About the PR

  • Reverts robust harvest 1984 #17331
  • adds a bunch of functionality to the diona's polymorphed tree state.
    • A single functional hand
    • Complex Interaction with nearby items
    • A PDA equip slot
    • Dragging (the tree is still anchored)
    • modified sprites
  • Reduces Robust Harvest Polymorph threshold while also removing the OD effect.
    • To balance out the missing OD effect, a new effect was added where reaching a certain amount of RH flushes the chemical from the system.
    • The cooldown between tree polymorphs was reduced from 2 minutes to 30 seconds (starting from when they return to their humanoid form)

Why / Balance

It's a crime their advertised gimmick of turning into a tree was made nigh impossible! I also think these changes to RH should be enough to encourage Diona players to mess around with one of the two gimmicks listed in their guidebook without feeling dumb for trying. The changes made to the tree are for fun and should not impact balance in any major way, since the only way they could defend themselves is by pulling a grenade they still had nearby.

Technical details

Renamed McUrist Plant to Urist McPlant (another PR already covered this, now redundant)
In polymorph.yml reduced the cooldown between polymorphs from 2 and a half minutes to 30 seconds
In botany.yml removed the OD effect from robust harvest.
New flora_treesdiona.rsi

Added new DionaTree entity in flora.yml
Added a new tree prototype called DionaTree, which will be the new polymorph target. Identical to a FloraTree but with some added components to let it do stuff like pull objects and interact with nearby machines.

Changelog
🆑 Tuerk

  • add: "Diona Trees" now have modified sprites.
  • tweak: Diona need less Robust Harvest to explode into a tree. Check the chemical's guidebook entry!
  • tweak: "Diona Trees" now have one hand which can hold and interact with nearby objects. They are still unable to attack.
  • tweak: "Diona Trees" no longer drop their PDA when transforming.

I would have liked to combine this with a vomit effect and a pop-up, but need help figuring out how to couple the AdjustReagent and Vomit effects to happen at the same time.

Would you consider adding a ComplexInteraction component to DionaTree? Someone suggested it on discord, and I think it would be kinda funny for diona trees to be budget mothership cores. I was gonna PR it myself until I found this PR

I see the vision. If i were to do that though, it would be cool if someone could supply a new tree sprite that's a large rooted diona! Something that's like this:

Where you can see it's an oversized diona gestalt instead of a normal tree.

So I went back myself and am slightly editing a copy of the normal tree sprites to make them a little more... unique

Diona.Trees.but.epic.mp4

The goal was to make each tree look like they are made up of multiple nymphs that have gone out of control

I am NOT an artist so if anyone is able to help out with this I would be infinitely appreciative
