Bug?

Anyone that's harvested nodes will remember the clouds of green gas that sometimes pops up and lasts for quite a while. If you stand in the cloud, you will quickly die.

Well, I was in the hunting grounds and harvesting a resource node when a cloud popped up. I finished harvesting and moved away.

Bug is, a line of Bodocs was moving through the cloud but not taking any damage.

Or is that a feature? :D

It's normal.

I've heard you can gain their invulnerability to gas clouds by performing a ritual dance to court the favour of the Bodoc God... :D

Muhahaha!!! Good one :D

Naw, its a little illogic feature. *shrug*
One may assume that, in favor of the devs, the Animals over time developed an immunity to these environmental hazzards :D
Would be realy great though if they too took damage. It´s the same with the bodocs Spore Cloud, it kills homins but not predators.

Well, maybe they´ll do something about it someday.

Side note, found another item that may be a bug. I prospected near a tree. The node popped up right against the tree and when I tried to harvest it, I couldn't get close enough, like there was an invisible fence keeping me a meter or two too far from the node.

That one was annoying :P

There is something in the bodoc diet that makes them invulnerable to gas clouds... it also makes them fat and dumb.
And it tastes like... well, I wouldn't know how it tastes, would I? The gas is killing me too. ;D

Tree collisions are too large.

You can injure mektoubs with gas clouds, though, I wouldnt suggest doing it, as GMs don't like when you do it.

But that only works on domesticated mektoubs like packers and mounts. I guess the eat something different if they roam free than the stuff they get from the stable boys.
