Hello everyone, let me start off my saying how much I adore DST and I think the RoT updates were a wonderful addition. But I think there is still a lot of space left in the ocean that I would love to see filled with more islands to explore so today I suggest: "The Sunken City" biome.
The idea is to have a biome that you row through, with the unearthed ruins being wide enough to create canals of sorts that your boat will fit through.
When the lunar island crashed into the constant it caused some earthquakes and plate shifting and thus these ruins were pushed to the surface. It could be themed about the ancient civilization and thus offer you another way of getting ruins loot, as alternative to the cave ruins. But it could also be lunar themed, pig themed, gorge themed or whatever else civilization Klei might have up their sleeves.
There could be some hidden cellars within the ruins that you can enter and find some treasure, similar to the ruins in Hamlet. I love these small cave and ruins and ant pocket dimensions we got there, I think it could be a great fit.
The fact that you explore it with your boat and make small stops would add great value to the boat system imo in particular with rowing being more useful here than a sail. Slow exploration advised.
What do you guys think?
I made a video about this so you can get a better visual idea of what it could look like:
