Biomes & Nature Biome-specific ammo from Pots

[SzGamer227]

I smashed a pot in the Hallow and got Unholy Arrows literally 3o seconds before I started writing this suggestion. (Yep. That's how fast I react when I think of an idea). As of right now, pot loot is almost exclusively dependant on depth, and the only environment that drops biome-specific loot is the Underworld, but even that still qualifies as another depth requirement. Instead, I propose that pots should be dropping loot based on biome instead of just depth.

Common
When no other ammo is being dropped:

Wooden Arrows
When a gun has been obtained

Musket Balls
Hardmode

Iron or Lead Arrows
Silver or Tungsten Bullets
Post-Mech

Unholy or Jester's Arrows (instead of Iron/Lead)

High Velocity Bullets (instead of Silver/Tungsten)
Post-Plantera
In addition to the above:

Rocket I's

Jungle
Hardmode
Same as Post-Mech in a Pure Environment.
Post-Plantera

Venom Arrows

Venom Bullets
Lihzahrd Temple

Chlorophyte Arrows

Chlorophyte Bullets

Hallow
Hardmode

Holy Arrows
Silver or Tungsten Bullets
Underground

Holy or Jester's Arrows

Crystal Bullets (instead of Silver/Tungsten)

Corruption
Hardmode

Unholy Arrows
Silver or Tungsten Bullets
Underground

Unholy or Cursed Arrows

Cursed Bullets (instead of Silver/Tungsten)

Crimson
Hardmode

Unholy Arrows
Silver or Tungsten Bullets
Underground

Unholy or Ichor Arrows

Ichor Bullets (instead of Silver/Tungsten)

Snow/Ice
Hardmode

Frostburn Arrows
Silver or Tungsten Bullets
Post-Mech
Frost Bullets (instead of Silver/Tungsten)

Underworld

Hellfire Arrows (Same as before)
Molten Bullets (or Incendiary Shots)
Post-Plantera

Rocket II's

Dungeon
Same as Pure Environment with a few additions:
Post-Plantera

Nano Bullets

Rocket III's
In Biome Dungeon Chests
In addition to the above:

Explosive or High Velocity Bullets

Rocket II's or IV's


To make these changes more useful and worthwhile, Pots will appear around the world after beating any world-advancing boss.
The Wall of Flesh, your first Mechanical Boss, and Plantera fall under this category.

Uh, sure. Though the only thing I would suggest is make it for specific pots, not per biome. Reason: if a biome gets changed, it doesnt change the type of pot. Therefore you could break a corrupt pot in a converted chasm and still get unholy arrows. The pots still look corruption-like, so how would getting a holy arrow from it make sense at all?

I hope that made sense. Im not good at explaining things...

 

[Gotcha!]

I like it.
I'd also like getting ammo based on what weapons I'm carrying, although I wonder how hard that'd be to implement.
For example: Only seeing bullets drop when I have guns in my inventory and arrows when I'm carrying a bow. If I'm carrying both then drops would be randomized.

I think it would also be good if Pots became part of the converted tiles...

Terraria logic: upon being converted to corruption, clay jungle pots turn into rotten pieces of flesh. Or at least, if what you're saying is implemented that's the way it would be.

I don't see why not, its a good one and .....logically

 

[Can I Get Uhhh]

I say this is a pretty nice suggestion overall. I don't see a reason there shouldn't be such thing. Support.
