Pet System v1 and forward

[StopItStepBro]

I know the pet system is labeled as “V1” so it’s definitely possible it could be retouched later on. I don’t know exactly how but I was initially thinking “oh the peccaries would be good” but in hindsight, seem tedious to cram into spaces to farm. That being said, maybe the pet system could remain restricted to the pests but instead there could be more variants for item farming, specifically for cooking, like you have a pest that can drop carbuncle mushrooms or milk sacs but only 1 per pest. Not exactly trying to encourage a whole “farming” mechanic with them but it could be interesting to see them be used that way. Maybe a “pen” that’s restricted to 3 at a time?

A mere suggestion for sure but I can also see how such “farming” mechanics could be hard to implement in a balanced way.

As a side note, I could also so the pet system extending to the upcoming fishing mechanic with the possible addition of a “fish tank”, whether that be for resource farming or pure decoration.

The V1 Pets System could definitely be expanded upon but I don't think it should be restricted to only Pests. I really like the idea of a "farming" mechanic where players could tame creatures to harvest their resources. If we ever get the ability to have Peccaries as pets maybe players could choose to evolve their Pests into Peccaries?

Maybe players could craft some type of Inhibitor Syringe using Anteverse materials that prevents Pests from evolving.

A new type of Pest that produces mushrooms is a neat idea, maybe it could be called a Spore Pest. (If I recall correctly there is a Mushroom Peccary in the game) Spore Pest could attack by jumping and releasing spore clouds similar the Electro Pests found in the Cascade Labs. Wearing a gas mask, or hazmat suit would protect you from the Spore Pest's spore attack.

A new type Pest that would produce Milk Sacs would also be a neat idea maybe it could be called a Blue Pest. I'm not sure what abilities the Blue Pest would have, maybe an acid attack like the Blue Peccaries have?

Maybe the different types of Pests could evolve into their respective Peccaries? I love the idea of making an alien dairy farm using Pests or Peccaries. I also really like the idea of a fish tank being added as it would make for an awesome base decoration.
