[Possible WIP/Idea] Survival horror mod

[goldfish911]

Alright.

I had some awesome ideas while thinking to myself, so I decided to come up with something awesome, that I may personally try to undertake, once I finish fiddling around with my Webber mod.(Art is a pain).

That aside, I have come up with some ideas, and then I will allow y'all to suggest ideas too.

So:

 

This mod will add a few "Dark Creepy Science" machines, like the Meat Grinder, Abracatastrophator, and the Doom-Magic Altar.

 Here is a list of stuff I came up with(keep in mind it is a literal spoiler, too, so be warned...kinda.:

Machines:

Meat Grinder

Abracatastrophinator

Doom-magic altar

Clockwork Cataclysmer

Meat Grinder-

Crafted with 4 Boards, 4 Morsels, 4 gold, 1 gear, and 5 dark petals.

Raises danger by 1 pt per craft.

Crafts:

Meaty Minion-

Crafted with 4 Mashed meat, 4 mashed morsels,1 Deerclops eyeball. and 1 nightmare fuel.

-will follow player

-mild sanity gain

-when at low health, will become lump of meat and tank 95% damage until health regenerates or it dies.

100 health

meats out at 30

deals 15 damage

does not eat

Flesh helmet

Crafted with 4 mashed meat, 2 mashed pgskin, and 1 nighmare fuel.

-health regen when worn

-Absorbs 1000 HP total

-will regen at a slow rate of 1% every 60 secs

-IS BREAKABLE, absorbs 85% of all damage.

Flesh Casing

Crafted with 4 mashed meat, 4 mashed morsels, 2 nightmare fuel, 2 tender tendons

Worn on body

same stats as flesh helmet, except with better regen

drains 5 sanity/min

Sinewed Fleshy Gauntlet

crafted with 4 tender Tendons, 3 mashed morsels, and 2 mashed meat

Deals XX damage(check wiki for damage values), regenerates at same rate of flesh helmet, but will drain health by 5 each time

drains 5 sanity/min

Is breakable.

Meat tree sapling

crafted with 1 pinecone, and 5 mashed meat.

Will plant a meat tree. 

Meat trees grow one meat every 7 days.

ignores winter, max of 3 meat at any time

Mashed meat-1 meat/monter meat = 1 mashed meat.(restores twice the health of cooked meat, but -15 sanity when eaten

Mashed morsel-1 morsel = 1 mashed morsel-restores twice the hunger of a cooked morsel, but 5 sanity penalty.

Tender Tendon- 1 drumstick (raw) = 2 tender tendons

 Max hunger increased by 5, 20 sanity penalty.

both will have same name, but xxxxxx

 

Suggestions by you guys that I may add:

Sacrifices at Doom-magic altar lower danger level

At some danger levels, mermfolk will spread to pig houses,or spider dens will spontaneously appear

danger levels rise over time?

Any suggestions? I intend to plan this out so it is EPIC. But I may need some help of any budding modders or artists interested,too,for reals, as I have school(as everyone else does), and would hate if the modders died(ceased to help/work) at an inopportune moment.

 

THIS IS A POSSIBLE WIP MOD. I HAD NO IDEA WHY I NAMED IT THAT WAY, BUT IT'S KINDA A MIX of a request for feedback, an announcement for a thing I will be making maybe, and a suggestion. Sooo yeah.

EDIT: I think the proper name for this thread should be [CONCEPT], not [POSSIBLE WIP/IDEA]

Ok so,

Danger level could affect the whole world on higher danger levels, and danger level would keep rising automatically after certain point.

Perhaps hard to implement but here goes.

Spider dens can grow out of ground during night. All spiders would become spider warriors, Beehives transform to killerbeehives.

Hounds would become stronger. Rabbit holes would spawn Bunnymen.

Longer dusk/night and never ending full moon. Swamp biomes could spread and "decay" pig houses to merman houses.

 

Danger level could be lowered with mass sacrifices.

Or maybe with a large food tribute.

[HoneyHam]

Oooo....

I like it a lot!!! I'll give you ideas as I think them up, if it's any help.

[NikMik]

Love it. I'd draw some pictures of what I imagine the things would look like, but all my drawing skills have left me.

The evil science machines all will raise danger  when used, so there is no need to raise it more.

Spider dens appearing out of nowhere...I dunno. The Abracatastrophinator willl be the main machine, as it gives free resources in exchange for causing evil stuff to spawn. It will work like the thulecite altar which spawns things when hammered, so I guess spider dens could work.

The never-ending full moon and longer dusk/night could be a cool idea, but I have no idea how to implement that.

Lowering the danger level...hmmm... I never thought of that, I just wanted to add more and more evil things in the world up to rapture level(where danger = 100)

But yeah. The sacrifice thing sounds awesome!

[goldfish911]

Alright! I kinda went "ham"(huhu pun) last night and wrote up a giant list of ideas. I will see if I can attach them to this post when I get to it. But any others will be appreciated!

I reallly like those ideas, especially the swamp spread and pig houses decay.

Hello again i thought up some more stuff.

Meat grinder could also be used to grind other stuff than just meat. what i was particulary thinking: dark petals into dark powder, an alternative version of nightmare fuel. Regular flower petals could be grinded into (err ummm) "the other powder and stuff" which could reset food spoiling.

Also Living armor.

- Lets say about as strong as log armor

- Durability can be restored by feeding the armor some raw meat.

- Feeding the living armor x amount of monster meat would transform it into:

(Uhh err) Bad Armor mc evil.

- Restores its own durability!

...by consuming sanity.

- Cannot be unequipped.

- Could be removed somehow. Perhaps feeding it vegetaples would damage it, and by rapid firing good old greens to it would cause it to lose all of its durability thus getting rid of it.

 

And one idea more.

Decoy Wilson. Created from meat and something something.

Attracts monsters attention, and when the enemy gets too close for comfort...

The decoy starts running away.

A perfect distraction for killerbees, for example.

 

The evil science machines all will raise danger  when used, so there is no need to raise it more.

 

Yes, let me explain little.

I was thinking that if somebody knows how the danger level works they could abuse it.

Lets say 100 danger = bad stuff. Therefore until 99 danger free stuff.

And a way to prevent it somewhat. Lets say 50 danger = danger starts rising automatically. And to balance it: the sacrifices.

 

But just wanted to clarify things no need to implement or like them.

[goldfish911]

My replies:

Swamp spread...Don't starve has no such thing as turf spread, so that would be hard for me to implement.

Go take a look at the original post, I put most of my ideas into it. The decoy might be okay, but that's what the meaty minion serves as.

The living armor is known as the flesh casing and flesh helmet.

unremovable armor...How about a monster like the slurper that latches onto your body instead?

Terribly sorry for the redundancy i didnt notice your update/s.

Yes monster that would attach to bodyslot would be pretty cool honestly.

No prob, they probably weren't there yet. The bodyslot thing sounds too unoriginal. also, like the slurper, it would probably only attach when no armor or anything is on, but people always wear backpacks/hats/armor. Although someone could be caught unawares.

[KidneyBeanBoy]

I also have a suggestion: The goggles of ethersight should give every mob nightmare fuel puppetstrings dangling from the sky as a sign of 'them' controlling the world around you.

[goldfish911]

Well then, the quotes don't seem that bad! I may even use them if I manage to get to making this mod! However, the puppetstring thing is beyond my capability to create. Any other ideas?
