remix menu to customize how much storage and change the exhaustion and lack of spear throw so you can mess around with forager

poofeyness
this is a mechanic that make the forager poofier the longer you play and will increase kentic damage (because you are getting bigger) but this will make the forager less chonky when you start but it lets you get signifgantly chonkier the longer you play

boss concept: the sentry

appearance: a red, very skinny, streamlined slugcat that has multiple glowing bulbs in its back to keep itself warm, the right half of its head was replaced via a gun-like apparatus with a scope that could extend to the left eye. on the right shoulder of this 'slug cat' there is a ammunition belt going from a large box of ammo to the gun itself which is located on the lower back of the sentry

lore: the sentry was made by an unknown iterator to catalogue the cold wilderness beyond the range of the overseers, with 4 large heat-emitting bulbs in its back to keep it from freezing, it defends itself via a 70 mm rifle strapped to its face that will usually kill most creatures with a single shot. using a purposed organism on the armoured box on its lower back, it can generate infinite amounts of food and ammunition via consuming the sentries waste and turning it into ammo and food. but due to the sentries ravenous appetite the purposed organism is somewhat useless because of how slow it is at producing food and ammo. before the sentry fires its gun it would 'charge up' the shot before firing, nestling into the ground to help the light slug-cat take the recoil, at a cost of being vulnerable to threats behind it, but as compensation it can use the already charged up shot as a 'double jump' sending it high into the air with a chance of hurting its combatant if the bullet accidentally hits.

why does it attack the forager: it sees the forager as competition for food and as a food source itself so it will attempt to snipe you first before using spears

main mechanic: its shots take 12 seconds to 'charge up' before firing, giving the forager a chance to get to cover before the sentry takes another shot, however if you are too slow and you get close enough the sentry will un-nestle itself from the ground and use its charged up shots recoil as a jump boost, sending the sentry to a different firing spot, stand away from it while doing this however as if you go under it while its jumping you will be killed by the rifle

the option for spears would be nice

I'd definitely like an option for the spears, or just give it the ability to throw weak spears. Because as it is currently if a centipede grabs you, you're done for, and being able to throw even a weak spear would fix that issue.

If not spears, some other way to defend yourself against things that are right in front of you, because if it's even a little faster than you you're screwed. The saint solved this by being agile and having a unique ability later down the road. The forager, while kind of agile thanks to the tongue, is still slow and gets out of breath if it's running and jumping to get away from something trying to eat it, and has no ability besides one that's only useful if something is under it with something to drop off of.

custom lizards

lizard concept: the woolly lizard

appearance: a big, fat dark green coloured lizard that drags itself around with 6 strong yet small legs and a stubby tail. it has tiny black beady eyes and a maw filled with sharp teeth.

ability: shooting rocks out of its mouth to stun prey

lore: this lizard is the descendant of the classic green lizard, having grown another set of legs to help move itself around like the caramel lizard, but having a full coat of fur to keep it from freezing to death. unlike other lizards this one has evolved a small pouch in its body to store items! which it uses to stun prey with!

I'd say that it probably descended from whatever the caramel lizard descended from, considering they're so similar. They just diverged shortly after learning how to spit things

i like that idea

do like the outer expanse tree area with it being dead and be able to see fallen pebbles in the background

If possible i think it would be cool if the forager could find another rarefaction cell because when forager stores one it changes the gravity and stuff i would love to use that in a playthrough

Also we need a way to get the mark of communiation so we can talk to lttm and fb

that's messed up :( i feel like outer expanse wouldn't die because it's outside of where five pebbles is and it already was alive for a while without needing him so it wouldn't die

I do plan to do that at some point, but Moon and Pebbles aren't very relevant to Forager's campaign
