Looks groovy

[BadSkeelz]

Looks kinda pointless to me. We already what they're proposing. Maybe the new progression will be interesting, or at least superficially different than "live longer than everyone else."

I haven't played in the Byn in a little while, but at least one thing I see changed is that Lieutenant Copper was like fucking 600 years old

Lol seriously. Lieutenant Copper was really Tektolnes in disguise/hiding.

[Decameron]

C'mon guys, she's not dead, she's just been promoted past the point of playability.

Congratulations to Copper's player for putting in all those years of work!

The only GDB poster I am scared of and will defer to.

[Harmless]

If mounts can have loot packed to them that saves with you if they're hitched to you, why can't carts keep their cargo across crashes or reboots?

The appeal of carts is strongly diminished by that lack of saving contents over reboots/crashes.

Slightly related, but don't tents have the ability to save items across reboots/crashes in them? Am I wrong here?

[mansa]

...Slightly related, but don't tents have the ability to save items across reboots/crashes in them? Am I wrong here?

Only if the tent room is a 'save' room, which I don't believe they are.

[Brokkr]

The pitched tent object is technically what we call a wagon (see below), which creates an inside room in a specified range of save rooms.

Mounts are NPCs and have specific code that causes them to save, if they are linked to a character via hitch or the character being mounted upon them.  If they aren't linked in this way, they are not saved.

Carts are neither of those things (nor are they technically "wagons", objects which also have their own specific save code).  They don't save because they would need code specific to them to enable that, which has not been put in place.  They don't link to a character like mounts, and we don't want them to save like wagons.  Feel free to discuss (in a different thread, not here) why you think they should save and how.

[Harmless]

well, I won't make a new thread just yet as I am no expert on this content, Brokkr, but I will say this. It should be pretty obvious why carts have limited usefulness if they can't save your stuff -- crashes can happen at literally any time, and they tend to happen unpredictably -- if you put an object down in any room that isn't a save room you need to be prepared to lose it all -- therefore why would anyone ever trust their cart with their stuff, ever?

You might load a cart up with logs or something, then start taking it to Nak, only to lose it all en route because of a crash mid-journey with no way to get it back. (edit: except reimbursement requests. I guess this means that you'd not want to put a lot of unique items in, and only use it for now to haul duplicates of easily reimbursable things, like bulk materials/logs/stone, and make sure you take a count before you embark.)

[BadSkeelz]

Maybe roleplay your cart getting wiped in a server crash as an actual in-game cart crash.

[MatisseOrOtherwise]

Not a release note, but I'm not making a whole new topic for "staff announcement replies":

As someone with Romani roots, THANK YOU for finally tending to that iffy little bit of Armageddon lore. I look forward to seeing the Muarki in play.

[Barsook]

OMG, the helm code! Sweetness!

[Brytta Léofa]

- Added command 'feed' to allow for feeding and caring for one's mount.
- Based on how well they are fed will determine the increase in their stamina regeneration.
- Mount races have three different categories of foods.
- Foods they prefer to eat, foods they find acceptable and foods they will eat begrudgingly.
- All other foods they will refuse to eat.
- Mounts will eat more food based on their size.  The larger the amount the more they need to eat to gain the benefit.
- Most mounts will now automatically graze for food to feed themselves when they are in certain areas that are considered their natural habitat.
- Grazing will also provide some stamina regeneration bonus to a lesser degree than feeding one's mount.
- Mounts should only graze when they are standing and not carrying a rider.

- See 'help feed' for details.

As always, reporting issues and providing feedback (pun intended) is appreciated as we look to create other related features.

Staff are building Farmville, and I absolutely love it.

A couple directions one could go with This Sort of Thing that I would find enjoyable:

(1) Increase the value of specific mount animals. Imagine if animals had ride/charge/trample skills that could be trained:
-- It would matter whether you got your own mount or a different animal.
-- Taming mounts could be made less hokey than the current mechanism.
-- Delivering well-trained animals is suddenly an important career.

(2) Extend some of the mount and feed code to other domestic animals: chalton, escru, etc.
-- Make it possible to buy and feed 'em; add a chance of well-fed mixed-sex populations spawning young.
-- Make it possible to move them around without resorting to "subdue." (Stupid simple option: allow "hitch" with a skill check against ride.)
-- For escru, make it possible to extract milk and wool without slaughtering the animal.
-- Then I can start the Armageddon ranch I've wanted since 2010, and die defending it.

(As with, e.g., cooking, campfires, teapots, etc., I'm sure you can just ignore most of this stuff if it ain't your kind of fun. And it's important that you don't actually have to learn these kinds of details as a brand new player.)

Current iterations of escru are milkable and shearable, but not hitchable if they're the readily milkable/shearable ones.

[HeeBeeGB]

I like the job opportunities that might provide (along Brytta's line of thinking) of rustlers and trainers, who can sell you a better-trained mount than what you get in the stores. Having things like increased capacity, longer distance stamina, less chance of bucking you in a fight, or being docile enough to be double hitched (pack animal for those who can typically only hitch one mount at a time) sound like interesting additions that make Tamers appealing.

Could even be a sub-class option, or included with things like Dune Trader and what not.

[Riev]

I still want to make an MMH that sells carob nuts and gysahl greens solely to provide you with the best mount stats before the eventual "mount mating" code comes in.

You know you want that glittering, golden erdlu.

[Brytta Léofa]

before the eventual "mount mating" code comes in.

And mount genetics.

I might want this too much.

  "Almanzo Wilder's the name. I got better horses than you be."
The small, muscular man says, in northern-accented sirihish,

[Armaddict]

Is this stam regen going to interact with stables somehow?  Are there any plans for stabling functions to change?  A little further down this path looks like a pretty dramatic, but awesome direction for wilderness life and travel.

[Wday]

This feeding mount code I have asked for a long time.  You guys did it!  I am moved to tears today, thank you!
