Talk:Slugpup

Am I the only one who is highly disturbed by the fact we know how many food pips they give? Maybe the Scavs wrote that down idk who could hurt those guys.


 * I would have said we got this information by looking at the code... but it's not true, I only looked after it was already tested.

No you are not. second question that is slightly less disturbing because we didnt eat them ourselves, why do we know about the taming value for lizards? And it says that they are available for 3 slugcats, so who is the third? It only says hunter and survivor. "When held, Slugpups may take hits for the Slugcat from Scavenger icon.png Scavenger Spears, Spitter Spider icon.png Spitter Dart Maggots, and Lizards icon.png Lizard bites." WHO KEEPS WRITING THIS??

Hey mee3eep, just want to let you know that the third is Gourmand that can have pups in their campaign. -Archangel

Scavengers
I've been raising a slugpup in a Survivor campaign and haven't had any trouble with scavengers so far, we have fun hanging out with them actually! Fairly good babysitters in indoor rooms- although I do have Chieftain. I've seen others have their slugpups attacked in their own playthroughs though, with relatively high reputation, so while I think scavengers' apparent fear may be connected to the reputation of whatever slugcat adopted the pup, it could be something entirely different.

Or it was just a bug and I haven't paid attention enough/ am theorizing too much Scavsarecool (talk) 04:53, 25 February 2023 (UTC)

Were any mods installed? cause we have like a whole video showcasing this fear. thinking friends of friends may touch their "slugpuppophobia" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wnyIGy89IWo I would make a time-lapse gif but it's probably too jokey for this wiki. --SlugMaple653 (talk) 16:01, 25 February 2023 (UTC)


 * I've heard why they attack pups is that they're quick and that freaks out scavs. granted, youtube comment source of hearsay. MetaMetang (talk) 03:53, 31 March 2023 (UTC)
 * Slugpups share a lot of the same variables as the player, including relationships. If the slugcat has high reputation with scavengers, that will carry over to the pup as well.
 * A pup jumping and running towards a scav is just like a player jumping and running towards a scav, if they have low rep, they may kill the pup! Astralslygcat (talk) 06:41, 31 March 2023 (UTC)
 * Yeah we investigated this awhile ago i just never updated the talk page. back then the assumption was that scavengers were afraid of slugpups for no reason, previously some people made a headcanon on how the Artificer was responsible for the slugpuppophobia, I saw a tumblr post starting this and figured i should actually look into it cause it just sounded dumb as it cited the wiki page.
 * look into DnSpy see socialdependant, check the debugvisualizer we have and what do you know they aren't always afraid. SlugMaple653 (talk) 12:31, 31 March 2023 (UTC)

Icons
Wouldn't we also have to make an icon for s? if the new icons are for colorblind parity then the Slugpup icon looking similar to the icon count as needing a new icon? Editorhaha (talk) 13:53, 27 March 2023 (UTC)

Movement
slugpups AI is far dumber than we previously thought, especially on the movement side of things the current edit on movement is correct and Willow helped me fix it. MetaMetang (talk) 04:30, 29 April 2023 (UTC)
