Hey all,
The Rock Puncher is on the chopping block with the removal of terraforming, as you may know. However, instead of having the Rock Puncher punch away at terrain, what if we had him punch away at the 'Drillable Resources' for the Exosuit? This would mean no damage to the Terrain and the Rock Puncher could play as an interaction between the player and itself. For example, you dive deep and find a Rock Puncher punching a large (drillable) boulder, causing oodles of that (useful to you) resource to fly out and land below it as it searches for Rock Grubs in the boulder. What if, you could capture some of the Rockgrubs you find in a cave (by hand, or maybe by jar? lol) where the Rock Puncher can't go and give those Rock Grubs to the Rock Puncher, which will then cause it to move away from the boulder and allow you to pick up the loot safely.
I'm aware this will add to the Dev time and that they probably don't have the spare resources for it (sadly), but it may be a method of saving the 'what would be a waste' of textures and concept art already made for the Rock Puncher (model on Sketchfab). I'm also aware that he is a fan favourite, but anyways, just an idea
Thanks for reading and if you'd like, please comment your thoughts below!

That's exactly what i've had in mind!!
Which biome is he going to be added to? He sort of looks like he would fit in the Lava Zone, but the artwork for him shows a different one.
