Akecza Posted October 3, 2022 Share Posted October 3, 2022 If you raised a birb from egg it shouldn't attack you. It should be a good birb. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnnaAinoa Posted October 4, 2022 Share Posted October 4, 2022 Personally, I enjoy watching new survivors get annihilated by their precious baybee birbs so I'm hoping it doesn't get changed. Honestly though as a biologist in real life I love the mechanic of Tallbirds killing their mothers/adoptive mothers. Unique mob behaviors adds to the eerieness of the Constant & I hope we get to see more mob-mob/mob-player interactions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

finn from human Posted October 4, 2022 Share Posted October 4, 2022 I think it makes sense for them to still be hostile. I didn't enjoy it when it was simply the tallbird attacking you for no reason, but now they have a nest. I think it makes sense that even if they love you and know you raised them, tallbirds aren't human and won't necessarily trust you getting near their territory/egg. They're a type of animal from the constant that we know almost nothing about the biology of and don't have to work by the same rules as real animals.

maxwell_winters Posted October 4, 2022 Share Posted October 4, 2022 Nah, it's the classic mean jab of DS. I don't want it changed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't find myself agreeing with keeping something purely for traditions sake. I've found its a bit of a bad practice to stick to. I find myself agreeing with the thought i've heard very recently of having a grace period upon the tallbird reaching maturity where it'll somehow tell you to back off without actually hurting you (or at least, not hurting you much.) hopefully some of those human maternal ideals rubbed off onto them just a little, you know.

Evelo Posted October 4, 2022 Share Posted October 4, 2022 It would be an incentive to actually grow one. Once it gets to adulthood it attacks and I just ended up wasting time and food for nothing. Having it be passive would make it more worthwhile kind of like a thin tall chicken and how we use them for eggs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You aren't wasting time and food for nothing, you are still getting eggs in either scenario. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GelatinousCube Posted October 4, 2022 Share Posted October 4, 2022 I wonder how creating new nests with player raised Tallbirds is going to work as they just aggro you as soon as they become fully grown don't they? might have to take a pan flute and put them to sleep where you want the new nest and get out of there to allow them to actually create it?

loopuleasa Posted October 4, 2022 Share Posted October 4, 2022 no, that would be too easy you must subdue the birbs rule with an iron fist Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abrocator Posted October 4, 2022 Share Posted October 4, 2022 Wurt and her vegan (almost: honey) merms are to be the guardians of these player-raised tallbirds. Ironically balanced, as all things should be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GodIess Posted October 4, 2022 Share Posted October 4, 2022 raising a tall bird has always been like this: you sit in control, and then she dies on a trap or from hunger, repeat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
