Frankenstein and his Monster Colony

[Flemmi]

Hi I have a little crazy idea, that is essentially a new game mode.

I think it would be interesting to have a colony where you can build "new" colonist from dead bodys. You would only start with one guy. your Frankenstein guy. and he could disessamble bodys of travelers and enemys to build his own colonist monster.
i got this idea becasue the game already have bodyparts and stuff. and when a colonist dies in fight he still got some usefull body parts.

The recycling process could have a success chance based on a skill.

that is the basic idea. other thing that could be built in or left out depending on how it should look at the end are

1. Monster with varying stats, and even specialized production to increase one skill from the start on.
2. repairing the monster if they get damaged instead of healing.
3. losing when you Frankenstein dies, or at least not be able to create new Colonist
4. having enemies getting a fear effect if melee-attacked by a monster
5. build weapons into the monster for more specialisation
6. having a Cooler/Freezer to store body parts.
7. having a special food system. like an energy system that has to be recharged.
8. The electricity to review a Monster should come from lightning strikes or transistor with a strong power generation behind them.


I hope you liked that idea or even think it is briliant. I would love to hear your responde in any case or improvments.

greetings

I like the idea of that as well it would be more useful than burying them but I do think it should only be with your enemies and your colonists should be buried rather than seeing their dead friend scaring them poop out of them.

well skivvy96, id you would do that in an regular game, it would ofcourse not work with your own colonist. but thats why i suggested that you start iwth only one colonist and he is creating them so he does not mind, seeing them.

I think this would be better suited as a mod than an alternate game mode. Maybe go over to the Mods subforum and suggest/request the idea?

Halloween isn't that far off. Maybe go for a halloween mod Add in some Voorhees hockey mask items n'stuff. There are a lot of talented guys here, I bet you could convince one of them.

^What this guy said. Never gonna happen in core game, so many more important things to do/add over niche side stuff like this. This is mod territory.
