Fantastic! Could red peppers be made into some sort of weapons panicking mobs?

Hm, interesting idea. Maybe some sort of a powder bomb, that would make the mobs panic?

I mean, it sure must be horrible to inhale grinded chilli pepper... Sounds cool!

[Plebgod]

heres the thing: most of the vocal part of the community is always:"bosses are so easy" which encourages klei to add more raid types e.g moonstone, while others players that prefer to stay clear of bosses and not fighting them by themselfes got nothing new besides the cartograph table,i think we need more mechanics and more natural hazards then giants.(im fine with most regular mobs and i know how to fight bosses but its not that interesting for me)

Why, thank you! I though of inhaling the powder or getting it onto vulnerable tissue. It's horrible. A bit like SW poison, perhaps?

Summer needs new content in general. Unless we consider caves the summer content. Which I wouldn't. Like c'mon, how about some summer-only creatures, summer-only boss and maybe a new plant that needs extreme heat to grow?

The reasons why Dry season > Summer.

But we don't have SW things in vanilla. And the mod Island Adventures has a few weeks to go.

Yes, it really is. I made some taco salad for dinner the other day and I accidentally inhaled some hot sauce. I thought I was gonna die. Even after I cleared most of it out I was still coughing all night. I love the idea of weaponizing hot peppers. I know from personal experience just how much agony it can cause.

Reminds me of a mod that I almost made at some point:

Green peppers would appear in all seasons, while in summer you could get the extra useful, extra-spicy red ones.

Believe it or not I had similar idea, just with slight differences:

During spring and autumn, pepper plant would give a bell pepper - a carrot equivalent. Then the summer comes, the fruits on the bush would shrivel up and dry out, allowing to be harvested for hot peppers. Hot peppers don't rot, can be eaten to rise your temperature (an emergency temperature riser in winter) and cooked in crock pot to make food which provides immunity to being frozen for some time (good for deerclops and klaus fight). Cooking four hot peppers in crock pot would result in liquid lava soup, something which could kill if consumed. Giving it bearger is obvious thing, but if you give it to pigmen, your naughtiness would increase substantially and they would burst in flames, creating charred remains which you can then hammer for bone shards, charcoal and ash.

I think you should make this. It would be really cool to have spicy peppers. :3

Well, they kinda are summer content - you don't need flingomatics and you don't need to fight Dragonfly with 37500 HP

Yes, this should be implemented. It would make summer better, and summer wouldn't only be only about overheating and getting Ice Chester to cool down the Thermal Stones

I guess the idea is pretty logical. I wanted to do something with hot pepper but due to lack of ability with drawing, i changed my mind for a hot leaf, with the same idea of rising your temp (but if you eat the leaf raw, you lose some health). So in my case i don't know if it will be something summer exclusive, but i think that it's normal if some ideas have some resemblances

[CaptainChaotica]

The "hot pepper" that only grows...when it's _hot_...getit? sounds like a pun Klei might actually DO...
As for me..what is this "turtling at base" you speak of?  Surely when local food sources become harder/impossible to get one forages further afield?  I still move around during summer to gather supplies...or at least the ones that aren't withered yet.  Making a secondary base is also useful, and provides a change of scenery. 

Boss seasons...I kinda like this, and I think I've already experienced it myself, a bit. At least, the more extreme temperatures part. In singleplayer I've had both the Summer of Death* and the time I set the seasons on random and came back from a summer night to a WINTER morning so cold I almost insta-died. (The fact that my endothermic firepit was still lit didn't help either.) 

In general I like the idea that the seasons can have variation. Maybe not SUPER deadly, but, ya know.  Some variety.

*It was so bad I died THREE TIMES IN ONE DAY (using up both touchstones _and_ my meat effigy before noon)--even though I was using up to three or four heat-blocking things at once--couldn't go out to chop wood for fuel for my fling-o-matic without starting to deadly overheat before I chopped even one tree, and the spot between my crockpot and fridge became blocked off...by MY OWN SKELETONS.  It was probably a glitch, but if you wanna see an example of how a season can be worse than normal?  There.  There ya go.

