Groups
Players are able to form groups. The groups can be called either herds or packs depending on the creature.
A herd can consist of three mixed species of different herbivores.
A pack consists of a single species of carnivore.
Creatures who are not in the same group will suffer from comfort loss if they remain near each other due to intimidation. Intimidation may be worse depending on how much negative [friendship] the players have with each other.
To invite someone to a group you can use a few different methods.
- Double-tapping the player list key (Default: Tab), scrolling to the player's name, and clicking the action drop-down to invite the desired user to the group.
- The Chatbox can be used to invite someone to a group by using the /invite command. By doing /invite followed by the name of the player, it will send a request for them to join your group.
- Walking up to an invitable creature and pressing the USE key (Default: E) to send an invite.
- Using the in-game group finder tool to open the party for others to request invites into the group.
Once in a group, you'll be able to see the locations of your groupmates via the location of their player tags. You're able to toggle the display of these tags by using the toggle group tags key (Default: i).
Over time, members of a group will become friends with each other, which increases the amount of comfort when near each other and reduces the amount of friendly fire.
While in group with a member of the same species and the opposite gender, players can make use of the nesting system to bring new life into the world.
