Mod Ideas

Chest Upgrades

Adds four craftable "upgrade" items that can be used on chests to expand their storage capacity (think Iron Chests mod).

Each successive upgrade requires the previous: Original -> Copper (+1 row) -> Iron (+2) -> Gold (+3) -> Iridium (+4).

Will require Expanded Storage mod.

Seed Spreader

Adds a new "Seed Spreader" tool that can be used to plant seeds in a large area more quickly.

The Seed Spreader can be purchased from Clint's shop and upgraded like any other tool (Original -> Copper -> Iron -> Gold -> Iridium).

Features:

• How to know which seeds to use?
  • Ammo?
  • Per-use, first seed(s) of same type found in inventory?
• How the tool should be used:
  • Using the tool should not stop player movement, as that would feel a bit clunky and honestly would not be worth getting.
  • Hold the tool to show highlighted area, press left-click to use.
  • Show tool range via highlighted squares, displaying the tiles in which seeds will be planted.
    • Only show highlighted squares up to the number of seeds the player has available to plant, so there is no confusion as to where the seeds will be going.
  • Pressing left-click will shoot the seeds out into the highlighted tiles, planting them into any vacant hoed dirt.
    • Maybe make a quick little animation of the seeds arcing into their respective tiles? Each seed should have a few ms differential, so a satisfying sound can be played when the seeds enter the dirt.
• Tool should require a brief recharge after each use, ~1s.
  • Left-click can be held down to automatically use the tool again after the recharge period ends.
  • Play a shuffling, mechanical reload sound during this time.
  • For displaying the tool icon "recharging", try to reuse SDV weapon right-click cooldown meter, as this is the same concept.
• The planting range should make purhcasing/using the tool worthwhile.
  • Max range increases with each tool upgrade.
    • Original: 1x3 (ie: copper watering can)
    • Copper: 1x5 (ie: iron watering can)
    • Iron: 3x3 (ie: gold watering can)
    • Gold: 3x5 (ie: iridium watering can)
    • Iridium: Two ranges unlocked!
      • (1) 5x6
      • (2) 5 steps; trapezoidal shape, each step increasing height by 1 on both sides. (useful for pivoting around a single point, planting in all directions)
        • 3x1, 5x1, 7x1, 9x1, 11x1
  • While holding the tool, pressing right-click toggles the tool's range, so the player has more control over where they are planting.
