What if there was a way - injecting some liquid, or something like that - of getting yourself in a genuinely tiny size? Simple grass and fallen leaves would represent authentic forests and the once irrelevantly irritating flies are monsters worthy of shrieking about. How do you feel about this? I'm quite interested in this ~ockpii
Beyond it just being cool, you'd get to enter places you'd never get to normally. Perhaps a size change not on the same scale as the OP suggests, but still quite powerful?
I suppose being able to dig straight down by only digging one block would be cool... DAMN i wish there was a shrinking potion in terraria to do just that... too bad the game is over... :<
Why the hell not? Would look strange in Multiplayer, though. But hey, it would allow you to sneak into a base of "That Guy" and blow the heck out of it! I approve.
I would also love a growth thing, I just wanna build a tiny network of tunnels only accessible while shrunk.
You could also have one that makes you giant. The effect could be that when you are big you can walk faster than usual, walk up bigger gaps and jump higher and further. You could also be able to hurt enemies by standing on them. There needs to be a downside so it isn't completely OP, so how about when you are giant you can't use items or vehicles.
That's an amazing idea! With sneaking in pvp being on the table, this sounds like a great solution. Also could have a use in pve as well, since you could just sneak past really dangerous mobs. Or maybe there could be tiny materials that you could only collect in shrunken form? Or there could be tiny virus-like mobs that eat away at your building that are only defeatable in tiny form. Shrinking opens up a lot of doors for this kind of stuff.
Shrink yourself. Enlarge a huge [...] boss. No weapons or items. I challenge all of you! That is, if this gets implemented.
I like the idea of shrinking yourself, and I guess that zooming in wouldn't be an impossible mechanic, but I also think it could do without the zoom in! This has a lot of practical use for missions, like say you have to shrink yourself down to get inside of a dungeon where fighting the most basic enemies became a challange. Or even the convenient uses of hiding with it. What comes as a question, is would you be shrunk for a time limit, or would you have an injection that you use once it shrinks, use again it grows. This could also offer a lot of role play potential, as maybe being shrunk as a punishment for disobeying orders, or as a prisoner, or sneaking into a base. While I think the zooming in would be cool, I think maybe a button to switch views would be necassary, or monsters would be far too annoying. I like the idea of there being materials you could only gather while tiny, or perhaps, a whole novelty line of tiny based equipment like grass gear that you can only wear while tiny, or even special drops from monsters that you get which would be used to upgrade, or craft higher tier weapons. Rather than an injection, I could see it being like a transmitting device that surrounds you in an aura shrinking you and itself, and when you use it again it grows you! I fully support this idea.
I think this would be awesome if it was in the game. Many good ideas going on here too. I'd totally use this if it was in the game. Edit: "Or craft higher tier weapons" This made me think of collecting microchips that would drop from some specific mob, except if you were tiny, you'd "notice them quicker" so in that way the droprate of microchips would be 50% higher while you are tiny, compared to while you are normal size. That was the idea I got at least, or maybe you'd have to assemble the microchips while tiny, and then pick them up as whole microchips while you are normal size. Anyways, good ideas here, I like them all.
yeah definately, perhaps if you're tinier drop rates increase for rarer stuff, or even change like I was saying, anyway hopefully people will support the idea.
Imagine you've been combining some chemicals at random in your lab, and come up with a bottle of liquid labelled "drink me" and a small cake labelled "eat me". Anyhoo, references aside, I think this would be a lot of fun. Depending on the scale of the size change, you could end up using a mouse, or even an ant as a mount. At the very least, you could use this kind of feature to slip into narrow passages, or through cracked materials.
Becoming just small could be a funny, even if not ovelry practical thing (I'd expect and hope that the effect of all miniaturized weapons would be weaker as well) but I don't think the scale of miniaturization from OPs suggestion would be a good idea. I mean, care to wait months if no longer for devs to create all those new biomes for miniaturized players and their ties with 'normal' world?
I can see myself injecting a gigantic boss with the fluid. He would shrink down to the size of an earthworm, and I would step on him with my boot!
