Livestock Organization

Post by DDDsDD999 »

Livestock organization sucks so I tried to write down some ways to make it suck less.

1. Colouring:

Lets you establish an organization system. Especially helpful for selective breeding.
Also, collars and vests are v. fashionable this season.

2. Shoo Command
Could just be a new emote since we now have these things.
Suggested over and over, get these animals away from my gate so I don't have to do this shit:

3. Ropes
Let us put ropes in stockpiles and/or on fence-posts for easy access

4. Trough fences
In the same vein as ropes, a structure that are troughs and fences condensed into beautiful singularity.

5. Pastures
It'd be really IMMERSIVE if we could have animals stay in a designated area without use of walls. A claim pole style structure would be cool but probably not larpy enough.

6. pathfinding pls fuk these hitboxes

Good ideas, I would love to have some means of identifying my future breeders, I'd actually like to be able to brand them ... with dye, not fire, lol ... it could give another use to sketchbook pages, designing a brand for your livestock.

I also really like the idea of hanging a rope from the fence, not only handy but aesthetically pleasing. (I love the little hitching posts.)

Shoo command has been implemented so gratz on that, no more killing one just because I get fed up waiting for it to move ... :)

I'd like to add one ... hay bales, just small ones for feeding, I've always wanted those.

I had an idea for making gates easier. What if, in addition to gates, we also had stiles? Just like in real life, they would allow people over, but not animals.
Build > Building & Constuction > Walls & fences > Stile
Can only be placed over roundpole fence segment. Right click to climb over.

I love all of these ideas, and I also would love a gate that can be left "open" not not let animals through (unless they're being lead via rope).
