Game Development: Colorful Crucible

[*] Moose can aggro and are occasionally lethal.

This should have been highlighted, it's a very important (and potentially lethal) change!

As a Canadian having some real life experience with moose, I have something to say. Moose are usually only aggressive when in rut during mating season. Like any other animal, they are protective of their young but we never see any young with wild animals in Haven, except chickens. Honestly, moose are not smart and certainly not aggressive by nature. When I see a moose in the bush, I'm not concerned. When I see a dumb ass moose running out of the ditch at my car, I am concerned. In my humble opinion a moose that agros' a player does not feel right to me. I ask you to reconsider this change.

Fellow Canadian here, can confirm 100%

I've had moose run infront of my car, or next to it for kilometers - this is scary.

I've also had moose wander and trip over my lawn like gigantic retard oafs and follow my dog up to my front door trotting like an 8 ton pony.

In my experience I have actually had more aggressive close encounters with DEER. They have seasonal aggressive patterns too but are often in bigger packs, near young, territorial and smaller, so more likely to acknowledge you as a threat. I've had deer stomp the ground and challenge me many times, but never a moose.

Ooh how about baby wild animals, that are weaker with lower quality material that adults are protective of.

It technically becomes another swarm creature, like wolves and cave lice, which are usually a hermit no go zone due to the way openings work against multiple opponents. But I think this would be good if seasonal, especially since hermits might have the stats to take 'em by fall or Year 2 spring.

When are these changes live?

Edit: Changing the early game is a big deal right now

Go hug a moose and find out

and if you climb into the den, you can meet a bear there

There was a case in Sweden a few years back with a dead woman. Husband was investigated for murder seven ways 'til sunday until they ran DNA on some saliva they found on her, and found out that she'd been mauled by a moose. No clue what the seasonality circumstances were. She'd been out jogging.

I met one in the forest once, and, idk. We were both chill, but I walked away from the encounter with some determination.

They are less aggressive than boars, fwiw.

Nice hat

There was a case in Sweden ... woman mauled by a moose.

Have you thought that most animals, including rabbits can get rabid and suddenly come bite you ? Must be many cases of this in Sweden too occasionally happening, perhaps its time to add small chance for aggressiveness to all mammals at least If you are now adding stuff based on singular exceptional cases and swedish news articles.

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.
