Saddleable Woby

[Well-met]

Come now, that's an obvious idea for a skill tree perk.

She would gain the benefits, but once she shrinks then it would shake the saddle off and damage it.

To make the duration of saddle work again..?

I know this sounds weird but wouldn't this make Woby mod character levels of fast? Like even a default saddle would give her a 40% speed boost on a speed of 13(with agility)

Klei could easily put some diminishing return logic, I'm not too worried about it.

Yes please, saddles are part of the reason why Woby will forever be inferior to Beefalo. 

Which is sad because she's a character specific perk, those should over be better than general options.

I will also take this opportunity to voice my displeasure at how little Klei has done with Domestication.

Almost none of the tools directly mention they're strictly for beefalos, but they've made no effort whatsoever to expand upon it.

Koalefant and Grass Gators are just sitting there waiting for it, all the animations and most of the logic is already in place...

Yes please x2, It would be so cool to be able to domesticate Grass Gators for ocean travel and Koalefants for maybe warmth? They could keep beefalo as the premiere speed/land mount, but give the other 2 unique gimmicks!

since klei's back in business, i will bump this idea

Well, not entirely.

Code-wise, mostly, animation wise, not entirely. Despite both mobs originating from the beefalo bank, they still are unique banks that'd need to be reanimated to suit player animated mounting.
I feel like there's also the plethora of balancing changes needed to be done around both of them, since even now I feel like people are split on the existing beefalos, couldn't imagine an additional two more.

Not to say I'm against it, I'd kill for more mounts... but I don't think it's plug-and-play either yet.

I don't know how to respond to that, it's fairly obvious proper work would be needed but it's nothing klei hasn't seen before. They've done a billion more complex things in the last year alone.
