Niko is cute and Oneshot was a great game with a vibrant world and character cast! I like that you've given him a 'favorite food bonus' like the default characters. Pancakes! So delicious and fluffy and looking at the beautiful game art of him with a plate in front of him made me hungry for some too!

So does his hat give the combined effects of Straw Hat and Top Hat since you need those to make them?

I enjoyed the joke of him being mistaken as a cat in-game and thus approve of the wetness sanity drop on him. Here's my cat ideas:

Eating Fish/Fish Crock Pot foods give Niko 33% more hunger (based on Wurt's effect for Veggies/Fruit).

Niko's Cat o' Three Tails recipe (x3 Cat Tail, 2x Beefalo Wool). Makes it more available for use since Tentacle Spots aren't easy to get. Like Wigfred's Battle Spear, should be 25% stronger than the normal variant which incidentally makes Niko's whip 34 dmg (same as normal Spear).

Can craft the structure Hollow Stump (x4 Logs, x1 Cat Tail) to house Catcoons.


Alternative easy fuels for The Sun: x2 Red Gems, x2 Scorching Sunfish since Fireflies are non-renewable and not everyone has a computer that can run Caves for Lightbulbs.

Beefalo Shirt should be a tier 2 warm clothing with same effect as Beefalo Hat. I mean, technically it means you're their biggest fan club member (besides that weird Shepherd guy).

Thanks for making this! Also thanks for your continued efforts to make him a unique playstyle of his own! There aren't many character mods that aren't OP but still interesting. It also helps that I actually like Niko unlike the many anime characters that make up so many of the mods.

Thanks for all the support and praise, it really does help motivate me. A lot of these ideas are really good.

To answer your question about the hat, it has a small sanity gain on the wearer as well as increases the user's sanity aura, the recipe will need some adjusting and balancing.

The fish bonus idea is really amazing and I will look into adding it in a update soon.

The ideas for the Cat o' three tails and the hollow stump seem a bit off topic, they fit for the cat theme but not the character directly so I will likely not be adding it anytime soon, sorry.

The idea about the Sun's recipe is a good suggestion but there are already a few different options in the config including one that is close to the default but is better suited for players who can't run caves, using Sunfish for the recipe is something I will have to look into further but it might be a bit too out of the way.

The Beefalo shirt is not really meant to be taken seriously, it is currently there as a little joke item.

Changing 'Is Niko a Cat?' to Yes either makes the world fails to generate or crashes my game. Gonna see if it does that even with no mods activated.

Edit: Yeah, fails even with no other mods.

So I found out that Squid Skitters can drop Lightbulbs and they can randomly spawn near schools of fish visible in the water at Night. Though I've only encountered them once so far, this gives access to Lightbulbs without Caves.

Make Lightbulbs/Fireflies/Nightmare Fuel directly refuel The Sun rather than needing to acquire multiple. Lightbulbs should give 1.5 minute each whereas Fireflies/Nightmare Fuel should give 3 minutes each (same efficiency as Lantern/Magiluminescence).

8 minutes is 1 full day. So 40 minutes is 5 days. So requiring approximately 13 Nightmare Fuel or 26 Lightbulbs or for 5 days.So using both is 6.5 Nightmare Fuel, 13 Lightbulbs for 5 days or double those quantities for 10 days.

Even though you can't turn The Sun off and conserve fuel during Day/Dusk, the fuel isn't wasted as you can use it as a weapon in that time.

Electrical already adds a x1.5 damage modifier so it should have default base damage like Morning Star (28.9) to be balanced.

-10 Sanity from killing innocent creatures because he's a young child.

-1% movement speed for every 2 pts of Wetness due to Niko's thick clothing.

Rather than Birchnut/2 Eggs/Honey to make Pancakes, you could have Electric Milk instead of an extra egg. Would make Pancakes harder to make than just plopping your base down next to bee hives and setting up bird cages.

Berries, Banana, Corn, and Pumpkin can be Pancake Toppings (like how Warly has Seasonings). Though Berries and Bananas are easier to acquire than the latter two.
Also keep in mind that Berries can be used to make Trail Mix, Meatballs, Pierogi and Banana makes Banana Pop. So rather than outright raising health/hunger/sanity, they could have special effects like Warly's exclusive recipes.

Speaking of Warly, his food variety effect could provide an interesting self-imposed challenge. He remembers foods eaten in a 2 day period and receives less and less gains from eating anything he recently ate before.

Niko might not be a picky eater but eating the same thing over and over again does lose its appeal.



I think it's neat how when Niko dies, you get his photograph icon from Oneshot. I like the messy hair look of his Survivor skin. The Author's Journal in Winter Solstice route could create a boat but that's probably needlessly complicated when everyone can just subscribe to a mod that gives general access to boats. Hmm, I would if having Sanity drain while Sailing would be going overboard? Being out at sea surrounded by tons of water really makes one lonely...

A lot of wonderful and creative ideas! Thank you!

So first off the ideas on refueling the sun, currently you can use 1 nightmare fuel to refuel it 34%, I am not sure about the idea of letting it also be refueled using lightbulbs and fireflies because lightbulbs are really easy to amass and fireflies are nearly unrenewable but they are still ideas worth thinking about, so I will keep it in mind.

About your idea for balancing the sun, thank you for your input, balancing is a really difficult thing to manage and it helps to get other peoples opinions, I will carefully consider your suggestion.

Losing sanity from killing innocent creatures is actually an idea I have had for a while but it still helps to know you also think it is a good idea.

Slower movement from wetness is an interesting idea however I do not feel like it really fits too well.

I like your suggestions about the pancakes but I want it to be a fairly easy recipe but I will keep your idea in mind for if I change my mind on that. The toppings is also an idea I have had for a while but I never really thought about the specifics and I like your ideas for it.

Warly's food memory is a feature that I don't think fits Niko all that well, also it is sort of Warly's whole gimic and even if I did add it I don't think other people including myself would enjoy playing Niko as much.

I like the idea of Niko losing sanity on a boat being surrounded by water but it seems a bit redundant because I already have plans for Niko losing sanity from being wet.

here is a quote i came up with for Niko catching a heavy fish. "Look what we caught!"

I know I'm late, but I really love this Character! If I were to suggest anything, I'd like more custom lines when inspecting things! It would really flesh out the character more than it already is!

I would love to do that and I have been wanting to ever sense the start, I just am having trouble figuring out which lines are default or need changing, If you could suggest some specific lines that need changing please do.
I have been trying really hard to keep up with updates and add lines for new items, which so far I think I have done well, I really love the lines I put for Wigfrid's new songs.

Thank you! So far what I've seen in game, these things need updated quotes/ I think are default;

-Wobster Den
-Misspelling when inspecting a birchnut tree 'preety'
-Twiggy tree cone (I think)
-No noise when doing the yawn emote
-The Freshwater fish item (Not normal fish)
-Fish Morsel / Cooked Fish Morsel
-Spider Gland

This is 100% my favorite character mod of all time! Tysm for making and keeping it up-to-date! :os_niko:

you could also make them have the end of his sleeves as hands and then change all of their animations so their sleeves are always falling down

I am keeping the "is niko a cat" option as is, I love it too much to change it.

That is rather complicated for me, I still don't know anything about animating, but thanks for the suggestions.
