Harvest: /* Notes */

[[CDB|Main]] / [[:Category:Skills|Skills]] / [[Nature]] / '''{{PAGENAME}}'''

== Description ==
''Animal husbandry'' allows for the production (breeding) of new creatures, sometimes with increased quality, without the need to wait for new [[spawn]]s.

===Characteristics gained===
Soul / [[Soul depth]]

== Grooming ==
Grooming is the main activity which gives animal husbandry skill.

*Activate a [[grooming brush]] and select ''groom'' while right-clicking on a groomable creature. This can be done to each animal once per hour.

== Shearing ==
Shearing is another activity which gives animal husbandry skill.

*Activate a [[scissors]] and select ''shear'' while right-clicking on a [[sheep]].

* [[Wool]] bundles drop to ground not inventory. Sheared wool weight seems to vary depending on age: Young 0.1kg, Adolescent 0.2kg, Mature 0.3kg, Aged 0.4kg, Old 0.5kg, Venerable 0.6kg.

== Breeding ==
* Lead one animal with a [[rope]] (or any item should it be wearing a [[bridle]]) and approach the second.
* When they are close enough together right click on the second animal and select the "Breed" option.

===Notes===
*Neither animal should be hungry.
*Neither animal should be of same gender.
*Both animals should be of the same species.
*Some animals require [[Tame|taming]] before being led, this does not apply to the second animal.

*Females will not breed while they are pregnant. Once the female gives birth, she will not be in mood for breeding for 24 real hours.
*Animals do not have to be "fat" to breed, only "no longer interested in food" (when trying to feed them). Grass eaters will typically be in this state after a minute or 2 on grass or crops.
*[[Age]] is a factor in breeding: [[calves]] or [[foal]]s will not breed, neither will young/early adolescent animals. (Horses will breed at 25 rl days old -Harvest)
*Pregnancy times varies from 5-11 wurm [[Time|weeks]], regardless of species.
*Examining the animal will show the remaining wurm weeks left until birth. eg. ''She will deliver in about 4''
*Animals can have miscarriages which may kill the mother with no offspring spawned. Starving, off-deed, or on-deed below 15 ratio are known as the reasons for miscarriages.
*If too hungry or low on fat animals can die when giving birth.
*Breeding female animals with [[animal conditions|conditions]] such as [[Champion]] will provide a chance that the offspring will also have that characteristic. This chance is dramatically increased when breeding two animals with the same condition together. (Two Champions for example.)
*Breeding two animals with the same trait greatly increases the chance that the offspring will have the trait.
*The horse name is determined at birth, the traits are determined at breeding.
*The horse's color from birth is determined based on 1/3 by the mother, 1/3 by the father, and 1/3 by random.

===Messages===
; '''''animal'' shys away and interrupts the action''' : breeding has failed, the male will not breed again for some time.
; '''''animal'' is not in the mood''' : the male will not breed again for some time.


=== Traits ===
Bred animals have a chance of gaining traits, enhancements or deformities. Animals may have multiple traits, those can be seen in the table below. All traits are put into the gene pool when breeding and those of the parents will increase the chance of the offspring having the same. Should both parents have the same trait the likelihood of the offspring gaining that trait is even higher. Inbreeding adds a chance that bad traits will appear.

The breeder's Animal husbandry affects the minimum and maximum number of traits that will appear in a horse. The maximum number of traits you can breed into one animal is currently 8 at 80+ skill.

Animal husbandry is only partially on the [[Curve]]. The curved value (effective skill) allows you see traits at that level (not true for bred in captivity trait which requires 60 numerical to see even on epic). But the actual value (numerical) is used for computing the number of traits you can breed.

Examining an animal will show traits if one has the required skill level.

=== Inbreeding ===

Inbreeding occurs when an offspring is bred with either of its parents. It's typically unavoidable in small herds but after 3 generations the requirement to inbreed will be removed; it's advised to seek neighbours to begin a herd if one wishes to avoid inbreeding. There is a chance to add extra negative traits to animals bred with their parents, which won't count towards the regular trait limit. Some players have observed that deceased parents will not count towards the inbreeding check at the time of birth.

"I have often used it as a method of breeding, to kill the old parents when I had too many horses that had a parent in common. After the parents are dead, you can breed and get normal horses. Leave the parents alive and you get lots of bad traited animals." [http://forum.wurmonline.com/index.php?/topic/65441-split-off-from-animal-congestion-fix/page__st__20#entry643716 Source]

* 1 Traits are either unknown or unconfirmed.
* 2 Traits may be removed by casting [[Genesis]].
* 3 Genesis cast on animals with this trait will cause it to slowly regain strength up to its original level.

