Alien Fauna System Testing ‐ Entitiy Drops, Taming, Combat, Spawning

Introduction

This is a guide to system testing for taming, item dropping, spawning and combat related to alien fauna. This guide proceeds with the assumption that the player already has the necessary items (e.g., food, weapons) to complete the following actions. For testing purposes the items can be directly spawned into the player's inventory in SpaceGameArea. To attain these items within the game, the player needs to complete quests and follow the wiki as required.

How to tame an animal

Taming and feeding integration

1. Identify a passive, tameable animal's favourite food using the animal wiki. This example will proceed with the Ear of Cosmic Cob item for taming a cow.

2. Locate a cow

3. Feed, by left clicking, as many Ear of Cosmic Cobs to the cow until a green circle appears around the cow (this process will randomised). This indicates that the cow has been tamed.

How to feed an animal for item drops

Taming and item drop integration

1. Tame a cow
2. Feed the cow two Ear of Cosmic Cobs. This will drop space cow milk that the player can pick up

How to kill an animal for item drops

Combat/Weapons and item drop integration

1. Select the gun/sword item in the inventory and locate a cow or chicken (they drop food on death)

2. If you're using a sword, position the player right next to the animal. If you're using a gun, aim at the animal. Left click to use the weapon.

3. The death drop item will be dropped and the entity will be disposed of.

Observing spawning

Spawning and time system integration

• Spawning for hostile fauna only begins once the hostile quest is completed.
• Passive fauna spawning occurs periodically from the beginning of the game. Refer to the animal wiki for exact details on each animals spawning behaviour. Animals spawn semi-randomly on traversable tiles throughout the map. Spawning cycles span days, so it is recommended to speed up the in game time to observe spawning at a faster rate.
