Pecock feathers

[Spi]

This might be a bug

After running pecock in corner and plucking his feathers, the plucking action resets after few seconds.

Its easy to get 20+ feathers and trade them for oinks

I think that plucking should be a once a day thing which would make sence to make a feather farm or smthing

I had it reset after chasing second time, to be exact, probably because of their weird bush mechanics. But they have many feathers, plucking more makes sense

yeah but try running it in corner and you'll see how unbalanced it is

if it would run in opposite direction ignoring player then yeah chasing it multiple times would make sense

I think its working as intended. Cornering the peacock feels overpowered yes (that or making it stuck on walls or in a cage you created).

Problem is: How would you balance that: They don't respawn, They can't not grow them back because youll run out. They can't regrow them all at once cause it will look stupid if it happens next to you.

 

Only fix i could see is Respawn them only after 1min. Like that you can pluck 10ish but then the wait is so long that its not worth it.

@Yokoblue They should respawn, everything should. But taken that aside, may be they could jump over walls by flapping wings? Would require extra animations, but think worth it for good balance that makes decent sense. They could even hover a bit over edge or water so you can't get them. Makes it quite the challenge. And adds variety, as they are almost just reskin of Gobbler.

May be they could spawn from berry bush when picked if there are under a certain amount in the world of them, instead of Gobbler, cause that is from base don't starve anyway?

With both mechanics this way their feather is not farmable probably at all, just require changing gobbler for peacock spawn, limit it, and let them hover over areas. They could swim may be, but in cloud would be funny if they fell
