      ATTENTION Forum Database Breach   03/04/2019

      There has been a breach of our database. Please make sure you change your password (use a password manager, like Lastpass).
      If you used this password anywhere else, change that too! The passwords themselves are stored hashed, but may old accounts still had old, insecure (by today's standards) hashes from back when they where created. This means they can be "cracked" more easily. Other leaked information includes: email, IP, account name.
      I'm trying my best to find out more and keep everyone up to date. Discord (http://invite.gg/TerraFirmaCraft) is the best option for up to date news and questions. I'm sorry for this, but the damage has been done. All I can do is try to make sure it doesn't happen again.

'Pest' AI for deer

Started by 413crossram,

The deer would seek out fully grown vegetables (only on tilled land if possible), and eat(destroy) the plant. This could also effect berries and fruit just not destroying the source block.

Deer would hang around areas that it finds this nutritional food, effectively turning your farm into a breeding ground for deer. Which in turn would provide you a hunting ground.

I just thought of this mostly since rabbits have been added to the newest snapshot and all I could think about was them destroying my farm.

I was also thinking somehow using this to make it more balanced between farming near the equator vs. far from the equator, as in making it more difficult to farm near the equator.

this sounds like it would be pretty amusing, irritating, but amusing.

A reason to build a fence, I suppose.

But will be a pain on the neck to look for wild crops.

 

In fact, it might just lead to players veining deers as pests and slaughtering all of them on sight.

It might need some balancing for wild crops, but it's probably doable.

As dunk said, it's doable *probably*. AI in general tends to be a nightmare however.

Now that you mention that, Allen, I suppose the AI would be trickier to code since the tracking AI for mobs isn't the best...

Perhaps the AI shouldn't be focused around the source but instead it will eat crops as a passing chance and if it had a successful attempt perhaps it doubles back for a second attempt sort of like an elliptical shape.

PS: I haven't been around lately to follow my posts as I was visiting someone at the hospital for the week.
