post your weird challenge run ideas here

[fluffy buny]

i started a save recently where i decided that pal spheres are banned, and i can only get pals via cages, eggs, or merchants. i probably won't end up breeding for eggs either and just rolling with whatever the RNG decides to give me

my first pal ended up being Mau Cryst, gotten shortly after making the world and beelining for the syndicate camp near the first tower

my most promising pal so far is a Dinossom i hatched from a large verdant egg, who happened to roll both Swift + Ferocious

leveling up takes quite a bit more time, but in some ways it's refreshing to be able to do it by just going ham on bosses without worrying about capture bonuses and stuff. my pals also end up out-leveling me without fail because of this

the PETA playthrough.

never capture a pal.

never injure a wild pal.

never eat a pal, note since berries spawn off that one goat bush pal that also means berries are banned. probably means no food production until wheat lettuce and tomatoes.

feel free to kill, capture, enslave, or traffic humans.

if you ever end up with a pal, probably through hatching eggs or freeing from cages you must equip a butcher knife and euthanize it. PETA believe animals are better off dead than living as pets, even if said pet life is lavish and luxurious. that's why they euthanize 80+% of all pets in their shelters.
note, this DOES mean you can kill the tower bosses, as their pals also count as pets,

One sphere, one pal run.

You only get one sphere and only catch one pal. Whatever pal you catch with that sphere is the only pal you're allowed to use the whole game.

Stuck with a Lamball with only negative traits? Too bad, you're stuck with it. Sphere bounce off, misses, or doesn't catch? Too bad, looks like you're now Palless till the next game.

One sphere, one pal, final destination.

No base run. Be a nomadic homeless, craft only the bare minimum of facilities when needed and swiftly destroy them afterwards.

[Mokona]

Meat based food only with max hunger degen. Might actually make the "survival" part of the game exist. This includes feeding pals too

[Reaptor]

Fists only. No pals, no armor.

Except for anti-cold/anti-heat, but only cloth variants and thermal underwear allowed.

[Butcher]

Permadeath, hard difficulty, no base, no crafting, no pal capturing, no prisoner pals.

Idea - get money to buy guns, armor and pals from desert or fishing settlement.

It would be funny if the player also could catch 'em all ailments: depression, cold, fracture, sprain, overfull, ect. At the same time, on the same player character.

getting to 'end game' on an official server before your character is reset.

Capture everyone on your team with Pal Spheres. Once you've accomplished this task, butcher your new people-Pals into food.

Palyent Green. It's made of people.
