Fall damage.

[La Criatura Espada]

On a cat. A slug, cat.
WHAT. THE ♥♥♥♥.

[La Criatura Espada]

Not only that, but the red popcorn things don't regen after you go back in cycles WHAT AAAAAA

[Scrundle]

Well, a cat is known for falling good distance and surviving as you say but I think that our dear slugcat is a little larger and has a little more mass than the average housecat. Scale comparison with the bricks you can pick up would put slugcat at near human size. I'd assume such a big cat wouldn't be happy with a 100ft drop.

I don't know if the popcorn plants ever regenerate or if they just take many cycles to regrow but if they did reappear too often then they would kind of minimize the whole hunting aspect of gameplay.

I'm glad you are enjoying the game.

Yeah right? Plus, it's not just a cat, it's also a slug, and I'm sure that a slug which falls from a skycrapper will just splash onto the ground xD

They do regenerate, but it takes more time than other fruits I believe. Or maybe I'm wrong, it's the impression I have though.

The popcorn does regen. It needs four cycles I think. While most fruits need only two.

And fall damage does not exist for slug cat assuming there is a solid ground in that room. Otherwise falling into the void is basically falling a signifcant enough height to be fatal.

Also, cat's do land on their feet. But they can't fall from great heights without harm.

Yup. But, well, harm is only being knocked out for a couple of seconds. I've actually never died because of that.

Honestly being able to just dive down a ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ pit has saved my ass a number of times.

Rolling dived away from a gang of lizards, fell two screens and landed directly into a tunnel

It's why if you throw a cat out of a third story window, it'll die, but off a ten story, it'll walk away unharmed.

I'm not sure I got it right. Cats, or Slugcats, will fall faster than terminal velocity if thrown out of a ten story window? And thus survive? Or did I understand the terminal velocity thing wrong?

It's a physics thing: once you've hit terminal velocity, area / wind resistance etc kicks in and the landing has much less energy. Ironically, if the distance is too low, it doesn't kick in, and they die.

In a 1987 study of 132 cats brought to a New York City emergency veterinary clinic after falls from high-rise buildings, 90% of treated cats survived and only 37% needed emergency treatment to keep them alive. One that fell 32 stories onto concrete suffered only a chipped tooth and a collapsed lung and was released after 48 hours.

From the moment they're in the air to the instant after they hit the ground, cats' bodies are built to survive high falls, scientists say.

They have a relatively large surface area in proportion to their weight, thus reducing the force at which they hit the pavement.

Cats reach terminal velocity, the speed at which the downward tug of gravity is matched by the upward push of wind resistance, at a slow speed compared to large animals like humans and horses.

Basically: cats are designed for trees. Falling from height = non fatal. Falling from lower heights = fatal.

You might need to check your math and physics knowledge there buddy. Kinetic energy is determined by speed and mass. The instanious energy of when you hit the ground from a third story fall is lower than that of terminal velocity. Because terminal velocity implies that it's the cieling for your speed. (Remember that Gravity is a force. Which means it's an element that will accelerate any object in space. The definition of acceleration is the change in velocity over time.)

That being said, for Humans terminal velocity is around 450m or 1500 ft. It will take twelves seconds to hit that speed under the effects of gravity.

If you fell from f*cking space, and assuming that you aren't cooked by the forces of friction, you will still hit the ground with the same exact impact as if you were to fall from 450m. What winds up killing you is how quickly energy is exchanged. So how quickly you accelerate or decelerate. Hitting the ground and sticking is a little less fatal than hitting the ground and bouncing.

And Conversely, it works the same way. If you were to be moved instaniously with a speed that flings you across the United states without anything actually hitting you, it'd be just like hitting the ground after falling a great height.

[Scrundle]

I think cats being more hurt from low heights than from terminal velocity height is related to them preparing for the impact as opposed to somehow taking less damage at a higher speed, which makes little sense. A cat in freefall twists its body to position its legs to cushion the impact, I imagine the damage would be greater if it hit the ground before it finished this maneuver.

So, in the industrial complex, at the top where vultures can appear, THOSE FRIGGEN ROPES OFF THE SIDE ARE JUST THERE FOR NO REASON WHAT AAAAAA Aaq xst45 'l, ;4

Yuup! It tried too: "Oh, my map's showing off something on the sides, I'm gonna take a look ... *a few moments later* You trolled me game!" xD
