Jungle Biome

[Murr2J]

I've been playing Don't Starve for a rather long period of time. It's probably one my top ten favorite actually. While the game is amazing as it is, I do wish to impose a suggestion. One of the most common survival scenarios is being lost inside the unforgiving jungle. So why not incorporate it into Don't Starve by making a Jungle biome.

 

In the Jungle, it would a bit more often than it normally would in other places, but trees should be fireproof in that reign to prevent forest fires from lightning. The trees themselves would be rather large, to the point to the player can barely see the top when standing next to one. If you were to chop down a tree, there would a chance that a mob, like a snake or a spider of some sort to fall out of it and attack the player.

 

With the new biome, I also thought of something that i thought they should put in the game: Poison. Upon being attacked by a Jungle mob, you may get poisoned, which will cause your health to slowly decrease for a small period of time.

 

This is just a basis suggestion. I don't expect anyone to take it seriously. But if you liked my ideas, share it with other people. See if they have anything to add onto it.

I would love this. Especially if Jungles act as sort of a "blockade" to a plentiful biome that can only be reached by going through it.

 

In order to make it more threatening, I'm thinking that Jungleguards should work a little different. A large group of Jungleguards spawns every week, all of which plant a few Jungle Tree seeds on the borders of the biome and then go back to their original spot and become trees again. Jungle trees in an area could transform turf to Jungle Turf, as well as spawning mobs and stuff, which could be removed by cutting down the trees (Turf would go back to its original form). 

 

As you reach the heart of the jungle, it should get darker until the Grue can eventually attack. The FOV could be lowered too.

I think if they have this, they should be really careful with how they generate nearby biomes. I don´t want Don´t Starve to turn into Minecraft, by having  stuff like a snowy biome right next to a desert. 

Maybe if it was a secluded island, it could work.

I came up with the same idea, including the poison one.

I love this--a jungle biome would certainly add a new tone the game is currently missing and could benefit from. It could be argued that the swamp is "jungle-like," but the place lacks all the foliage normally associated with a jungle--I would love to see some thick green. 

Some ideas for creatures could be a snake/centipede creature that would attack the player much like a tentacle would, randomly from a bush or tree.

 

A predator could be a wild cat/tiger/kangaroo monster that would have the ability to knock back and to stun a player---possibly into a position to be attacked by a snake/centipede...just tossing stuff out guys.

Erm, my bad Harken. I just thought of something at the top of my head. I swear I didn't steal this from you. I also came up with another idea. When you chop down a tree, a poisonous frog may pop out. If you can trap it with the trap, you can cook it over a fire to harvest the poison. With the poison, you can add it to weapons, such as the normal dart of the spear.
