Mounts

Do you think that's something we'd ever see? I see this game gets pretty big updates with new mechanics and mobs I think adding the ability to ride an ant or something would be really fun. Also I'd love to see grass hoppers add to the game

IMo, I hope not. Pets are enough trouble.

u have the zipline they are more enough to travel,wouldnt like the mounts tho,the combat system makes the game fun perfect blocking is so satisfying :D

i feel like any kinda mount you could bring along would break the game one way or the other either it wont be able to defend itself with how hostile the yard it it will die very quickly and make it worthless orrrr it'll be basically bringing your own bug to a fight which depending on what it is it'll be to strong can you imagine what itll happen if you can "tame" something as easy as a lady bug itd make most of the yard trivial because most of the bugs dont do very much damage conspired to there hp pools

It's kinda pointless to suggest here but just making mounts you can use to carry your stuff or move small structures would be great. Make them non-combat sure, but riding a roly poly or a moth around to get places in end-game would be rad.

If you wanted maximum feature creep you could do something like a mobile storage / crafting station for big bug-mounts like the roly poly. Even just being able to load up a few pallets would be pretty rad.

I'm guessing they won't do this because it'd be pretty complicated to make work, and because many areas just aren't designed for big critters to navigate, but it's something I think could be really satisfying if well-handled.

other ideas would be a system like certain other games where you can whistle or something to summon your mount.

To address the game-breaking aspect. Just make them a pure utility thing. these should be like, horses, or things to help you mine rocks and grass in bulk, not combat buddies.

With regard to pets. They're irritating because they're killable by default, and get stuck in places any time you die, not even getting into glitches like the time my aphid became permanently trapped inside a rock while teleporting to follow me.

They're a fun idea but the actual implementation has had more annoyances than positives for me so far. Would prefer they do something less complicated like hang out at base being cute.
