Why do we need herbs to go even faster you already have too much to even use up halfway into the game if you start planting at the start anyway

#

And I say this as a person who uses potions regularly outside of bosses

gaunt needle
#

So you have more incentive to explore the jungle (ig)

#

(If only it wasn't the best biome in the game anyways)

#

The only thing I hate about planting herbs is the time it bloom

patent marsh
tired haven
sand marlin
#

I mean the times may seem impractical but really it's not that bad especially when you can force 90% of those blooming conditions (fuck Blinkroots)

gaunt needle
#

(as well as the axe of growth)

steep patrol
#

Really?

patent marsh
tired haven
gaunt needle
#

Another reason to make that vernal soil suggestion then clueless

tired haven
#

Like if you decide to visit an evil biome with axe of regrowth you can easily get like 20 deathweed and seeds

steep patrol
#

Wait did planting in flower pot the same as ground or it wont get destroy by weapon

sand marlin
#

We should put Blinkroot in some draedon machine to stabilize the randomness so it goes back to just a regular herb

errant wren
#

vernal soil planters

tired haven
steep patrol
#

Yeah maybe I should switch to flower pot

hollow shell
gaunt needle
#

Riches get richer or something tbh

hollow shell
#

Something that's underused but has high power potential for people who know what they're doing
And the devs are trying to make it used more often by the average player
How to do that without making its power potential even higher?

#

It's definitely not hard to set up an herb garden, especially with the planter boxes obtained from the Planetoid Lab

#

I always do that real early in PreHM, harvesting every time I see em bloom, and I never have a problem with herbs

gaunt needle
#

You don't even need the herb garden in calamity

lucid marsh
#

I should really do that

gaunt needle
#

Potions aren't too great before skeleton (and also very cheap and also can be found in chests and crates), and after that blood moon fishing provides a ton of blood orbs

lucid marsh
#

Idea: make herbs used in more crafts

#

Moonglow for some jungle weapons or something, for example

#

At least one important one for every class

hollow shell

Like I know there's people who actively dislike cal removing the spelunking for most accessories/items by adding recipes and I am in agreement it may seem convenient but it kills the thrill of spelunking and earning your reward and even if RNG really hates you, you can keep going as the payoff will be even higher or you can stop caring and cheat in something you don't want to do at the time

lucid marsh
hollow shell
#

.. Are herb gardens not common? Do people frequently deal with herb shortages?
Is there a problem to be solved here at all?

sand marlin
#

People just get blood orbs

lucid marsh
#

A lot of people just don't make her gardens. The combination of needing those plus fish makes a lot of potions things that people don't bother with

gaunt needle
#

Yeah I don't think there is an issue with that

steep patrol
#

In my life I have never seen any casual player or new player make herb garden

#

Well casual probably not a right word to use here

sand marlin
#

What people do is just make potions with the stuff they have available and the ones from chests then make do with that until blood orb recipes

steep patrol
#

Herb garden is very cool decor tho

lucid marsh
#

Most of the good options require ingredients other than herbs that make them a pain to farm

steep patrol
#

Oh wait I forgor not only they not like to fish they also not like to build

lucid marsh
#

I like building, but I don't like fishing often. I'll do it just enough to get the cell phone.

steep patrol
#

I just bully DS for cellphone

gaunt needle
#

I would hate fishing if lava crates weren't so good

#

😔

steep patrol
#

I never in my life tried lava fishing yet

lucid marsh
#

Same

gaunt needle
#

And lava fishing is also a good bit slower than regular fishing

lucid marsh
#

It's just so out of the way from everything else

#

And slow on top of that

#

I may push myself to slow down and do a playthrough where I do everything someday

tired haven

# sand marlin Like I know there's people who actively dislike cal removing the spelunking for ...

I disagree with the point that cheating is a natural step in the progression,
But I do think that some of the vanilla item recipes could be either made more expensive or pushed later in progression, cuz yeah some are truly piss-easy to the point where there's little point in searching for the natural item
Finding stuff in chests is almost always more fun than just crafting em. Recipes get rid of that "Yes!" moment when you find something you wanted, or at least heavily weaken those moments

