Piebabble

I love the idea of the buggy’s. But I feel like they kind of fall short with what benefits they provide to the player. And there are three things I feel like could make it better (1) being able to add armor, mutations, or upgrades that allow for different specializations/configurations of what class your Buggy is (2) being able to feed your Buggy for more interaction options, bonding, and even healing after a battle (3) I feel like it would be so helpful to be able to send the Soldier Ant Buggy to collect resources nearby the camp. Maybe within a certain distance from the ant bed? I’m not talking about resources that require actual digging, chopping, or smashing. I mean like the lose ones that are readily available on the ground (pebblets, fiber, and maybe even the little mushrooms.) you could even go the direction of instructing the ant to go after weevils and aphids. The organic Ant mechanics in the game already make it so that the soldier ants attack nearby insects and the worker ants go gather food. So I feel like it’d be a similar thing to implement those concepts for the Buggy. I think it’d be so cool to be able to select a certain resource for the Ant to go pick up. And if they could go get some little prey insects, that’d be even cooler. I think, all n all, it could make them more useful, fun, and lovable if these things were a part of their mechanics

I don’t have an issue with spiders being plentiful in the world, just like in the first game, but it seems like this game has a disproportionate amount of spiders to the point where it’s kind of hard to enjoy the game. Every five seconds I’m being chased down by a wolf spider or an orb Weaver and, until you can get full ladybug armor, I feel like it really cripples the gameplay. And getting the entire set of armor is difficult because in order to get the blueberries you have to go to a far side of the map which takes you through 8+ spider nests. Even after getting full ladybug armor, the amount of spiders is just too much. Especially considering the fact that there are other angry insects that you have to worry about too.
