In the game's current state, Vigor is perhaps the least used shiftstone, often getting discarded for adamant and stubborn for damage negation effects. Besides just making it heal more or requiring less damage (I'm gonna out some thoughts to these at the bottom, but they're not the main focus of this post), I think a good change would be to allow the healing to go over 20 HP. A problem that all defensive stones share is that they don't really do anything until you get hit. Stubborn, Adamant and Guard however at least interact with that first hit and reduce the damage. Vigor already has the downside of having a limited amount of healing to give each match (6 if the opponent isn't playing damage negation), so in some scenarios getting a 5 damage burst while staying at full HP - something that should feel great - can feel like you just lost 2 HP you could have healed to gain even greater HP advantage. On Changing the Numbers: I feel like a 3hp heal would be justifiable for how hard it is to proc, 4 would maybe even be too much. I'm against lowering the activation number, since that would completely change its current playstyle of going for two hits and follow ups to fishing for singular, strong hits with Walls and Grounded Cubes.

Player Sheen could be a later level unlock to represent a players dedication to playing. This idea comes from precustomization Player skinning via Modding. People used to Edit the Mat Layer and by adding a color instead of black/white/green it would create this sheen effect. I think this would add a nice look to those who have dedicated to playing! It could be a sign of "Those that know what they are doing" for others. In the attached Image, you can see the Purple Sheen.

I think it'd be nice if the pillar was changed to have stats equivalent to the cube, just with a different form factor. In addition to just making pillar statistically stronger (pillar is generally considered pretty weak from a fundamentals standpoint), this would allow for things like holding a pillar in one hand, throwing out a disc with explode on it (which I've found is easier to do with a pillar compared to doing so with a cube due to the shape difference) to un-ground an unmoving wall, and then send that pillar piercing through that wall. Currently, unlike the cube, if this is done with a pillar it would result in a net-zero. On the flip side, giving the pillar cube stats would purportedly throw off railgun set-ups. However, as far as I'm aware, railgun behavior is an unintended consequence of some left-over debug code. To make the pillar with cube stats not break railgun set-ups, to integrate railgun behavior in an intentional manner, and to maybe add a bit of spice, I suggest a Railgun Stone be added that does the following: Pillars spawned while the Railgun Stone is equipped could have the same stats as they currently do (instead of having those that a cube has), with the exception that these pillars pop out of the ground even faster than a cube. Perhaps this could be framed as them being lighter or perhaps it could just be a magic shift stone thing. I figure this may help with getting multi-pillar railgun set-ups done faster, in addition to other benefits. When a structure breaks through more than one of these special pillars in a short amount of time, it gains a buff to structure velocity and a +1 to damage, which scales with how many of these pillars after the first one are broken within that timeframe. Alternatively, it would stray a bit from current railgun behavior, but I kind of think the boost to structure velocity and damage could even start upon breaking through just one of these pillars and scale from there. Both the person spawning them and their opponent can utilize these pillars and they spawn as visually distinct from standard pillars to help cue the opponent that something is different about these pillars.

If deadstop behavior (where one or more structures don't break due to hitting/being hit while the structure being collided with is already in the moment of hitstop) is to remain in the game, I think it'd be nice if the structure that is being collided with as part of the deadstop would emit a small, unintrusive puff of dust and make a satisfying "thunk" sound.

New Shiftstone: Sturdy Stone Sturdy Stone works somewhat like Charge Stone in that it works as an extension of Hold. However, Sturdy Stone would only work on grounded held structures. When grounded and held for more than one second, a structure would enter the "sturdy" state, which would give the structure +1 to its weight, like when a structure is moving or grounded. The state initiates after one second, and lasts for one more second per second held after breaking the hold after it's already active up to some number of seconds (thinking 10 but that might be OP). To be clear: 0 seconds of hold - No effect 1 second of hold - Initiates for a single frame, basically no effect 1.5 seconds of hold - Initiates for half a second during the hold, and stops 2 seconds of hold - Initiates for a second during the hold and then persists for a second after 1 + max seconds - Initiates for max seconds during the hold and then persists for max seconds after 2 + max seconds - Initiates for 1 + max seconds during the hold and then persists for max seconds after This sturdy state persists until either the object is regrounded (ungrounding does not affect it), the object is broken, or it naturally ends via the timer running out. Possibly, the sturdy state could escape the timer limit by the same way that the charged state is preserved (unholding the structure), although that might just be OP. EDIT: Possibly (?) the structure would be harder to destroy during the Sturdy Sate otherwise, making ricochets more likely and multi-structure or surface tension mounts easier to pull off at the expense of setup.

Narration could be implemented for some or all tutorial text elements. For implementation, next to where the text is, I imagine there could be a speaker with a button in the style of the other tech like Howard and the audio could probably be tweaked so it sounds like it's coming out of an older, less-than-crisp speaker. Having narration may help those who may have difficulty reading for one reason or another. Thank you for your consideration. ^_^

Make the bottom of the skirt semi-transparent when looking down to increase visibility during flight. Reason: certain mounts(ball) are completely invisible when flying on a skirt, making it much harder to fly. Potentially can be used on other cosmetics. dithering - CRWND

It could be a shift stone that allows you to see your opponent through obstructions and dust clouds based on the "vibrations" the opponent makes by moving, summoning structures, etc. Perhaps it could be somewhat akin to the BlindRumble mod ( https://thunderstore.io/c/rumble/p/MadLikeRUMBLE/BlindRumble/ ), but while maintaining standard visibility. Additionally, maybe it'd only work while the opponent is on the ground, not in the air? Thank you for your consideration. ^_^

i think the only face marking missing is freckles. we got moles, we got face paints and a whole lot of other stuff yet the only marking thats missing (imo) is freckles. as a freckled person myself i can say that freckles are super cool and u should totally add them. AND i think it should be fairly simple to add it to the game although i may be wrong
