dreamcatchers please fix

Postby maze » Mon Feb 02, 2026 8:18 pm

there is an old thread where DonVelD suggest wall dreamcatchersLink, what reminded me we need to talk about Dreamcatchers.

I'm going to go over the problem, and then my suggested change + flavor addition

The problem:
Currently dreamcatchers are a largely botted resources, they log on they pick a dream they leave them in a chest/cupboard they log off~ repeat ever hour till cupboards are full.
We then have typically 40 maybe 60 dream catchers in a basement, what honestly is ugly and useless.

Dream are mostly for Curios, boosting their quality by a small amount or holding them back.

What needs to change:
We should not need more then 1 dream catcher.
I think J&L rather people not be able to make infinite dreams. (in a suggestion a dream catch should just not have a timelimit to giving more dreams).
Dreams should not need to be botted hourly to fill a cupboard.

My suggestion:
1) make dream Catchers a tool/object that needs to be used (think meat grinder) when crafting curios.
+) Possibly give them a raidus (the size of a large house room) that gives a buff "in presence of a dream catcher" that allows you to craft items needing dreams.
2) Still allow dream catchers to give dreams for the use of making claims and H-fires.
3) Allow dreamcatchers to be removed from their stand and make it so they can be hung on a light stand, a wall or a Lantern Post-Rope (Wiki).

Bumping this again because jorb is active and always reading.
Mainly because dreamcatchers just need to be fix and not because the idea itself.

I like the idea of making it a crafting station, but simply making dreams infinite would be easier to implement

I also think it's easier to increase the number of dreams a dreamcatcher yields, but I like the idea of ​​being able to hang it on walls or other places.

A dreamcatcher looks good, and I often place it around the house as a "timepiece" or "pendulum," but having too many of them doesn't look as nice and takes up too much space. So I could hang them around the house as a "clock" or near the bed.

Perhaps the recipe for the dreamcatcher itself should be reworked so that the stand could be made separately, and the dreamcatcher itself could be made separately. And you could hang several dreamcatchers on one stand—3-5—connecting them into a chain or like ornaments on a Christmas tree or something else.
This would make it easier to implement the idea of ​​being able to hang the dreamcatcher somewhere.

I'd also like to be able to build a dreamcatcher from different materials, allowing its appearance to vary accordingly. Bones, metal, glass, jewelry - the more the better.
