Animal Handling

[Sprurvur]

Would the future new animation system make it so that Animal Handling pets would get reset in a weird way because of computer jazz i really dont understand?
Will Animal Handling pets be reset when the economy wipe happens?

The animation system probably won't have any direct impact on your pets. But getting to the underlying concern, yes, we will be replacing the visual appearances of most pets in the future, but no, that won't cause them to be wiped. Your pets will just suddenly look different.


As for resetting during wipe, I don't know for sure; we haven't made any decisions there, but I hadn't anticipated wiping them.

(Edit to add: the "wipe" being referred to is an item-wipe to help make the game's economy work better with an influx of new players. This is planned to happen when the game leaves Early Access. The soonest we could realistically leave Early Access would be December 2021, and that's if we hit all our milestones this year. Last year was not a great year for us, both for understandable business reasons (our contractors didn't make all their art deliverables) and personal "holy shit this year sucks" reasons, so leaving Early Access in 2021 will require this year to not suck as badly. Long story short... I wouldn't count the days until the economy wipe, because it's a long ways away.)
