Pony Origins

A new update for Pony Origins has arrived!

The Flight Update

This update contains a lot of new features, improvements centered around flight, and lots of QoL improvements and bug fixes.

What's New

• Every race now has species-appropriate hurt and death sounds!
• Dragons can now huddle around a warm enough (bright enough) light source to warm up.
• New Flight Hazard: Freezing
• • Snowstorms will build up ice on your wings! Stepping into freezing environments with wet wings will freeze the water! This is bad!
• • Fully frozen wings can't be used at all, and other hazards will collect on them without being cleared.
• • Feathered wings are more resilient against freezing, and won't freeze in a snowstorm. Membraneous and insectoid wings will freeze in a snowstorm if you don't fly to throw the ice off.
• • Stepping into a warm environment will cause your frozen wings to thaw out, the hotter the faster. Beware, frostbite can be a slow, agonizing death if you're unprepared! Membraneous and insectoid wings are especially vulnerable to the injuries it causes.
• Wearing an Ad Astra Spacesuit can prevent your wings from getting soaked or injured. However, this halves your flight speed.

What's Changed

• Flight hazards are no longer immediate - when exposed to a hazard, it will build up first, and only when it reaches its max does the hazard stop you from flying. Depending on the hazard and conditions, this can take time, or be very quick
• Standing in the rain will build up waterlogging, but feathered wings will not become completely waterlogged in this manner
• Flying throws off water and ice, and if you have membraneous or insectoid wings, oil as well.
• Changelings still get waterlogged in the rain, though they can delay it by flying fast
• Cobwebs dramatically slow you down when flying into them. This is followed by getting tangled in the cobweb and being unable to fly until you pick the webs out of your wings.

What's Fixed

• Changelings and Levitation Power now properly scales your horizontal flight speed
• Changelings and Levitation Power now has the correct vertical flight speed scaling
• Fructivores now get the correct amount of hunger from fresh fruits and meals with fruit in them.
• Flight is now split into two powers - Main and Hazards. This is to fix a problem with the backend and reduce inconsistencies. Additionally, Flight is now optimized to minimize the performance impact of the game mechanics upgrade.
• Fixed bugs in Chaos and Web Shot
• Taming now tames creatures correctly - tameable creatures can be tamed, rideable creatures will become tame, and creatures that can trust you will now trust you. Additionally, energy won't be wasted by trying to tame untamable entities.
• The above introduces three entity tags, which only support vanilla creatures at the moment, but will be expanded upon to support mob mods later.
• Flora no longer grows infinite flower heads from certain flowers. As entertaining as it is to crash the sunflower market, server owners everywhere will appreciate this fix.
• Particles for shedding off flight hazards have been tweaked for better visibility.
• Thunder should properly detect the weather and sky visibility now.
• Small fixes here and there

What's Coming

• More mod support (use your tags, Timmy!)
• Finalizing all the stats (is flight too fast? etc.)
• Backport to 1.19.2? (Conversion of damage tags to damage sources, conversion to apugli for powers unsupported in 1.19.2)
