[Suggestion] Mount bugs and QoL suggestions

6 votes

Bugs

1) Riding a moa in big caves (caves connecting biomes) removes darkness so that you can see the whole cave. As soon as you dismount, it's dark again
2) You're getting storm exposure while mounted in big caves
3) If you got into a storm in arctic and your screen got frozen while mounted, it will never thaw
4) Mounts cannot get out of big cracks in ice in arctic biomes. They're getting stuck and cannot jump over. Dismounting in one of such cracks can lead to your character falling through ground.
5) Unstuck doesn't work when you're mounted

QoL suggestions

1) Mounts are getting stuck in small trees. Not very well thought out and very annoying, I'd rather have them go through or destroy small trees on their way.
2) Let us look around with right mouse when mounted
3) Let us assign AD to strafe, not turn

same issue here, mounts get stuck on objects, feeders, fences, walls, etc. Have destroy buildable objects to get them unstuck, or if they have saddle, jump on and move them, but this does not always work.

More bugs:
- Mounts follow you into caves.
- The follow state is unclear, add following or wandering to the tooltip when you look at them.
- Mounts can wander through walls, etc and so cannot be penned.
- Mounts wander into rivers all the time and get stuck.
- Cannot open gates when riding (not that mounts respect walls or gates anyway).
- Character model feet stretch off to infinity front and back sometimes when riding fast.
- Eating when when mounted doesn't apply buffs correctly. Sometimes buffs can become permanent or stack?!?

Since mounts will get themselves stuck in rivers, and cannot be penned (since they ghost through barricades) they can starve to death. Also when low on food you can't ride them out, although they can still jump. You need to hand feed them and then ride them out to the pen where they will eat, before going and getting stuck in the river again.

Getting wet and riding a mount can also cause the wet status to become permanent and stack... It looks like all statuses are bugged when it comes to mounts.

Can confirm when you would lose a buff or debuff while mounted, it remains visually but has no active effect. This includes the level of exposure that is tied to the heavy breathing sound, which can be annoying. Relogging seems to fix for now.

Mouse to look around and WASD to steer the mount.
Mouse AND keyboard to steer is not necessary.
