livestock should be able to drink booze instead of water

[Ants]

I want to get my rabbits drunk.

It ain't right.

Only if they are cows and you massage too

@headchef, @ants: thanks for the reads. Awesome!

@ants: i don't know... I know it's practiced around the world, but what would it mean in terms of game mechanics other than being larpy?

what would it mean in terms of game mechanics other than being larpy?

It is easier to make hq alcohol than to get hq water. Since (water+swill)/2 is a cap for chicken and rabbit q, the swill q must rise twice as fast than animal q. Which is not a big deal, but it is still something to watch for.

So, yeah, I can see why people want to use alcohol once they cannot use tanning fluid anymore.

-1 unless it comes with severe q penalty and is essentially a joke mechanics for fun effects. Then most likely -1 again for wasting dev time.


On the brighter side, this thread reminded me my aunt's story when she threw away cherries used in making wine and chicken ate all of these, resulting in drunk chicken randomly lying around the whole yard.

I guess the quality thing was obvious... I was thinking beyond that. I was thinking more like what you're -1'd... what mechanics would make it something interesting?

And as far as the tanning fluid... well, that cat is out of the bag*. Expect that to get nerfed in the next patch or two, and a lot of coops will need to be rebuilt. (IMO, if anyone is abusing bugs like that, the secret fix should include killing all the animals that have been kept in that building.)

*I think jorb and/or loftar actually already knows about it... I think it was mentioned back at the start of the world with the "tanning fluid in cauldron" thing.

I assumed it was already a done deal, maybe I was wrong.

Tanning fluid in coops and cauldrons prevent their normal use and function.

Not so sure about rabbit hutches, but that has less impact anyway.

Edit: Regarding "fun" mechanics: make animals escape cages and fall KOed randomly around. Not worth it IMO. Good for griefing.

I thought it had been, too... but what do I know? I don't screw with livestock of any size because I want to be able to take more than two days away from the game. I've heard this from more than one person, but I'm not going to report something I haven't confirmed.
