9wpuv Posted May 1, 2014 Share Posted May 1, 2014 Yeah so one new "character" which could be just a generic black silhouette. Or a checkbox. Just gives you a random character. Could be "persistent" so after you teleportato you automatically get a new random character instead of choosing one. Or at least the option to do so. "Random" world preset. Every option is random. Tricky, because you start a world and don't know "how" it is random. Also, could be "persistent", so after teleportato it gets scrambled again... you get the picture. I don't know how people play the game, sometimes i rush the teleportato... as many times in a row as possible. So random char + world every time sounds like a fun time to me Keeps you on your toes. EDIT : Although if you get a different char than the last one I don't know how you would explain your inventory and recipes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
InaneDugong Posted May 2, 2014 Share Posted May 2, 2014 Cool idea, no draw-backs what so ever (if we ignore the generation process after every save-load - that part I'm not sure about and would be a lot harder to implement). Approved. +1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lonestarr01 Posted May 2, 2014 Share Posted May 2, 2014 I'd really like this option. Perhaps make a preset called random, where every option would be randomly set Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

9wpuv Posted May 2, 2014 Author Share Posted May 2, 2014 As it stands, day 7 teleportato is kinda hard to pull off consistent, for me at least, but doable. Right now I think the biggest decision is first world day 2-ish divining rod or not. That's kinda your biggest decision. Random worlds would bring a hefty new dimension to the whole teleportato rush thing. On a side note, starting so many default worlds for teleportato rush, sometimes you stop for a second and say, you know, this is a really, really awesome/interesting world gen. I'm gonna keep this world. That's always nice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frobro Posted May 3, 2014 Share Posted May 3, 2014 It would be great to basically have a new world set up each time you use the teleportato. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frobro Posted May 3, 2014 Share Posted May 3, 2014 what do you mean by new world set up? like, the modifiers? day length, starting seaon, carrots, that kind of thing? Yeah. The same modifiers you would get when starting a new world and the option for it to be random/default. Whatever fits your play style. I believe the current way is that once you use the teleportato everything is set to default. Meaning if you dont like summer and choose a map with no summer, when you teleportato you are now forced to play summer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

XirmiX Posted May 3, 2014 Share Posted May 3, 2014 Okay, I'll be serious now. Putting more options at random would be kind of daft. What we need is to have options like for example to start in Summer or Winter just like we have Autumn or Spring because in case you want a totally hard option yet you would have to decide between Winter or Summer start so if game chooses this for you would be more interresting.

I have absolutely nothing against more fine tuned options inside the world screen. Heck, it would be awesome. HECK, I would randomize them by hand. As long as it appears after teleportato. Or an option to enter it, so it doesn't get in your face, if that would be a problem. As I saw it and as @InaneDugong said, there are no drawbacks. If you don't want it you don't use it. Like some people never use lights out or used it just one time to see how it was. If there were alot of people wanting at least part of this, like you, more options, like me, random option etc. maybe it would happen, or we could find a middle ground if a solution for all of us wouldn't be possible/feasible. But as it stands this idea doesn't get any love. Sadness. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Madman666 Posted May 5, 2014 Share Posted May 5, 2014 I actually tried suggesting "world gen menu for Teleportato" thing around when I just bought Don't Starve a played a bit. Even before the Caves were implemented I think. And I'am sure I wasn't first to, but sadly I didn't succeed. I still support the idea very much though, it'd be nice not having to create new world and start from absolute nothing to get a more challenging world to prove you can do it or less hostile one to relax a bit.

Arigatex Posted May 6, 2014 Share Posted May 6, 2014 Sounds like a great idea (as long as its optional). How you guys feel about a weekly challenge system built into the game? Things like this keep the game fresh and people interested. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UnderwearApp Posted May 8, 2014 Share Posted May 8, 2014 Personally, I would most like to see a random season length implemented. This way you wouldn't know that at dawn of day 21, the season will switch. You would just have to pay attention to the warm/cold or use a thermal measurer.
