Remove whale (meat)

Post by SnuggleSnail »

I fucking hate the whale mini-game, or at least doing it multiple times a world.
it's still bottable. It's still unfun to do endlessly.
it still gives a yuge advantage to autists who will actually tryhard whales.
The meat is still OP.


That said, whaler's jackers are rly fkn good. So is the wax. So are the gildings. Enough that people would definitely still farm whales to some degree exclusively for the non-meat rewards, but nobody would get a huge advantage from eating 10 whales.

The whaling mechanic would also actually be fun if you only had to do it a few times per world per village. Yeet the slabs of meat entirely, or make the meat bad/worthless?


(Same to a much lesser extent for trolls, TBH. It's much more clear-cut with whales than trolls so we shouldn't muddy the water but like lol basically same 4 trolls xdxd)

Whales giving wax is great.
Whales giving materials for the Whaler Jacket is great.
Whale bones for the Whalebone Clasps is great.
Hight quality bones for the industry is great.
High quality meat can be used for mulch, which is great.

The fucking FEPs provided by the meat are still annoyingly op.

I've only read the OP after writing everything above. The fact that everyone has the same opinion on whales should give you a clue guys.

My stance on this issue has traditionally been to make it so that whale meat is almost like "poverty food" in terms of FEPs but you get 10-100 times the amount of it per whale. However this might not interact well with the Mulching aspect.

Nerf whale meat already, obnoxiously overpowered retarded piece of shit that we can't even reliably spawn any more unless we know the cringe exploit to mass spawn them, which will not be reported by the people who know it, AND I DON'T KNOW IT OTHERWISE I WOULD'VE REPORTED IT MYSELF lol.

OP is an idiot. Whale meat might be OP, but it's balanced by the spawning mechanics being obfuscated. What would the point of removing content be? + fairy dust + clearly not bottable + cry more botlords + L + ratio + yass jorb slay qween

Bump, but also if you fixed the feasting system it would matter a whole lot less

Also delete this stupid barnacle mini-game bullshit, just make them spawn randomly and not on the other side of the map that is too big to reliably check (Was it like 4-5 whales at most in the world at any time?).
Barnacle mini-game just makes it worse for everyone (botters and non-botters)