#

_ _
But this does kinda run against the uhhhhhhh the point that a lot of people are in their 167th Terraria playthrough and are just impatient at this point, the whimsy lost on them, and they are very hard to healthily design for

gaunt needle
lucid marsh
#

Herb gardens are just not useful unless you have other ingredients on top of the herbs

sand marlin
lucid marsh
#

Because most options require some other ingredient

sand marlin
#

Hell I don't even do real playthroughs

lucid marsh
#

I do

#

But not fully real always

sand marlin
#

My past 5+ runs have just been literally just jumping from one boss to another with prepped gear because I am incredibly unmotivated outside of multiplayer

lucid marsh
#

I usually use Wing slot and I sometimes use unlimited potion buffs

echo kestrel
#

i greatly appreciate the planter boxes from the planetoid lab

lucid marsh
#

The one that lets you make infinite versions of consumables is nice, you still farm a bit, but get to be done with it after

sand marlin
#

And for multiplayer when we try to get the stuff we need, we steamroll through it

Solution: Remove Singleplayer from the game clueless

I just wanted to repost something from reddit

#

that's great man but you didnt read the rules so im still going to ping you when i flag the post

royal tapir
#

@light birch Providence is no longer connected to the Sun in lore
In fact, a solid idea has been suggested in dev for changing her enrage condition
The Empress of Light part is fine enough, so if you remove the parts about Provi it'll be okay

novel belfry
#

okay phew

#

ive been wondering why providence just starts doing frost debuffs in nighttime and also is stronger (despite having the auric/godly soul of fire)

boreal lichen
#

Her domain hasn't been confirmed yet

#

But yeah getting buffed at night is not something she should do

novel belfry
#

The entry for Providence, the Profaned Goddess: "In a time lost to memory, there were four visionaries. With righteous fury, they slew a dragon, and their leader gorged Herself upon its auric soul of Flame. "The world is without guidance, and its people are filled with darkness." She said. There was silence, until Providence spoke once more. "Let us go forth, and light the world anew." And it was so."

#

that said i dont fully understand domains so ya

frail mantle
#

that's the soul she absorbed, not her domain

#

the usually aren't the same

novel belfry
#

gotcha

#

but either way i doubt the domain involves moonlight and voidfrost (the current name for an upcoming cold debuff to replace nightwither post-ml)

drowsy plank
#

they should not remove night provi but it could probably get moved to a different item or something

#

not to try and resurrect future bosses or something but a spawn item like that couldn't hurt so profaned moonlight dye can still be obtainable and such

prisma sedge
errant wren
#

i think it was probably the fact that they were unoriginal

#

not that i would know

#

i think i began playing cal after their removal

drowsy plank
#

i mean yeah pretty much

#

the problem was they fucking sucked and added nothing

#

and their permanent stat upgrades had to be pitiful to not break the game in half

#

so they were effectively meaningless

prisma sedge
#

Ahhh, damn
I think it'd be kind of cool to evolve their concepts into something a bit more unique, I feel like HotOG's Goozma is a good example of what a future boss could be like, but I can understand that!

drowsy plank
#

that's just a new boss but with worse visuals at that point

#

that's how storm weaver and aquatic scourge came about anyway

#

and calamity isnt adding any more bosses

prisma sedge
#

Of course, I know that, I just meant that having it be an expansion of a boss instead of...basically being a reskin and a harder difficulty, does sound fun! Even if it'd probably have to be restricted to add-on territory

drowsy plank
#

p much

errant wren
#

welcome back malice

idle dagger
#

Around here is where this happened

#

Basically night Provi would not be night related, but instead you giving her back the profaned core you took from the guardians, willingly giving her back full power

sharp helm
#

Give Provi her power back just so you can kill her to make a point

errant wren
#

wasn't there a sugg a while ago that wanted abyss building to be viable?

what was the verdict on that?

crude geode

Never got to dev

grim tusk
#

Is this SIS season?

golden sonnet
#

Item itself is fine, but the fact it's a recipe and they specify what the recipe is makes it SiS yeah

# copper barn Got it, thanks

look here; just replace your suggestion with this. you're still being too specfic, so i just wrote something for you. post this and you'll be fine

As Terraria is a sandbox game, it's only natural that many players wish they could build in the Abyss; perhaps even put their base there. Sadly, due to the nature of the area, unless the player wishes to constantly be drowning or dying, this is not possible.

