Love this game, thank you all for working on it!
I've teched into taming and think it is really cool. A few general ideas that stand out to me after the many hours I've played this are...
1. Because the 'exploration' theme of this game is so addicting to players (and myself) why not make different variants of each animal type for different regions in the map (colors, textures, skins, sizes, builds, ect). If there are multiple different kinds of thatch, wood, fiber, stone than why not animals? each variant could be better scaled into a certain stat? Instead of randomly generating skins globally, make different populations in different places (i.e. polar bears in the arctic).
2. Breeding is wayyyy too time consuming for anyone to do who doesn't want to press E for several hours, AFTER waiting for the female to give birth for 4 hours. Currently this requires a ton of resources and a ton of uninterrupted attention. Pick one; either make a player have to sit with the baby but shorten the time, or make it so the baby requires tons of resources, but those resources can be accessed from a trough or something. Reward the player for their time, or their resource collection.
3. Hot keys for switching between tame groups? how about a bar below the inventory bar? shift+1 = tame group 1, ect. (I feel like this should exist? I just don't see it?)
4. Birds birds birds. they are hella hard to hit with the bolas or trap anywhere. I feel like bird tames could be so cool in naval combat (send a swarm of birds to the enemy ship) but the glichy-ness of their taming is currently soo hard. if they got below 20% health could their movement speed slow? or the hitbox for bolas against them needs to be much larger? I don't think i'm the only person who has issues with bird taming.
5. This occurred to me by reading the posts above but I want to echo it. Yes, a pack buff should be huge for the wolves!
Hopefully you like these ideas. I want to make sure I say that I really like that you have to work hard for things in this game. It makes them rewarding so don't make it easier, just make a couple quality of life changes like those above would be nice.
thanks for your time and asking us! really appreciate it!
