Dry Quicksand

Dry Quicksand is a type of quicksand introduced in the MFQM.

Description
Dry Quicksand is a naturally occuring quicksand type that generates in Desert Biomes. It is essentially flowing loose sand.

Generation
Dry Quicksand generates only in Desert Biomes as deep or flat pits with Flat pitsbeing more harder to spot among the regular desert sand.

Obtaining
Obtainig Dry Quicksand through shovel is impossible. Obtaining through buckets will only yeild regular sand upon emptying them. However, when Wet Quicksand meets the lava, it turns into Dry Quicksand.

Crafting
Crafting Dry Quicksand is not possible.

Effects
Dry quicksand may not appear to be dangerous at first glance, but once the player falls in they will struggle to get out due to the constant flowing of sand. This is especially dangerous in deeper pits as escape is very difficult even with a grappling hook due to the general flat terrain of a desert. For flat pits, the player can partially walk through it though they will sink quickly if they stand on it too long.

Despite its very low suction power, the suction power increases exponentially once the player sinks up to waist level. Upon doing so, the player is completely helpless as the sand compacts around the player's legs which locks them in place. The only way to escape normally is with rope or a grappling hook as the sand is so loose using a Long Stick is ineffective.

Some points worth nothing is that if dry quicksand is flowing, the player will be dragged along depending on where its flowing. The player is usually helpless to fight the flow though with rope or a grappling hook they can overpower the flow. Also Wading Boots will cause the player be stuck faster.
