a bonfire that spawns outside and can be lit. lights up on its own at night, turns to blue fire (could use moon tags, too)

#

its main usage is resting by it to recover health, as well as talking and interacting with dead crew members. rarely, therell be a single scrap from the moon's pool by it

#

while a player thats being spectated is near a bonfire, a dead crew member's ghost appears sitting by the player. the dead player can use text & voice chat to communicate with players near the bonfire

#

some factors can turn this into a deadly bonfire

#

a few ideas

#
  1. the fire hurts, should see that coming
  2. visiting the bonfire while being chased by a ghost girl causes the bonfire to extinguish and the ghost girl to appear behind you.
  3. if the player visiting the bonfire has very low sanity and visits it at night time, a ghost identical to a dead crew member's may appear as an extra ghost. if the player stays at the bonfire for too long, or tries to touch the fake ghost, it turns to the player, gets up and kills them with a lunge. alternatively, ghost girl-like chase.
  4. if the dead crew member has been masked, and that masked body isnt busy chasing anybody, the masked may instead teleport somewhere close to the player on the exterior
#

depending on how the dead crew member died, the ghost can show the same death signs as the corpse would

#

coil for a head when killed by the coilhead, a twisted head if killed by the bracken, bullet holes if killed by the nutcracker, etc

#

the fake ghost would spawn with a random one.

#

bonfire - rest, heal up and meet ghosts

#

the ghost events may be set up to only happen at night, while resting & obtaining the scrap can be done at any time. to add another use, resting at night makes forest giants and other far away entities not spot you (but you risk meeting all kinds of ghosts..)

#

i think its a fun take on ouija n other mods that let you talk with dead players

#

plus it not being the only reason to visit a bonfire makes it still be a fine addition for singleplayer

Honestly, I wouldn't see this being made. Just feels wayy out of place for lethal

plain valve
#

how its implemented is key

#

a campfire where you can talk with dead teammates is a fine idea on its own

#

I mean yeah, an out there idea is going to be cool regardless but it's out there. Not close to what lethal is so I believe it wouldn't recieve a lot of attention

#

eh i dont write these expecting a mod

#

¯_(ツ)_/¯

#

modders are busy as is

#

write these up for fun

#

like the idea but it would be cool if sometimes the bonfire spawn an ennemy like a ghost or a dog

#

when you lit it

#

thats in the idea list up there

#

depending on things like sanity, if youre being followed or if there are masked inside, you either get to talk to your friends or get a surprise

#

its still worth going to as theres scrap and you can heal up, + intel from dead friends is great

#

Using the sanity mechanic is à very good idea
