Feature Suggestion

This post will contain a list of suggestions I got from the community (either for the mod itself or the original game) and decided to add to the mod. A source and user will be provided so people know who suggested it and where did they do it.

Each comment will contain a single suggestion as it makes it easier.

ATTENTION

The suggestion will be presented as it was and I will add how I see it implemented. This does not mean it will actually be added to the mod exactly as described, it just means that I have an idea how to add it and have intentions to do so.

ALL SUGGESTIONS HAVE THE ORIGINAL PICTURE, SOME OF MY COMMENTS ON THE PICTURE WERE WHAT I WAS THINKING AT THE TIME, MAY NOT REFLECT WHAT I DECIDED TO DO

Gadget Scrapper

Initially Suggested by: TheFireDragon#9993 (317279640354029569) Suggested on: SR Discord Original Suggestion: https://imgur.com/z2wHzRy

What will this feature do?

This will be one of the upgrades for the Ranch, the mod adds the ability for you to buy upgrades for the Ranch as you do for the Vacpack.

The gadget scrapper will be an upgrade that you buy and gets added to the Science Lab. It will allow you to scrap the gadgets you no longer use.

You will get the resources back either directly into the Refinery, in a crate or spawned like a Drill does.

Ash Trough Barrier

Initially Suggested by: squishy#2553 (217444443731656704) Suggested on: SR Discord Original Suggestion: https://imgur.com/zjFdhlF

What will this feature do?

There will be an upgrade for the Ash Trough that will allow the player to add a Barrier similar to the one from the Corrals to the Ash Trough (Incinerator), this way fire slimes will stay inside without a chance to fall out.

IRicTheCoder commented 4 years ago

Free Range Upgrade

Initially Suggested by: Loh Boi#0818 (301772753470750720) Suggested on: SR Discord Original Suggestion: https://imgur.com/Gxq9jAK

What will this feature do?

An upgrade for the Ranch will exist to create barriers that prevent free ranges slimes from leaving the areas or falling into the sea. After buying the upgrade some barriers will be added to the ranch and will prevent slimes from exiting unless thrown by the player.

Ornaments Slimepedia Entry

Initially Suggested by: TheFireDragon#9993 (317279640354029569) Suggested on: SR Discord Original Suggestion: https://imgur.com/Eix5uDH

What will this feature do?

This feature is already planned for the game if is wasn't added yet. But what I take from this one is for the SlimeDex, as the Dex will have a deeper preview of the ornaments and also work as a "Collection" where you can see the ones you already have and the ones you need to find.

Toy functions & Ash Trough Cap Upgrade

Initially Suggested by: purplecharmanderz#6693 (207766780448473088) Suggested on: SR Discord Original Suggestion: https://imgur.com/65wnXnt

What will this feature do?

More functions to toys will be added similar to the Rubber Duck and Mud Ball. Related to the charcoal brick, the current idea will not be implemented right now, this is because the charcoal brick will play an important role in the coexistance of the Fire Slime and it's Mutation that will come in chapter 3, inside the Ash Trough.

But the idea for the Capacity getting increase is also nice, so an Upgrade for a Cap Increase will be added to the Ash Trough.

Anti Tarr Gadget

Initially Suggested by: "veesus mikel heir" DanieI#9746 (283914317567492096) Suggested on: SR Discord Original Suggestion: https://imgur.com/d2ioRSr

What will this feature do?

This feature will work mostly with Mattie, as a reward from one of her quests the player will receive a blueprint for a Gadget that can prevent tarrs from being created in the zones the gadget exists in.

The gadget might require something to stay active but nothing is planned so far.

Toybox Upgrade

Initially Suggested by: BackLog#3770 (226849680632315926) Suggested on: SR Discord Original Suggestion: https://imgur.com/hrYnA73

What will this feature do?

A Ranch upgrade that will add a toybox just as described to the Ranch. This upgrade will also add a new Chip to the Vacpack that allows you to actually vac toys instead of just carry them around like largos.

But just like when vaccing largos they will occupy more space, so a toy will not occupy the same as a single slime or a single buzz wax for example.

Tiki Torches, More Deco's & Decoration Variations

Initially Suggested by: Mazel Tov Cocktail#9054 (293964820557070336) Suggested on: SR Discord Original Suggestion: https://imgur.com/xYWUmbm

What will this feature do?

I think the Tiki Torch that we see around is a nice thing to have to place, so that decor will be added. This also made me think that we could have a system to cycle through possible variations of a single decoration, for those that make sense.

So a system for changing between possible variations will also be implemented along side this decor and new ones.

The amount that can be stored is around 2 billions (coding limitation), however, no specific data is saves, fashion pods and other things that are or can be persistent will not be saved, so the object being taken off will be the default version of that object.