== Caring ==

To prolong venerable animals from dying of old age they may be cared for. To care for an animal stand next to it and right click, select ''Care for''. If you start caring for that animal this message will appear:

;You now care specially for Aged fat Tearbabe, to ensure longevity. You may care for x more creatures.

=== Notes ===

* Hostile creatures must be tamed first before they can be cared for.
* The total number of animals which may be cared for is limited by the animal husbandry skill of the player. If the player is unable to care for more animals this message will appear:
;You may not care for any more creatures right now. You are already caring for 1 creatures.
*1 animal may be cared for plus 1 additional for every 10 skill in animal husbandry. So at 40 Animal husbandry skill a player can care for 5 animals.
*Non-premium players can only care for 1 animal.
*The chat command ''/stopcaring'' will stop the player from caring for all animals. This message will appear:
;You no longer care for the one creature you used to.
*To stop caring for a specific animal right click the animal and select 'care for'.
*A list of all the animals cared for may be listed by using the command ''/caringfor''

==[[Titles]]==
* Drover at 50 skill
* Granger at 70 skill

Nutrition

2014-05-23T23:19:49Z

Harvest: /* Effects */

== Description ==
'''Nutrition''' is a measure of how well fed you are, or how much nutrition is in your body; not to be mistaken for [[health]] or [[food]] level. Your current nutrition level can be seen by hovering mouse over the thirst/hunger bar. It is also reflected by the color of the hunger bar: darker green is better.

== Effects ==
* Your nutrition level affects how soon you will become hungry, or the speed at which your food bar drops.
* High nutrition will give you a maximum skill gain bonus of 5%, while low nutrition gives you a maximum skill gain penalty of 5%. Nutrition between 40 and 60 will not give any bonus or penalty.
**At 60% nutrition you receive a 1% bonus to skill gain. You receive a 1% bonus every with every 10% increase in nutrition after that with a total of 5% skill gain at the maximum nutrition of 99%.
* Nutrition also has a currently unknown effect on wound healing time.

== Nutritive food ==
Any food has a nutrient value. Eating food will make your body's nutrition level go towards the food's nutrient value. Raw vegetables, cheese, and raw meat have the lowest nutrient values.

For the best nutrition, eat the dish while it is still hot. Cold dishes will nourish you less, although you can re-heat them later. Note that your action timer will be different, saying ''eating hot meal'' instead of ''eating meal'', for example.

* Raw [[meat]] may nourish you to about 11%.
* [[Cooked meat]] may nourish you to about 17%.
* [[Heart]] from a lava fiend may nourish you to 30-31%.
* [[Fish]] of low [[quality]] may nourish you up to 32%.
* [[Stew]] may nourish you to about 12-20%.
* [[Gulasch]] and [[casserole]]s may nourish you to about 40-70%.
* [[Meal]]s and [[sandwich]]es may nourish you from 60% to 100%. Eating hot meals provides approximately 8% better nutrition. As a benchmark, a 50ql meal will provide 80% when hot or 72% nutrition cold.

''Note: This change was added on [[Wurm_Server_Release_Notes_2009#090508|8th May 2009]]. Still needing information on [[porridge]], [[soup]] and [[bread]] nutrient values and decay rate.''

* This may need further confirmation, but Cooked meat may have higher nutrition value, than listed here. (Slowly rose my nutrition level from 26 to 32%, may not be limit, food was not hot; 2nd September 2012)

Large cart

2013-01-20T18:11:53Z

Harvest: /* Subcomponents */

[[CDB|Main]] / [[Skills]] / [[Carpentry]] / [[Fine carpentry]] / '''{{PAGENAME}}'''

{{Item
|name=Large cart
|image=Large cart.jpg
|active=[[plank]] (2.00 kg)
|passive=[[small wheel axle]]
|group=Containers
|materials=* 15 [[plank]]
* 2 [[shaft]] (1.00 kg)
* 4 [[small nails]]
* 1 [[yoke]]
|result=1 large cart
|skill=fine carpentry}}

== Description ==
''A fairly large two wheel cart designed to be dragged by an animal.''

'''Large carts now requires 20.10 [[mind logic]] to be commanded, but they can still be dragged at any skill level.'''

A '''large cart''' is a mobile [[container]] used to transport cargo or [[player]]. It has a larger capacity than its smaller counterpart [[small cart]], it can be [[drag]]ged by a player or led by up to two [[animals]], and it can be locked with a [[large padlock]]. A large cart can have a commander and up to three additional passengers.

== Subcomponents ==
* 1x [[small wheel axle]]

=== Total Materials ===
* 7 [[shaft]]
* 22 [[plank|planks]]
* 4 [[small nails]]
* 1 [[yoke]]

Large carts can be difficult to start and continue at very low [[fine carpentry]] skill, so it is a good idea to make a few extra parts.

