insight on server crashes plz?

Well you SEEM to be a dumbshit fucktard. I might not be right. It's only what I'm perceiving.

A bit uncalled for?

Perhaps. I was exaggerating to show the effect of how just saying 'seems' doesn't negate what is essentially still an insult.

So, is someone doing this on purpose?

However, needing combat skills at all for taming sheep? Sheep are sheep. Unless they are wolves wearing sheep's clothing, they are harmless enough to chase with a rope and subdue them without much risk, in real life. On your own you would almost certainly capture one, although the other sheep would run away. I think that it could be better reflected in the game by just needing a rope equipped, and some (say 10) points of unarmed combat. to capture a sheep.

this is true but also remember that for whatever reason foxes of all things can be dangerous in this game. (i hope they change to cowardly chicken thieves because damn)

^ That, or make dreamcatchers able to be built with plant fibres.

dreamcatchers are actually made with sinew

So are bows but hey.

So are bows but hey.

also plant fibers and intestines, so the game isn't that far off.

I don't quite know yet (or I'd have fixed it, obviously), but it seems not to be related to this update. Rather, something is weird with fighting relations. Sometimes when one part of a fighting relation is gone for whatever reason, the fighting relation isn't being destroyed with it, but I have yet to determine why.

So i guess this happens because people logout because they get stuck by a herd of sheep or cows?

Ah, I found it. This bug has actually been around for a while and has eluded me since I could never reproduce it, but I did another, unrelated, change (just an internal clean-up one) recently which made it trigger every time a player was knocked out while logged out. That's great, since I'm finally able to slay a long-standing one.

The fix will be in the server after the next restart. I'll see if I'll restart it manually or just wait for the next crash. :)

the silent lp nerf was not so great....
