Ants travel uphill

[bitza]

Not sure if this is intentional but I noticed that the ant swarms can ignore the "elevation" terrain.

Sorry for the darkness in this picture (taken at early morning)



But these little fellows will go straight through the cliff to get to me if I initiate an attack.

I'm lead to understand that all 'small animals' do that. Rats, rabbits, ants, et cetera.

Two different cases, actually. Most objects have what we refer to as a bounding box, which is a rectangular area defining the space they take up, quite simply. Ants lack bounding boxes altogether -- so you can, for example, walk over them -- while the other small animals have them. The reason rabbits and chickens and whatnot can seemingly move across ridges is because their bounding boxes are small enough to fit in a tiny one pixel size crack between the ridge segments. It should be fixed, but it hasn't been a super priority.

It should be fixed

i kind of disagree

With regards to the ants or to the other small animals?

[Chakravanti]

Same, both.

[sabinati]

yeah both. maybe. i'm not entirely convinced i guess, but i don't really see any problem with small critters scurrying down a cliff or whatever

For the ants it's at least semi-intended. On the whole, though, behaviors like those should probably be implemented properly, rather than exist as unintended consequences of some feature or other.

Yea, after combat,lp, inventory, villagesystem and whatnot. Then you can maybe do that, but not now

I have never in my life seen a rabbit or chicken scale a cliff. These aren't slopes, these are CLIFFS. Going down is another thing, but then again, how tall are these cliffs supposed to be?


And I like the trend here; vets want lower tiered things to be harder, newbs want higher tiered things to be easier.