When deciding wood type, you can choose which piece goes on last so it doesn't matter which piece is of you chosen wood type.

== Hitching ==
*To hitch an animal to a cart, lead it with [[rope]], right-click the cart, and select "Hitch".
*To unhitch one of the animals, embark the cart as commander, right-click that animal and choose "Unhitch".
*To unhitch both animals from the cart, right-click the cart and select "Unhitch".

=== Hitching Notes ===
* 20.10 [[mind logic]] is needed to hitch animals.
* The large cart needs to be at least 10 [[quality]] before animals can be hitched to it.
* Hitching any animal will allow you to move the the cart slowly. Weight doesn't matter, only quantity. A second animal only makes it faster.
* [[Hell horse]]s are the fastest hitched animals yet discovered (use to be [[Brown Bear]]s)
* Carts do not gain a speed advantage from traveling downhill, but are slowed when going uphill as with mounted creatures.
* Animals cannot drag a cart over tiles that have a total [[slope]] of any two adjacent edges over 39.
* All the usual animal traits and statuses like hurting will affect their cart-dragging speed.
* Driver [[stamina]] is drained while driving the cart. Running out of stamina has no effect on the speed.

=== Animals that can be hitched ===
* [[Horse]] (adult, not foal)
* [[Bull]] (not cows)
* [[Bison]]
* [[Hell horse]] (young and adolescent, fastest known)
* [[Brown bear]] when tamed (young and adolescent)
* [[Black bear]] when tamed (young and adolescent)
* [[Troll]] when dominated (young and adolescent)

Note : the strength of a creature can prevent it from being hitched - [[Animal conditions|conditions]] such as "greenish" affect their strength.

== Security ==
Upon finishing the large cart, the last person who had the unfinished cart in the [[inventory]] becomes the owner. However if it was finished in the inventory no owner is set and the ''Manage vehicle'' option is not available even to the player who finished the large cart. Ownership can be transferred by the owner to any other player in the vehicle management window.

The owner and any person with the ''Manage'' right can manage the usage permissions through a window available via the ''Manage vehicle'' menu option.

The permissions control ''drive'' (embarking as commander), ''mount'' (embarking as a passenger), ''accessing the inventory hold'' of the cart and ''managing the settings''.
Each of these rights can be granted or denied to ''all friends'', ''all villagers'' and ''everyone''. The owner always has all permissions. The settings only take affect if the cart is locked, however.

The owner of the large cart can attach a [[large padlock]] to it to enable permissions. The lock can be removed by everyone in possession of the key, but only the owner can attach it again.

Another player can drag a locked cart regardless of what [[large padlock]] enabled management settings are used. Since server restarts unhitch animals, its possible another could drag your locked cart away. Two simple solutions are 1) to put heavy things in your cart or 2) store the cart in a secure area. As an example, if you were to put a [[small barrel]] in a cart and then a bunch of 100 kg unfinished [[charcoal pile]]s in the barrel, it would make dragging more difficult. Furthermore, management option will prevent these others from accessing the inventory or using animals to drive the cart away.

On [[Freedom]] carts can not be [[Lockpicking|lockpicked]]. Trying to do so will result in the following message: ''Stealing carts is punished with death penalty here. You decide not to''.

== Notes ==
* The type of wood currently does not effect the texture or color of the cart.
* The [[quality]] of the cart affects its [[decay]] rate; there is no other bonuses from increasing the quality of carts.
* The volume of items will affect what fits in the cart. See the [[Container]] page for a item volume list.
* Although carts cannot be dragged in [[water tile]]s, they can be pushed. They can be dragged through tiles with 5 slope of water or less.
* 24.60 kg of [[dye]] is needed to paint a large cart.
* The maximum weight a player can drag in a large cart is determined by the formula: ([[strength|Body Strength]] * 7 - carried weight) * 10 - 240.
*'''As of 1.0 it is no longer known if the following is true. Use caution when building in carts:''' Items can be stowed in large carts during construction, but will drop out when too heavy and will encumber the cart during construction. If the item becomes too heavy to remove and too heavy to finish, the cart will be useless and the item cannot be removed. If boats are being made in it, then it is advisable to take the cart to the water before finishing the boat.

=== Useful capacity quantities ===
*7 [[raft]]s or finished [[support beams]].
*18 [[felled tree]]s
*59 [[slab]]s
*73 [[log]]s
*100 [[dirt]]s, [[heap of sand]], [[peat]]s, [[ore]]s or [[Rock shards]]. This can be increased to 312 if 6 or 7 rafts are used.
*100 [[hull plank]]s

The capacity can be adjusted by stacking other [[container]]s, such as [[raft]]s, inside.
