I think the best way to balance it out would be to add configurable option to reduce swimming speed that way you cant swim that far away easily. Also would be cool to add option to enable it to all other characters too. (lorewise I think everybody can swim, it's just most lucrative for wurt)

man, I wish you made this for every character, not just wurt, it would be so nice for begginers to explore without a boat

@unabel
Tool usage is disabled while swimming. It present some weird animations and actions. I know because I had to do the same thing with Wirra, but I made it so you can toggle the ability On/Off.

IDK

If I can swim, why can't I catch fish？

@SSneaky They took the swimming code from the gawr gura mod

if you don't mind me asking,
how'd you set up this swimming, want to make a aquatic based character.
(also not a fish but a whale)

Gostei muito, isso deveria ser nativo do jogo, só acho que a animação nadando poderia ser mais bonita, algo parecido com as lontras talvez, ou deixar ela mais imersa na água

Does this work with skins?

ah its all good, no worries!

@The_Jinxed_Cat I'm not really thinking of updating it right now, and the reason I used right click was because I wanted the mod to be quite vanilla-feeling, and basically every "special ability" uses right click (Moose Charge, Wortox Teleport, etc).

If you are thinking of updating this, would you mind adding a customized key bind instead of "right click"?

for those where the mod doesnt work: try verifying your game files

the mod doesnt work for me any way to fix it?

pls add to Wurt skill tree

would there be an option to not drop hand item while swimming or just put it back in inventory please?

河里！

I know first hand how utterly difficult it is to code swimming.. Good job, seriously.

Can you make it so that it slowly makes you wet?

this mod does not work i tried going in the water with both confi options noting worked

how do i award a comment

how are yall actually complaining about getting wet from being in water

makes you too wet otherwise id be perfect

Great mod! I enjoy it very much, thank you. the only thing a bit annoying is "open gills" appear everywhere. It would be great if you could make it only appear on water or on the character.

sounds like a cheat mod to me but its useless in this form so i wont go hard by doing hate comments,if you really wanna enjoy this mod there is another mod that called something like "wurt and merm AI tweaks" that has a opton that makes wurt dont lose sanity from being wet,or freeze,classic fish stuff in short.

crashes upon selecting wurt in character selection. no client mods. no other server mods.

Can you make "open gills" apear only when mouse is on ocean please?

Would like if Wurt enjoyed being wet and maybe got a sanity buff from being wet, and a sanity loss from being too dry. Also would be nice if she could grip tools in the water, right now she drops her tool as soon as she jumps in.

I loove this mod! Makes Wurt so much more authentic and interesting!
It seems like at starting the game (solo) the gills are alreay opened so I hop into the water accidentally every time. I'd appreciate very much if this could be fixed, since it can be very fatal in winter. Other than that, I think it's quite balanced with the freezing. Thank you for sharing your work!

Ill be honest this isn't very useful, mostly because wurt gains 100% wetness the second she gets the water, and the fact it cant be avoided equipping items such as the eyebrella.

This means that wurt will begin to rapidly loose temperature and possibly freeze to death, especially if the server host sets it to always on.

if wetness were to gradually (if quickly) rise then i could see this being useful in certain situations such as crossing small gaps or grabbing items that are close enough to land that using a boat would be a waste of resources, as there would not be the need to have a fire nearby to dry off the second she came out of the water.

as someone who plays wurt regularly I ask you to please not enable this on your server, for it is more of a nuisance than a boost at the moment

I send this not with hate to the creator (and the original coder), just as a message from someone who has knowledge of this character.

When I use Halloween octopus costume to swim, it head will disappear. can you fix this bug?

Amazing! however, when moving through the water with the skin of "the little sinker", the skin loses part of its head as it continues to move. I don't know if the same happens with any other skin...

how do i update the mod

Amazing! Can you make all the merm swim?

can she be attacked by monsters?

this should be in the game on its own i mean the only "can swim" thing wurt can do is not lose stats from"drowning"

Oh okay! Got it ,thanks for letting me know!

@I'm a ghost - you can change the settings so she can always swim, but otherwise, no. I strive to have my mods as similar to vanilla characters as possible, meaning I wanted it to not introduce a new button command. As a result I took the same approach Klei did with wortox and the weremose, which both also constantly show their command. I don't plan on doing a modded control scheme where you press a random key on your keyboard.

Is there someway we can make "Open gills" not on the screen all the time?

Also great mod, I love Wurt!

Cool man, turning the useless vegan less useless.

Now with the "open gills" (right click) option, there is no accidental jumping in the water when collecting stuff. Thank you!

unbalanced

I like the concept and it makes sense...until Wurt herself says she is not a good swimmer but yeah, as some of others have already said, can you make the jump toggleable?...it gets annoying trying to pick up stuff from tumbleweeds and constantly jumping back and forth lowering your temp and stuff. Thanks.

yeah the water jumping thing should be tweaked a bit.
also this does work with the craft block mod, but platforms that are right above the water will not prevent wurt from trying to jump into the water.

finally a mod that makes Wurt wurth playing

this is kind of useless in the early game because you will just freeze to death when you try to swim

I strongly agree with @lockExe. Beautiful work!

instead of hiding a body part, you cant add a water sprite above the player sprite? (like an armor, etc, does)

only thing i'd still like added is a change so wurt doesn't automatically jump in and out of water when you're near the edge, it makes retrieving things near the edge extremely difficult and sometimes impossible-

i had my suggestion of adding a toggle or keypress that allows her to enter/leave the ocean
my other idea would be that you have to mouse click on the water or land in order to enter/leave the ocean

i don't know which would be simpler to code, but i hope to see it in a future update

for now, take my points for your amazing hard work and incredible mod!!!

one tip i give to you take out the wetness status when she enters the water or atleast do a option to do that or insted take off the dialogue she does when she enter the water becuz godness when i use godmode wile im on water it keeps making the godam line agin and agin or you could atleast take the tempture lowering in the water out other then that the mod is very creative and very nice,
