Comprehensive slime breeding

Postby overtyped » Mon Sep 24, 2018 7:03 pm

Slimes do not eat or drink instead slimes will have 5 different bars. They can also only live underground

Love, endurance, balance, maturity and energy
-The balance bar can go from -10,000 to +10,000
-When the balance bar is positive, you can increase love
-When it's negative it can increase endurance
-To increase maturity, it must be between -1000 and +1000 in the balance bar
-The energy bar decreases when a slime interacts with an object, so you can't just stuff all the slime objects into a pen. Energy regenerates over time naturally.

This will introduce 5 different slime objects for slime breeding
-The slime poker, that decreases positivity(aka negativity) (slimes hate being poked)
-the slime petter, that increases positivity ( A feather duster attached to a wooden box)
-The Slime bath, that increases maturity (slime absorbs water to groowwwww!!)
-Slime zapper, that increases endurance ( basically something like a carpet, the friction gives them a zap)
-The slime replica, that increases love (even slimes need someone to cuddle with)

Slimes cannot breed until all 3 bars are full. This will require you to put different breeding objects in the slime pen. To make this not too cancerous, you will need to be able to see the slimes 5 bars from a distance, so clicking a slime will show you the 5 bars without having to run near to them.

Once a slime breeds, it will lose 50% of it's love and stamina.
The slime objects will all have durability, and the higher the quality, the longer the durability. When a slime interacts with one of these objects, 1 durability of the slime object is lost. Ofc the slime objects would have enough durability for at least 20 full breedings at quality 10. The difficulty is meant to come from having to pay attention to what object your slimes need.

To make these slimes worthwhile to breed, they will have to give a different curio compared to wild cave slimes. One that is worth it enough to go through all this. Also note, that it's probably impossible for anyone to bot this.
Early world exploit: Put your hearthfire inside a cave, then hold shift to position a claim right in front of a cave. After 8 hours the claim will be unbreakable. Since your hearthfire is inside the cave, you can still get back inside, and leave, but nobody will be able to enter, effectively making you unraidable for the first 3-7 days. Enjoy

Sevenless: We already know real life has some pretty shitty game mechanics, it's why we're here instead.
Avu: The end is near it has finally come to pass: I agree with Lunarius...

Meh. So many games has this. I don't have any idea for this personally, but I would like to see something different than just another breeding mechanic...

many games have eating and building too, should we remove those from haven because it's been done?

the fun comes from managing them properly, and the slimes won't starve to death if you leave them, since they eat like.. rocks and stuff and filter feed the air or whatever they do.
