Description
A post to hitch creatures.
Use
Lead a creature with a Rope or Halter rope. Right click the hitching post and select Hitch.
- Hitched creatures will prefer to eat from the food trough if it contains food they can eat.
- Hitched creatures that graze will eat from the trough at the same rate they would normally graze
- If the food trough is empty or does not contain suitable food, grazing animals will try to graze the tile the hitching post is on.
- A Hitching post can hold a maximum of 3 creatures
Permissions
Hitching posts have 3 permissions: Manage, Open and Use.
- Manage grants all permissions including permission management.
- Open allows access to the food trough. Normal deed permissions apply to the contents of the food trough.
- Use allows hitching of led creatures and unhitching of any or all creatures by either:
- Right-clicking a hitched creature and selecting Unhitch to unhitch a single creature, or
- Right-clicking the hitching post and selecting Animals > Unhitch to unhitch all hitched creatures.
- Hitching posts are locked on creation with a small padlock.
- A Small or Large padlock is required to manage permissions.
- An unlocked Hitching post can be used by the Hitching post owner and the Deed mayor if located on a deed.
Hitchable Animals
- Any creature that you can hitch to a cart such as Horse, Hell horse, Bull, Bison, Donkey, and Mule (at any age).
- Aggressive creatures when controlled in some manner (tamed or dominated) such as Brown bears, Wolves, Mountain lions, Large rats, Wild cats, and Trolls.
- Farm animals such as Rams, Sheep, Pigs, Cows, Hens and Roosters, and including lambs and calves.
- Usually non-aggressive animals but only when tamed such as Dogs, Unicorns, Pheasants, Deer and Seals.
- Jackal creatures such as the Weta
Notes
- Hell horses become docile when hitched and have food available.
- Cannot be picked up but can be transported by Wagon.
- You can not load or move a hitching post with creatures hitched to it.
- Creatures that are not hitched can not eat from a locked hitching post food trough.
- Creatures that are required to be tamed before being hitched will unhitch when they are no longer tame.
- Creatures can be groomed, milked, sheared, shod etc. while hitched.
- Creatures hitched to a hitching post will not cause disease in other hitched creatures.
- You cannot hitch creatures to a post below 10 quality. The hitching post is in too poor shape to restrain animals.
- If the effective quality of a Hitching post falls below 10 due to decay damage or other factors, creatures that are hitched will not unhitch.
