Currently to get animals out of Cages you have to kill the animal inside.
Please make this opinional by adding a way to release them without killing it.
Add The Ability To Release Animals From Their Cage Without Killing Them
Haha, yeah... I wondered if this wasn't implemented (yet), because they didn't want us to be capable of releasing the animals on our ships (or other people's ships). The animals would need a lot of AI pathing to be able to navigate on the ships too.
Haha, when I realized that was the only way to get rid of the wrong type of chicken I just caught... lol. First time I had to do that, I used my cutlass. The next time, I used my blunderbuss... that was much better and somewhat hilarious... BLAST!! big puff of feathers XD (and I am a vegetarian, lol)@axiom2213 said in Add The Ability To Release Animals From Their Cage Without Killing Them:

It's always the vegetarians, to go wild on NPC animals. LolI've got years of pent up pacifism, LOL!
Haha, I actually wondered if those tiny cages, and rough capturing and transporting, was all going to bother me (ever-so-slightly), but it didn't from what I tested. And, yeah... point-blank-blasting those chickens into feathers and dust kind of cinched the deal... muhahahahaha (I guess this means I am going to go full carnivore now, if certain anti-video-game violence advocates are right). :P
I don't feel bad about killing digital animals. Just like drinking all that digital grog doesn't make me an alcoholic.
The actual downside of killing an animal you caught by mistake is that if you get a Merchant Alliance voyage later that asks for the animal you just killed then finding a replacement would take longer.

As Zippy out said, Joe Neate already confirm that after feedback complains after the final beta, they worked on it. It was not in the beta but it will be on game release.
Sweet! When I feel like just messing around, I’ll become Captain Ventura, chicken liberator.

It's normal to feel bad about killing animals (even virtually). If you enjoy it then you're probably a sociopath.
Haha, what does that say about those who enjoy PvP? :D
The animals, especially the pig, are cute though and I prefer them to be living... :P@jkodis sagte in Add The Ability To Release Animals From Their Cage Without Killing Them:
P**A will drop their balls when they hear of this.
No, P**A loves killing animals that are sheltered. It's their idea of freeing them from a miserable life. Read up on P**A and what they do with cats and dogs that are brought to their shelters, it's eye opening.
Look if you can't tell a Red chicken from a Black Chicken.....
I agree with @PDT-Mindstream big puff of feathers for birds would be funny.
But we need more food variety to eat. Chicken meat would per say give you more health, Snake meat would make you puke like grog without the drunk, Pork would give you a face pasted with bbq sauce. Fun little things.@oldsk00l1964 said above:

They all look the same at night.
All the foilage on the island means I have to track them by ear and spam the capture button. If I hear fancy Merchant Alliance music then I know I got the right one.

We hunted in teams at night one with lantern one with cage. Lantern guy led the way. Easy at Night
@oldsk00l1964
The solo sloop guy should just put down the cage, pull out his lantern, chase the sounds until he spots the right animal, run back to the cage, pick it up, and then head to the last place they saw the animal, and hope the animal hasn't run off?
