karamawari Posted December 10, 2012 Share Posted December 10, 2012 Lately, some of the efforts by the devs to get us out of our turtling ways have been of the stick variety, meaning the hell hounds and krampus etc. Now lets get together and try and think of some ideas that will reward us with becoming nomads, that will give us the metaphorical carrot so to speak.My idea, not a terribly original one I admit, is procedurallly generated infinite worlds, like minecraft. I actually thought this game was going to have much larger maps and was sorely disappointed when exploration meant walking around only a single digit number of islands.

Handsome Matt Posted December 10, 2012 Share Posted December 10, 2012 The map generation is being redone in the next couple of updates, I don't think it'll be infinite, but a lot better than it currently is.

Palpetinus Posted December 10, 2012 Share Posted December 10, 2012 The world could never be infinite, as everything is loading the same time, unlike minecraft, which works with chunks.

Jonah Hollow Posted December 10, 2012 Share Posted December 10, 2012 The devs have planned a story mode, where once you run out of resources on the island, or when you want to, or somehow, you craft a portal and are taken to another new island.

Jejkobb Posted December 10, 2012 Share Posted December 10, 2012 maybe random bones that would drop from some mobs, and with the bones you would be able to tame the dogs to be your pets. When tamed they would kind of act like pigs, and fight creatures for you or fetch food...What do you think?

winddbourne Posted December 10, 2012 Share Posted December 10, 2012 (edited) Agreed, everything they have done to make things harder on turtles/farmers has made it ever more tempting for me to stop wandering the map freely gathering wild resources and exploring new locations. I made a thread specifically about my "nomad" problem earlier today. The addition of pigs being limited and krampus destroying my chests for killing rabbits just pushes it over the top. http://forums.kleientertainment.com/showthread.php?3803-Death-of-a-Nomad Edited December 10, 2012 by winddbourne Link to comment https://forums.kleientertainment.com/forums/topic/3500-a-discussion-on-the-stick-and-carrot-approach/#findComment-28542 Share on other sites More sharing options...
