New curiosity + nitpicks

[ricky]

So I've been playing hafen for about a week and a half now, and i've had a few ideas for curiosities that could be implemented as well as few things i've noticed that arent right in the game.

first off, Curiosity ideas:

the Rat King: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rat_king_(folklore)
perhaps once in awhile while walking through the woods at night you can find a rat king. i feel like something like this is right up hafen's alley.

itsy bitsy spider + itsy bitsy web:
if you have both in your inventory, you could combine them into one curiosity that gives more lp with more mental weight, etc.

rabbits' foot:
every once in awhile when butchering a rabbit you could recieve a rabbit's foot.


so onto the nitpicks:

carrying objects and rowing a boat at the same time.
being able to row with a box floating above your head is pretty awful.

carts + horses.
it would be cool if you could pull a cart at the same speed as a horse crawls/walks. currently its dictated by what terrain your on, which is cool, but a walking horse is much to fast for a cart on "running" terrain, and a crawling horse is just slow enough that the cart will get stuck on the horse.
as a side note with carts + horses, if you're on a horse pulling a cart on the "running" terrain and transition to "Walking" terrain, the cart will behave as if it hit an object, and you'll drop your cart. this should probably be reported as a bug, but i dont want to.

carrying objects + emotes.
behind able to wave or dance and point with a boat on your head is pretty silly. it only makes sense that you should put your stuff down before doing that.

a lot of these have probably been discussed or mentioned before, but i thought i'd put in my two cents regardless

E: I remember another idea i had while playing. perhaps waterflasks/waterskins could be equipped to the belt slot? this would be pretty cool.

Rat King confirmed happening since 2009.

Agree that there should be a way to combine itsy with his web.

Rabbit's Foot already in.

Carrying objects while rowing might look bad, but functionally it is great, and I would not want to remove it.

Horses can only incidentally pull carts right now. It's only pseudo-intended, and would need a rework to work better.

I don't think there's any point to blocking emotes while carrying. It might look a bit quirky, but I don't want to block functionality unless it's criminally ugly not to do so.

Small nit-pick: Don't make grab-bag threads.
