SirBuizelton Posted December 21, 2015 Share Posted December 21, 2015 So! I saw a fair amount of people sharing their feelings that gold was a bit too sparse for their liking (Having trouble finding volcanic islands, gold rocks without having the gold stolen by monkeys, not enough dubloons dropped frequently by parrots, etc.) So a small thing that could potentially help out with this would be a cheap metal detector item you can use on sand biome beaches to scrounge up some extra dubloons primarily, gold nuggets on very very rare occasions, maybe even some extra special loot! Maybe you could use it to scan sandy piles in particular, and if it beeps, digging it will give you extra loot than just the sand? Not entirely sure how it should work yet but I like the idea of using it on sandy piles. I tend to just ignore those things for 90% of the game. You could possibly even attach it to your boat's torch slot and it could help you trawl net faster/more effectively/get even better loot by following the beeps! Could help to take some of the tedium out of it. But I am interested in people's thoughts on this idea! Yes, no, maybe it should work differently?

Deathsent Posted December 21, 2015 Share Posted December 21, 2015 I like the idea and it would fit with the theme of shipwrecked. Dubloons are too scarce.

I just think it'd be cool if we had a more deliberate way of getting dubloons because right now it just feels like something we have to hope gets thrown at us from time to time and sometimes I end up with a whole stack of it in a year, other times I just have like 12 on day 150 and I'm like Link to comment https://forums.kleientertainment.com/forums/topic/61170-metal-detectors/#findComment-700265 Share on other sites More sharing options...

DuckBoy Posted December 22, 2015 Share Posted December 22, 2015 I figured the divining rod would have to be replaced by a metal detector some day. I was hoping it would divine the crossbones treasures, but if it also worked on sand to make dubloons 1/20 times, I wouldn't be sad about it.

PauloDDD Posted December 22, 2015 Share Posted December 22, 2015 I agree that gold is very scarce in SW. In vanilla and RoG the pig king can throw tons of gold at you from meat (with a nice sound, btw). No pig king on the map? Just dive into caves. But, in SW, trinket are more hard to find and give much less gold dubloon. Once a day. Would be nice if there was a secure method for gather gold in SW. Metal detector is a thing. Maybe change the recipe of the gold nugget to one dubloon + bone shard (alchemy reference, btw)?

Mday Posted December 22, 2015 Share Posted December 22, 2015 In the long run, limit on gold= limit on log= limit on repairkit and other player build structure= less stuff to do and IDE for nothing.

t0panka Posted December 22, 2015 Share Posted December 22, 2015 All i hear again "make it easy Klei PLZ"- dubloons from pirate parot, yaarctopus, treasure chests, trawl nets so there are TOO MUCH ways to get them just GO DO IT- there is no limit on gold or logs ... what are you even talking about @Mday, gold from gold rocks, magma biome, treasure chests, dubloons, slot machine so again there are TOO MUCH ways to get them just GO DO IT- this is not vanilla so go play accordingly @PauloDDD, also SW pig king = Yaarctopus- dubloon press is way too easy @Mday- see above how many ways are to get dubloons so you can get tons of them jsut go do it @SirBuizelton, Metal detector idea + sand piles is really good but it should give you gold/dubloon with 1% chance!!! Like in real life (since you always comparing) One thing should be changed tho ... infinite treasure chests and make some of them really bad and some of them even better and also time to time you can find BIG treasure? Maybe scale chest with more awesome stuff! Link to comment https://forums.kleientertainment.com/forums/topic/61170-metal-detectors/#findComment-700488 Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like this idea but the problem is the x marks the spot crossbones treasures only spawn after you've read a message in a bottle. They aren't actually just sitting out there.

PhelsarusBeel Posted December 22, 2015 Share Posted December 22, 2015 While i really like the idea i think it should not give you exclusive acces to Gold and DUbloons. Maybe instead digging up the marked piles can drop one of the following items -Scrapmetal (Common): A semi trashdrop that can be refined into actual metal for the use in different crafting recipes (maybe alternate versions of the Basetools so you can't run out of flint)- Trinkets (Uncommon) mostly so there is a way to get some more of them (wouldn't be to OP since you still need to find Yaarctopus to trape them)- Gears (Rare) Mostly to solve the earlygame gear issues (and iirc there was already a mention of them washing up on beaches so that's a good idea to implement that)- Goldnugget (Rare) Just as said- Dubloon (Very Rare) mostly because you can use Dubloons for other thing but gold like the SLotmachine what can be huge if you got a good stash of Dubloons. But that's just my 2 Cents. Link to comment https://forums.kleientertainment.com/forums/topic/61170-metal-detectors/#findComment-700684 Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree, yeah! I probably should've made it more clear that while doubloons and gold are something you can get from it (uncommonly, but yeah) trinkets, gears, etc are also things that can be found. I really love the treasure hunting theme of the game, so I just think it'd be cool for this to be another way to expand on it that is more reliable than hoping you run into a message in a bottle and stuff like that ^^ Link to comment https://forums.kleientertainment.com/forums/topic/61170-metal-detectors/#findComment-700707 Share on other sites More sharing options...
