      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.

Anyone seen a deer yet?

It may be classified as a bug, but my point is: it's not that illogical. Yes, hides aren't wool. But a deer hide is used for many of the same things as wool is used for.

Not really .. The two are very fundamentally different in that wool is a fiber with no hide attached to the back of it. Here is a list of things you can do with wool that you can't do with deer hide:

Make string, stuff matresses/pillows/anything else you can think of, make felt, make cloth (felt and cloth are different)

Here's things you could do with a deer hide you couldn't do with wool:

Make leather, make a boat, make a wineskin, use as rudimentary fireproofing (when made into leather)

They are similar in that they both represent an animal product usable for certain things in common (e.g. insulation of the body), but they aren't the same, not even close.

You may as well tell me that iron and copper are the same because you can use them both for a lot of similar things.

Sigh. That's not what I mean at all. Look at it this way:

Kill deer

Deer drops wool

Think "oh, deer hides aren't implemented yet, well, wool fills a similar role"

Move on

But it has been confirmed as an accidental bug by Dunk who actually made the deer. It's not intended as a "stop gap deer hide", it's an artifact from the fact deer were programmed based on sheep. I don't really see where the discussion lies here ?

The discussion started with:

Kill deer

Deer drops wool

"Wow, the developer is an idiot." (Actual post, "is that going to change? probably right? because its not really realistic...")

Developer says, "actually it was an accident."

I hopped in to point out that it's not that unreasonable. Maybe it wasn't intentional, but it's not unreasonable.

And now I'm being accused of a non-sequiter.

I've seen a bunch of deer in .48f. I killed a few and they didn't drop anything so I started ignoring them.

Also, probably no leather drops off of deer ever.

Wasn't deerskin a primary source of leather for natives? That seems a bit strange..

"leather", "hide", and "fur" will be different items.
