Khalico Posted December 16, 2015 Share Posted December 16, 2015 The mosquitoes were really wrecking me. Sure you can wear armor but I feel like there's just not enough slots for everything with the addition of so many items, and your choice is armor or backpack. So I propose a candle. It could be made with say rope and honey, and would repel the nasty venomous bugs.

LaDestitute Posted December 16, 2015 Share Posted December 16, 2015 I was thinking about this, and the idea just doesn't work mechanically to me. A candle is small, so it wouldn't make sense for it to be a permanent structure, even if it was on some sort of rod or stand. Being shaped like a lightning rod may work, though. It doesn't make sense as an item, either. You'd have to equip it for it to be active, and that means forgoing a weapon. You'll be defenseless and smacking at a giant bug with a candle isn't too easy or damaging, either. Knowing Klei, it would also be snuffed out by rain and strong winds. Poison Mosquitoes are somewhat hard to deal with, but that's the thing about Don't Starve. You learn how to get better and fight enemies more smoothly. For someone like Wendy, it's rather easy, since she has Abigail. With other characters, learn to make use of ranged weapons or just avoid them. Time is valuable in Don't Starve, but it's not exceedingly difficult to equip a Seashell Suit close to one and stun-lock the bugger to death. Then just continue on about your day.

Khalico Posted December 16, 2015 Author Share Posted December 16, 2015 Being shaped like a lightning rod may work, though. Alternately then, a bug zapper would work. And it would have the added difficulty of requiring gears to build, which everyone has noted are really tough to find.

BravePotato Posted December 17, 2015 Share Posted December 17, 2015 How about we made some medicine and burn it at campfire to create a fog area (like fog at tombstone area in vanila) to prevent mosquitoes in a day?

Codsworth Posted December 17, 2015 Share Posted December 17, 2015 an Candlehat, as long as you wears it mosquitoes run away from you, so you can still have your backpack on. or maybe an censer, that you can put on your base or carry around in the weapon slot so they don't get close to it. (if you need to fight you just put it on the ground and get a weapon) xD Link to comment https://forums.kleientertainment.com/forums/topic/60829-citronella-candle/#findComment-698335 Share on other sites More sharing options...
