i kinda wanna throw hands at the hoarding bug
#a mod were you can punch

Left click with empty hand. Empty hand acts like shovel but does half damage. Compatible with lgu protein powder ideally, meaning at max level you're basically carrying around a free shovel (LGU adds 2 damage, divide by two for unarmed penalty? I think?)

Sounds fire
So with lgu does that mean it adds +1 dmg instead of what it usually does?

Even half damage seems like it could be too much, considering the shovel costs
- an inventory slot
- the weight of carriage
- the funds to purchase
Though half damage could work if it costs stamina to punch
fleet umbra
10%?
fleet umbra
10% damage i mean
woven wraith
OH
Nah 25% would probably be healthy
Or 34% if that's possible
Idk how fine tuned you can get with health and damage in LC

Maybe use hoarding bugs or snarefleas as reference to how much less damage
Like, how many hits is a snare flea with a shovel. How much HP does it have and how much damage does a shovel do, in numbera
Numbers*
fleet umbra
Hoarding bugs take two hits normally. They have 2 hp. A punch would do .25 hp so you would need to land 8 carefully placed hits on a very angry and fast moving bug
wheat pebble
I mean if you spam click you'd realistically be punching the snare flea off your head in most cases
fleet umbra
If compatible with LGU each level of protein powder adds one point of shovel damage to attacks. So lvl 1 protein would do 1.25 damage, then the top level would be 2.25 damage

Let's not think of other mod integration right now
fleet umbra
Maybe don't let players punch while snared?
wheat pebble
Focus on this by itself, fair?
fleet umbra
Aight
Sorry, I see a mod idea and I immediately start thinking of what that mod could do with this mod
wheat pebble
Hmm. 8 seems a bit like much, but 4 too little. I think the 34% aka 1/3 a hitpoint would be good, meaning a bug would take 6 hits
What would also be cool is if punching took a windup, like shovels. Holding click brings up a fist and letting go throws a punch with a model animation
fleet umbra
Yea
I like the idea of punching the bracken before getting my neck snapped off
One last defiant hateful attack

Another idea: Punching coilheads and jesters will hurt you a tiny bit, but never be able to kill you
wheat pebble
Lol get outtyped by a guy with an old phone
fleet umbra
The forest giant picks me up and I'm punching its arm angrily but I might as well be punching a brick wall

thats why you bring your 31 buddies with more company

that or just don't let snare fleas get stunned off by punches specifically, so maybe you could kill a snare flea on your head, but only if you were already at full health and started punching like your life depended on it

not really necessary I think
better to let people fruitlessly bang their fists in desperation
wheat pebble
Either way it would make being on coilwatch a lot more fun

That could work. Maybe punching doesn't trigger damage effects at all? So no... actually the only thing I can think of is thumpers speeding up when hit but maybe going forward there'll be a monster that reacts to being hit in a way that not triggering the effect can be bad for players
Well... the only OTHER thing
Oh, and mask possession
Can't punch the mask guy off your friends
woven wraith
Ok
IF punches don't trigger damage effects then 34% damage seems fair, 50% might even be fair if the stamina drain is also factored in
Potentially a shorter range than shovels but they're already super short range that might just be uncomfortable to use

It could cost stamina to punch, taking away you're ability to run away.
What if you buy iron knuckles that does half damage and range (maybe the range of the shovel before v49) but faster hitting speed ?
Simplier, what if it costs stamina and you do no damage but you slightly stun enemies on hit (like 0.4 sec stun on enemies).
As if you were just trying to push them away.
woven wraith
Knuckles would need to feel like a sidegrade to shovels
Because now it's taking up an inventory slot

I'm gonna be honest, I don't like my idea about the knuckles, that's already too much
civic hazel
Maybe like pressing R or something like that could throw a quick punch?
And if you hold down you can charge it up
civic hazel
just got a idea for the people that want it as somthing you can buy... Maybe you could like learn it in the terminal for like 100 bucks then you unlock the feature to punch?
