Event for animal spawn

Postby Millhouse » Wed Mar 16, 2016 3:49 am

It would be nice to get an event notification when a domesticated animal spawns. I'm often checking with multiple characters daily on animal packs but it's easy to miss it when it happens. It would also be a nice little boost in morale and could spark some RP when the event happens.

I agree.

I moved it straight to accepted suggestions, because it's straightforward and seems an obvious innovation. So unless some staff member tells me I've gone mad, this should be ok ;-)

It should probably not count as something that lights up your character again, but I think this is a good idea.

I assume that'd be somehting you can set yourself, like all other event types.

I suggest that it's another option in activity settings that you can toggle on or off.

I still find a need for this. Recently I had a character neglect to look at the animal page for about a week or so and his meager flock of sheep had a population explosion which was quickly consuming all of his feed.
