertainment.com/forums/topic/30187-mod-idea-treasure-hunting-shovel/#findComment-384519 Share on other sites More sharing options...
