Make ducks and swans float

Post by aikidragon »

Instead of chasing ducks with my horse, I want to be able to hunt with the sling and not lose the corpse in the water. Same with swans when fighting in shallow water.
Technically speaking it would probably require extra support for dropping items in water and not losing them, as their carcasses are not as bigger animals'.

Yeah I agree about ducks since there's no real way to hunt them apart from getting a horse. Every other bird can technically be sniped. Swans usually spawn close enough to land so no problem there.

It's not like they can't do it, since bark boats can float.

Beach salvage / driftwood have tons of dead mallards. It's a bit odd, to be honest, that they do not float.

Newbie and noob do not mean the same thing.

Neither do figuratively and literally.

Agreed. It always made me salty when my catch just goes *plop*

This dreadful ailment's heavy toll;
The spleen is what the English call it,
We call it simply, Russian soul.”

Overall, floating items would be cool. Corks sink, wooden blocks sink, its stupid.

With some cool floating mechanic you could just have "floats, true/false (default false)" on each item. Which does not sound that tedious thing to do for each item that floats.

Like when you drop a wooden block in water, it could wobble around a bit for a moment, and then sink. Same for all other items that float.
