DST Wuzzy The Buzzy

I generated speech lines using OpenAI GPT. If you find any weird dialogue, please report in the comment.

I also added a skill tree. It’s a work in progress. Will gradually add more skills, refine FX, balance, etc.

Introduction

Wuzzy is the bee master, with his own family of bees. The bees are called Metapis (apis is bee in Latin, so Metapis means Metabee, just like Metahuman).

Stats

• Health: 175
• Sanity: 100
• Hunger: 150
• Damage modifier: 0.75

Perks

• Has chance to summon bees on attack, maximum of 4. Initially he has a pool of maximum 6 bees.
• Refilling the pool costs both hunger and time, scaled to his current hunger. Refilling stops below 20% hunger.
• Gains 25% bonus from honeyed and sweet foods. Only get 50% from non-honeyed foods. His favorite food is Honey Ham.
• Runs faster in spring, slower in winter.
• Has coldness resistance based on number of symbiotic bees he currently has.
• Can gather pollen from flowers. Produce 1 honey after eating 10 pollen.
• Won’t trigger wasp hives and bee box when harvesting.

Hives

Metapis Mother Hive

• At most one can be built at a time per world.
• Provides sanity when stand nearby.
• Can be upgraded to level 3.
• Repairs itself and nearby child hives slowly.
• Releases bees to protect Wuzzy players.
• Level 2 & 3 each adds 1 extra to Wuzzy’s bees pool.
• Level 3 has a lamp that lights on at night.

• Allows Mother Hive / Teleportal and Wuzzy to spawn/summon more types of Metapis to fight.
• Each hive adds 1 max bee to Mother Hive. Each 2 hives adds 1 bee to Wuzzy’s pool.
• Can only be built near a Mother Hive.
• Extra bees from Child Hives consume honey in Container periodically. Without enough honey, they gradually die. The honey cost grows exponentially with Mother Hive level and number of extra bees.
• Regenerating extra bees cost honey. Without enough honey, they stop regenerating. The honey cost grows exponentially with Mother Hive level and number of extra bees.

Tokens

In short, they are used to control how many minions of each type you want to summon.

There are 6 types of Tokens, each tied to a Metapis:

• Soldier/Mimic Token: unlocked from the start.
• Moonguard Token: unlocked with Moonguard Hive.
• Voltwing Token: unlocked with Voltwing Hive.
• Mutant Token: unlocked with Mutant Hive.
• Shadow Token: unlocked with Shadow Hive.
• Alchemist Token: unlocked with Alchemist Hive.

When the Mother Hive reaches Level 3, it unlocks a container with 6 slots.
You can insert Tokens to control the types of Metapises you summon:

• One token = 1 out of 6 minions will be that type.
• One empty slot = 1 out of 6 minions will be randomized among available types.

Examples:

1. Built Moonguard, Shadow, and Alchemist Hives. Slots: Moonguard x2, Shadow x2, empty x2.
   • For every 6 minions: 2 Moonguards, 2 Shadows, 2 random (Moonguard/Shadow/Alchemist).
2. Built Moonguard, Shadow, and Alchemist Hives. Slots: Shadow x6.
   • All summoned minions are Shadows.
