Mod «Lovely Tallbird Family» for Don't Starve Together

This mod introduces a new Tallbird ecology, completely rewriting their mechanics to make them friendly and reasonable companions for your base. It is designed for players who find smallbirds adorable and want to integrate Tallbirds into their gameplay without the original aggressive behavior.

New Items:

• Tallbird Saddle: Craftable in the riding tab. Equip it on a recruited Tallbird to ride them.
• Eggshell: Dropped by every hatched chick. Use an eggshell on a Tallbird to give it a name.
• Comb: Found in the Tools tab. Switch its mode to hire nearby Tallbirds or dismiss your currently hired ones.

Reputation System:

• Place eggs near a heat source at night to hatch them. Raising Tallbirds increases your reputation with the Tallbird community.
• Young birds will flee from their target if their health drops below 30%. Smallbirds have 50 HP. Health lock is enabled by default for non-wild birds.

Tallbird Skins: Use a Clean Sweeper to change your Tallbird's skin.

Recruiting and Riding Tallbirds:

• Recruit and ride Tallbirds to make them work for you. Raise enough birds and increase your reputation sufficiently for them to understand your commands (configurable in mod settings).
• After raising a certain number of Tallbirds, use a twig to make them follow you.
• Use grass to dismiss them if you do not want them trailing behind.
• While riding a Tallbird, you can chop, mine (powerful mining after planar upgrade), dig, hammer, and harvest. You can also switch attack modes.
• The player and bird's harvesting efficiency stack. If you are not using the correct tool, efficiency is 0.5x and consumes 1 durability per action. The roundhouse kick attack is the only way to perform area harvesting.

Riding Combat:

• Two attack modes are available while riding: Peck and Roundhouse Kick.
• Right-click anywhere on the screen to open a radial menu and switch attack modes.
• Roundhouse Kick: Deals AoE damage.
• Peck: A coordinated player-bird attack. Total damage equals Tallbird damage plus held weapon damage.

Emotes While Riding: All 29 character emotes have been implemented for riding Tallbirds. Use emote commands or a quick-emote mod to perform them.

Follow & Jump Ship: Birds at all three growth stages can follow you and jump off a boat. Note that the water-landing mechanic for birds is not yet fully implemented.

Compatibility: This mod currently uses Glassic API for skins and is incompatible with skin mods that use Modded API.