However, perhaps an item could be added that, after completing a certain task, could be obtained by the player that allows them to build and dry out areas of the Abyss without the severe damage penalties that usually entails. This could be once the Abyss is no longer as relevant, such as after beating Polterghast or perhaps killing the Primordial Wyrm, or it could be highly restrictive in its use or range if placeable. There are, in fact, a few add-ons that add items like this, but requiring the player to download an add-on just to be able to build in a biome feels a bit excessive, as this is very much a problem base Calamity could easily tackle.```
#

oh you changed it again

#

i mean

#

that does technically work

#

also it's pylon not pilon

copper barn
#

Huge thanks, and sorry to bother

drowsy plank
#

ur fine

#

this is better than 90% of suggestions that break the rules

olive saddle
#

i do actually kind of like the idea of an item like the one in calval

#

i doubt thatll get straight ported to calamity but some kind of way to build in the abyss without godmode would be nice

Honestly, all of those seem like good picks

drowsy plank
#

cool

idle dagger
#

First time a suggestion of mine has made it

#

Awesome

idle dagger
#

There's a suggestion I want to make about Vampiric Talisman being added into Nanotech over rogue emblem
The last time I've seen this idea sent was 2 years ago, and wasn't sent to the devs

#

Before I make it, is there a reason it isn't?

#

Like maybe lifesteal being too powerful?

median scaffold
#

Doesn't Nanotech already have lifesteal in the form of Electrician's Glove?

sand marlin
#

Yes

median scaffold
#

Althrough that's stealth strikes only, so Vampric Talisman will actually do something...

median scaffold
sand marlin
#

Nanotech is a bit of a mess already anyway

median scaffold
#

Nanotech's code is so funny

frail fox
#

Worst accessory ever

crude geode
#

Nah

#

That honor belongs to ESA

median scaffold
#

ESA?

median scaffold
idle dagger
#

all good

frail fox
median scaffold
#

Actually, I think Elemental Gauntlet is the only exception to this rule, but gloves are the "main" melee accessory-line in the entire game

idle dagger
#

I think my problem is that all the other classes use their class accessories in intermediate upgrades, and those intermediate upgrades get upgraded further into the final 'endgame' class accessory for each class

...except rogue, who just uses rogue emblem instead?

median scaffold
idle dagger
#

I can get the lifesteal overlap though

#

That is fair

#

holy spelling error galore

median scaffold
#

I think that'll require to make Electrician's Glove into 2 separate effects (stealth strikes' AP, etc. and stealth strikes' lifesteal), which is not a bad thing, but at this point... why?

crude geode
#

/hj

median scaffold
crude geode
#

Empyrean when it

median scaffold
#

Will get a rework, luckily

frail fox
#

True but if others are 10 effects this is 50 and it combines the most random unholy things that should never exist and a pre-boss accessory too because?

median scaffold
#

...or a change to the set bonus, at least

crude geode
#

So it represents a capstone accessory to rogue as it stands

#

Messy and needing 500 reworks

idle dagger
#

If it's just a little bit of overlap with healing I might still suggest it anyway

Deadshot and Quiver have ammo reduction overlap (just arrows but still) and since the healing occurs at different times I'm sure it is fine

median scaffold
frail fox
#

Missing blunder booster (already endgame viable but why not)

crude geode
#

Do you think Shade stays in dev because he, too, fears what he’s created here in Calamity

median scaffold
idle dagger
sand marlin
#

Generic unconditional stats do not become bools yeah

idle dagger
#

I do apologize as I have no idea how the coding works lmao

sand marlin
#

Bools are basically just a switch

median scaffold
#

Ye

sand marlin
#

Since the ammo cost reduction is a generic stat, it isn't included in the main bool but like the above where it's separated from the effects

#

Bools are used for more complex effects

median scaffold
#

Nucleogenesis' whole accessory line is just a boolean fiesta

idle dagger
#

So basically, the healing overlaps in a way that like, messes the code up?

