Herding animals

[xtali700 17]

Q2 2015

• Advanced animals (life cycle, group behavior)

Q3 2015

• Animal predators + birds

Q4 2015

• Animal companions

 

Looking at the roadmap the animal AI seems to have gotten some attention this year with group behavior seemingly in on the latest EXP. Seeing how the hermit gameplay style seems to be getting a lot of attention, I thought it would be cool if hearding animals was possible. Like fence up a farm with some land and grass on it and heard goats, sheep, horses etc. and be completly self dependant, maybe even have grass decay after a couple of days.

too much of a farm sim at that point IMO, keep em' wild.

 

maybe a dog as a companion

Dogs and horses seem to be the only feasibly realistic companion types without stepping into the realm of cartoony/arcadey.

Horse meat is actually pretty good.  My neighbor made a damn fine chili with it.

Goats, mainly. Meat, milk, hide and hair (wool-ish).

 

Don't really need any other animals, other than a dog. Keep some goats in a pen in your clans base, you won't regret it.

have you ever kept a goat in a pen? They are complete assholes, and quite happy about it. Skinning them sound the best, forget the milk.
