VargheimRanching

Ranching profession perks for the Vargheim server. Needs VargheimProfessions; does nothing on servers that don't run it.

| Level | Perk | |---|---| | 25 | Stockman — creatures added by mods can only be tamed with a rancher nearby; ranchers craft saddles and saddlebags | | 25 | Winter herd — in a Seasons winter animals do not breed unless a rancher is within 10 m; near a rancher they breed at half the normal rate | | 35 | Tanned hide — make Tanned Hide (2 Deer Hide, 2 Leather Scraps, 2 Resin at a workbench); smiths need 1 for every modded armor piece | | 35 | Gentle hand — tamed animals within 30 m of a rancher take 15% less damage | | 45 | Herd breeder — animals within 10 m breed 25% faster and young grow up 25% faster | | 60 | Trail rider — +15% speed and stamina for the mount you ride | | 75 | Butcher — tamed animals you slaughter drop 25% more meat, leather and hides | | 100 | Bloodline — 10% chance an animal born near you comes out one star higher |

Every animal needs a breeding partner at least 5 m away (applies to everyone).

Changelog

  • 1.1.3: Stockman now says so: untamed mod-added creatures show "Needs a Rancher (level 25) nearby to tame" on hover, and a message when taming is refused (it was silent).
  • 1.1.1: Herd breeder now really speeds up breeding (pregnancy chance).
  • 1.1.0 — Tanned Hide (synergy with Blacksmithing). Winter herd: hooks the Seasons breeding multiplier so winter (set to 0 in the Seasons config) still allows breeding near a rancher. New settings WinterHerdLevel (25) and WinterHerdMultiplier (0.5).
  • 1.0.0 — first release.
