It would still serve the same basic function and teamplay, but still be substantially different with its own pros and cons.
For example, instead of his normal drills, driller could have some kind of drill gun that quickly (or at least automatically) creates a tunnel in a single direction. However, they could still be replaced with alternate tools that serve the same basic function. For traversal tools (and maybe the flaregun), arguments generally revolve around how using them together is essential to the teamwork of the game. Replacing them with something completely different would only have positive effects. Satchel Charges for instance are barely even used at all in gameplay. Utility tools however can EASILY be replaced. There are some compelling reasons not to make new traversal tools (though there are ways around that as well). These are separate from the "traversal tools" zipline, drills, grappling hook, and platform gun. "Utility tools" are the shield generator, Satchel Charge, Flaregun, and Turrets. Not any more than there are "good reasons" not to add any new weapons.Īlthough first we need to clarify definitions. There are good reasons to not add new utility tools. It's been pretty explicitly stated in multiple places that all of these are new grenade options. Freezing over while riding a zipline (for example, from a blizzard) will force the Dwarf to disconnect from it, but no fall damage will occur.Originally posted by derpykat5:They aren't new utility tools. Macteras and walking enemies that can shoot are more likely to target players on ziplines. If a Dwarf takes too much damage while riding a zipline they will get knocked off the cable and fall. The travel speed on a zipline is not inhibited by movement-slowing effects such as Sticky Goo, earthquakes in the Magma Core or – most importantly – while carrying heavy objects such as Gemstones ( Aquarq, Compressed Gold, Jadiz etc.), Mini-M.U.L.E. This speed boost increases by 30 for every degree of steepness, up to a total of 1245 at the max un-upgraded angle of 32°, and 1425 at the max upgraded angle of 36°.
The base travel speed on a zipline is 175, which increases by a base of 110 while holding while moving down the zipline. This will significantly increase your speed as you quickly slide down the cable. In other words, if a zipline is steeply angled, going down a zipline will make you go mildly faster, and vice versa, with the addition of "releasing the brake" while going down a zipline by holding ("W" by default) if the zipline is at a minimum angle of 5°. Additionally, this can be used to escape a Mactera Grabber.Īdditionally, the sliding speed is relative to the angle of the zipline. Holding will automatically snap to the nearest zipline when one comes into reach, eliminating the need to spam or to wait for the pop-up. Once deployed, they can be used an infinite amount of times and it is possible to reverse directions when riding one by pressing ("E" by default). Ziplines are invincible – they will not be targeted by enemies nor will they break when the ground beneath them is destroyed. The line connects from the point of impact to an elevated mount placed at the user's end. The zipline will then shoot out quickly and can be used near-instantly after firing. To fire a zipline, the user must be standing on solid ground and aim the reticle at terrain within the length and angle limitations.
