Vargling Posted November 13, 2016 Share Posted November 13, 2016 Light Shafts in the Caves would be holes on the overworld, in the same shape. These matching ones would be linked. Rain: When it rains, it will rain through the light shafts ONLY. When the rain has reached a point that an unprotected player would have 100 Wetness, the caves will start leaking through. When the rain ends, it will be the period of time that a player would go back to 0 from 100 that it still leaks, but the shafts don't rain, naturally. Then the caves would stop leaking too. Weaponry and convenience: People would be able to throw and put things in the holes, and they would fall down in the Light Shafts. If they hit a player, it would be equal to a hit in an earthquake. This would be especially cool if combined with things like Throwable spears, or Coconades. Earthquakes: I'm not exactly sure how these would be linked, but potentially when a giant is stomping around there could be an earthquake in the caves. Enemies: Dumb enemies would be able to fall in the holes (spiders, 'doydoys', volt goats, etc.) Perhaps some enemies could actually use the holes for their attacks. For example, Krampus could dump stuff in them, or another boss could throw rocks and things down, especially if something or someone is there. If it is possible, perhaps the holes could actually show what is down there in the day. Like, if a base is there you'd clearly see it and the people roaming around. But that would be pretty crazy.

That would actually be rather awesome.

If you could see down it too, you could cooperate. Friend is in the caves and needs some stuff? Throw it at his face.

I suppose the chat already handles that (you hear it across shards), but yeah, that's rather cute .I don't think we should be able to peek inside, first due to the isometric style of the game and secondly because of balance explained by how you don't exactly see that deep down.

Yep, but it is designed so that no two holes would be the same shape, so you could cooperate easily. Build a base around the hole, and a base around the light shaft. You can simply just throw stuff between.

The whole deal with bases near caves is batilisk spawning all the time. Traps don't work on them, pigs sleep at dusk, bunnymen are vegan bastards attacking anyone not of their ilk and are a no-no with Webber.

It's not like you have to camp at the hole.
