Devices for Gathering/Crafting
Major issue I see with Xsyon is I feel like I'm watching green bars a lot.
Like fishing. You click, wait 20s, click again. Repeate until you have enough fish.
I would like to be able to feel like I'm playing the game more. How I though about doing this was more devices.
Like a fish trap. You set up a fish trap. You leave it sit for 1 or 2 game days, come back pull out the fish.
Another example is cooking.
You set up 20 or 100 meat to cook in a grill or smokehouse (already in game), come back after 10min (Real Time), your meat is cooked you pull it out.
Another example is a workbench. Allowing you maybe to craft faster.
The key to these things are you are able to go do other things. I'm not saying everything should be set up on devices.
You can also make it so when you are pulling the resources out it would give you the skill/stats of those things. Like say a fish trap holds 8 fish. When you pull it out you would get 8 fishing uses.
This could save a lot of time and make it a lot more fun. Right now its about 20s per fishing try. To get 8 fish it would take about 3mins.
Vs doing the fish trap it would only take like 20s of play time but hours in real time. So you can't gather massive amounts of resources like this, but it would help in the fun of the game.
I think a lot of people get turned off of Xsyon because the sheer number of green bars you have to watch all the time. Without thought or moving.
With this system, you are moving around, planning stuff, picking up things. It feels like you are doing stuff, not grinding.
