Werebeaver picks up items from the floor automatically


Recommended Posts

It is an often complaint: woodie is largely outshined by Maxwell and even pigmen at gathering wood at larger scale. Mainly the reason is that he chops and mines quickly enough but cannot gather the items while in wereform. My suggestion is to give him a simple perk, maybe a skill, that gives him a built-in Lazy-Forager-like ability to pick up items off the floor automatically, but only for items he chopes/mines or can chop/mine, e.g. logs, pinecones, rocks, flint, gold, etc. I understand that such ability breaks the established rule of wereforms - no access to inventory, but I think that it would make a lot of people happy, stay true to the character and shouldn't be hard to make, since code for Lazy Forager already exist. Some options to circumvent the no-access to inventory problem are: give werebeaver 4± inventory slots, that can only hold the listed items and that cannot be interacted with outside of that ability; or make that ability add items directly to the inventory, but deactivate if there's not enough room there; or make slots, like in first suggestion, but make them invisible (maybe infinite invisible storage) and make items be added to the inventory or drop to the ground. 

I hope that gives you inspiration. I usually don't like suggesting such ideas to the developers, even if I don't agree with what you do all the time, you still make an amazing job and I trust you in knowing better. However, I find that idea really good and simple, and I hope you like it as well.
