Top 3 Gripes, worms, Lukki, and gold nugget timers.

[Mr. Damocles]

Right in the title.

Worms angering the gods by digging through Holy Mountain, totally screws you over when you have to deal with it, and Stevari being there at every HM checkpoint from that point on to destroy you.

Lukki also do this, but by digging up from the Underground Jungle straight into a HolyMountain safe zone. I've had runs where 4 of them were eating their way from bottom up into the HM and set off ANGERED THE GODS, and I get stomped by either them, or Stevari.

There needs to be at least a cooldown for ANGERING THE GODS if you manage to beat Stevari.
Please..

And the issue with Gold Nuggets having such a short timer, why not just turn them into powdered gold instead, or increase the time before they disappear?

Other than those 3 things, I'm having tons of fun with this game.

luckily enough, i've been able to mostly avoid worms eating the holy mountain, but entering the jungle is an almost guarantee that at least one lukki is going to eat it

i have had the acid eye dudes melt through a holy mountain and tick off the gods at least once though

it would be nice if the worm crystal somehow also repelled lukki, though i'm not entirely sure how they'd implement that

The disappearing gold creates a kind of urgency. You have to decied if it's worth to get
yourself into trouble. You will still be able to amass some serious coin. Even more so,
if you come into some digging spells or energy orbs.

Just use mods. There are mods for both disabling angry gods due to monsters and for disabling it entirely. There are also mods for both extending the life of gold nuggets and for making them permanent.

I don't personally mind angry gods anymore since it's a lot more rare than it used to be. I do use a double gold lifetime mod, though. There's still an urgency to collect it but it's not a suicidal urgency.

There's a mod out there called something like Quality of Life that pretty much solves all 3 of these problems.

Adds a physical barrier that pushes worms and Lukki away from the Holy Mountain (at least if the crystal is intact) and make gold automatically picked in a certain range around you.

For the gold part, there are also other mods that increase the gold timer duration or even remove it entirely.

While we wait for a possible fix, that's your solution right there to have a better experience with the game.
