BravePotato Posted December 21, 2015 Share Posted December 21, 2015 Hi everyone . I was playing SW, saling around, picking empty bottle, get blow by the wind and then an idea comes to my mind. ELECTRICITY! The following is questions (and answers) I think everyone will have for yourself when reading my idea. First, we need to solve how electricity work in DS.Should we have generator and power pylon connect each other using electric wires? The answer is no. That will break DS atmosphere. Instead I think we should use electric battery. What is electric battery made of?We already have a empty bottle as a container, we just need to put something inside to turn it into electric battery. There are two option I found:Logical option. Klei need to add new type of fruit: lemon . Lemon juice contain citric acid but in very low % (only 5% in total). So we need to concentrate acid by using alot of lemons (this will made battery rare and valueable). As an bonus we will have lemonade (lemon + ice). How we obtain lemon is another problem need to discussion (lemon tree of just use farm?)Non-logical option. Use alive jellyfish (FACT: irl they contain no electric whatsoever ).Then how we charge/recharge electric battery?There is many way to charge/recharge:Step 1: Attach battery into lighting rod. Step 2: Wait for rain. Step 3: ???. Step 4: Profit!Make a wind turbine with gears and electrical doodad, work better/only in Hurricane Season (another thing to discuss).Hit jellyfish with battery .Applications?We could have a whole new tab for only for this.Boat Engine: use on boat, high movement speed. End-game item. Could use for fighting boss, dodge meteor or just for quick move around island.Better version of Ice Box: new type of ice box require battery. Slow the food spoil time even more.Electrofishing: use to stun fish at decent range and catch it alive.First aid poison: yes, you are reading this right. Electricity could used to cure posion (bitten cases) at the cost of hp.Water pump machine: use bamboo as water pipe, we could solve the flooding problem with ease..... etc. (new ideas from everyone).That's all ! I'm very exciting to get response from everyone Link to comment https://forums.kleientertainment.com/forums/topic/61146-idea-electricity/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
SirBuizelton Posted December 21, 2015 Share Posted December 21, 2015 I like it, powering batteries or using the electricity from a powered lightning rod in general is stuff I've thought about too Link to comment https://forums.kleientertainment.com/forums/topic/61146-idea-electricity/#findComment-700112 Share on other sites More sharing options...

OrderedChaos Posted December 22, 2015 Share Posted December 22, 2015 It sounds overly complicated for what usually goes into don't starve mechanics.It could be a craftable ingredient the way the electrical doodad currently is.Or just make more god-tier items that require several doodads.I like the idea of motor boats. Let's have those but maybe they take like 4 doodads to craft or something.Also the water pump is a really good idea. It could function like the flingomatic with a range and fuel.

AnonymousKoala Posted December 22, 2015 Share Posted December 22, 2015 I would like something like this so much. Also personally I feel like jellyfish would fit more than lemons in DS haha Link to comment https://forums.kleientertainment.com/forums/topic/61146-idea-electricity/#findComment-700580 Share on other sites More sharing options...
BravePotato Posted December 22, 2015 Author Share Posted December 22, 2015 I would like something like this so much. Also personally I feel like jellyfish would fit more than lemons in DS haha Problem is. jJellyfish is plenty in the sea and very easy to catch. Personal I want to make electricity as a part of endgame content. It should be hard to make, otherwise it will be abuse and break the game balance.
