McBonkhead 83 Posted January 21, 2014 (edited) +1 for eating shrooms. The effects must be as realistic as possible for a game like this. Most of the psychological effects of mushrooms would be a challenge to reproduce in-game: Visual and sound distortions, hallucinations (fun), tracers, randomly dropping and pick things up, removing cloths, running (uncontrollable moments of sprinting), sitting, laying down, and talking to yourself... lots of talking to yourself. And yelling at trees - can't forget to yell at trees. And thinking the sky looks really big. Just to name a few.

Vector636 30 Posted January 21, 2014 lol I have already seen some crazy things in the mod&standalone it would be hilarious to so see a player having a bad trip, imagine seeing a zombie while under the effects. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Otis.Driftwood 204 Posted January 21, 2014 (edited) I've been mushroom "hunter" for years now and i know about species of mushrooms. Some are edible, some are not edible, some of them are mildly poisonous, some are more lethal. There are some mushrooms that you can eat and nothing would happen for days. Two days later you would be sick, you would vomit a bit and then everything would be back to normal. Few weeks later your liver is starting to shut down, and so the other organs, then you die. People are saying that every mushroom has his evil twin but that is not true. Let's show for example some of them. Chicken of the woods (edible-someone eats it raw, someone boil it 1st) They grow on certain tree species. You all know this right? Amanita muscaria. This is not lethal mushroom, but it can make you sick and it gives you hallucination and delirium. And most lethal of them, the #1 killer in the world - Amanita phalloides My suggestion : you need to be very careful when picking mushrooms. You need to have knowledge in real life to be sure to use it or not because this game need to be real as it can be. Heck, when i'm on picking mushrooms i'm not picking something that i'm not 100 % sure what it is. Another way to gain some knowledge is through game where you can find a book among spawns where some basic mushroom species are described.

King of kong 1117 Posted January 21, 2014 Yep. Each type of shroom should have different effects, lethal possibly, some shrooms that grow in Ireland have healing properties etc Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Trigger Hippy 176 Posted January 21, 2014 (edited) You all know this right? Amanita muscaria. This is not lethal mushroom, but it can make you sick and it gives you hallucination and delirium. Better known as Fly Agaric. Been used as a medicine for years. A small cube will blow your mind and has inspired many works by the likes of Led Zep et al. Too much can kill you. However, it's not very scientific to mention the down-sides without mentioning the benefits. Edited January 21, 2014 by Trigger Hippy 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Vector636 30 Posted January 21, 2014 Maybe we could take the poisonous and hallucinogenic mushrooms and find some way to add the effect to a arrow. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Otis.Driftwood 204 Posted January 21, 2014 If that arrow doesnt kill him instantly. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Vector636 30 Posted January 22, 2014 Yeah you would have to hit them in the leg or arm/shoulder. You could use it if you wanted to capture someone, or on a animal. You could wound a deer and you could catch up to it and have a easier time hitting it if its tripping. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
