Allow Beefalo to Jump Boats with Tail o Three Cats


Recommended Posts

Klei took away the ability to jump onto boats while mounted on a beefalo in Update 341693, wasting one of the most beautiful animations in the game https://imgur.com/29DbA5z and also heavily nerfing beefalo mobility in the process, which was already lackluster (mounting a beefalo already prevented the use of wormholes, self-Telelocation, and Lazy Deserters; now it also prevents the use of boat bridges!)

We haven't gotten explicit reasoning for this change, but it seems to have been related to either keeping Suspicious Marbles confined to the mainland, or preventing certain Shadow Chess cheese strats? So what if mounted beefalo will jump onto boats, but only while the rider has a Tail o Three Cats in their hand slot as "encouragement". That would ensure players can't boat jump with a Suspicious Marble (or any other heavy object).

You can still build the pieces on the boat, don't see why Beefalo need to be involved. 

Thinking about it some more, it might have been because they may not have wanted you to take the Celestial Altar Pieces off the Island (except that you still can through other means >:]).

But it's what Variant said: just let Beefalos be able to get on a boat but not when a heavy object is loaded onto them. There's really no reason not to if it's possible to program, since you can bring the Beefalo onto the island through other convulated means except through a boat.

I do like the Tail O' Three cats suggestion though.
