Copper Golem: Oxidation-Based Behavior - From Sorting to Chaos

I'm proposing that the Copper Golem's functionality deteriorates as it oxidizes, leading to increasingly chaotic behavior until it becomes a permanent statue.

1. Normal Golem

• Behavior: Just as it is now, it sorts items with precision.

2. Exposed Golem

• Behavior: Only sorts by item categories. Its sorting precision decreases, but it remains helpful. The following categories could be used:

  • Blocks: All building blocks etc.

  • Tools & Combat: Pickaxes, swords, armor, bundels etc.

  • Food & Drinks: All food and potion items

  • Ingredients: Crafting ingredients etc.

  • Others: Anything that doesn't fit into the above categories.

3. Weathered Golem

• Behavior: The golem becomes unreliable. Instead of sorting by items or categories, it distributes items evenly among all reachable chests.

4. Oxidized Golem

• Behavior: The golem loses its original function completely and acts randomly by opening random chests and pushes buttons and levers in its surroundings without a pattern. This chaotic stage preserves the original charm of the mob vote concept.

5. Statue

• Behavior: Just as it is now, after some time, the fully oxidized golem becomes a decorative statue.

By implementing this tiered system, we wouldn't lose the charm of the original mob vote concept, but rather expand upon it and introduce a dynamic and engaging new mechanic to the game.
