Some Suggestions

[MusicMayhem]

First of all, can we add some emotion to those little duplicates? I was thinking that when they lack something- such as hunger- make them move slower and work less effectively (May already be implemented). Stressed duplicates should have a different stature; perhaps they should slouch or refuse to take orders that involve work if they are too stressed.

When duplicates are idle they could perhaps sit on the floor or do something funny, or weird when they are not doing anything.

Nitrogen --> Nitrates? Nutrients for plants to boost growth? Or a way to obtain Ammonia for fertiliser?

New characteristics?

-Sleep walker

(Also for a new feature, if duplicates are too stressed they may start disturbing the sleep of others which would be annoying and would need to be maintained)

-Warm blooded

-Cold blooded

-Energetic (would only take into effect at specific times)

 

Also, with those strange instances where they are suffocating, could that be refined and looked into? It's a bit odd sometimes when their head is in rock because of the sequence of their mining.

 

Keep breathing!

Omg yes, would love to see them doing idle animations like sitting down, perhaps whistling, cleaning their nose, scratching their head-thinking what they should be doing, doing exercise.

Yeah, to add to the idle suggestion,

 

Idle dupes should not stay immobile when in uncomfortable area.

They should:

- Seek enjoyable location (high decor ?)

- Talk to other dupes (maybe some form of slight stress relief)

- Rejuvenate / heal themselves if injured or sick

- Do things they like (stress relief)

 

Ultimately, I just don't want my dupes getting idle in my enclosed barely breathable polluted dirt container room.

Or splashing in the polluted water.

I like that idea! I think the idea of building a space colony is to gather a community of duplicates and one way of expressing that is by chatting. Also, maybe when they are sitting down eating they could do another animation through interacting with each other.

 

Also another idea-

Fighting with other duplicates would make the medical bed more useful if that was a stress factor.