[IDKDude]

Yes, absolutely.  Summer is already too easy when a group of competent players know what they're doing.  There just isn't much to do after that, apart from preparing for raid bosses like toad or shadow pieces.  We definitely need more forced attacks during summer.  Possibly a rattlesnake attack? It always happens at the start of night and loud hissing can be heard.  It doesn't replace hound attacks either.  The snakes are identical to SW ones but with a re-skin and 34 dmg, and mass hordes of them attack.  They can slither past tooth traps and when killed may drop a rattlesnake skin which can be made into a new carpeting.  If Players aren't near their base when the attack happens, they will find rattlesnakes curled up beside structures, making them very annoying, but still able to kill if you get stun-locked.

[Cookiemies]

Or how about a one big rattlesnake which spawns in summer like dragonfly

The only pun I can think of is Cattlesnake, but those don't sound too menacing. 

[Lumina]

I'm not sure that what the game lacks is a giant. Don't get me wrong : a summer giant could be a good thing, but a lot of people (me included) don't like giants because they are too destructive (and when you play alone or at two player, they have so much health... ).

But even without this, giant is one event during one season. Summer need more than that. A new monster with an even like frog rain ? Some sand monster and a sandstorm ?

[Rily]

I'm satisfied with almost all stuff they added, but you're right, there are some lack of danger sources. I think that for the first 2 or 4 seasons the difficulty is good, pretty balanced because depends on how the map was generate and your ability to find all the necessary resources, very random.

The problem comes with hounds and bosses, they are enough to keeps you alert, but they becomes eventually in a source of free monster meat, tooths and gems, what happened to the alternate winter?, how about a harder spring, summer or even autumn, lighting storms in spring or wind storms on winter like in shipwrecked, I'm still waiting for the changes that actually complement the game for advanced or old worlds like when the DLC were called through the ages, if you are clever enough you can be ready for all seasons since the first one and then the game never gets harder, the disease is a good mechanic but is kinda annoying instead of dangerous.

it would be neat if this plagues could spread in pigs or spiders making them stronger or more agressive, something that have the potential to be a real problem, not like a spiders infestation because with 1 or 2 friends you can clean a spider infested forest quite fast.

I have another complaint with the caves/ruins, I really love how they are now, in the same layer but there are a lack of new content, a group expedition to the ruins is the funniest thing with friends but when your ruins are clean the cave is over, the ancient guardian should respawn, everyone wants that but I want a new recipe for his horn or something cool for his fight, something that worth it, the way to the labyrinth is quite long, we always take advantage of the summer to explore it but they are not enough interesting to motivate you for expeditions without an excuse

Huh... Cow-snake? Now that sounds cool! Hey, I like that idea!

[. . .]

A cow snake/Cattlesnake boss could be cool for a summer boss, you know how when they extract snake venom from a snake they called it "milk the snake" and since this would be a cow snake you could maybe milk it when it's sleep or something & get some type of poison milk! Also, when it rattles its tail when it feels threatened the tail could make cowbell noises xD!

This makes me hyped they'll use the idea later!

[CaptainChaotica]

Oh my god, that all kind of...works.  And it's a weird amalgamation, which seems to be required for a Don't Starve giant!

I'm more on the side of new weather effects than smashy-smashy giants, though.  The fact that Dragonfly doesn't show up to set what's left of your base on fire after the wildfires, lightning (and possibly crazy Willow) are done with it is kind of a RELIEF, actually.  I don't miss that at all.

Sandstorms, blizzards, hurricanes...hey, there's already that wind mechanic in Shipwrecked sitting around!  Just sayin'.

[mochilo]

The ewecus design is awesome, and feels bad that you can't see it more often. I mean, a super rude sheep that performs flying kicks?? It can't get any better than that!! In my 350 hours played I only had the chance to find one of these, which feels like a "waste" of a super cool design and animations. As far as I know it doesn't even drop a very special item, so why is it sooo extremely rare?

Maybe it would be easier to give these a little more use before making new creatures. A kind of Samurai Ewe Gang raid could be a pretty nice change to see other than giants for a seasonal treat. I'm already scared thinking of the alert sound before they come. Some bells and bleats. Brrrrr.

IT could be based after the aztec Quetzalcoatl . Perfect for the ruins. Even the older art has a cow-like snout that works.

[Cookiemies]

From the first minute after hearing about "the new reign" i hoped that klei would add a difficult charlie boss which spawns shadows and stuff and it would be super epic. :D.

But it would have to be different from the other bosses. like idunno maybe you would use some kind of teleporter and you would teleport to the charlies castle thing from the ANR trailer.
