I think a diving bell would be a great addition to the game

Once corals are finished, we need a diving bell to make exploring them more exciting!

Is that diving bell, the thing you wear on your head? Or diving bell as in the monster that swims over to make a horrible racket to summon more monsters?

I love your idea.  And yes I agree we need one to make exploring a little easier. but also be careful don't give Tyran any ideas on how to make anything else scarier in this game lol

Perfect set-up for even more lovecraftian nightmares to prey upon our weak souls … I’m all for it. More diving mechanics in general (once the oceans have been updated) would be really cool.

This is BELL.

This is diving BELL

Hopefully, there won't be this day soon, as there are no water drifters for now.

For now. Maybe they will never be either. Maybe it will just be a snorkel-like device that looks suspiciously bell-shaped, that swims over to latch on and prevent you from surfacing/breathing, instead of helping you breathe underwater.

I like that. It works as expected until it hits a certain depth (probably so deep you can't get to the surface without drowning), and then takes its real form. Or until there are aquatic rusties, it's true form could be the diving hell.

I figure it would be a variation of the bell intended to aid divers instead of miners, functioning as a sort of scuba-snorkel they could wear in order to stay underwater longer. True to bell form, it doesn't directly hurt you, but otherwise makes itself such an incredible nuisance that you really should deal with it before you get hurt.

I support this initiative! Mostly because i had the same idea a few days ago, lol
