on the omnishard, it says , "Valuables shine in the dark." but the chests and regen ores don't shine. i was wondering if you could add them on the list.
That was actually intended. When the Omnishard says "Valuables shine in the dark," it's referring specifically to resources starting from gold, titanium, and all the gemstones. For treasure chests, there's a separate accessory called the Resonant Prong that helps you locate those. As for restore cells, adding them to the Omnishard's highlights would make it a bit too overpowered as it would pretty much eliminate the challenges of navigating darkness, since you'd essentially be detecting everything.
alright thank you! i personally think it would be a good idea and although the resonant prongs sense treasure i assume it's with sound because, "resonant prong." also i was wondering about that item, did you get inspiration from a book called Scythe for that name? i mainly am wondering about this because it's all i can think about lol.
It does play a sound and vibrate when treasure chests are nearby. Funny enough, I originally designed it as a kind of tuning fork, but calling it that felt a bit too non-fantasy, so I went with "resonant prong" instead. Resonance = vibrations, and a tuning fork has two prongs, so it felt like a fitting name. Does Scythe have resonance in it?
Haha, another vote for the restore finder amulet! I think giving such an accessory no other functions than to just find restore cells would be really interesting; the trade-off over winterheart in the lava would be a deliberate choice dependent on the choice of turtle. It would give Fern a fighting chance to beat hard mode, but it wouldn't make it any easier for the others.
This being said, I've wavered and am not sure it would be a good addition to the game. Sanguine Signet already exists, and adding the restore finder would make beating the game in normal mode even easier without significantly affecting hard mode
