SquarelyCircle Posted September 27, 2014 Share Posted September 27, 2014 I'd like to make a suggestion that I'd really like to see in DST: Base Defense mode. In this mode, you spend the days gathering resources and building your base, and then during the night you defend yourself.There could be a variety of options that make this interesting. For example, "Save the President" mode would require only a specific player to survive the night. "Save the King" mode could require you to protect the pig king, who would spawn where you start, and you have to build defenses around him. "Save the Village" could require you to protect a bunch of pig houses. "Save the Hill" could require you to protect a different spot each night (which would be revealed immediately after surviving a night, and would get progressively farther and farther away each night. "Save the Wanderer" could require you to save an NPC that is constantly walking around randomly, with no guarantee that it'll stay in one spot all night. The night would be a hectic barrage of enemies akin to a tower defense. I'm imagining something like that demo where you gave everyone 15 minutes, and then all hell broke loose... except a little more possible. This mode could be fun with additional objects, such as turrets. I'm imagining firing carrots out of a long barrel stationary rifle. When you use it, you zoom out and can click locations to shoot carrots, which, of course, would be more useful with lighting placed at a distance during the night. Exploding pumpkin catapults, aerial egg bombers, or flaming log fthooters (fthooot being the sound they make when they launch). I believe the Base Defense Mode would bring yet another cool aspect to DST that would provide hours upon hours of fun! Thanks!

~Matt Posted September 27, 2014 Share Posted September 27, 2014 Even though I like the general idea, I think it goes a bit off the road from the game's main promises regarding what the player will find. I wouldn't say it should be discarded, only saved and left for a game that is not Don't Starve.

Pyromailmann Posted September 27, 2014 Share Posted September 27, 2014 I'd wait for plugins for DST. I overheard on a DST devcast that they're going to make servers as modifiable as they can.

LadyMeda Posted September 27, 2014 Share Posted September 27, 2014 That sounds like fun. But...It seems off track for the basic (klei created) DST. It also seems like it would be almost as much fun in single player. Have you thought about pitching your idea to some mod creators? I'd totally be down to play that mod.

tetrified Posted September 27, 2014 Share Posted September 27, 2014 Aaaaand I just realized the name of the thread is "mod request: base defense". Derp. Sorry, I missed that part before. Don't ask me how. [mode request] I think he may be pitching it to klei, not the modding community.

Mario384 Posted September 27, 2014 Share Posted September 27, 2014 I could see this as a multiplayer mod, and I think it would be fun. Link to comment https://forums.kleientertainment.com/forums/topic/41173-mode-request-base-defense/#findComment-541926 Share on other sites More sharing options...
the truthseeker Posted September 28, 2014 Share Posted September 28, 2014 Assumed it was a gameplay mode. of course if he meant mod, let us know and we can edit the topic/place it with other requests.
