[Verlia]

-Bees
-Butterflies
-Wasps
-dragonflies
-Tarantula Hawks
?

[...:eAGLe:...]

Thats a bit sad about the update. was motivated to play the game again, but I also cant understand why we are not able to ride the most new tames

[Valdyr]

I don't care about the rest, but ride-able dragonflies would be amazing.

[Treech]

We can ride damselfly but not dragonfly? Hornet but not wasp? That's sad. I am checking out the update now and it seems that we can ride green beetle at least... which is slow and pointless.

I tamed 2 Torantula Hawks , dragonfly, and butterfly and can't mount/ride any of them.

YeH I'd LOVE to ride the tarantula hawks!

Like to toss an agreement on this, would like to be able to ride most creatures, or at the very least give some of them functions.
For instance ants not in party wandering around the base of your tree and harvesting wood/plants and put them in a predetermined chest would be neat. Make it so they're ignored by other wildlife so you don't have to worry about reviving them constantly.
Spiders doing the same but killing other insects and bringing insect parts.
Dragonfly's gathering random scrap loot.

Not be an easy thing to add, and not necessarily think it should be *that* but at least do more than be living collectibles xD

I like the idea. Like an ant trail going up and down your tree for a constant trickle of resources. Or a wasp that brings a "gift" of bug's lymph, like a cat (Look what I got for you! Are you happy?).

I was planning on starting the game again but looks like it's still not worth it.
By the way, I guess spiders and geckos still can't climb vertical surfaces?

[Lord Quinton]

well ♥♥♥♥, and i'd just spent a bunch of time getting traps ready to try to tame this nocturnal dragonfly i found that looks damn cool. so much for that plan

[Ensign Toby]

Why can't we ride:
-Bees
Chafing - ouchie

-Butterflies
Weight Limit, you really should eat less

-Wasps
Sliding Off their slick carapace

-dragonflies
Nausea, since they can't fly in a straight line

-Tarantula Hawks
Makes 'em very cranky, and you really don't want that
---------
However, I was seriously bummed not being able to ride the Tarantula Hawks.
Was going to use a pair to help take out all the Turrets... <sigh>

Nope, they climb just about as well as you do normally.

[Work_Out_Maniac]

I have an issue were I'm not able to get the recipe from the historian.. I cant even tame a hornet 0-0.

[Masta_Crixus]

tbh... even in 2024 almost 2025, i would wait for them to update the game ... too many bugs (hehe) and many useless tames with no purpose like the dragonfly and tarantula hawk hornet we cant ride. game still feels like its in beta and im guessing its going to take ALOT of time for them to complete it because they are slow af.

[Mesarthim]

The game is very clunky, building and crafting doesn't feel great either and I don't think this will ever change.
When they release an update, I hope each time it will change but instead they add unnecessary stuff.

At this point, I feel like we will get a few more updates with new stuff and then they'll call it a day. Sure we'll get a game with a bunch of content but nothing memorable.
And it's probably better that way, they should make a new game and switch to a better engine.

and the beetles could function as drop off points. like one ant harvests one resource per second, moves at x per second, which means one ant harvests one resource per distance divided by time. or could assign a party with three or four ants and a beetle or two so the beetle can move slower but with multiple stacks instead of one resource.

or at least maybe a function where you could send beetles home?
