Message in a Bottle

Postby GamingRAM » Sun Feb 10, 2019 5:38 pm

This was suggested a while back by another, but now that we have oceans it should be considered and slightly altered. viewtopic.php?f=48&t=46964&hilit

Now that we have oceans, messages in a bottle would be pretty neat! But not as just standard junk that washes up. When a M. Bottle is thrown into the water rather than washing up in junk like other garbage, it should generate as it's own object distinguishing itself from beach junk. It could also spawn in the water like a Peculiar Flotsam.

This would make coastal and sea life a little more interesting.

The item itself could either a reworked wine bottle (not sure how that'd work), or it's own item.

99.999~% of all messages would be 'ur a faget' or 'сука блять'

You can also drop parchment in the water and hope someone will fish it or pick it up from beach salvage.

The difference in having the bottle distinguish itself from beach salvage is that it WANTS to be found.

Here's a thought: Why not also make it a curio? Since it can come from anywhere in the world and go to anywhere it should be impossible to use this for your own self gain.

Just a little something for the friendly types to have fun with, making quality bottles for strangers with messages inside telling them to go kill themselves <3

That I could get behind. Although I do worry how many bottles people will throw into the sea hoping they flood the entire map with a new curio. Should be a little rare to find one.

Or alternatively just make the bottle a OK curio at best.

I like it! Right click a parchment on a wine bottle, throw it in the water. Seems cool.
