An actual dragon

Postby Händler » Sun Jan 04, 2026 1:07 pm

Living inside caves. A cave dragon. The first of its kind.

When you dig out an entire cave area, very rarely there should be a dragon digged out in that area.

The dragon ought to always guard a literal dragon-themed treasure chest.

The dragon should also fulfill the following requirements:
- He shall look immensely retarded and gimmicky such that nobody will take him seriously upon discovery, similar to trolls, but with a less sexy butt.
- Upon getting into range, he shall periodicially spit fire with directional aim in a manner where if the line/cone of fire hits any wall, it bounces off of the walls and thereby proliferates itself to engulf any and all narrower mining pathways with fire, only stopping when it reaches an open area. A fire which will slowly destroy all mine supports and even mine holes in its path on hit.


Beating the dragon should yield a pat on the back and dying by his hands should, instead of the usual game over screen, display a graceful yet endearing "Thank you for your service" message instead.

That is all. Thank you for reading.

Neither are trolls, dryads or the ability to consume a cabinet of cheese without farting once. Your point being...?

Do we not each have our own metaphysical dragons to lance? Persistence through drudgery, apathy... the dangers of interpersonal relations throughout this digital biome?

This has been suggested to death. Jorb said in the last dev stream that an all powerful beast like a dragon would just get "abused". like most large factions do with everything.
My point being, dont count on it happening ever.

Not the foggiest what you mean.
Alluding to the possibility of more dragons of different kinds to be added in the future.

ringofbrodgar dot com/wiki/Opium

"While you are actively smoking Opium, sometimes Opium Dragons will spawn; when you reach 100% of the Chasing the Dragon buff, they can spawn as many as three at a time. They tend to immediately dart away from you, not like other flying bugs, so it is easiest to catch them while riding a horse in a large, flat area like a field. Dragons can go through walls so it is not recommended to smoke inside a house if you want to catch them.
Smoking Opium will make the game world look purple and wobbly.
To get 'crazy high' on Opium, you need 0.06 kg of Opium while using a Bull Pipe.
To use Opium for medicinal purposes, keep track of a small point counter in the corner of the 'Chasing the Dragon' buff. This point counter is how many possible points of wounds that you could remove. Every now and then (typically a few mintues), a point will be deducted from the counter and used to reduce a point from a wound that can be treated with Opium. This will happen so long as you retain the Chasing the Dragon buff. Be wary, as any remaining points on your counter that you still have when the buff disappears will become Dragon Bite wounds.
Therefore, it is advised to plan the smoking session in way that you can extend the amount of time Chasing the Dragon buff lasts; smoke some amount to get the buff and counter going, then switch to only periodically taking puffs out of the pipe to maintain the buff while counter ticks down and heals/transforms your wounds.
As long as you don't let the counter get too high, opium should be relatively safe. However even one point of "Dragon's Bite will give you hefty -10 constitution penalty which can easily kill less developed characters (freshly spawned character would die from constitution reduced to zero) or severely wounded moderately developed character."