#

Or is it literally just that both healings wouldn't occur and it would just pick one

median scaffold
#

...hm

sand marlin
#

Glove healing and vampiric talisman lifesteal are actually not related at all

#

Well besides using lifesteal cooldown

#

The lifesteal might stack when it can

#

+2 from glove and whatever lifesteal from talisman at the same time, inducing more lifesteal cooldown

#

The overlap is rather that "we already have healing from this why add more of the same thing"

#

And Rogue is already incredibly tanky lategame so more lifesteal would be a bit bonkers

idle dagger
#

if more lifesteal is considered too strong and affected balance too much I will back down without hesitation

sand marlin
#

If you want an ideal route just suggest it as a placebo just to fill in the consistency

#

Cal does that pretty often, nothing wrong with it and it tricks you into thinking it's related to the current lifesteal too anyway

idle dagger
#

That's more or less my concern with it yes, the consistency

#

actually 'more or less' is jargon that is my concern with it

sand marlin
#

If you make that clear then it's fine

idle dagger
#

Alright, thanks

frail mantle
#

I’d wager it’s pretty likely that they add a vanity version of the old auric set

median scaffold
#

That falls under the "do not suggest anything regarding upcoming content" category, doesn't it?

#

And, frankly, I would like to see some of the other old sets come back (namely Victide armor)

hollow shell

@rain obsidian Do not post suggestions about upcoming content / stuff that's not in the game yet

so probing for that right now

they will probably be banned

Considering the message they replied to had the word commission it likely scanned the server for that word and replied to it

Surely this cannot be the only instance of the word commission though…

@sleek cedar

Please, read the rules (those are stored in Google document in the pinned message)

Yeah fair enough

median scaffold

But, tbh, another rocket type would be really cool
...as cool as nonexistent god slayer dynamite

Maybe cosmology could be combined with Mini-nukes like shroomite is combined with rockets?

median scaffold
#

Better to ask what its purpose would be, if you want to make a suggestion on it

sleek cedar
#

Hm ok. Especially since stuff like the chicken cannon already uses unique ammo

#

It probably wouldn’t apply to that many weapons past like the snowman cannon which wouldn’t make any sense

drowsy plank
#

rockets are also the most painful ammo type to add new versions of

since you have to make new projectiles for almost every ranged weapon that uses them

median scaffold

how do you think vanilla does it?

go look at snowman cannon

The same way convertables work?

A projectile, the stats of which the game gets from another projectile...?

hollow shell

We mailed them and we're giving them 24 hours to respond, and if they don't we'll ban.
It's extremely likely to be a bot/scam, but I spose they didn't outright say "steam $50 [link]" or "DM me to earn cash fast with crypto" so we're giving them that chance

i think it used to?? then again that was when it also cut into the dungeon

crude geode
#

Yep

grizzled dome
#

I honestly like the Abyss being a hard-line cut into the world? Yes, it feels unnatural and out-of-place, but at the same time... it is. Someone chucked a rock from space and it left an abrupt crater cut into the world. Maybe make it slightly more gradiant (I don't know enough about geology to explain how it should best work) but it being intrusive works.

light birch
#

It does not work like that, I can say that much

#

The astral infection I think does a better job at actually looking like something dropped from space

#

One impact point and the rest goes outwards from there

boreal lichen
#

I don't think the abyss was formed from a meteor

light birch
#

Yeah that was another thing, I just thought I didn't know the lore enough

boreal lichen
#

I don't think it's creation was ever stated, but it probably is naturally occurring iirc

light birch
#

Nothing about it really implies an impact like that

#

Way too vertical for that

errant wren
#

i think the only lore is that it somehow just stayed like that for some reason

light birch
#

Also that one god

errant wren
#

not that i remember much

light birch
#

Who got dropped into it or something

errant wren
#

silva i think?

