Question for ALL members: How common should recruitable (tameable) pred additions be?
Added 2024-09-25 06:45:36 +0000 UTCThere's something I want to get your opinion on regarding future mobs. I am currently trying to figure out how I want to stand on the idea of recruitable (tameable) allies in PCraft. Normally in other mods, I would want to be very weary of falling into a "everything is tameable" trap, but with how people can form attachments to preds in a mod like this, I am not so sure if that would necessarily be a bad thing.
Obviously, not everything will be tameable. More powerful preds and preds that don't really feel like they need to be tameable should stay untamable, but looking at what I have slated, I am unsure of how I want to handle things right now.
In just the next update (3.0.0) we are looking at a guaranteed tameable mob and potentially a special variant of the zombie pred that is tameable. In addition, I am potentially considering one related to the Piglin Royal for 2.2.0 that is tied to its bartering system.
I want to get you guys' feedback on how you feel about having a larger majority of potentially tameable preds in the mod (of course, my goal would be for taming methods to be diverse and not always the same exact thing, so that each one feels interesting and some are much more difficult than others).

Slightly off topic, and I don't know how big you are on Endo but I was thinking it could be cool to have tamed preds be useful in other ways besides combat. Maybe you could have them hold a few items in their stomach or even have them swallow you and use their stomach as a bed or healing pod or something.

2024-09-25 20:16:50 +0000 UTCi am kinda biased and really like the idea of recruitable preds but i am also into the idea of feeding yourself to your recruitable preds for fun. but yea i dont think they should apply to most preds though i think there should be a handful that can be recruited
