I like most of those ideas, though the Cape/Muffs/Krakows might get replaced by something wearable by the player that provides an acid resistance effect to nearby allies (since it's a niche use-case, might as well make it apply to all allies instead of one).

The spiral borer one I think might be better if drillbots or a bigger brother to them have a chance to drop broken spiral borers instead. I know spiral borers in general seem pretty rare in my playthroughs, so it'd be nice to get them a bit more often. Or a rechargeable drill that goes down one floor at a time.

The Quantum pearl is also pretty similar to imprintable recoilers, so it might be better to make it a local portal you can walk between in the zone (though this would still be hard to implement, so no promises).

I really like the Mind stone and Shrodinger catalog ideas though, the dehydrator seems neat too, though maybe being able to remove a few drams of any chosen liquid instead of just water.

Got a couple gadget ideas:

Molecular Dehydrator: A consumable that removes a number of drams of water from any diluted liquids, similar to Desalination Pellets and salt.

Quantum Pearl: Rare drop by Giant Clams. A consumable which allows players to mark two points and create a permanent portal that goes back and forth between them. Can be used in North Sheva.

Corrocera Cape, Muffs, & Krakows: Spitting Slugs now have a small chance to drop a corpse on death. Butchering the corpse has a chance of creating one of these three items. They provide +34% acid resistance, perfect for players who use Corrosive Gas Generation and don't want to melt their companions to death.

Advanced Spiral Borer: Crafted using a new drop exclusive to Drillbots, this device goes down 100 strata

Mind Stone: Recharges weapons with the psionic modifier

Cool. I might, though my ideas are pretty mundane.

I'm glad you like it and that the vision for the Kingmaker is working out. I have a couple other items I'm working on in the backgorund, but if you have suggestions for anything else you think might be cool to add, feel free to leave something in the suggestions thread.

Great mod. The Kingmaker in particular has changed my attitude toward Chrome Pyramids. I bum rush them immediately rather than avoid them out of annoyance.

These are sick, and I'm always for getting more content that scales with compute power! Wild one I have in mind is a head implant that release an AoE temporary beguiling effect on all organic creatures in range with the duration and range of the effect scaling up with compute power. Or an artifact that stores the charge of energy cells or the player if the artifact is jacked, functioning like a reusable throwing weapon similar to a geomagnetic disc. When thrown it'll release all the charge stored inside at the point of impact basically being a rechargeable electricity grenade.

For kingmakers:

Jewel-encrusted weapons have a good chance to get the transmute to gem power and (flawless) crysteel weapons have a decent chance to get the dismember power. Zetachrome weapons can get transmute to gem or Light Manipulation.
