Other Underground Desert Update Ideas

So here it is,

My thoughts on this update and what could be added!

New Mobs: Pygmy Snake, Scarab
New NPC: The Archaeologist
New Items: Horus' Amulet, Canopic Vessel, Sekhem, Fossil, Sonar Device, Pendelum Needle, Seismoscanner
New Liquids: Oil
Info: Highly flammable, will catch fire and disappear if you use any fire type near it, try to use glowsticks instead?
Comment: Not trying to rip Starbound here, but Oil could be useful in this game for various new features to some items.

Pygmy Snake
Damage: Poison
Exists: Normal & Hardmode
Action: Spits Poison at the player.
Drops: Moon Pallete, Fossil, Pendelum Needle, Coins

Scarab
Damage: Normal (Latches onto player)
Exists: Normal & Hardmode
Action: Continious attacks on player while latched.
Drops: Fossil, Pendelum Needle, Coins

The Archaeologist (NPC)
Sells: Fossils, Sonar Device, and more possibly?

==== Items ====
Horus' Amulet (Accessory)
Increases minion capacity by 2.
Increases minion damage by 5%
Tooltip: The light of Horus guides you.
Normal Mode Item, Can be combined with other minion type accessories?

Canopic Vessel (Accessory)
Increases defense by 5.
Tooltip: The ancient life force protects you.
Normal Mode Item, could possible have additional effects.

Sekhem (Magic Weapon)
Damage: Magic
Creates magic damage, this item is a musical item in the real world. Perhaps it could inherit as such.

Fossil (Item)
This item can be used to craft armor types, items, or weapons. A resource used for some of the items mentioned in this article.

Sonar Device (Item)
This item is required with the Pendulum Needle to combine and create the Seismoscanner.

Pendelum Needle (Item)
This combined with the Sonar Device will create the Seismoscanner.

Seismoscanner (Useable / Consumable Item)
Tooltip: Feel the earth move and reveal itself!
This item, when used, reveals x16 the size of your current resolution of the World Map on your Minimap around you. The item can only be used once and must be crafted again.

I was thinking that a tool that could reveal the minimap world would be a great edition to the game, in addition to this, another combined item source with the Seismoscanner would allow you to create a "Satellite" that would reveal the entire map of the world? This is a questionable feature. They are focusing on Desert Biome, but the item comes from that location. This item cannot be obtained in normal mode of course, so hardmode is when you can purchase the items to create it or obtain it.

This brings some multiplayer element into this, ever since I thought about, oh lets make a new world for my a large sum of players, we noticed that we have to explore everything again just to find where everything is. We concluded that it might be best that an Item can be used that requires crafting and bit of work to reveal a map, and thus a full reveal requires additional items to craft that item as well. This would end having to search for certain biomes when you really need them most.

No details suggestions:
  • New Minion Weapon, Sandstorm Staff. Knocks enemies up and does damage?
  • New Mount that can dig quickly through sand types?
  • New Mount, Vulture Rider? Can fly indefinitely? Don't we have enough of those (UFO, DCU)?
  • More mobs.
  • More quality of life neutral mobs: Sand Lizard
  • The Desert Biome Chest, Key & Unique Weapon? (Yo-yo?)
    • Honestly not sure on this one, we have Melee, Magic, Summon, Range, what are we missing?
  • New Early Armors, Weapons for each class
  • More Accessories and combinations from craft-able items of that biome.

These are just rough drafts... so feel free to add your own suggestions.
