Give us another DLC :)

[Radkiss1]

Hey everyone!!!

Yeah, I know, DLCs are a pretty unpopular way to squeeze more money out of players, but hear me out!!

Since the game launched, the devs have been busting their butts to keep bringing us new stuff and... FOR FREE! I think most of you reading this absolutely love this amazing game. I won’t even hesitate to pay for a new DLC—these devs deserve that kind of support.

I’ve even got a few suggestions for what the DLC could include:

- Energy Requirement for Living Compartments – An option in the settings to enable energy requirements for Living Compartments. Basically, if you turn it on, Living Compartments won’t produce light and air without power.
- More Emphasis on Terraforming – For example, if I have a ton of pressure but zero temperature, the process would halt until I raise the temperature, and vice versa. If you neglect one part of terraforming, the process just stops.
- Underwater Living Compartments – Please, please add this!
- Custom Paintings – It’d be awesome to have an easy way to create custom decorations. A folder where players can upload images, and then have them appear in the game as wall art. (I remember Sims made this super easy, and GTA did something similar with music.)
- Wall Painting – Let us change wall colors!
- Smaller Windows – If someone’s going for a cozy, home-like vibe in their base, the huge windows look weird. :D
- Dark Nights Setting – A toggle in the settings for “Dark Nights,” making it so players would need to start building “street” lamps.
- Wooden Furniture and a Fireplace – Maybe add a place where you can plant a tree, which then produces "wood" to craft wooden furniture. Not everything has to look so metallic.
- Astronomy – Add an astronomy tower where players can discover constellations. Unlocking them could reveal the location of a "platinum" loot chest.
- Mounts – Rideable animals!!!
- Pets – A little companion animal you can command: “Stay,” “Follow me,” “Allow inside,” etc. Plus, items for them like a bed, food bowl, etc.

So yeah, these are just some ideas for inspiration. :D I’ll happily pay for any DLC you release. Unlike some companies (glances at a certain one starting with E and ending with A), you’ve given us a ton of free stuff and haven’t tried to exploit your loyal community with garbage DLCs.

Underwater living compartments would be wonderful but I don't think the game engine will support it... love the ideas of pets and/or riding animals - and maybe draft animals? I'll bet the land sharks could haul a pretty big wagon-load, but on their backs instead of behind... and last but not least, I agree, I would gladly pay for a new DLC, or even extensions to the current ones, I do like the way these two think, and the new team members seem to have a similar mindset overall, gotta say by and large I do love their work.

I have no idea how the engine stuff works :D it is all just idea :D I am playing after some times, so I didn't see new deco yet, nor ride that rower :D

We already get a fireplace (freestanding) and it's pretty awesome looking. With the added bonus that you actually take damage if you stand on it!

And as for a dark night sky, have you SEEN the size of the satellites in the sky? Their albedo alone should keep the night brighter than our full moon!

I'm definitely up for more DLC but the key thing I'd hope for is a planet that's designed around the rover being better for the player to get around than the jetpack due to distances. Not that the jetpack wouldn't be useful but the rover takes you from area to area, and you use the jetpack to explore it (at least).

The current maps are both rover unfriendly and I suspect the rover system was only in development after they'd already got a long way through creating the Humble map.

And I'm fine with buying more DLC. I would have bought all the Fallout 4 DLC if they'd kept making it. It's bonkers that they stopped and just say, 'Oh, get our next Fallout game in 2035 because we have to do another Elder Scrolls game first'. No you don't man, you can release DLC to earn money, and you can employ more people, you massive weirdoes. I can't imagine Samsung saying, 'Sorry, we aren't doing new TVs for five years, we have to do phones, and then we have microwaves and fridges to do so how could we make our tanks and other products?'

I think a DLC really would be best served by being around a planet, and that is the *biggest* way you can increase replay ability of Planet Crafter, right?

Honestly I'd rather those of us who want that pay for a DLC, and things like most of your suggestions are funded by that and just released into the main game for everyone who has it (unless it's planet specific stuff obviously).

Oh and whining about DLC costing money and games costing money to develop and having to pay at some point for more development has always been super weird for me but then I've been buying games since the 1980s and have always been used to the concept that I get games when I pay money for them, and rarely are games entirely free and the ones that were, were things like Flash games or some devs project to learn coding or he was paid to create a game for a magazine you can code into your Spectrum in Basic. ;)

Just a guy and his wife make this game. Excellent work on the Humble DLC creator.

For me its like... Whatever I like something, something somebody else worked hard on, I am happy to pay for it. Like... you invested your time, your creativity and stuff... I love your product, take my money please! :D I am creating my own product too... not game tho, but I know how much time it is consuming.

Don't look now, pretty sure that's a different game engine, so, good idea, not workable, at least not without porting the game to another engine, a TON of work for only a few people, so I wouldn't plan on seeing it happen any time soon.

The coming update will add 2 new biomes and 3 endings to Planet Humble. It had no ending.
Check the news :)

Same here. I will gladly pay for more DLC. Many thanks to the developers for making a fun game even better with the new world!
