Speed of fleeing animals need a nerf

[Granger]

Currently the only way to kill most stuff is by trapping them or on a horse, as most of the mobs flee at sprint speed.

This is nonsense, unfun, bad, universally hated by the players and thus pointless bullshit. End it now.

Nerf them all one speed level when they're fleeing, or give them a stamina bar that is exhausted after 1/2 map tile for them to slow down one level then.

Do we need any more?

This. Either give animals a fleeing stamina bar or make bleed damage kill the animal after they flee so we can track the blood to a dead animal

tbh even bleed damage killing it is annoying because u just lose the combat discovery

90% of critiques and ideas are the same things suggested over and over

Is it such a bad thing? It shows that it's a popular idea at the very least.

Shows only that the search function of the forum is underutilized for whatever reasons (my money is on laziness leading the top three).

Make it happen that people actually use the search function before asking for bridges, again...

Forums already have search function

Which is often ignored, sadly.

As long as Joe Average can enter new issues into a tracker it won't change anything, even forcing to search if an issue already exists fails on a regular basis (just look at any public bugtracker for <whatever> and search for issues marked as duplicate).

FYI: The question was revived within a week of reinstation of bone clay into the game, so nothing to see here.

I know, I being to lazy to create new topic

Which is a good plan in general and not lazy at all (since it involves having used the search function in the first place), because it leads to information regarding one topic being in one place which makes it easier to find and maintain.

to prevent Onep's and Frosty's making up their lack of game skill with abusing leantos,please make em unplacable until like 5 tiles away from each other,like personal claims,would solve a lot of shit

Merging this with the originial C&I topic. User the search function.

Do as I say and not as I do?

or on a horse,

Get a horse, problem solved

[shubla]

yes, it needs
hunting reworking
next week?

Yeah I really don't understand how this is still a thing.
It never made sense to begin with having INJURED animals running mach 1 away.

I think the best and most logical thing would be to make most animals have some sort of enrage, a desperate attempt to stop you. Kinda like bears but yknow...without the damn running. (I dunno if other animals already have enrage since I only ever boat hunted so I could actually catch animals). I think the only sprint retreating should be horses since it makes some sense that they would flee instead of fight.

Get a horse, problem solved

Which is a completely other building yard, as horse hunting needs a slight nerf. But that's for another time.

They, at times, turn from fleeing back to attacking you. Which is a good thing, unless you can't reach them while they flee.

OP updated.

[azrid]

This could be one solution.

I agree that the current hunting system is horrible, it literally encourages cheese tactics because if you don't trap the animal by taking advantage of dumb AI you're not going to kill it, unless it's a boar.
While it won't be long now until everyone has a horse and can chase stuff down, there really should be a viable non-cheese way to kill stuff without it just running off the second you start dealing real damage.
