3 months Grounded, not long enough

[Pilotwig]

Hi all,

I am posting on behalf of my son, Pilotwig. He has enjoyed playing the past few months of Grounded with his grandpa. He enjoys the base building and the "longish", err "medium" story - he's laughing thinking of all the good times he's had: farming a ladybug with arrows and then dying to the ladybug by falling off the limb. He is fond of the catastrophic mess he's made of a base. He wants to continue his exploring in Grounded and wanted to see some of the responses he's had of his own ideas. He was encouraged to make these by his grandpa.

 

• Paint
  • This can be found as a white paint in the south paint buckets and respawnable after 2 or 3 in game days.
  • It would be like any other stackable liquid object.
  • Different colored paints would require different bug or plant parts with the original paint; Yellow - Bee Parts, Blue - Flower Petals, Brown - Acorn stuffs, Etc…
  • It would be able to dye plank and stem walls and floors, possibly the mushroom brick walls and floors.
  • Multiple paint drops would be required per wall/floor/stairs,(Wall-2 or 3, floor-2 or 3,stairs 3-5)
  • Requires the Paintbrush and Paint bucket
• Paintbrush and bucket
  • Both used to apply paint to a wall, floor, or stairs - Brush in one hand, and the bucket in the other.
  • The bucket would function similarly to the canteen, but would pick up paint in chests and the inventory.
  • And the brush would dry out after using a certain amount of paint, so you would need to dip it in water/ a canteen instead of repairing it. 
• lll Bur Armor - Headpiece
  • It would look like you carved out the bottom of a bur to plop it on your head, and have a spot for eyes, or it would be carved out to fit your face.
  • So the bur would only cover the hair, ears, and partial neck of the wearer - Chest and leg pieces -
  • Would look like you were covered in spikes, except for part of the arms and hands.
• Sign
  • Crude rope, mushroom bricks, and stems/splinters -
  • The post holding the sign up off of the ground= Mushroom bricks, Actual sign; many designs, arrows, rectangle, triangle?= stems/splinters.
  • And would be mounted on to the post by the crude rope_Wall mounted signs would be hung up by the bee stinger or repair glue instead of the bricks, like the wall mounted zipline
  • To make words, you would need a Chisel.
• ll Chisel
  • Splinter, crude rope, and 1 mushroom
  • It would look like a stake, but used for making words on signs and possibly some pre-set symbols.
• Portable compact building bench
  •  Hence the name, more expensive, and can’t craft as much stuff as the bigger brother.
• Paint coated mushroom rounds
  •  Exactly as it sounds like, low damage, but there is a chance that it would make the targeted enemy by the turret ‘slip’, making them take more damage and slow them for 1-3 seconds, depending on the enemy.
• Sticky rounds
  • High chance to stop enemies in their tracks for a small amount of time, doesn’t really do any damage, requires a medium or large amount of sap.
• l or ll Slingshot
  • Crude rope and splinters
  • Like a cross bow, but takes a different type of ammo
  • Fires fastish and does low damage, but highly accurate, 90-95%
• l-lll Slingshot ammo
  • Pebblets, would make 3 or less ammo
  • Could have spicy, sour, fresh, Etc, effects like weapons and arrows.
• Hung lights
  • Would be on one end of a singular wall to the other end, Firefly parts and lots of crude rope.
• Medicine
  • If you don’t already have this in the game, it would cure you of poison or maybe the other bad effects and heal you a bit, Mediumly-hard to craft.
• Couch
  • Similar to the berry chair thing, but can be combined to make a bigger version, could have corners if needed.
• Sundial
  • A useless large waste of ground used to tell the time.
• Compass
  • Used to navigate to somewhere(With the compass set to some Alluminum foil at a desired spot) without requiring the map
  • Could maybe be named(Picnic Table, Base, Shed, Black Widow’s spawn…Etc)
• Alluminum foil
  • Placed on a singular wall, and the compass can be set to track it, found at the picnic table, possibly respawnable, broken using a ll or lll axe, possibly roofing uses as well
• Autobuild
  • Whenever you place down a blueprint for something, you can select ‘Autobuild.’ As the name suggests, whenever you are close enough to it, and have the right materials, it automatically takes those materials and builds it for you.

 

Let me know what you think. Looking forward to your replies!
