Custom Items!

[rugged tusk]

A way to make simple custom items, weapons and armor would be really cool! It could work fairly similarly to custom characters - so you pick the appearance and type of item (weapon, food, drug, placeable, etc.), then select a cause (eating it, hitting a character with it) and an effect (causing poison, dealing damage, healing), and then where you can find it.

Adding more powerful causes and effects costs more points, and making it more common to find also costs more points, so you need to balance the effects with the availability.

For example:

Heal Gun
20/20 points

(Recolored Tranq Gun)

Effects:
Ranged Weapon
Ammo: 8 (4 points)
On hit (Character): (5 points)
Heal for 15hp (5 points)
Make Friendly (3 points)

Acquired from:
Mission Reward (0 points)
Shopkeeper (2 points)
Upper Cruster (1 point)

Cool idea !

Would be cool to also have an option to integrate custom items so they can used and dropped by random NPCs, like goons and so on.

I actually disagree that this is a good use of development time

I think it would take too long and too much effort to implement something like this

and how many people would even use that feature?

this is a great idea but i think it would be better as a mod like if someone made a mod maker with a accesable and understandable gui that would allow u to upload images and choose effects upon eating or using whatever item it is u are making

i could try making something like that 🤔