grizzled dome
#

Its sheer verticality, plus what's found at the bottom, always made me think it was something being thrown downwards and sort of punched into the earth.

boreal lichen
#

Silva got sealed away there twice

prisma sedge
#

Silva just keeps the plantlife blooming, I think

#

Or life in general, because Jared

errant wren
#

it's a very hard "i think" though

#

i don't really remember the lore

prisma sedge
boreal lichen
light birch
boreal lichen
#

That too

errant wren
#

let's just say

#

life uh, finds a way?

grizzled dome
#

Ah. Basically we both agreed that it looked unnatural, but I assumed that unnatural look was intentional.

prisma sedge
#

Good point though, it'd either need a narrow enouogh shape on the front to split the ground around it, or be so dense that it'd just punch a hole through the ground anyways, like a black hole

light birch
#

Still, even then, it would be more like a funnel

boreal lichen
#

Byeah for the suggestion, I don't think there are any plans for abyss generation changes other than maybe more unique island shapes, but that's about it

light birch
#

Alright, I will wait for a decision then

errant wren
#

i mean, i think the sugg is valid, other than maybe future content

#

or maybe even reversion

novel belfry
#

(unironically i think Terminus needs to be not easily obtainable from a chest)

#

it implies Primordial Wyrm and Xeroc are not particularly bright if you can just sneak in and take the Terminus straight outta a chest

#

At least Xeroc had time.

#

PW just seems incredibly incompetent if it can just let someone steal the relic for themselves

light birch
#

Does primordial wyrm have ANY actual connection to it?

#

Isn't it just... another animal that lives there?

#

Why would it prevent you from taking it?

#

Genuinely, if I just don't know about that connection correct me

novel belfry
#

according to the Bestiary entry:

It held a deep hatred for any sign of usurped light, and would have attempted to strike down even the wielder of Primordial Light had they returned to reclaim their artifact. And yet, despite its immense power, it never would have stood a chance."

#

so two things:

  • He hates Xeroc so much he won't let anyone touch the fucking thing
  • Xeroc would probably still first try nohit PW thats how good he is
prisma sedge
novel belfry
#

so i assumed he was (Potentially bequeathed upon him by Silva's remains, as apparently she was a big rival to Xeroc) just guarding the damn thing

prisma sedge
#

Jared deserves better

novel belfry
#

now that i read it, it doesn't seem that obvious

#

but for a while, i legit thought that the infernum incarnation of him locking the Terminus behind him was more accurate to the lore somehow

#

and honestly, I'd still like if that was the case

light birch
#

Well, I've got nothing then

#

But I do agree, something that protects it would be fun

golden bane
#

Imo

#

It looks like a huge techtonic rift

#

Where like the I guess Terraria continental place moved away from whichever one is on the abyss side

#

Though that doesn’t explain the jagged line for blocks

#

True

novel belfry
#

While there are many sightless crevasses in the deep sea, this one is a geological marvel.
It is located unsettlingly close to the shoreline. Somehow, even eons of tectonics could not seal or crush it.

#

yeah it's bizarre

golden bane
#

I guess divine or smth influence reinforced the edges

#

Also it’s a known phenomenon that when worms (and also wyrms) burrow they reinforce the rock

#

So eons of eidolon wyrms burrowing could do that

#

Preventing it from collapsing

Not going to make a whole post about it as it may already has been implemented
Calamity Mod and Calamity Mod Music's descriptions still lack any mention of VCMM inside the game. So I'd obviously suggest to mention it in their descriptions

whole tundra
light birch
#

I'm still confused why the music is seemingly a separate mod

whole tundra
gritty plaza
#

It's also to help with updates - the music is a very large file, larger than the mod itself iirc, so keeping them separate means you don't have to redownload all the music just for a hotfix

#

Same thing is done with Celeste mods

light birch
#

Really? Oh wow

gritty plaza
#

Yeah it's hard to compress music

#

Although I'n not sure how one would check the file size of a Terraria mod

median scaffold
#

Steam says the file size, iirc

gritty plaza
#

Right

median scaffold
#

Alternatively, check the file's size directly via the folder manager

The mod is 257mb and the music is 631mb

Yeah, I've heard that for the most part, size doesn't matter a lot when it comes to 2D assets, it's just the amount of updates between them

hollow shell
#

Seems like a solid suggestion, this.

