[Spoilers] Golden dung
I started a world recently and thought I would turn on the starter chest for a change and there have been some odd things I don't remember seeing before. The golden dung in the starter chest also appears to have an id unique from that of crafted dung.
Does anyone have information on this?

Re: [Spoilers] Golden dung
I'm not so sure about the differing ID thing, but I have been experimenting with golden dung for a while now and I think I might have something.
I'm not entirely sure I'm not just imagining it, but it seems like having it on the hotbar very slightly increases 'luck' for a number of things. I've been noticing a slightly increased seed drop from tall grass and animals more often dropping the high end of their random chance numbers. I've also been seeing more mobs spawning with rare items like armor and enchanted bows, but that might just be confirmation bias on my part.

Re: [Spoilers] Golden dung
I've been wondering when people would start discovering this aspect of the game.
One of the hardest parts of my "job" is putting new stuff in then waiting until you guys start discovering it without spoiling anything :)

Re: [Spoilers] Golden dung
This must be why we have the crafting recipe then, everything makes so much sense now!
Re: [Spoilers] Golden dung
Well FlowerChild is always careful not to add anything which would be inaccessible to people playing on old worlds. Plus the hotbar thing ties in well with the recent changes to requiring arrows on the hotbar affecting your bow.jakerman999 wrote:This must be why we have the crafting recipe then, everything makes so much sense now

It does fit with the 'hotbar spaces as a resource' subtheme that's been emerging lately. I wonder if the bonus stacks?Six wrote: the hotbar thing ties in well with the recent changes to requiring arrows on the hotbar affecting your bow.

Re: [Spoilers] Golden dung
Well, it's not really a new theme. It kinda goes all the way back to the Mattock and Battle Axe saving hot bar slots through combining tools. I'm just trying to provide more pros and cons to different kinds of equipment now so that it's a more active consideration.jakerman999 wrote: It does fit with the 'hotbar spaces as a resource' subtheme that's been emerging lately.

I wasn't expecting that. Please forgive me for thinking gold encrusted poop was a gag.

Guys . . . remember the booties. This sounds very suspicious to me esspecially because it would encourage people to afk with golden dung in there hot bar next to their mob trap.

Re: [Spoilers] Golden dung
If this is actually true, what surprises me most is that having a starter chest actually makes your life easier in the early game.... Who would have guesses FC was so nice?
I think he bet most players who did that would just be pissed of and throw the poop away immediately, and scream "Haha, noob" to them.

Re: [Spoilers] Golden dung
Actually my luck turned once I took it of my hotbar. While it was on I spent half a day punching grass and got seven hemp seeds. I removed it while caving and I have not picked up a new hemp seed since. It is entirely possible that there is a hidden flag somewhere to make this a one time bonus or even a two edged sword.Gabecraft1234 wrote:Guys . . . remember the booties.

Yes, if you put one on top of some quartz and surround it in diamonds it lets you focus magical energies on equipment. ;-)TheGatesofLogic wrote:so.... do ancient manuscripts have any bonuses?

This is really funny because I was saving my turd just so that when I had a gigantic base I could make a shrine dedicated to my gold plated turd and put it in an item frame.
