[Suggestion] feet/legs slot items?

[Ginosaji]

why isn't this a thing yet? we're getting reskins for shoes now in DST, so how about feet/legs clothing items in sw?

 

I think I'm not the only one who believes that its awkward that we can stomp through fully flooded islands and keep our self dry by simply equipping a double umbrella hat, which magically protects the player from receiving wetness in almost all situations. why would a hat clothing item protect the player character from getting wet while we're stomping through knee high water due to a fully flooded island?

 

I think rubber boots should become a thing to counter wetness by stomping through water from the moving in tide at nights and the flooded islands during the new monsoon season. rubber boots could also protect the player from wetness while on a boat that has been heavily damaged and would fill up with ocean water.

 

the new body slot would also be beneficial for new insulating clothing items, like sandals for summer and winter boots in winter. we could also have armor which protects more efficiently against mobs like spiders or snakes which more likely bite at legs height while bees, merms or ranged projectiles from enemies attack more the chest or head area of the player.

 

I know that this addition would require a rebalance on clothing insulation and the calculation of damage protection on now 3 equipment slots. I'm also aware that klei wants to keep the game as consistent as possible to the base game for the future sw to rog integration, but maybe rog would benefit from such changes too?

the rog spring also has water puddles randomly spread across the world, if they would get the wetness mechanic from sw, rubber boots would also fit into rog and so do the other seasonal feet items.
