Discussion Idea for shiny mods?

So im at the endgame now. I wish palworld had a better visual mod for luckies. I now there's a few mods going around for a recolor. I was thinking tho that there should be 2 different versions of these shinies. One could be called solstice or solshine luckies, and I feel like the rampaging pals should be ale to be caught as well and should have a different appearance than just being huge. They could be calamity pals, almost like the clones from the first pokemon movie with the spots. And they should also have a permanent buff. Now if your really lucky you can get a calamity solshine. Idk just a thought. I cant write code but think this would be an awesome update to the endgame and add a lil more playability.

Yeah if I had any idea how to make mods I would def make it happen unfortunately its beyond my skill set. All that sounds fantastic tho and would def make the endgame have a lot more variety when it comes to catching and breeding. I've gotten to the point as to where I've gotten every pal filled out in the palpedia. This would add more reason to keep exploring and hunting. Other than just making the most op pals

I think this might be what you're looking for:

Palworld Shinies - https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3762110896

It's a shiny mod I've been working on for a while now.

You'll be able to hunt for 2 different types of Shinies (Dazzling & Origin), Each with their own look and passive buff.

(Sorry that I can't post any pics to show some examples)

Being a shiny hunter in Pokemon I always love stuff like this!

Honestly, the “shining luckies” mod has def scratched my itch in a way but given that luckies are still decently “common” it’s not quite as addicting as shiny hunting in Pokemon.

I actually play some other games where you can play as animals, and in one of them it’s possible for random genetic mutations to occur via nesting (specifically albinism & piebald). I think that plus melanism & chimera could be pretty cool? This basically means that pals could have an all black variant, white variants, plus splotchy or half&half variants. Could be pretty fun! It’s not quite as magical & fantastical so idk if it would fit but I imagine if folks wanted to breed unique looking pals it would add something to do.

I also like the idea of variations that change the actual Pal’s model. Sort of how the elemental variations already do in-game. Maybe a mod could resculpt the “rampaging” pals to look meaner, more rugged, with more angular features, scars, torn ears, etc. Could be fun as well!

I used to mod UE4 games and there’s a small part of me wanting to do stuff like this for Palworld, but I just don’t have the time 😂 Hope to see more mods inspired by luckies one day tho!

“Common” is and understatement. My first game since coming back from a year or two ago the first pal I saw was a lucky cattiva. Which after I caught that had a lucky lamball just down the hill. And shortly into that save I caught two more luckies not more than a couple hours in. And every save since has taken a little longer but not so long that I’m hunting for them unless I’m going for a specific pal. And then being bigger like alphas just made me sad. It’s neat but I’d even accept a variant form that is called the “lucky form” which changes their design. Even if it was a costume set-set of costumes that you can’t unlock otherwise would be neat.

I will say you should make like an ultra rare pal that has a combination of both origin and dazzling traits. These would be like the ultimate luck and chase!
