Ajosen Posted December 6, 2015 Share Posted December 6, 2015 I like the idea of whales dropping whale oil. This would allow us to not have to rely on fireflies which are technically finite, and in the real world whales where hunted for their oil which burned with a very bright flame so it was used in lanterns so you know Klei. PLS make this happen. Also I want whales to have more unique drops making them more important.

cordae85 Posted December 6, 2015 Share Posted December 6, 2015 I finally killed the whale thing and never got back around to looting it, but I think your idea has merit. For such a massive creature it should drop many things, maybe even things it swallowed! Like trinkets! Or a NEW PLAYER Called... JONAH! And there are no W related names to Whale, the meaning of Jonah 'Dove', the antonym of it is Wolf but we already have Wolfgang so that's out. A near antonym of Dove per Merriam-Webster is Scalawag (or Scallywag which more people might read as the right spelling)! Which sort of fits, but not really. Maybe he could be dyslexic and read things backwards and you could kind of make it fit. Man I really like this idea. I hope someone reads this. On a side note Thesaurus.com kept diverting my 'Dove' search to Dive... Time to rethink my Thesaurus methinks. And on further investigation Scalawags were Southern Dissenters after the American Civil War... What the... I thought it really had something to do with maritime sailing. Like 'Argh ye Scallywag, swab the poop-deck' or something. I've spent too much time on this post and I need to get back to this delicious game. It really is quite lovely.

Aalda11 Posted December 6, 2015 Share Posted December 6, 2015 Yeah, I was thinking just today it'd be nice to have some renewable fuel for the ship lantern and miner's hat. It's pretty likely though they'll add some equivalent of light bulbs otherwise you'd burn through all the fireflies on all the islands within the first year Link to comment https://forums.kleientertainment.com/forums/topic/60249-whale-oil-for-lanterns/#findComment-693496 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rlyehian Posted December 6, 2015 Share Posted December 6, 2015 I finally killed the whale thing and never got back around to looting it, but I think your idea has merit. For such a massive creature it should drop many things, maybe even things it swallowed! Like trinkets! Whales do indeed drop swallowed items when harvested. They drop Blubber, fish, ( + a harpoon for white whale) plus a couple random items. I have found gasmask, life jacket, and some other stuff.

Fledge Posted December 9, 2015 Share Posted December 9, 2015 And on further investigation Scalawags were Southern Dissenters after the American Civil War... What the... I thought it really had something to do with maritime sailing. Like 'Argh ye Scallywag, swab the poop-deck' or something. Scallywag was a common term in the UK up until fairly recently (certainly long past the American Civil War!) to mean a rascal - usually used for children, it was at least half endearing. "Oh you little scallywag, you!" I had no idea it traced back to American history. On a not completely unrelated note, I like how they made one food source a Wascally Wobster Link to comment https://forums.kleientertainment.com/forums/topic/60249-whale-oil-for-lanterns/#findComment-695298 Share on other sites More sharing options...
