[@sillysalmon208]

I wonder if the experience gain will differ between the pups as they learn to hunt? Perhaps one of them is noticeably falling behind in development and they are then more vulnerable during hunts or more hungry since they can't catch toads and voles. At the moment with the wobbly to normal walk it seems like all the pups gain experience at the same time but I do think it would be cool for maybe the runts to be lagging behind a bit.

[@Obsidianoak]

I think individuals varying would be interesting- I personally would favour it being impacted by their temperament or personality vs the runt. I've met many a runt more full of vigor than the biggest in the litter once grown... also I ended up renaming a runt of mine ingame to "Livewire" because she was always starting the others off. First to poke the nose out last to lie down always at a stick or imaginary thing. Also I can run a -2 to all stats ironwolf... Maybe the more cautious and / or lazy gain slower? If they go that route.

Yeah my friends dog had 2 puppies and the runt still wobbles a bit to walk while the other bullies him 😂

Honestly a wonderful update its a fantastic transition to see these pups chasing the new critters and i think the critters will add a lot of life to the loafing phase (and hopefully exploring) of the game as well as i can see this comfortably transitioning into the pups chasing and catching the rabbits i often see foolishly sprinting through my rendezvous. i'd love to see them skittering around (uninteractable) with your main wolf exploring but i understand if that's a heavy load on the codes.

[@tobiramaisbesthokage]

Do you guys have plans for what happens to your family pack when you die from age or as an iron wolf? Will you be able to become your mate if they are still alive? If it's just the pups do wolves stay in family groups or move on. I would expect them to move on because since there isn't any mating pair irl but in the game maybe we can pick a pup to be leader and go out to find a mate then return? Losing hours of progress will hurt a lot, maybe we should have 2 ironwolf modes, 1 everything is gone and the other you can fall back to an existing wolf.

[@Bonniethebunny]

When your iron/elder wolf dies, it just skips to the end. The mate continues raising the pups, and a lot of the time, some of them won't survive. The surviving pups are accessed through the family tree of your wolf then, where you can grow them and play as them. If both you and your mate dies, and you don't get a new mate before your death, then all the pups will die to starvation, illness, and predation since they have no parents to protect and feed them. And some pups do stay with their family packs, but some will also disperse. The whole point of Ironwolf is to be the hardcore playstyle. And this system already exists. If you want to "fall back on an existing wolf" after dying, don't make that wolf an ironwolf. You can still play the ironwolf difficulties without being an ironwolf and it doesn't change the gameplay at all except allowing you to reload after you die. Ironwolf is the "One-Life, One-Death" mode. Just like real wolves. You have to be more cautious. That's the whole point. To have an Ironwolf function like a non-ironwolf is silly. The ironwolf achievements would be pointless then, and easy to obtain. It isn't meant to be that way.

[@tobiramaisbesthokage]

@@Bonniethebunny i really meant when the wolves are full grown, should have been specific.

[@1ChuckFrmDaLand]

@@tobiramaisbesthokagewhen they are full grown you will basically just start a new game with one of them as a dispersing two year old. You can’t resume inside the existing pack you just died leading. All of your living wolves should be playable. I, along with others, wish we could disperse with at least two other siblings of the same gender (how the NPC wolves in game do) from the existing pack after your death. That would be neat. And would mean your sibling(s) would likely stick around with you and your mate for a bit or a year until they decide to depart for their own mate.

[@1ChuckFrmDaLand]

I said the same thing about a second generation iron wolf within the same pack save as well. It’s not fair to disperse an entire strong pack because of one death lol but I get it
