1: I dunno how to feel about suggesting something to a “dead chat”
2: I feel like this change would be super difficult to do because of the changing in enemy behavior, possible respiting, detecting player states, etc.
I was thinking of an idea for the Jelly Slimes by Tobais1595 to effectively put the slimes into certain “combat” types rather than just sit next to you and fatten you up. Maybe something like an addon to the slime mod that fundamentally but optionally changes the slimes (can have the regular slimes if you’d like). The big change as mentioned would be that being in a slime’s proximity will no longer fatten you up (the slime just hops around you and makes you gain weight even if you do not manually eat it), but instead are dividend into different roles/archetypes
Red: Charge in at full speed towards the player. If they manage to touch the player/get into the player hitbox, they’ll instantly stuff themselves as if the player had manually nomed away their health bar away
Blue: Unlike the other slimes this one does not directly fatten you. Instead it clings to your legs to slow you down. You can manually eat them like normal to get out of the bind though it will fatten like normal.
Yellow: Will sacrifice some of their health bar to lob part of their slimy self at you. Is far more fattening than normal to balance out the fact that it can be dodged, miss, blocked, etc.
Green: Function the same as red slimes, but with a twist. If the player’s vore option is enabled, they will actually be devoured as if they were an npc to provide a much slower fattening along with taking up 3 times the stomach capacity (1 vored green slime = 3 NPCs in stomach space; can still be involuntary vored even if the player is at 100% capacity, though they cannot shove themselves into the player stomach if the player is at 200% capacity). If the vore option is not on, it will be just like the red slimes with the instant-stuffing.
Cyan: Is capable of creating decoys that make it seem like there are more slime than they actually are. However these fake slimes will have a slight “glitch” to them as you approach them or vice versa. In addition just like blue slimes these slimes will directly fatten you though they can be gobbled up if the player wants to gain more weight.
Purple: Has tentacles that can force-feed players like the feeding tank props, though it does take away the slime’s health bar. Will also slow the player down while being fed this way. For balence, only one purple slime can force feed a player at a time so that the player could eliminate other purple slimes before force feeding the player.
