Purpose:
Creature cages are a means to transport a small amount creatures in vehicles, over water, and from one server to another.
There is a purple GM sign at the starter deed to teleport the creature cage test deed on the Western side of the server.
Overall Info:
- Cage will decay on boat the same as a Large Crate, item inside “shouldn’t” decay.
- Cages will take damage quickly when a creature is loaded in a cage.
- Pregnant creatures cannot be loaded.
- Only led creatures can be loaded into cage. (this should cover most permission cases).
- Any leadable creature can be caged, the “Load Creature” action is only available when the performer has a lead creature.
- Data is server specific, so a loaded then unloaded creature will retain all data from that server, if the creature has never been to a server it will have no data i.e. perms, carefor, mother / father, uless mother or father is on that server, on the destination server.
- You can still manage a branded creature if it is on your server, and is branded there, via manage menu. If a branded creature crosses and has no brand on the destination server, it will have no brand unless branded till it returns.
- Hostiles can be loaded if they are A, leadable, B, Dominatable / Leadable.
- Caged creatures on deed count towards animal ratio.
- Cages take damage at a much faster rate when there is a creature stored in them, when the cage is 80 or greater damage the creature is auto dumped to the ground on the tile the cage was on.
Amount of cages per vehicle:
- You cannot transport creatures in a rowboat or a small sailing boat or large cart.
- Wagon: 2
- Animal transporter (New land vehicle incoming): 4
- Knarr: 4
- Corbita: 5
- Cog: 6
- Caravel: 8
Features to test
- Brandings and permissions crossing from Oracle to Baphomet and back.

- Trading ownership of caged creatures.
- Building a animal transporter/creature cage.
- breaking as much as you can with as many ideas as you can
If you have specific things you’d like to test, i.e. dominating, priests, or other various features, you can join IRC via the ingame console by typing “irc” without quotation marks and asking for a GM to assist you. GM’s will be available throughout the day to help, but there may be delays in doing so.
Where do I report things wrong?
