Tooltip trickle food rate for garrisoned animals

[Langbart]

description

• [27244] allowed to garrison domestic animals into the corral to get a resource trickle of food.

problem

The trickle rate per animal (cow, goat, ...) is unclear.

possible solutions

Idea NO.1

• Change the resource trickle rate based on flesh
  • For example, in AOE2 mills can be garrisoned with animals (max 10) to generate 3.5 food per second per 100 flesh.
  • Source: ​ageofempires.fandom.com/wiki/Buildings_(Age_of_Empires_II)

Idea NO.2

• write the trickle rate in the tooltip of the animal template

nitpick

Information about the animals garrisoning in the corral and the free supply of food is described twice.

Reopening

• correct values

  cattle 2s
  pig 3s
  sheep 4s
  goat 5s
  

• not all animals that can technically be garrisoned are listed in the description
  • chicken/ peacock can be garrisoned in a corral if assigned to a player by a map maker (player colored)

chicken 4s
peacock 4s

• the text from the corral can be easily overlooked when the values in the template change or when a new herd domestic animal is being added

.js solution required would be better

@wowgetoffyourcellphone the standard way is to upload a patch and get approval to avoid erroneous commits.

The minimum to close this ticket is to change the description of the aura

Example (the exact wording is left to the patch maker)

Idea NO1 would be preferred ​patch

I've been busy too ​⚙ Diff View (wildfiregames.com)

Aiming to simplify the bonus handling it via 2 auras and clearing unnecessary text. Along with a hoverable tooltip next to "detailedinfo" (which can be used by anything thats adds resourceTrickle to a building). It should probably have a dedicated icon for this but just used the pop one for proof of concept.

Improving corral tooltips/info.

Reduces unnecessary text.
The corral defines the interval and the animal auras define the amount.
