Community The Agaran Menace

The mob thing sounds fine, but uninfected players should be able to destroy infection by replacing the block. It'll make it hard to save an "infected" planet.

 

And you can craft something that slows the bar down, but is not a cure, like a survival pack for spores, a gas mask, temporary but works

 

there should be bloks that stop infection from spreading, for quarantine zones, that way you can make quarantines without infected blocks getting in

 

We'd need some kind of protection suit, like that durasteel thing that helps on Asteroid Fields.

 

Or just a craftable vaccine. It should be moderately hard to craft, but the effect wipes away upon death. This will make players want to avoid the infection.

 

Yeah, of course, metals shouldn't become infected and any sort of player made block that's not organic shouldn't either.

 

Sounds nice, but I still suggest my vaccine idea.

 

i think a gas mask like item should be craftable and help slow the infection

 

Sounds nice. It could slow it down and be an easy alternative for a vaccine, but shouldn't work on the visual slot and should offer little protection, making it hard to use for even most of the experienced players, discouraging people from going near infection anyways.

 

It would be really cool if on every server/character, the cure was randomized from several rare/semi-rare materials, and you had to do many, many experiments to find the right recipe. This would add some excitement to the plague, and a 'we've only got two days to save the world' feel to it.

 

Cool!

 

yea, or they could make the hazmat suit have a purpose, i have a full set from grinding the galaxy

 

Yeah I agree, it wouldn't work if its set as Vanity, and it only slows the infection, it doesn't offer complete protection.

 

Also, these materials should come from infected areas, making it even more dangerous in terms of fighting the infection.

 

So we'd need mushroom stuff? Because vaccines include a small amount of the disease, right? My family gets em' just not all of them.

 

Yeah, so then again, you shouldn't be instantly infected. Cutting down the enemy and getting the stuff shouldn't be a problem as long as you do it quickly or with gear on, like the hazmat protection items we suggested earlier.

 

Or you could use the pre existing mushroom blocks to break down DNA of mushrooms to help make cures and armor upgrades

 

Yeah, but you'd technically need to visit an infected area to produce the materials.

 

Just trying to make this a more devloper friendly suggestion...

 

Yeah, I agree, using some of the mushroom spores should be necessary. Also, maybe the ink from a tentacle monster would be really cool. If you went into the core of a tentacle planet, you'd find the octopus/squid thing as a miniboss, and if you killed it it would drop several ink sacs, as well as pixels and alien tentacles.
