Oh my... Thanks man! You are outpacing my ability to try out the new features, at the moment. :)

Well, if it helps any, think of it as just one big release that's been split up over several days so I can keep on top of the 1.3 related bugs as they're discovered ;)Elensaar wrote:Oh my... Thanks man! You are outpacing my ability to try out the new features, at the moment. :)
There's a LOT of new people trying the mod right now, so I want to make sure it's as stable and reliable as it normally is :)

This I like. It is a really fun, interesting, and unique aspect to the mod. Plus it makes you have a reason behind that "HOLY SHIT I JUST FOUND A PINK SHEEP" feeling.FlowerChild wrote:-Removed option to disable Hardcore Sheep. It's just the way the mod works.
And FC, you have now released a version everyday for the last 4 days. Not saying I don't love it, but for you own good man, take a break, rest your eyes. :)
Re: New Release! (BTW V3.95)
Thanks so much for all your hard work FC and i love your ideas for hardcore animals. :]

Re: New Release! (BTW V3.95)
Omg. Squee. Flop. Hardcore Chickens? Are Cows and Pigs next? :D
Though... I'm starting to wonder at what attributes Chickens might have to toy with. Knowing you it's not genetic at all and you just want us to think it is after a day of speculating about sheep! *tinfoil hat*
That bug list is getting smaller dear... five for five? It's getting the the point where I have enough material to do a video I think, but I don't want to give too much about the features away, and also want to wait for you to stabilize ;)

Jesus FC, you've been a machine this update round! Thanks so much for your hard work!
I knew rotten flesh as puppy chow wouldn't last forever; it was way too easy to keep dogs fed with it with a mob trap. Ah well, guess now I'm off to make a real animal farm!

Re: New Release! (BTW V3.95)
Oh, it was in no way meant as a complaint, I trust you know when to stop so you don't get overworked. I'm impressed by the hard work you put in to, and the dedication you have for, this mod is all. My hat is off to you, good sir. And that actually means something, since I usually do wear a hat. ;)FlowerChild wrote:Well, if it helps any, think of it as just one big release that's been split up over several days so I can keep on top of the 1.3 related bugs as they're discovered ;)

Holy shit dude, 4 for 4. I am impressed, but make sure you take the time to sleep man.
At first look I am a little sad about the loss of the ability to fuel shit farms automatically, but upon further thought the previous method does seem a little too easy. I don't currently have the ability to play with this release to learn how the new dog food works, but I have confidence that it will be both automatable and more complex than the previous system.
...And hardcore chickens, awesome.

Hehe...yeah, the idea has evolved quite a bit since then into something of an extensive chicken overhaul, but you're on the right track ;)destineternel wrote:ooh! hardcore chickens. There was a mention of this awhile back. awesome!

Thank you. Again.
I feel like I'm abusing my .jar, "BTW updated again, take it! Take it now! Not enough? Have some more! Take it and like it!"
I have a funny feeling about these chickens.

Re: New Release! (BTW V3.95)
Very nice work keeping on top of the bug report hurricane.
It seems like lately much of my available play time is spent updating. :) Hopefully I can find time to test out some of these fancy features.
I'll comment on the glue change later when I can properly articulate my thoughts.

Re: New Release! (BTW V3.95)
Should I even bother installing this? I've logged maybe 45 minutes of 3.94, how soon is 3.96 going to hit me over the head?
Re: New Release! (BTW V3.95)
What? Not even a state hint on how we're s supposed to bed limping unichickens?
Re: New Release! (BTW V3.95)
4 updates, 4 days, 1 man.

Re: New Release! (BTW V3.95)
If you plan to play in the next 24 hours, there is no harm in installing it. If you aren't going to play in the next 24 hours, you mine as well wait for the next update :P Not saying there will be another tomorrow, of course, but you never know.jakerman999 wrote:Should I even bother installing this?

Re: New Release! (BTW V3.95)
awesome work FC, your seriously on fire at this point man. stunned O.O
And for those wondering, here is what FC said he wanted to do with chickens, which so far seems to be the case.
EDIT: to add to spoiler

when a chicken egg is now thrown, it will either create a baby chicken as normal or if it does not create a chicken, it will drop a raw egg. raw eggs can then be cooked into poached eggs in the stewing pot. hard boiled eggs have been completely replaced with poached eggs.
it seems like a simple enough change but this will force a lot of new automation requirements, as raw eggs now have to be filtered from the baby chickens born from eggs. Also makes edible eggs slightly more difficult to mass produce
if there are other changes besides these i haven't found them yet, but iv only been playing for like 45 mins xD
EDIT: ooo seems like theres two versions of eggs now. in the stewing pot raw eggs make poached eggs, but if cooked in the furnace they will make fried eggs, nice! however they both heal two hunger bars
EDIT 2: chickens now have to be feed seeds in order to lay eggs, both hemp and wheat seeds seem to work. they will also follow you when you hold it just like with wheat. thanks to Calcifire3691 for discovering this

Re: New Release! (BTW V3.95)
by the screaming maw of azathoth FC, you're a machine :P
I'm guessing that they'll only lay when fed seeds then (and possibly become limping unichickens if born in the nether) :PFlowerChild wrote:Hehe...yeah, the idea has evolved quite a bit since then into something of an extensive chicken overhaul, but you're on the right track ;)destineternel wrote:ooh! hardcore chickens.

Dude, you're a machine, thanks again :)
Hardcore chicken now ? That sounds fun :p
But :
Including a dung farm in our mobtrap was so cool. Now it's useless.
I don't want to make Dog food, I'm not Raust, I want to feed them rotten stuff ...
Who are you and what have you done to my friend ?
