# Goliath infuser organs

Goliath infusion organs should be utilities, making miners have an easier time on lavaland without changing how they work.

The exception is the tendril hammer, it is powerful pickaxe that doubles down as a powerful weapon against fauna.

The first PR will be the barebones of the organs, so I can spend some time polishing each at a time on future PRs.

# Why you should want these organs?

1- Eyes: The goliath eyes are mostly a filler organ with a small utility at the moment, night vision.

In a future PR, if I manage to make it work, I'm interested into allowing the owner to see perfectly amidst an ashstorm.

2- Lungs: The goliath lungs let miners breath at lavaland and the station without issues, mostly so their exoslot can hold more interesting things like PKAs.

As a downside, the owner won't be able to breath pure O2 now so miners with these lungs are more susceptible to atmos sabotage at the station.

In a future PR I would like to give it an extra upside.

3- Heart: Goliath hearts give their owners ash storm protection.

In a future PR I would like to give it an extra effect, possibilities will be down below.

4- Brain: The goliath brain is the core of the set. It gives the miner an overgrown arm that works as an efficient pickaxe and murder weapon.

I am content with the state of the arm. It is unlikely that I would update it.

5- The bonus effect: For now it is simple lava walking but I really want it to be something more unique. Lava walking is passive and boring.

# What this organs shouldn't become...

1- Be the meta. The arm should be a fun way to beat megafauna and challenge yourself, it should not be the most efficient way to kill megafauna.

2- The set should not help the miners on station.

Organ's upsides should be lavaland related, this is to keep the firewall between mining and the station up, organs can be powerful at lavaland but should not spill into the station meta.

3- Be used every shift. The set already comes with harsh downsides on two ways to play miner, you cannot go goliath miner and use a crusher or MODsuit.

The organ's main effect should also not be as powerful, I want miners to try mixing and matching organs between different faunas to make something unique when others get added.

# Alternatives?

The main alternatives for the feature should be other fauna's infusion, the goliath set should stay self-contained as minor utilities + the pickaxe/melle weapon to give room for other future alternatives.

And well... the list of other options I had for the organ's effects that I will go over now.

# Potential changes!

I made a list of multiple small/big options that miners could use as organ's effect, not all should be linked with goliath organs tho.

1- Fauna faction: Allow miners to not be targeted by fauna, useful for min-max ore collection in safety and help new miners stay alive.

2- Chasm safety: Likely something for Watchers, chasms are something every miner would enjoy being immune to.

3- Shedding goliath plates/bone/sinew: Useful to gear up other players with fauna gear over time, small coop push.

4- Change in diet: Likely for gutlunches, making miners eat raw meat would be a small QoL or buff if we also make lavaland meat more beneficial.

5- Explosive protection: This has two benefits, a simple one on being more resilient against gibonite and an amazing one on being more resistant to friendly fire from PKAs, enabling easier coop mining.

6- Faster transport: Likely something for bileworms or goldgrubs, digging through the floor would make the come and going from lavaland faster.

7- Ash storm sight: Something I want for the goliath eyes, removes the storm overlay, so you can keep mining/fighting amidst one.

8- Draw aggro: We have "taunt" mechanics on game already, albeit I do not know how well they work, being able to turn into the aggro tank would allow easier coop mining.

9- "Spells": From goliath tentacles, watches freeze beams all the way to brimdemon lazors. Most fauna have a fitting one.

10- Healing: From the boring self regen to throwing regen cores into another miner from a legion infusion, again, enables coop mining.
