Skybox Posted January 13, 2018 Share Posted January 13, 2018 The razor, right now, has a very specific role: Shave Wilson, Webber, and Beefalo. I think it would be interesting, and not horribly broken, if it could become an equippable tool with around 20-40 uses that would reduce harvesting time on tall grass, berries, twigs, and similar. I think this makes sense from both an in-game and realistic point of view. A razor would make it easier to cut through grass and sticks making harvesting easier and faster, and its durability loss could be explained by the razor losing its edge. Perhaps the recipe might need a tweak to reflect the new uses, but I think it would be an interesting change without disrupting the core gameplay of don't starve. This could be extended even further, perhaps Maxwell could receive a harvester puppet craft-able with 2 nightmare fuel and a razor. The puppet could be made to instantly drop the harvested item on the ground, or hold onto it and give it to maxwell automatically when it does not see anything to harvest. Anyway, thought it was an interesting idea, wanted to share. Have a nice day! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Raspberry Shake Posted January 13, 2018 Share Posted January 13, 2018 ... I just think everyone should grow hair / beards ( apart from WX ), and you can shave off as much as you want. Imagine that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, great idea, let's just casually ruin anything Wilson has going for him besides a lack of downsides Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No. there's just no point in giving everyone beard/hair mechanics, it has been a staple for wilson ever since he was first released. editing it or replacing it with another upside while giving everyone that beard advantage and insulation would get a lot more people angry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Loopy Ouroboros Posted January 13, 2018 Share Posted January 13, 2018 Hmm, now that's a thoughtful use for such a currently niche tool. Though, I'm not really impatient enough harvesting grasses, berries, and twigs to desire a limited-use tool to speed that up to my benefit. Also, it wouldn't be very consistent to have it shave an indefinte amount of beards and beefalo, yet can only gather so much grass that can be otherwise easily obtained without it. Still, it might as well make it worthwhile to always carry one, especially for big grass and twig farms. Would help with razor clutter, too, as they obviously don't have durability and last indefinitely because of it. Perhaps the durability could also be exceptionally higher than you suggested, so that those who would otherwise shave huge amounts of beefalo wool won't suffer from this too much. Razors are cheap anyway, so why not? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
minespatch Posted January 14, 2018 Share Posted January 14, 2018 I don't think it applies to females though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sinister_Fang Posted January 14, 2018 Share Posted January 14, 2018 Wouldn't it make more sense to just make an actual harvesting tool like a scythe or sickle instead? Last I checked people don't harvest crops with tools meant for cutting hair. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
