On some planets, there could be trees or shrubs that drop explosive fruit. This fruit could then be used as improvised, weak grenades. Alternatively, the player could obtain many of these fruits and extract the explosive chemicals, using those to create more powerful grenades. If a planet has intelligent inhabitants with the means of picking up and throwing things, those mobs could be able to use these plant grenades in battle. Thoughts?
Hmm...it is possible, yea we do get gunpowder form plants, few plant explode seeds not fire explosive. It sound like borderland, but its a fruit that u can throw like a grenade that does not much dmg is really think about it there could be other plants produce more powerful explosive, yet again we r not sure they have them or don't want plain that out. To the point of mobs using grenades, that would be the natives (barbarian ppl or small bandits groups) .
I was expecting a reference to I wanna be the guy to be honest. I think this would be cool feature of a planet your visiting, but it shouldn't be anything major gameplay wise, just a cool thing to put in your PDA.
what did you expect, I know lots different things around whole world in reality....maybe I should mess around plant's DNA to make them explosive...maybe, maybe...
A new type of grenade that's made out of fruit. I see the thinking in this. Original, from the fact most people want the old usual grenades but with added effect, I'm liking the concept.
That's how the Doom Tree works, we seed the ground with our explosive trees... leech the chemicals into the soil.. then the planet explodes. And we use it to fertilize the next colony. Works better than a neutron bomb... 'cause people see those coming.
Like I said, I know what to do with plants... I've know what to do with another plant to be my turret gunner.
You're going to give me control... of a giant... beastly... rotating cannon of ultimate devastation... This is the happiest moment of my life ever since I was a little budling in the Garden of Pure Evil.
Yea I know...plants are use lots and lots way to be weapons, defensive type, or more then what we see. This game is going be very good hopefully, it can beat Far Cry 3 rating system. Yes I play Far Cry 3 and the game is too *censored* good. Maybe one day this game be extremely popular because every races is special one another even the forgotten races among of all time.
I would very much like to expand on your idea by not just making the fruit explosive but also giving it some other uses. This could be done via a system similair to how monsters are generated. A tree/bush checks on what kind of planet it is and then makes a few choices which will fit with this planet. Then the tree/bush goes to a randomizer to pick a random look for the fruit from said tree/bush, and give it some properties. For example: -bouncy -consumable -explosive -poisenous -gassy(smoke) -juicy(edible) -splitting(when it is trown it breaks apart) -etc. This will allow for intressting variety. Furthermore, I think that these bushes/trees should not always help the player. By that I mean that the plant might be hostile. And instead of giving you explosive fruit, lunges explosive fruit at you as a player. Offcourse the chance of this happening should also be randomized. Offcourse it could also use your idea of using certain of these aspects as components, if you can aquire them. For example: -bouncy fruit you need to catch -explosive you need to safely dismantle/catch -fruit that flees Ones done so you can use these components for anything really. Potions, weapons, food and etc. Let me know what you think about this. Grzzz vlamer12
Oooh! See the fruit, doesn't it look scrumppptious human? See it? Go get it! *lobs it... watches said fruit explode on them!*
