    This is... ramdomly generated?? I guess some parts are linked to others, then? Or... there is a "robot" color pallete? :rofl:

    I suppose the term procedurally generated is more fitting here. Monster parts aren't randomly added to the mob, but rather, only a select pool of monster parts are used for each mob according to biome, and the parts are also coded to be thematically relevant towards each other.

    YOU GOT WHAT I MEANT, DON'T TRY TO CORRECT ME :cry:
    The question is, there are a few somewhat familiar parts in there... but they look robotic. Does that means that under procedural generation, there is a robot pallete, or are these just robot parts that happened to look similar to other ones?

    The color palate for 'random Friday monsters' is random, they're actually generated by an external program not the actual game. Monsters procedurally generated in game will have color palettes assigned.

    I'm sure the pool is small right now, so small infact, we're seeing the same parts popping up. I'm certain that more parts will be added to the pool, by devs or players, later on.

    And ohhh boy I REALLY hope adding new monster parts to the pool is as easy as adding new items. I am going to go berzerk if it is.

    I have to say, i don't quite like the legs. Maybe if the upper part of the shell was placed "over" the layer the legs are in...
