Phantasmanomicron Posted February 13, 2017 Share Posted February 13, 2017 Hey everybody, Lets talk about our ideas for creatures! Creatures that clog pipes! Creatures that sneak into the fridge! Creatures that scatter the items from storage units! Creatures that make "art" with "contaminated soil" that increases stress... P.S. I love my kids...

Developer ImDaMisterL Posted February 13, 2017 Developer Share Posted February 13, 2017 Imagine, dupes will be able to make art, so creatures that ruin said arts! Thing is, how would you get rid of said creatures? I heard the game wasn't going to focus at all in combat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phantasmanomicron Posted February 13, 2017 Author Share Posted February 13, 2017 Good Question! hrm... you could keep them out with air locks... or make it so that they can't reach too high by making them effected by buoyancy and make them weigh more than CO2?

Developer ImDaMisterL Posted February 13, 2017 Developer Share Posted February 13, 2017 Oh man, this weight thing actually sounds interesting. What if you could harness helium to make both creatures and dupes alike float like balloons? Maybe it wouldn't be extremely useful, but it would sure be funny!

Phantasmanomicron Posted February 13, 2017 Author Share Posted February 13, 2017 If they add helium to the game I will be extremely disappointed if the dupes don't inhale it and talk funny for stress relief. *thread totally derailed* Right... creature ideas?

Developer ImDaMisterL Posted February 13, 2017 Developer Share Posted February 13, 2017 Hmm, I was imagining some sort of small alien creatures, by the size of dolls, but how they could look like beats me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Donke60 Posted February 13, 2017 Share Posted February 13, 2017 I imagine electrical minions so you can use them as batteries or if they are hostile they sap your energy away and you can docile them by putting them in a plastic ball Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mobbstar Posted February 13, 2017 Share Posted February 13, 2017 How about little glowy worms that fall from the ceiling and burrow themselves in the duplicants' heads in order to control their movement. Not quite shadow creatures driving your minions insane, but it'll do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DNsingbanana Posted February 13, 2017 Share Posted February 13, 2017 They said it would not focus on combat, but there will still be some, you can already attack creatures in this game. morphers that take the appearance of a duplicant but would be easily noticeable at bedtime, don't think the game would be a good host for that. Burrowers that catch a duplicant with their tongue when they pass by. So you have to atleast dig far away by pairs to have one to help. Metal-eating creatures that will go and eat your various pipes.

Developer ImDaMisterL Posted February 13, 2017 Developer Share Posted February 13, 2017 Why do I keep imagining plant aliens that'll slowly overgrow your base and make everything malfunction if it's not eliminated properly? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or creatures that produce corrosive gases? You could try burning the gases at the cost of having to remove all duplicants and losing flammable things. 3 minutes ago, ImDaMisterL said: Why do I keep imagining plant aliens that'll slowly overgrow your base and make everything malfunction if it's not eliminated properly? Creepy invaders sound more like what this game is about EDIT: In hindsight, that sounds like I'd want to see the Zerg rush in. *shudder* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This reminds me of that movie where the astronaut ends up in an alien planet (Planet 51 was the name, I think), the aliens had literally "Alien" alien dogs!

deadgag Posted February 14, 2017 Share Posted February 14, 2017 I think some kind of bug or worm would be interesting, which could eat metal or feed from electricity and if you don't be careful they could infest your base... I don't know some kind of space lice? So if you walk around some biome these lices could stick to the dupes... They would need to be cleaned before entering base to avoid a possible infestation... I just don't imagine a combat system against it, you'll just need some profilaxy and a system to contain them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