#

(Granted I haven't had a chance to use Chalice in practice yet so I don't know what its effects currently look like / the current level of communication to the player)

#

(But it does seem like an effect that would benefit a lot from crystal clear communication, and a lack of that would make it very annoying)

median scaffold
#

There's an effect to the bleeding of the chalice, but it is rather unnoticeable, from what I remember

#

Probably a cooldown, similar to the dodge one, would be nice here

errant wren
#

chalice bleeding? i think it's like spewing blood and going faster depending on how fast the DoT is

idle dagger
#

I agree with this sugg

#

I have no idea how much damage I've actually taken when I am hit with the chalice and just opt to heal as soon as I'm hit

#

Maximizing it's output...for whatever I did get hit by

median scaffold
#

I also agree with the suggestion

light birch
#

Yeah, there's a visual effect around the character

#

But that doesn't tell you anything specific

#

Also you really have better things to focus on while in a boss fight

median scaffold
light birch
#

It does vary depending on how much you have left

#

It's more intense if you take big damage instances

#

And lessens as it runs out

#

But that is... really barely noticeable when it actually matters

errant wren
#

the effect would be the least of your worries during a fight

#

but yeah, the visuals could be better

light birch
#

Having the health bar change colour is a really good way to show that, I am fully in support for that suggestion

#

Right now, all you can do is estimate vaguely based on how quickly your health depletes

sand marlin
#

#suggestions-posting message @sudden flicker there's a bit of misinfo here, health potions do not lose any healing when in use with Chalice. It's a bonus that the half of that healing also shaves as much bleeding.

#

Ah fuck I fell into the same reading comprehension trap nevermind

#

God damn.

#

Reading is hard

sudden flicker
#

Sorry. My wording isn’t great. It’s about the opportunity cost of not healing right away if you wait until you get hit.

sand marlin
#

Yeah no it's probably fine

#

Having like 10 words connected together and reading them all at once in the same context is hard and that's not limited to just your sentence, that's also what Chalice's tooltip and wiki description does which gives people a headache when trying to process it

lucid marsh
#

Hmm...

#

Idea

#

Overheal

crude geode
#

What

#

No

sand marlin
#

As much as I'd prefer to go a different direction than Stall for facetanking, I don't think Chalice is changing

lucid marsh
#

You can heal above your max HP but potion sickness deals DoT to the overhealed health

sand marlin
#

Too recent of a rework and I haven't seen negative impressions from any of the devs I talked to about it

#

But yeah visual cue good

#

Did you know that you can see the damage number that is inflicted as a bleed

#

Now we're just missing a bleed counter

sudden flicker
#

I think it’s balanced and I like the way it works, I just don’t like not being able to be sure if I’m healing at the right time.

sand marlin
#

It's rather underpowered and only carried by Charm of Myths for regular builds if I'm being honest

sudden flicker
#

It might be slightly underpowered, which is why I suggested the quality of life improvement to make getting max value out of the potions more reliable.

Raesh made an actual good GFB suggestion which is weirdly cool by itself

#

And that's the only "incident" from what I remember

glass arch
#

which one was raeshs

median scaffold
#

Something related to Astral Grass, iirc

glass arch
#

bc i remember a sugg to flip the abyss in gfb and dontdigup

median scaffold
#

...oh, and Cog made a suggestion about Night's Ray being post-DF in Don't Dig Up / GFB

boreal shale
#

what is DF

median scaffold
#

Duke Fishron

boreal shale
#

why is that not a "would be cool" suggestion?

#

isnt night's ray a pre hardmode weapon?

