A quest to darn the Captain’s socks#697

I request an improvement where we can have a quest to darn the Captain’s socks as hours of hard labor frequently wear holes in his socks. This would add a substantial amount of depth and content to the game. I would even consider making this the main quest for the game and inegrating it somehow into the main story line. Maybe the Cogs’ main purpose for invading the island was to prevent the captain from darning his socks.

Great idea! But i think it would make more sense to make it a side quest rather than part of the main quest

This is brilliant! But why the captain’s socks? Why not your own? I mean you work harder than the captain with all the traveling around fighting cogs, etc. So it’s more likely your socks would be in need of darning. I think the best way to implement this into the game is to have a quest where you have to build a sock darning module. You could even have 3 tiers of sock darning modules!

Actually, now that i think about it, i’m not too sure about this one, I am not sure how this would fit into the steampunk aesthetic of the game. Maybe if we could find a way to make his socks steampunk? idk. It’s a little strange but it would be cool to have a Darn the Captain’s Socks acheivement on my steam profile! Whatever, I upvoted it. Make it happen devs!

@SirZwaard While everyone is entitled to their opinion, I have to disagree. I don’t think this would work as a quest. I do, however, think this would make a great dlc. I mean can you imagine? Volcanoids: Darn the Captains Socks. Sales would be through the roof! Epic!

YES! i was thinking about somthing similair. it would be awesome to darn not just socks but ya know, old school long-underwear and hats and i do like the idea of a sock darning module as well. would give the game that old school feel ya know???

I like this idea a lot. This is something that i can personally relate to as i frequently get holes in my socks, usually because i forget to clip my toenails but maybe we could add that as part of the quest, to remind the Cap to cut his toenails every so often

@RoyalMeanDude57 just to elaborate on your idea a bit, we could also make a toenail clipping module. And then a quest where we have to escort the captain safely to your drillship to get his toenails clipped.

Maybe we should make a seperate suggestion for the toenail clipping module? I personally don’t care for the sock darning idea, i think that’s kinda weird and random but I think the toenail clipping idea is solid.

awesome idea :)

@RoyalMeanDude57 I really like the idea of a toenail-clipping module as well. It would definitely contribute to the already eccentric style of the game. As to whether or not that should be a seperate suggestion from the sock-darning quest, I would leave that up to the moderator.

This doesent fit our current scope for the game at all, so i will reject it for now. Might be something we could look into later in development when we add sidequests, but i think that it will be a little far fetched, even then.

This also gained a looot of votes in a shot time, and comments too? Someone brought their army of alt accounts in for this?

Haha lol
Joke suggestion

Darn those socks to heck… they are skewing the vote numbers!
