IS based on a dream I had

[Dr. Ethan Kaatz]

So I had a dream where there was an entity, perhaps from the same dimension as the leyak that leant more into the horror aspect

The entity, which in my dream was called the crying meat man, would show up to players bases and require you to stealth. There would be signs to indicate he was going to appear

First off there would be a very faint crying in the background that would last for a few minutes, after a few minutes pass the crying would get louder and the light of the base would start to flicker. After 10 or so minutes the power would go out and the CMM (Crying meat man) would spawn a certain distance away from the nearest powered crafting bench with a player nearby and would slowly start to walk towards them while crying, you have to stay out of line of sight otherwise he attacks you and you have to wait for him to leave your base.

I haven't thought about ways to prevent it happening so people don't get frustrated with it in the same way they did the leyak but there could be a new type of craftable furniture for the player to hide in, like lockers, rubbish bins etc

I actually like this idea. But I cannot imagine chunks of the playerbase not going absolutely off the wall bonkers if they had to deal with this.

This would force decisions about base construction, which is cool to me. Would the entity be invincible or just hard to kill? Would it insta-kill players or just be Spooky until it beats you to death? Does he give useful materials upon death/interaction. Does something we already have in game hurt/hinder like the Xray lamp?

I think one of the easiest ways to 'prevent' it would be to make it optional, part of something you really have to go looking for to trigger it, but the reward(whatever we would get from having to deal with it lol) would be worth the effort. And then outside of that Containment is Containment, at least if Xrays have any effect here. Or just, another type of Containment if nothing else lol.

sound cool. But i dont see a way for this IS in game. Mostly cz youll REALLY need to plan you base to perform any kind of stealth. Most places are NOT bad for this. And i dont really see it as part of Flesh dimension fauna.... If this dimension has flora at all.
