Enemies/Old Bird

Updated 5 months ago

Old Bird

Settings Description
See Through Fog Old Birds do not have their vision impeded by foggy weather.
Restore Mech Riding Players can ride and drop items on top of Old Birds, like in v64.

Commentary

Vanilla gives individual enemies the capability to see through fog, but no enemies take advantage of that feature, normally.

I think it fits Old Birds well, with their 100,000 lumen searchlights. It also helps to differentiate them a bit from Forest Keepers, which are often far more of a threat to player safety.

(Note: This makes foggy Embrion extra scary!)

Regarding mech riding, it was a cool but unfortunately short-lived feature, due to causing some crazy buggy behavior with players. Since then, we've discovered the cause of the bug, but this feature has yet to see the light of day again in vanilla... In the meantime, mods work!
