Great Mod Idea, Need Suggestions

[Cyde042]

If you played DST, you'd know that there is a syringe in there. My idea is to make a couple of variants for the single player game:

• Last Stand - you regenerate hp for some time. Of course the materials should be pretty rare, but it's mostly meant for battle when you don't have time to use poultice.
• Adrenaline Shot - pretty self explanatory, makes you faster at the cost of higher hunger rate. Great for getting from one place to another or to escape, especially useful in caves and ruins.
• Thick Skin - reduces damage taken. This could be used for escapes when you need to carry the backpack with you. Still not sure if it's the best since you can just use a helmet. Made using shell fragments. Edit: scratch this, make it so you wont get stun locked.
• Boiling Veins - synthesize the glow berries to emanate light from your body. Made using glow berries.
• Electro Bolt - all your weapons deal electric damage like morning star. Made using eel
• Smelly - you can't be targeted by mobs except if provoked. Made with durian

I imagine this can be easily done by taking a look at the thulecite crown since it activates a temporary effect.

Also suggest what the recipes should be, but try to keep it vanilla items only.

Any other ideas? I propose the mod name should be - Addicted

I actually made an electric stim for IR Military. Check it out!

(it's just a healer with short speed increase)

 

Good ideas. Just the starting point with the thulecite crown is, frankly, total BS. The glow berry is (obviously) a much better tip. But there's still better ways to go over certain things. Maybe investigating some potion effects from Alchemical Brewage gives you ideas.

Synthesized Werebeaver Blood - Made using Nightmare Fuel, Berries, and an obscene amount of wood. Makes you turn into a Werebeaver regardless of time of character choice.

But that's woodie's niche, I don't intend on taking it away from him.

Can you elaborate? I don't understand.

Instead of turning the player into a Werebeaver, they temporarily turn into a Werepig/Pig/Etcetera. I've seen a few mods that do something along the lines of this, not sure how easy/worthwhile it is to do, though. Edited August 25, 2015 by KidneyBeanBoy

Wouldn't this be quite complicated and/or tedious code-wise, though?

Yes, but not much more than making a player-useable stim. You'd just have to define a slightly different action path (can be done parallel to player-useability).
