    Here's my entry for the contest. I apologize if my english is poor, since I'm not english.

    I introduce you the Living-tree hat:

    Quite classic, right ?
    But this hat is different... it's made of a magical and extremely rare tree that can survive even by being separated into several pieces. These pieces keep the properties of a living being : It's still alive.​
    So, this hat can change according to the planet, and according to the temperature of this one.​
    Some exemple of this :​
    Living-tree hat - States 1-2-3-00-5-6       4 1.PNG

    In the shown order, on a forest planet, on a dry planet (like a desert one), on a snowy planet, on all the other planets that don't involve important climatic changes, on a magmatic planet, and on an oceanic planet.
    Some examples of these in-game :​

    I hope you liked it :)

    Important information :

    It doesn't really adapt to the trees, I explain :​
    -The hat adapt to the average temperature and humidity on the planet (warm for a forest, cold for a snowy planet ...)​
    -The trees (due to the natural selection) aim towards an unique shape, perfectly adapted to the climate.​

    That's why the hat is similar to the planet's trees : They're both adapted to their environment :)

    Just posting to say that I changed the "dry" and the "normal" hat, and added "magmatic" hat with some "in-game" examples :)

    Just curious, are you sure the hat is not to big to fit in the ''sprite box''?
    Also, I love the sprites.

    Oh, thanks ! I'm going to correct that right away :)

    Actually, I don't know anything about the sprite-box size ^^'
    That wasn't specified on the main thread (Or I didnt see it) but if someone has values, I'd like to know them :) (And I'll change sprites too if dimensions aren't correct of course)

    Well, actually it's not a hat that change according to the planet, it's more like a tree that change according to the temperature and the humidity of the planet. For the "magma" one, that's because the trees are like this on this kind of planet. If on Oceanic planets there're coral trees, that'd be perfect, but there's no garantee of it ^^
    Nice idea anyway, I'll make it to see what it could looks like :)

    PS : I'm adding a new version of the snow hat :up:
