Any ideas for what I could add, change, or balance?

since i play as floran I'd like to see some kind of vine snare bomb. the idea is that it would be a throwable that sets a vinelike texture on the top of blocks (like the grass and flowery grass) and puts a slow effect on hostile creatures. it could also put some form of "trapped" effect on creatures it hits directly. puting a vine-like texture on them for a short duration (flying things would have a plumiting effect until 1: they hit the ground or 2: the duration runs out and they "break free" from the vines. the block texture and slow effect could last twice as long as the trapped effect and texture (slow would last 20-30 seconds and the trapped would be 10-15 seconds). I am talking about a trap using vines after all. just an idea.

Dang. That sounds pretty cool.
I might be able to make the vine texture as a particle effect somehow?
Kinda like how the electrified status has particles.
And for the slow I can just make a new version of SlimeSlow..
Though.. I'm not sure I can make flying creatures plummet.. I hope I can..
I'll see what I can do. Might be a few updates later that I get around to it. But I'll definetly try.

I'd like to see some doomlord themed tier 6 broadsword weapon for the glitch

flashbangs would be nice!

@Rude
A flashbang for the Humans?
Okay..? How would that work? .-. Like.. What kind of status would it give?
Just.. Honestly curious. I'll try and add it if I have an idea of what it would do.

For that greatsword you mentioned in the comments,i suggest trying to make a starbound version of one of the sword combos from Dark Souls

Yeeeeah.. That's actually pretty hard to program.. Gotta get all the positions set for each part of the swing..
I did try making a custom sword combo for it though. All I did was try and make the pause longer between swings, to make it seem heavier. But.. I couldn't get it to work.

Vioium Katana Maybe?

Since I feel like the avians are basicly egyptian I think a khopesh (in the avian stile) would be pirfect for them (wuickly web sirch it if you dont know the weapon by name). its special move could give the player some kind of flight attack. Also it would be cool to see the flashbang mentioned above stun hostile mobs and cause dammage if they get it with the bomb at close range (i guess the dammage could be explained as simular to looking at a cammeras flash and having a gun go off next to your ear at the same time). As for the Katana lets make that a hylotl weapon (because they are inspired by japan?) and it could have the same special attack as the vioium sword but with slightly improved stats (not sure how to explain the attack). Only expanding on what I thaught needed more explaining (excption the khopesh). Keep being a great mod dev and dont feel obligated to add anything that you dont wan't to.

I'd like to see more for the Hyotl. Perhaps a craftable bow with piercing arrows, or a shortsword. Maybe try for a simple hand-guard-less longsword with an early dashing ability.

Dang, some simple but good ideas. Thanks, I'll try and do something with them eventually. Been pretty bust with life stuff, but I don't forget about my projects.
Alfons 22 Nov, 2017 @ 12:12pm 
just message me if you need more ideas. :)
Thanks for making this mod man, just some little details really help make this game that much more replayable.

As a proud Florian myself, it would be cool to see some melee weapons (spears and daggers would make the most sense in my mind) along the progression tree that are considered hunting weapons. Florians are the premier hunter race, so it makes sense that they would have some more dependable hunting gear than the other races

Hm.. Don't know when I'll get back to working on this, but I will eventually.
