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.
  • Hitched pigs will not eat corpses on the ground while there is food in the trough.
  • 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

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 cannot be branded 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.
