Game Development: Colorful Crucible

[loftar]

I can't say I've had a lot of direct experience, but I've always been told to stay well clear of moose since they are supposed to be quite aggressive. Perhaps that refers specifically to their fall rut, but that isn't something I've been explicitly told.

They are less aggressive than boars, fwiw.

That doesn't mean much to us players since we don't really know how animal aggression works in general. Does the chance for an animal to attack roll every time you come within x distance away from it? Once every x seconds? Only once per animal, or per player, both?

Practically speaking, players only care if an animal is aggressive or isn't, giving a wide berth to any aggressive animals and not taking any such caution for non-aggressive ones.

as a hunter IRL I can confirm that moose charge you when threatened

[TheTylerLee]

Literally told my brother this morning I wasn't going near a moose because I don't trust like that. "Oh no they don't aggro"

Clearly a good decision.

Found my first moose last night, I knew to stay away from it. Thing is, moose have been docile in this game all up until now... And it's an easy change to overlook.. I expect many people will learn of this new update in person

[*] You can now bury whole bodies, i.e. you need not wait for them to skeletize before burial.

As someone who had to wait the 24 hours before leaving my walls after dying because I didn't want to die a second time. Thank you for this change!

[*] Added variable materials to "Crucible". The Crucible can now burn both coal and ordinary fuel (e.g. wood), but some processes may require coal. We had not intended to make nuggets strictly dependent on coal.

[*] "Plumb-Bob" now requires lead.
[*] "Wishbone" no longer counts as Fine Bone.

[*] Moose can aggro and are occasionally lethal.


LoL how to add more confusion and less access to players

For NO reason. nice troll.

Even whitetail bucks can become very aggressive during the fall rut, and they're the little, cute ones (aka Bambi).

Movement adjusted, proximity based, time based.

It's not hard to experiment with it when you're not scared of a boar aggroing because you can jog away from it if it attacks.

[RainbowMoostache]

Moose being able to aggro is fine given the way they behave IRL, but the idea of them outright being able to kill you is maybe a bit too much at this stage. There's already plenty of mobs that do, and it will take a good amount of time to get used to an additional animal to veer away from on walks, especially with new people/people who don't read the forums who are consistently behind on what's happening with the game.

Also, if wishbone isn't going to count as a 'fine bone' anymore, then please reconsider buffing its values as a curio to offbalance the change.

The "Pitbaked Goods" recipes now take significantly longer to turn to ash, because they always did.

About 30% of the pitbaked goods I make turn to ash, so this is great news
