Among the spoilers for 1.4.5 is an expansion to the Create World menu & the ability to choose which secret seeds are thrown into the world before generating it. While it's yet to be implemented yet, I suggest for that ability to be made more granular so that we can pick and choose which individual features from certain seeds are enabled in the world. An example use case would be to start with double evil biomes so that you don't need to import it from another world & terraform or deal with the rest of the Drunk seed's shenanigans.
What I mean by "Features" are mechanics exclusive to those secret seeds. Examples:
- Hunger & dying in darkness from The Constant
- Spawning in the Underworld due to Don't Dig Up
- Starting with an NPC other than the Guide
- Different loot pools
- Different world gen (i.e. from Not the Bees, No Traps, & Drunk)
- Different music tracks
- Different AI (i.e. from Legendary mode)
This would let us really tailor our worlds to our tastes. It'd let us mix and match them better too. One could say that it's excessive for the Create World UI however, so at the very least I suggest adding options in the .wld files that let us toggle features with programs like TEdit. If it does make it into the UI, then I also recommend signposting it with a warning that this section is for advanced uses only, and that silly things will come from messing around there.
Wanna die from darkness but not have to eat? Wanna spawn with the Demolitionist on Not the Bees for easy Beenades? Wanna try GetFixedBoi without any of the tweaks that hold the combination together? Now you can with our patented Secret Seed Dissector! Seeds sold freely
