Switch Off Animal Actions

[Pulpcatcher]

At the moment I find myself looking through reams of information on the migration of animals, 752-7: You see 1 turkeys arriving in Blojt Forest (west), etc. Since I'm not interested in all that and the information clogs up the screen, would it be possible to implement a filter on animal actions so that when switched on, only character actions are visible?

Sorry if this has been mentioned elsewhere already, but I think it's a an issue that should be looked at.

The whole animal thing seems to be looked at and somewhat compromised. But I agree it is annoying to see animals come and go; maybe there should be a limitation on animal moving. As I suggested, animals moving only one time a day, preferably when the minutes reset, because it seems to clog the server, from what I can tell. Annoying.

So limit, population regrowth as has been done, and severly limit their movement, as in evolution it took animals years to adapt to new environment, and only migrate per seasons. i.e.

720-1: You see the entire herd of sheep migrating to Djorf Hills (South).
730-1: You see the entire herd of sheep returning.
730-1: You see the entire flock of pigeons migrating to Djorf Hills (West).

It is an awareness issue

In my opnion animals must come in and out hourly becuase people do and when my band comes into your town to kill you we will be mixed in with the buffolos.

There should be a choice for non-guards to ignore that and a host of other irritating things.

maybe when you check cantr, it just adds up all the (animal), who arrived since you last check, like instead of, you see 1 turkey arrive, 1 buffaloe arrive, 1 turkey arrive, 1 turkey arrive...it would say you see 3 turkeys and 1 buffaloe...
