Most discussed player suggestions and wishlist


Recommended Posts

I've started to put together a list of subjects and objects that forum users seem to have made a decision or formed an expectation on and listed them below, with references where possible.  Note: I may have missed a few, these are threads I personally read and participated in somehow.  Feel free to toss more to the list, I'll look it up and groom it if it turns out to be useful for devs to take a quick look at what's going on and what should be discussed next for future changes.

UPDATED Warly Balancing: Just like the rest of the new characters, while their basic design is great, they leave something to be desired in the gameplay area.  Following Build 167804, Warly received a bigger pouch, additional exclusive recipes, greater disgust at unprepared food and a want for variety.  Following are threads discussing (post patch) his current state.

- UPDATED Walani Balancing: Walani is a new character introduced with the new Shipwrecked DLC.  She's a surfer at heart, or is she?  Player suggestions were seemingly well received by Capy and positive changes rolled out for this character with Build 167804.  Discussions since this release resulted in linked references.

- Underwater Caves: An older discussion regarding the equivalent of Vanilla caves in SW.  Some recommend a simple hack, others want a more complete experience.  Lots of threads as references, newest first. No updates since Build 167804.

- Floating Base: Other game modes allow you to utilize any area for your next base, regardless of how hostile it is.  It's no surprise that players suggested the same would be possible on water, softly cradling you to sleep. No updates since Build 167804.

- Yaarctopus:  Poor lad needs urgent intervention, vast majority seem to share a view that there's something fundamentally wrong / missing with him and needs a good hard look. No updates since Build 167804.

Underwater Caves have a lot more before, but now less people talk about them.

Thanks for the link will add it when I'm back home since editing on mobile doesn't seem to work well. Will give it a read in the meantime :)

im not able to find links to the various threads ATM, but i've seen a lot of talk asking for changes/improvements to sea combat.

Thanks for the reminder, updated original and included various relevant links.

Would be great if specific suggestions were opened up in their separate thread, than having collective suggestions all in one post, since it's harder to come to a common conclusion on all topics, but much easier to refine a specific topic and conclude it :p

Thanks for the help, it looks less creepy if I'm not the only one keeping it afloat :p

The goal of the topic is to not only highlight suggestions for Klei / Capy but to also back them up with references as to where players' preferences lie.  Frankly I'm sure they have something similar going on, on their end, however if we can keep a player-groomed section of topics it just might prove to be a useful redundancy!

Edit:  Walani balance added, tons of references included.

another element that (i think) still needs some work is flooding, specifically how sandbags work with flooding.  I think the addition of the flooring stopping flooding was very good but dropping a single sand bag in the middle of a puddle to stop it from spreading just doesn't make any sense.  

a good thread with ideas:

am i invisible? :D noone sees my suggestions :-(

Looked briefly through your profile but couldn't spot any threads opened with suggestions, feel free to refer me to them as a reply.

Also keep in mind I'm only collecting commonly discussed topics that multiple members have showed interest / concern about.

Any new suggestions should be given some time to be made popular, and ideally have their own unique thread discussing that unqiue topic individually.

The final goal is to provide devs with a series of hot topics being discussed with quality AND quantity.

Wasn't there also multiple topics about floatting plateforms on which we would be able to build stuff on ?

Correct - added entire section with several links.

I'd like to nominate this Warly rebalance discussion for inclusion on your list.

I'll be searching for some additional Warly discussions, only found 2 thus dedicated threads so far, hopefully there will be more cropping up, and referencing specific posts in a global thread is quite honestly a big pain!

That's such a good idea! I would love to have a small spring base in the middle of the ocean. Screw you, mosquitos! :D I can't find a link to that thread at the moment though.
