Lutzkhie Posted February 10, 2018 Share Posted February 10, 2018 would you agree with me that dupes should swim instead of making ladder underwater because honestly, only spongebob needs a ladder under the sea look at frankie, having fun swimming, only thing missing are fishes Link to comment https://forums.kleientertainment.com/forums/topic/87384-agree-or-not/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhailRaptor Posted February 10, 2018 Share Posted February 10, 2018 This would also make the "Amphibious" trait relevant. Link to comment https://forums.kleientertainment.com/forums/topic/87384-agree-or-not/#findComment-1002171 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ricordis Posted February 10, 2018 Share Posted February 10, 2018 I am fine with the fact Dupes can't swim. But I am also fine if swimming would be added provided there are some backdraws like...ehm...if carrying too much they drop to the floor or swimming is a trait or gets unlocked if athletics are 5+ or...whatever.

Coolthulhu Posted February 10, 2018 Share Posted February 10, 2018 Sounds like pathfinding hell. Dupes have problems pathfinding around a 2D grid, imagine adding variable swimming speeds, inability to reach surface air if there is a thin layer of water on polluted water, dupes choosing to swim and take morale hit over walking around etc. Link to comment https://forums.kleientertainment.com/forums/topic/87384-agree-or-not/#findComment-1002182 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lutzkhie Posted February 10, 2018 Author Share Posted February 10, 2018 Just now, PhailRaptor said: This would also make the "Amphibious" trait relevant. yes but apparently they removed that trait Just now, Ricordis said: swimming is a trait or gets unlocked if athletics are 5+ thats an idea right there Just now, Coolthulhu said: Sounds like pathfinding hell. Dupes have problems pathfinding around a 2D grid, imagine adding variable swimming speeds, inability to reach surface air if there is a thin layer of water on polluted water, dupes choosing to swim and take morale hit over walking around etc. now thats a challenge for the devs if they can make it work plus this is why its in early access to add something new in the game to make it better Link to comment https://forums.kleientertainment.com/forums/topic/87384-agree-or-not/#findComment-1002187 Share on other sites More sharing options...
tHe_silent_H Posted February 10, 2018 Share Posted February 10, 2018 I can just imagine them attempting to swim through lava Link to comment https://forums.kleientertainment.com/forums/topic/87384-agree-or-not/#findComment-1002188 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arash70 Posted February 10, 2018 Share Posted February 10, 2018 Not, that is against the game's basic mechanics, and they would have hypothermia anyways.

Le0n1des Posted February 10, 2018 Share Posted February 10, 2018 Aqualungs could be added to enable swimming, which would also simplify the issue with reaching for air Link to comment https://forums.kleientertainment.com/forums/topic/87384-agree-or-not/#findComment-1002197 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kasuha Posted February 10, 2018 Share Posted February 10, 2018 Taking into account everything the game is about, wacky water physics, water mountains and staircases, the fact that there's not quite that much water in the map and how much development time it would require, I think my opinion is that it's intriguiging but not worth the effort.

dinosaur1831 Posted February 10, 2018 Share Posted February 10, 2018 Yes, but only if it could be done in an instant and be reasonably problem free. Otherwise, I'd prefer they spend their development time on more important things to me (like proper stairs for instance).

Maciej75 Posted February 10, 2018 Share Posted February 10, 2018 My platforms for jumping inside crude oil deposit looked awful. I was wondering if this could be replaced by swimming, so I support this idea. Pathfinding should not be more complicated, then pathfinding ("Show navigation") of Lighbug that "swims" in the air.
