Suggestion for use of Skulls - Rust

USELESS!? I say no more! Strike fear into the heart of thy enemy! [U]Skulls on Stakes[/U] - Resources needed - 50 wood ( To craft stake) - Skulls can be added to stake without exceeding 3 skulls This will finally put a rational use of skulls in the work, no more will you be required to see chest space preoccupied by these useless items. No more, will you have to endure the hardships of clicking, "Crush." The purpose of this item is to intimidate other foes, displaying your kills for everyone to see could get a bit intimidating. The item takes 50 wood to craft, and requires additional skulls to be placed on display; the Skull count cannot exceed a quantity of 3 Skulls. [Optional] What would intimidate players more, than having a name to go along with the head? On the forehead of the skull there could potentially be an etched name of the player. [U]How would this improve gameplay?[/U] I believe this would improve gameplay by adding a little reward in PVP. It would give the players a reason to kill opposing players (Other than loot), so they can showcase their head on their front lawn. This could also intimidate raiders; showing them what's in store, potentially scaring them away. These skulls could justify the top dog of the server, and who not to mess with.

[QUOTE=The-Gman;47923854] 2) [B]Placeable skull.[/B] - That'd be cool if you could put a collection of skulls in your house. (On a table/chest/etc) That'd also be cool if you could put it on a stick outside your house to show how brutal you are. [/QUOTE] Wow we both had the same idea!! I support.

This sounds too much like the forest

[QUOTE=ibanez87;47936262]This sounds too much like the forest[/QUOTE] Maybe mounting dicks on stakes then? :) But skull sticks sound like something newmans would do.

Yesss. Or make it like a rope with skulls that can be attached to trees. Depending on the rope length, you can add skulls or steal them. Would be great decoration!

As a long-standing proponent of totems, I fully support skulls-on-stakes.

I like your idea. I also have an idea though it's only slightly related. When bones have more use,perhaps dead bodies could turn into skeletons when they would normaly despawn and they would be harvestable like hemp plants,rocks,mushrooms etc.

This has been suggested about 100 times in the last year, but yes, WE WANT SKULLS ON STICKS! Crafting requirement, 1x wooden spear, 1x human skull, simples!

[QUOTE=GrymThor;47945135]...and the names of our enemies engraved on the skulls we collect.[/QUOTE] [i]That's[/i] what I'd call a trophy rack.

I want skull candles. Would be a cool alternative to lanterns.

Make cups out of them so we can drink in a more civilized way lol

Skull candles, skull hats, skull on a stick, skull item that is like the rock but lasts 2 or 3 hits. Bashing someone's skull in with their skull.

skull masks would be cool, but i agree; bashing someone's skull in with a skull takes the cake.

[QUOTE=GrymThor;47945135]...and the names of our enemies engraved on the skulls we collect.[/QUOTE] This so so so much. If you could make it so the skull sticks are hard to break as well. but people can see their own skulls on there (please please please let them be identifiable with hoverover from a distance, say one wall height at least) it would be awesome. Plus, I'd love it just for the "10k wood to the man who brings me the head of xXx_Noscoper360_xXx! That bitch betrayed us!"

I would love a throne made of skulls

Would the hover be like the aimpoint info when picking up an item or in the inventory?

[QUOTE=pardonme;47948045]That would be awesome! Would the hover be like the aimpoint info when picking up an item or in the inventory?[/QUOTE] That's what I would hope for. So someone could see a skull on the second floor and be like "Everyone can see this asshole has my skull on his wall. I need to get a ladder and go smash it down!" If automated base defenses (turret guns) do get added, Expect to see skull galleries guarded by them. It would be so bloody cool. BTW, the recent devblog post about turrets using the guns already in the game I think is inspired. "Don't go near that base, he has AK turrets. Let's raid this one instead that only has shitty eoka ones."
