Bug: Exploit: Mounting and Dismounting an NPC from a horse repeatedly applies rapidly increasing stat improvement
ThatPolishKid99 opened this issue · 2 comments
As found by User TheOddlySeagull on the Discord, a speed stat improvement is given to a horse when it is mounted by an NPC, and for some reason, this occurs everytime the NPC mounts the horse, and stacks the improvement each time.
Here is the analysis from TheOddlySeagull, I just copied it over for simplicity's sake
"Ok, I found the bug for that OP horse thing
So this is a Great horse (so good that it is almost impossible to find in the wild)

See the stats on the waila thing?
Now, let ask this high level medic with pigiron armor to mount it

I think it is way too OP x)
after 30 sec of dismounting, mounting, look at those stats...

This bug is kind of fun, but quiet annoying, the horse is so swift, that the AI from the guard struggles to manipulate the horse…
And finishes by jumping off a cliff, or in a river"
I was unable to confirm this bug, and TheOddlySeagull is on a outdated version due to his specific environment, so I will close this
Turns out, I was wrong, this is occurring, but only with one important caveat not mentioned earlier: If you repack the NPC while it is on the horse, the horse keeps the stat boost that the NPC gives it, repeat this step multiple times, and the stats will stack.
Moreover, commanding the NPC to dismount does not work, making this repacking method the only way to get an NPC off the horse
