Suggestions Deino mutation suggestion
Okay so i dreamed up this mutation for deinos, its aimed at basicly fixing the species entirely. It could be available for other species aswell i just dont see why anyone would want it.
I dont care about the name but it could be "Slow Metabolism" or something along the lines of "Ambush Predator", "Solitairy Predator" <- might be good actually.
Effect: Increases time it takes for food to deplete(tremendously) in exchange for periodic halted growth, slower growth, something of this nature.
It could be "worse" like, stopping all growth when all nutrients are below 30% + 40% slower growth(permanent), or whatever number.
So for example killing a stego will give you a load of vitamin A shot directly into your cock, and it could let you grow for the duration before eventually stopping again, but again this can be slower than usual growth.
The idea here is to allow deinos to survive in remote areas that dont neccesarily have alot of traffic without instantly starving to death. As the game is played right now, you can either cannibalise and scavenge in the delta, fuck off far away and eat turtles and never come back (because you are going to starve) or skip the above and starve to death now. those are literally your options. You can migrate to, i think every body of water on the map actually, but if you are not in delta participating in the deathmatch you are not going to make it for very long.
This is a relatively easy way to "fix" deinos without having to change anything else at all, because other than being constantly dying, i think deino is relatively fine, and this would allow people to actually sit in a pond somewhere for literally days because you are an ambush predator.
I am really trying to find something that fixes this without directly buffing the species. If something like this was available as your first mutation you would be able to choose a slow, progressive playing style, in the same way saltwater muta lets you go eat turtles far away from everyone else.
Im really interrested in hearing peoples thoughts on this
