Monster/pet carry weight changed to 1/5th of body weight

Summary

SUMMARY: Balance "Monster/pet carry weight changed to 1/5th of body weight"

Purpose of change

Previously, carry weight calculation for monsters was the same as for
humans, using a 5 tier size system, where monsters were placed in tiers
based on their weight. This caused a few problems:

• Tier 5 too small in some cases (e.g. cows could only carry 52 kg)
• Tier 1 too big in some cases (e.g. chickens carrying 3x body weight)
• Tiers not granular enough; increase of a single kg could double carry weight

Describe the solution

Safe weight capacity of animals seems to be about 20% - 25% of their body weight. I went with 20%, for no reason in particular other than it being the more conservative estimate.

Describe alternatives you've considered

Making higher load weights possible, but only for limited duration. Seems like a lot of work for a feature most people likely would never use.

Testing

Additional context

This also has the benefit of bringing it in line with the max weight a horse can carry when the player tries to mount them.

I put that at 1/5th the animals weight as the limit there too, so its good itll be consistent now.

As you say - 1/5th is not the perfect solution as they could carry more weight for shorter periods, but itl do for the moment until we have animal stamina and caring / feeding your packmule/mount etc.

Could this be somewhat jsonized? So that for exemple animals get the 1/5 ratio by default but you could override it to make stronger monsters?

[anothersimulacrum]

That's what the suggestion I made (and was comitted) does.
By default everything will be 20%, but any monster with a mountable weight ration will use that instead.

Checked the CI failure, seems unrelated to my changes. Let me know if I missed something.

ok i am fairly certain that horses should be able to carry a personm + more then 40kg's at this point i am now at below 35 Kg carry weight and i still can't mount a horse. this is rediculus as horses and cows are now useless as m,ounts.

You are in the wrong place. This PR buffed horse max inventory weight substantially. And it didn't touch their maximum rider weight at all.