#

like mage night's edge

median scaffold
#

Night's Edge is a pre-hardmode mage weapon and locking it behind a mid HM boss is not a good design nor it is intentional, considering that the suggestion made it to the game

boreal shale
#

i dont understand

#

so it was a suggestion to remove that?

#

if not has it bee naccepted?

gaunt needle
#

It was a suggestion to fix the oversight (pre HM balanced weapon locked behind Duke fishron) by either moving it back to pre HM or buffing it to DF level

#

I do wish "it would be cool" was valid reasoning, as long as it's not bad in some other way, like being out of place

boreal shale
#

so true

#

there are some features that would jsut be nice to have

golden sonnet
#

If they would be nice to have then there is other reasoning for them

harsh echo
#

"nice to have" is an ALMOST reason it just has to be elaborated

drowsy plank
#

"it would be cool" reasoning is stupid and lazy

#

if a suggestion is good then you can actually justify it with more than that

#

i dont think a "it would be cool" suggestion has ever seemed like a good idea to me

sand marlin
#

It would be cool if calamity mod made you a superhuman irl

#

99% of the time they're paired with another violation that's usually an SIS, adding a new boss, or a massive mechanical overhaul that could never realistically be added

sleek turret
#

its ez just pair it with valid reason and you change "it'd be cool" with "if this suggestion is addressed and put into the game it will greatly enhance the [gameplay aspect] of the mod"

drowsy plank
#

TRUE

distant gyro
#

the latter is like

#

the ai generated version of it'd be cool

sleek turret
#

its just some paraphrasing effort

#

especially with suggestions you'd want to persuade people into thinking the sugg provides good changes

lucid marsh
#

Alright. How do you justify suggestions for aesthetic improvements without "it would be cool"

harsh echo
#

Address why the theming fits more

spice stream
#

i’ve seen people justify it with lore reasons

lucid marsh
#

Ugh... Those don't always apply

sleek turret
#

like, aesthetic improvements in the sense of biome theme improvements?

lucid marsh
#

Something could be lore and theme consistent but not have that be the main reason

#

Here's an example

sleek turret
#

or aesthetic improvements in the sense of overall building aspects by adding tiles and furniture?

"Astral grass should sparkle.
It would look cooler than just a plain color, and be fitting because it's star related, and stars sparkle"

ez

worldbuilding

lucid marsh
#

You might be able to make that fit, but you won't always

sleek turret
#

idk about the accessibility loophole

#

the one I see often is the vanilla compatibility one which is mid...

Fantastic example was that recent Skeletron sugg to change the appearance of projectiles with different behavior

Make Astral Grass Sparkle
Astral Grass is a surprisingly useful tile, as it is one of the only ways to obtain Astral Grass Seeds. These are necessary to craft Star Struck Water of which these two items are the only way to spread small amounts of Astral without transplanting blocks. This could be useful if someone wanted to, say, build a tree farm for Monoliths, which are a very nice building material. They are also the only way to spread Astral at all in GFB.

If your Astral happens to land in a Snow, Desert, or Jungle biome, it could be difficult to locate patches of Astral Grass, and making them affected by something like Spelunkers wouldn't make any sense. Making Astral Grass tiles have a small, ambient sparkling effect would be thematic with how the biome is associated with stars, make them easier to locate, and could help give the biome a bit of flair that it lacks compared to vanilla biomes, such as the ambient glow of Crystal Shards in the Underground Hallowed.

Add [extremely cool thing that has little to no gameplay implications] because it will positively impact the game in many different ways, including [...]

spice stream
#

i mean thats half of what makes a good suggestion

umbral gazelle
sleek turret
#

yea what makes a sugg good is how much you persuade

#

most people just scan the contents of the sugg really, they don't throughly analize every detail

gaunt needle
#

You could probably ask gpt to do the suggestion and no one would notice

median scaffold
#

I will read this and say if it is worth it or not. The case itself sounds... interesting, at the very least

median scaffold
#

Can I commission someone to make a suggestion? clueless

drowsy plank

i do this all the time lmao
