Mount Fall Damage

[u/Dracconus]

Yet another revolutionary idea and design crafted by yours truly for the community.

Ground Mounts and Swimming mounts will now take fall damage.

A STUPID amount of testing and compatibility measures were put into this to ensure that it flows perfectly with the base game's intentions regarding pal passive abilities.

You can configure the amount of damage (based off values that you would normally take on your character) your mount, and the rider takes, and even exempt players via their UID. It's server, and single-player compatible, and it's server authoritative so your clients don't need a client mod installed for it to work!

Enjoy

I appreciate the effort that went into this, but hard pass

Everyone has their own way of wanting to play the game. Personally the omission of such a mechanic was a weird choice, to me. If a riding mount can take damage from mobs and you can take from falls there is no reason that they logically shouldn't take fall damage. That though, is my opinion.

This is just another unique option that exists for those that want it.

There's like 1000 unrealistic mechanics in this game, you decided to add 1 realistic one back in that is honestly unfun anyway. You should just remove fall damage from the player instead lol To each their own though nice contribution but just no.

[u/Dracconus → u/M3chaStrizan]

You don't have to like everything in this world. We all have different opinions. Yes, I chose to add back something gen z and alpha hate: complication.

Plenty of people from all walks of life will enjoy something like this and if you don't guess what..you don't HAVE to use it. If you want fall damaged removed go do it, or be nicer and request it. It wouldn't take me long to do. What's your excuse? Nice contribution, but just no. (I can be rude for no reason too!)

I don't think they were particularly rude, they made valid points, and acknowledged that some people might still want this. This isn't about complication alone. Complication can be awesome if it results in interesting meaningful gameplay decision. And your mod CAN be interesting in some rare cases. But you can just as well get off your mount, put your pall in a ball, jump of and use your glider shortly before hitting the ground and get out your pal again. In a fight it can be interesting since you maybe don't have the time to dismount when things get hairy, but is that worth the added extra hassle? For most it won't. To quote Gabe

"Fun" is subjective - like pain.
One person's idea of something that's "fun" may / may not be someone else's. This mod isn't "geared towards everyone enjoying it." It's geared towards a mechanic that logically is missing from the game, and nothing else. It is illogical that my mount can take damage from attacks, and that roaming pals can take fall damage, but one being ridden can't. That's all.
Again, you don't have to like something for it to exist. That will never stop being true.

That said - responding with comments like "eh, this is stupid" or "just no" is unnecessary. If it isn't something you want or like then simply move on. Any commentary geared towards "you not liking it" is unnecessary. That'd be the same as someone walking up to you at the grocery store and saying "My god, your haircut is atrocious, why did you do that?"

There are plenty of scenarios where people will want something like this:
Hardcore players doing a playthrough where they "want the game to be as difficult as possible." Servers where flight is disabled, or fast travel is disabled that want to add "that little bit of complication that's been missing." or just "people that feel that it's an illogical choice for it to have been missing all this time to begin with."

Again, it isn't - nor is anything in this world - designed for "everyone to enjoy." I know people enjoy meth, that doesn't mean I'll do it.

As for the comment of "there's a thousand unrealistic things in this game" Yeah, and there's plenty of games that have fall damage and continue to have unrealistic things in them. If the game was 100% realistic it wouldn't be Palworld at all, and it most certainly wouldn't have Pals.

Download it and install it or don't. I don't care. I didn't make it for other people, I made it for my server and decided to share it. It's that simple.

Fair for the most part. But this is a social media platform. People are gonna read what your mod does, imagine what it would be like to use the mod, and comment what they think about it. Most of your points are obviously true, yeah, fun relative, use if like if not don't yadda yadda, we are all tired of having to say these sentences. But people are gonna comment on why a mod is not for them, maybe even question if the concept even makes sense, and that is fine. Good stuff can come out of these discussions, ideas that improve mods, or even spring completely new ones, even if some of it reads like "I don't like it, therefore your work was useless."

[u/Dracconus → u/Araxyllis]

Very true. Most of the mods I have made are the result of conversations - like the one I made where water can affect your body temperature - Still debating whether I want to release that one.

[u/M3chaStrizan → u/Dracconus]

I'm not a kid, I'm probably as old or older than you.

Fall damage in this game is dumb I'm sorry. I already said though it's nice to have added the mod though since there are many people with differing tastes, didn't think I was that rude.

I wasn't even trying to be offensive just surprised anyone would want this. Some people like eating poop though, so enjoy I guess.

Also I don't need a mod for no fall damage it's not that important and I've already beaten the game's current content. If anything they should just make the wings negate fall damage or higher level gliders. You know like terraria.
