Hello all! New player here that just found out about Rising World. I am a LONG time player of Wurm (both Online and Unlimited) of 15+ years, so I do love a good sandbox for sure! No clue how this one has been around this long without me finding out about it. Gotta say as much as it must suck to redo the entire game as a dev, moving off of Java was probably the best move you could have made, it is what severely holds Wurm back :X I can see that this game lacks a lot of features that Wurm has, but totally blows it out of the water in terms of flexibility and customization in building and landscaping. I have only logged a few hours but I am loving it so far! I started in Survival mode to get a feel for the entire scope of the game to this point. I am looking forward to all the awesome things I can build, once I figure out what I am doing of course lol. With being used to Wurms masochistic grind of skills and resources already I (may or) may not switch to creative before I do a large build.
So far there is only one thing I can't figure out, animals. It seems animal breeding is not a thing, nor is leading animals with a rope. I am assuming that's an EA issue and may change later. I did notice that I can pick up chickens and hares, and I have a chaotic little pen area going on. The chickens are dropping eggs, but they don't seem to be a food. Do chicks come out if you leave them on the ground? Also, while roaming I came across a wolf family, a regular mom, a black dad, and a cub. For some reason it let me pick the cub up, and it is now in my pocket. That made me think maybe it's just a size issue and that's how you get farm animals, so I tried to pickup baby pigs and sheep.....nope. Just the cub in my pocket. Does that have a purpose or why specifically wolf cubs, or is it an "unintended feature"? lol Do I need to feed these critters if I pen them? Will the cub eat my chickens if in the same fencing? Can I set this single npc to being non-hostile by settings or taming somehow and keep him as a "pet" and let him run around my house? If so,10/10 for pocket puppies
