      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.

Camels and Camelids

4 posts in this topic

Have you read, understood, and followed all of the rules listed in large text at the top of the suggestions forum?(Yes/No): Yes
Answering "no" to the above question will result in your post being deleted.

Since a lot of effort seems to be going in to adding more animals to the TFC2 world, and since some of the animals that have been mentioned suggest that TFC2 is not going to be as Eurocentric as TFC1 is, I would like to see some variety in the types of domesticated animals available. Specifically, there are four types of animal that I think would be cool to have. Dromedary Camels, Bactrian Camels, Llamas and Alpacas.

 

Dromedary and Bactrian Camels:
   Would probably function similarly to horses, but would be slower and possibly be able to be used as pack animals like donkeys and mules. Perhaps only one species of camel could be a pack animal to add some diversity.

 

Llama:

   Could be used as a non-rideable pack animal that could be told to follow you around like a dog. I would suggest that the following AI not require a leash, so that it can't break the player's connection to the Llama. Furthermore, since dogs are annoying and fall off cliffs, the Llama, as a mountain creature, could take a lesson from the vanilla Minecraft cat, and not take fall damage.

Alpaca:

   Effectively a sheep. Alpaca wool would probably be kept on a level of similar utility to sheep wool. Or, perhaps some small quirk could be added to make having an alpaca different from having a sheep.

 

 

Either way, I am interested if anyone has further ideas for features that these animals could have, or for that matter if anyone has other interesting ideas for domesticatable animals outside of family camelidae.

Fun fact: alpacas are not a naturally occurring species of camelid. They are a cross between a llama and a vicuña.

 

Anyways, llamas would be neat animals to see in warmer, more tropical areas. Camels could spawn on the borders/interiors of deserts. If we had a pack-animal mechanic, it could offer some alternatives to donkeys and horses.

Oh, cool. Well, vicuña could work too. Maybe alpacas could give more wool than sheep, but they would have to be bred from Llamas and Vicuña, which could then spawn naturally? That might be interesting, and it would make them more different from sheep.
