Terrarian
Hello everyone, I would like to talk about two mechanics that can be boring to some and making them a bit more fun and interesting!
This post includes.
-A section about Gardening Revamp
-A section about Alchemy Revamp
-Some small QOL changes related to the 2
-A section about myself
Gardening
A small feature in terraria that is kind of slow and boring at times so let's improve on that.
Bonuses
Gardening should include amounts of progression besides just potions.
Gardening now can have a small chance for rare things to grow such as pets, vanity's and more!
Gardening could also improve NPC Happiness when done nearby or other small bonuses.
Certain seeds could have certain effects as ammo types for the blowpipe.
Revamping the mechanics
Gardening in certain planter pots should increase the speed of growth and also the correct biome will also increase the speed of growth.
You can now place liquids nearby your plants for special effects.
-Water: Increases the speed of growth for most plants
-Lava: Increases the speed of growth for Fire Blossom and Deathweed
-Honey: Increases the number of seeds per harvest for plants nearby
-Shimmer: Increases the chance for rare things to grow in the garden
The Gardeners Blade A hardmode tool found from rare drops in the garden and changes based on what seeds are in your inventory.
-Blinkroot: Leaves a mark on the enemy allowing you to see them through walls
-Daybloom: Increases your speed when you hit the enemy
-Deathweed: Releases ichor/cursed flames upon destroying an enemy
-Fire Blossom: Adds the On Fire debuff upon hit
-Moonglow: A small orb follows the player when attacking with the weapon shooting lasers every once in a while
-Shiverthorn: Slows down the enemy by 25%
-Waterleaf: Increases mobility and damage while in liquids
Smaller Changes
Gardening Achievements?
Dyrad could give you tips in some of her dialouge
All plants placed in corruption become deathweed
Possibly mushroom gardening?
Secret Seeds could change something with it. (Etc, ftw could have plantera bulbs grow in your garden)
Alchemy
A feature that is necessary for gameplay but often forgotten.
Bonuses
I don't think we really need any more bonuses as the effects are fine but maybe it could help with something.
Revamping the mechanics
Potions take time to brew but can be brewed in each brewing station allowing you to create a automatic brewing farm if you want
Manually brewing requires you to play a minigame but brews the potions much faster.
Potions now have reforges.
When you upgrade your brewing station instead of reducing materials you can auto brew faster
Have a post-hardmode brewing station.
Smaller Changes
In ftw make reds potion brewable but out of luminite for the funsies
Achievements
A npc to help with brewing by maybe selling more brewing stations and helping you get better potion reforges.
More potions such as Gardening potion and Lumber potion
Gravitational potions should be able to do all 4 directions.
Small QOL
Upgraded UI for brewing.
Flowers will tell you what potions they can be made for as potion recipes can be hard to memorize.
WIP
My Status
I would like to thank you all for giving me support in my first post. As a new forumer this means a lot to me and as such I will start working harder to create higher quality content for the forums. Thank you for letting me into the community.
Wrap-up
Thank you all for reading this far.
If you want to support me give me some ideas here for my new series Other - Give me your stupid ideas so I can make them a reality.
With all hopes and dreams -Maitaria
