Poison Water Combatants

So, everyone who has gotten a planet with Poisonous Water knows that its annoying, and its EVERYWHERE. So then should there be some sort of Item or something you can wear to counteract the poison? Anyone?

 

Once you get off the early tiers, poison is the most underrated status. You've got 500 health (and tier 10 and 11 monsters have ~5,000 and ~10,000 health respectively) while poison only does 3 damage.

Not to mention with poison pools you can just dig out the background to make it all disappear into the sky magically.

If it's a big problem for you, if you take any food with regeneration buff, or red stims, you can swim in poison water all you like.

 

Having the monsters and the character screaming all the time because of the poison is more annoying than the damage himself...
and this is not that hard to escape... (or change of planet)

 

Dig holes in the background wall where poison water is. This will slowly drain it until there's nothing left.

 

You could always bury the poisonous water... When you dig the block up, it is gone..

I am still waiting for a method to manipulate liquids in this game.. >.> Unless it has been added in the few months I been away from the game and I don't know about it.. Ever since I saw that water physics demo, I been wanting to play around with said mechanic..

 

Tech chests often hide in poison water. So its often worth jumping in and emptying them. Either way high tier the damage is trivial.

Would be easier on the ears if monsters under poison only made noise if it dealt at least 2-5% or more of the total hp because otherwise its largely pointless. They could just flash red or whatever, but with no noise or battle music.

 

That's excluding whether or not you even have to jump in to get to the chest in the first place. There are a lot of poison water pools that are shallow enough where, if you stand close enough on the surface, allow you to access the chest without going in.

 

Would be nice if they brought back the poison becoming more ticks as you stay in the water without having that poison glitch with the lucky dip.
