More Animal-Chests? (A solution to the 1 chester problem in DST)

[DwerBomb]

So, we all know there is only one Chester in the game.

So what will happen in DST? Only one Chester for more players?

I suggest adding some retextured Chesters that work like Chester, only with a different texture, like, for example, an eyeball with leafy paws, or a clockwork walking chest, and every "Chester" will have a different Eyebone.

And maybe there will be a small percentage of having a retextured Chester instead of the normal one in Single player.

[Battal]

I really think it should be more to-the-victor-go-the-spoils with Chester.  So like everyone is fighting to try and get the Eyebone xD

[Pyromailmann]

Yeah. Maybe one could be named "James", it's red and is similar to chester, but is like a tiny chest with legs. It'd be obtainable in singleplayer as well and has nothing unique about him besides it's design

[Cyde042]

Well, there actually are a red and blue eye'd eyebones in the inventoryitems.tex (capture the flag?). But I agree with Battal, chester is a luxury in some manner, should be limited.

The red eyebone is default, the dark one is nightmare chester and the blue one fridge chester.

While I agree with Battal in that Chester should be a luxury, I also think that there should be several, very hard to find eyebones. The first guy to find one has Chester follow him, and any other eyebones give anyone who owns one a special inventory in Chester.

E.G. Eric finds the first eyebone, so Chester follows him. Fred then finds one, so when he uses Chester, he accesses his own inventory, not Eric's. Gerald cannot use Chester, as he doesn't have an eyebone.

Just my two cents.

Oh. I didn't get to upgrading chester yet. Thanks for making it clear.

I would prefer this way too. Here is my take on the whole multiple Chester suggestion: http://forums.kleientertainment.com/topic/36103-how-to-rebalance-dont-starve-for-multiplayer-console-commands-yesno-page-16/?p=499257

I don't really see the point, if going for this why not just make multiple chesters anyway and save a lot of work?

[Battal]

Here's another thing; the more Chesters there are, the more likely the player is to find them.  So by adding more, you're actually making them less valuable.  Deflation and the stock market and schiz.

Maybe there should be just one chester. There's an idea. Whao! That's already how it works!

 

Maybe 1 chester-like creature for every 3 players online. (1 chester for 1, 2, 3 players) (2 for 4, 5, 6)

The game should force you to pick who gets to use Chester. If someone is being an ass, lure some monsters to them and have them killed and take the eyebone. c:

My idea was (number of players)-1 [for a minimum of 1]= number of Chesters.

But something like each 2 players=1 Chester sounds better.

Still, I am curious about what the devs will do about Chester. The reason why I made this thread in the first place was to lure one of them in here to tell us about how our storage friend will work in DST...didnt work though

[spencer320]

What if there's NO Chester?

[SomeDontStarveFan]

If there can be then be more then 1 chester ill find all the eyebones and make a army of chesters

And that is how Chester Overlords came to rule the world....
