How to reset the position of the ingame windows? My friend accidentally dragged a window outside the client window and can't access it anymore.
Edit: Found it. I had to manually edit the windows.json.

Do i need to only use punches to tame an animal - like it says on the wiki, or can I can just use normal attacks - low blow > punch > chop is my best combo so far?

2nd question - What does Grievous damage mean?

E.g. My stone axe is:
55 Damage
10% Grievous
20% Armour Pen

My Tinker Axe is:
51 Damage
40% Grievous
15% Armour Pen

What does the grievous component do?

Punch is recommended due to it's low damage because it seems that taming process is not completely understood, and dealing large amounts of damage in a single attack can result in overly punishing reaction from the animal.

A) The animal simply dies because your first big hit left the animal just above the "yield" threshold and the second one, with increased opening, is able to deal enough damage to reduce HP all the way to zero.

B) Animal being tamed may have "Goldilocks zone" in it's Hitpoint pool. You're supposed to hit the animal through Yellow pool until it's HP drops to the Green. However, if you do enough damage, you skip the Green altogether and go to Red where animal goes berserk and will fight to the death, likely losing/resetting all taming progress even if you manage to drop combat with the animal without killing it.

Classic blunder not related to amount of damage you deal; If multiple people tame the animal and someone forgot to toggle yield at the start, they keep hitting the animal after it gains taming points, which causes it to lose ALL taming points.

If you have low stats and low quality weapon, you're most likely safe with spamming an attack like "Quick Barrage" or "Sideswipe."

What does the grievous component do?

Normal damage = Soft Hitpoint damage.
Grievous Damage = Hard Hitpoint damage.

Animals and Creatures use more regular/simple hitpoints system, so "Grievous Damage" only affects PvP.

I used punch for muflons and sideswipe for horses/aurochs with 19q bronze sword. Damage is small enough to successfully end every taming process.

Is there any way to take all/fill your inventory from a barrel? I don't really feel like clicking 'Take' 80 times every time I replant my field.
