Asparagus Posted March 2, 2015 Share Posted March 2, 2015 In DST right now, they say that making a Miner Hat is a bit resource consuming as it can't be refueled by the abundant cave flower's light bulb in the caves and the firefly drop from tumble weeds... So... Why not make fireflies spawn near ponds every new moon? Overflow you say? Why not make fireflies spawn much like the pond plant? a limit is set and are spawned at random parts of the pond! but of course the fireflies spawning here would spawn a few steps away from the actual pond... Probably limit them to 2-3 per pond at a time... Just some pseudo code:if world event = newmoon thencount number of fireflies in pond spawn radiusif fireflies => 2 thendo nothingelsenumber of fireflies to be spawned = 3 - (number of fireflies in radius)spawn (number of fireflies to be spawned) in random radius around pondcould also work for spawning grass and saplings I'm also very open to the other things that could grow in "New Moon" world events... but I thought fireflies spawning in ponds was a logical start O____O Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Asparagus Posted March 3, 2015 Author Share Posted March 3, 2015 the pseudo code has pretty colors... O___O Open at your own risk: ... Oh well...Don't let this post die just yet... pwees Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GuyNamedChris Posted March 3, 2015 Share Posted March 3, 2015 so many spoilers for a video with an error - 3 - w/e...... Anyway.... maybe there can be a higher chance for a meteor shower with more moon rocks? Well...I don't know......plz don't kill me ._. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So you're saying that another phase of the moon has a chance to...hmm... So... on full moons, meteor showers can have a higher chance of dropping Moon Rocks?

CaptainFun Posted March 4, 2015 Share Posted March 4, 2015 I always thought fireflies should be more renewable. This is a good idea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Letter W Posted March 6, 2015 Share Posted March 6, 2015 They're a summer critter irl, correct? (I ask since I've literally never seen one before in my life, thanks Northern Canada)Maybe during the Full Moons in the RoG Summer they can start cropping up. It's not much, but it does give Summer something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michi01 Posted March 6, 2015 Share Posted March 6, 2015 Yeah, they always come when it's warm enough for wearing t-shirts at night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very logical... having them them spawn every new moon/full moon only in summer would make them renewable but at the same time too abundant. *tips hat to @The Letter W Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would only spawn them providing there was < x amount in the world by the time summer rolls around, to prevent the player just harvesting 3000 of them at any given time. The only other thing I can think of is having a special plant that would attract them, perhaps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rezecib Posted March 7, 2015 Share Posted March 7, 2015 @The Letter W, Yup, it's definitely possible. I used something like that in my mushroom and reed spawner mod (it kept track of how many there were total, and made sure it never exceeded the world's original number * 1.5 or something) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
