Is it possible to survive by only eating from the cattle ranch in WolfQuest? Let's find out! Please comment any ideas, feedback, or criticism you have! Thanks for watching! :3 Recording - OBS Studio Editing - Kdenlive
Hey there, cool vid! A little while ago I decompiled all the code regarding how the cattle ranch works (you can read the summary of my work on the ranch traps page of the wolfquest wiki), here’s a couple little fun facts about how it works that you can see happen in the video: - the amount of time it takes for the dog’s barking to alert the rancher is randomized - the rancher always has to wait at least 15 seconds after being alerted before he can shoot (it can be longer, but not more than one minute) - the rock music is a random event :) doesn’t do anything, is just fun - once traps are set, there are always 5~ish placed by the fence hole each night, and 15 total randomized - the rancher is more likely to be in the hunting blinds/watchtowers the more often you come to the ranch - the cows get more aggressive the more often you come to the ranch - the rancher is invisible and chases your wolf; the damage and accuracy of his shots depend on how far he is from you, how fast you’re running, and what your max health stat is Anyway, sorry to infodump, I just love the cattle ranch and think it’s so interesting to see the mechanics in action :) looking forward to see more challenges in the future!
Honestly I’m shocked you didn’t run out of calves to hunt! They don’t respawn like elk not even during spring, so the possibility of running out of calves and having to hunt the adults is very real
Wolfquest is one of my childhood video games. I stopped playing before the Anniversary release, but I have it in my steam library thanks to me having the original game. Thank you for uploading content about this game and reminding me about the good times 😸❤
Man, its probably a miracle that you succeeded! I probably wouldn't have lasted cause Im not so great at the cattle ranch. And every time I go there at night its always bad luck and I can't find any single calf that I can take down without the mama's next to the calf 😭 Id love to do a challenge like this but I don't think it would go well for me, I would probably have to practice before I have pups to even do one T-T
At first I thought it was crazy that you killed 2 calves, because no way you were going to be able to eat both- but I had no idea you could come back later and finish up the carcasses! I guess I just assumed they despawned during the day. Guess that would've of made this challenge impossible, especially with so many pups. Great video, and congrats on the successful challenge! (well if you focus just on that one last pup of course lol)
I've never really been brave enough to spend a lot of time at the cattle ranch before, it's really fun to see what the gameplay there is actually like!
I have a idea for a really hard challenge. Basically, you just combine multiple challenges, and put them all into one game. for example Bunnies only and one hex etc
I have a wolf that I decided to make only eat from the cattle ranch. Like you said, if you have a sense of self preservation, not a good idea. I’m struggling, too scared to open that save because my pups are very hungry because I’ve been too scared to go the the cattle ranch lol
This is probably bad to say but why didn't the devs make it possible to off the dog? It's a weeny, a wolf could easily snap it up and carry it off for food. My partner and I thought it would be a cool mechanic if you could get rid of the dog and everytime you do the farmer gets a bigger/stronger dog. Maybe even multiples at some point? It would be cool considering the fact there are feral dogs in lost river that aren't small weeny dogs, so we know there are other dog models available to use for the concept. Again i dont want to be morbid or anything but i was confused asf when i saw you couldn't bite the dog.
