Healfree Posted March 6, 2016 Share Posted March 6, 2016 Hey there, I just wanted to add a really interesting idea which makes each season even more unique and new to its previous one and more enjoyable with new experience/encounter to the current survivors . 1st of all this might seems to be "make things just harder" but trust me its really not , It will just make killing spiders more rewarding but the cost is making spiders a slightly little bit more challenging and fun to encounter , so here is the idea : On a logical way spiders are insects and all insects have their own code of " Consume and Adapt " so the spiders need to adapt to every season just like how the players and the characters try to adapt to it by gathering / making the stuff that each season needs in order to survive it so bare with me this might be little bit detailed but its just roughly ideas crossed my mind . OK, lets start with each season shall we ? before I start don't take the logic really seriously of course after all it is still a fantasy game :P. Autumn : - It's the 1st season in the game so I'd rather keep the spiders on their original form for really obvious many reasons . Winter - Frost spiders : - Visual / logic wise : Spiders physics evolve with a thick layered skins of ice due to the harshly cold climate changing their original color to blue with little bit icy textures . - Game wise : Due to their thick skin they take less damage from players lets say 50% damage reduction ( just roughly idea ) and each attack they do reduce your body temperature by a really tiny amount , more health ? maybe yes maybe not . - Extra reward : addition to the normal spider drop they drop an extra single ice with the drop , 50% or 100% chance ? need tweak Spring - Fungus spiders : - Visual / logic wise : due to the extremely wet and dirty environment it becomes more poisonous which makes fungus grow everywhere even in their dirty wet skins changing their original color to yellow with fungus textures . - Game wise : due to their poisonous state each hit they land on player reduce the sanity by a tiny amount and when they die their poisonous fungus explode dealing double the normal spider damage to adjacent creature even their own ( damage need tweak ). - Extra reward : well its obvious they have mushrooms on their heads so they have a chance of dropping an extra intact mushroom by 50% chance ( need tweak ) along side the original spider drops Summer - Searing spiders : - Visual / logic wise : Summer extreme heat made them fire resistant with time they became fire inhabitants with new born abilities , their skin change to red color . - Game wise : Their new born abilities make them spit fire to players ( range attack obviously ) with the same normal spider damage and each landed hit by the spider raises the temperature of the player by a small amount . - Extra reward : This might be little hard to decide , I thought dropping extra charcoal along with the original spider drops but would you really need charcoal in summer since most of stuff is burning around you ? other useful stuff lets say "Nitre" might don't make any sense in here but who knows still need lot of tweaking and suggestions . So the real question is, do all spiders evolve ? well logically it's not I might think half of the spiders or the evolved spiders might be rare spiders and do these evolved spiders emerge from all tiers of spider's den or just the tier3 ? this is really an open up discussion I'm happy to hear suggestions in this topic if you have the time and the interest . That's about it for now if you guys really like this idea I might bring even more ideas similar to this to make seasons more unique and much different to each other and of course the ideas won't be just about the creatures/enemies it might also include the resources changes in each season just how the cactus give extra flower loot in summer that's a pretty cool idea .

BeastNips Posted March 11, 2016 Share Posted March 11, 2016 Not sure about the base game but it sounds like a fantastic mod! I'd definitely give it a try.
