Rabbit Hutches... Again?!

[Jeebus]

About a year ago, some of you may remember I suggested the idea of rabbit hutches for the game, because I said I wants better q bunny slippers, because bunny slippers are the greatest footwear ever. Well, I still want my hutches.

Rabbit hutches could work just like chicken coops; catch wabbits and throw them in, use a fodder meter to feed them and up the q, and watch 'em breed like, well, rabbits. Of course, you'd need to add a differentiation of genders to rabbits for this to work, and this is how it'd work. Like silkmoths and untamed critters, you won't know what you got till you nab it, but once in your inventory, a white rabbit would be female, and a brown one male, and there would be a much higher chance of getting a female than a male.

Of course, q would have to go up slower than chickens, since fur (and as a result, leather) is involved, and could impact boar and bear hunting incentive. I mean, who would want to hunt a bear for leather when they have q9001 rabbits?

This could also lead to a new curio, the Vorpal Rabbit. It has a .0125% of being born in a hutch, but gives 25,000 LP over 18 hours with 5 weight, IF you take it out as a little bunny. However, if it grows up to be an adult, it will break out of the hutch, flip out, and go apeshit on you, the buildings, and everyone, and would be as badass as a Level 1 Troll. However, this curio idea is wholly separate from my hutch idea, and should be considered as such.

Anyhoo, a hutch would make rabit meat more useful, and let us make better q slippers for a change. I want to raise bunnies, dammit!!

would there be a chance of jakalopes spawing when bred. because i could see that being abused..

other than that +1

[killette2]

+1 Except for the rabbit being as strong as a troll.

Bunnies, Minks, yup, want 'em, want to raise 'em, want to be like "Oh yeah check out my q100 bunnies, awwww yeah".

I'm sure it's somewhere on the agenda, just not a high priority.

I have to say that I'd prefer if you were able to breed different coloured hair, so we would be able to make black bunny slippers and such.

Flaw in that reasoning. Jackalopes are mythological beings that look like rabbits, but have deer antlers. The Vorpal Rabbit, as I alluded to, was the crazy psychotic rabbit from "Monty Python and the Holy Grail" that could practically fly in a single bound and decapitate a man in a single bite.

Eh, it was late, and I had Monty Python on the mind. "RUN AWAY!! RUN AWAY!!"

Now that is something I never thought of. +1 to you, SacreDoom, +1 to you.

Bunnies, Minks, yup, want 'em, want to raise 'em, want to be like "Oh yeah check out my q100 bunnies, awwww yeah".

I want to be the greatest lagomorph master of them all!! Gotta catch 'em all!!

Sadness.

I figure a hutch could use the same materials as a chicken coop, well, possibly more straw, and maybe, to make it so leather aficionados don't gripe about people the idea being used to make easy leather, I guess it could require, like, three nuggets of any metal, for the wire mesh.
