Taming sheep bugged? (solved)

Post by mrzli »

Never had problems taming, even in this world. I've tamed every single animal successfully except for mouflon. Everything works fine, but on the final "taming" session the mouflon hits 100% there's the purple-ish cloud animation but instead of becoming sheep they drop dead. This didn't just happen once, I've lost three 100% tamed sheep this way since I tame 3 at a time to increase my chances at getting a breeding couple right away.

I know what I'm doing, I tame animals on a 70 UA alt with very low STR and like I said, I have tamed other animals in this world and it worked just fine.

Odd. Can't naively reproduce that in testing, at least, and I've never heard of it before either. We haven't changed this in any way that I can think of. My best suggestion is to try again. If it's not some fluke others should be getting it as well.

I had a horse that had the taming number pop up and drop dead, had a sheep that instead of going peaceful had the taming number pop up as 0 and re-aggro'd then fought us till it died, they were fought the same way we fought animals we successfully tamed so not really sure what's going on with that.

I have also had the same as Kirche above when taming a sheep. Earlier today it refused to yield even though we both had peace set.

I've had this happen to me in earlier worlds as well so I wrote it off as a bug. Figured it was a taming mechanic, a thing of chance if you will.

I'll record myself taming the next batch of sheep since we're getting the visual effects indicating a successful taming (the taming counter tick going 100 and the smoke/cloud poof around the animal before it transforms) but end up with dead animals. But like Jorb said, we could just be getting unlucky on the last tick, 3 in a row is one hell of a streak though.

Just for the statistics - I have three out of three mouflons tamed successfully (all that was before the last patch though). So at least it's not 100% fail rate.

Just had it happen again, this time with a horse. It refused to yield. When it died it flashed 85% tame (it was 65 before), then flashed 0, then i got a combat discovery. Really pissed, was going to be my first horse with my little group.
