Woby has too much upkeep

[Copyafriend]

I know that woby isnt meant to be a complete upgrade to beefalo, but he requires too much upkeep atm. A monster meat a day is fine for early midgame but later on you want him at max speed and he needs to be fed twice a day to accomplish that.

 

I think woby needs a skillpoint or two that improves the cost of using her

A proper way to tell when hungry/ a way to automatically feed woby/ reduces or remove hunger drain from her would go a long way, because spotting the speed slowly going down is a bit tough, and getting kicked off doesn't feel great at all in the middle of combat

I also hope fetch gets a rework. It's waay too slow to be useful. Id prefer if she would pick up extra stuff that's already in her backpack autonomously, maybe have that be the 100% perk? Like the badge progress is teaching her to pick up the stuff, then 100% is the actual ability?

I think more max hunger could go a long way.

Agreed, she gets hungry real fast and there's no proper way to see her hunger level. 

Also her training takes way too long every time... If she needs to be re-trained in every new server it would be really nice to reduce this time, cause it is a chore to do the same thing, especially getting hit while on woby, over and over again.

Lets not forget that not even that late game we can swap characters i hope that the training prevails that swaps, but i sincerely doubt so xd

If you do things properly and focus on finding and training a beefalo early on, you can consistently have it fully tamed before day 30. After that point depending on the tendency used, riding is either free or costs something like a single twig, or a lightbulb, for more than a day’s worth of riding, at full speed and providing a meat shield armor.

If you don’t go beefalo and focus on Woby, you’ll be stuck at day 30 with having to obtain a lot of monster meat a day and with no meatshield protection. 
 

Unless you really dont know how to tame beefalos, the decision is kinda obvious. I think this needs to be adressed or it will make Woby not worth using again other than to find beefalos in the first 5 days.

Reminder. You do not need a new thread every single time you have an idea about wendy

 

Wendy is also not the only character being changed

Yeah that makes sense, but this thread is about Woby, not Wendy.
