Cattle Thief Beta

Added livestock stealing mechanics to the game

Rustling Beta

🐄 The tradition of cattle rustling in the West

In the Wild West, livestock theft was a common practice. Thieves often steal cattle and other livestock from ranches and drive them to remote areas for sale. Cowboys involved in theft are often members of well-organized gangs who operate under the cover of night. Stolen animals are often rebranded with the thieves' own markings before being sold or traded for a profit. Livestock theft is a serious crime in the West, and ranchers and law enforcement work tirelessly to catch and punish those responsible. Despite the high stakes, livestock theft remains a lucrative and dangerous trade on the uncivilized frontier.

🎮 How to use

• Go to any cow/bull spawn location and lasso the animal
• When you get close enough, a "stealing" prompt will appear.
• After successfully stealing, continue to steal other animals (you can try up to 10 animals)
• After gathering the animals, bring them out of the pen or other area to your horse
• After mounting the horse, whistle and start driving the livestock
• Drive the livestock to the thieves in Valentine Town
• You can speed up or slow down according to the situation along the way.
• If livestock stray too far from the herd and start wandering, use cues to regroup them

💡 **Tip**: You may need to hit the cattle with a horse to get them back on the path. Try it a few times to get familiar with the operation mechanism.

🐂 Stealing a bull requires some practice mechanics, maybe chewing a few pieces of cocaine gum to help (laughs)

⚠️ Notes

• This is a work-in-progress version (1.0.0) used to test the mechanics and gather feedback
• Future plans to add other animals such as sheep, possibly adding other "Stealer" locations
• Tested drive with up to 10 cows/bulls, works fine from Manzanita Post to Valentine Town
• Do not proceed with game missions or side missions after starting the drive, otherwise it will interfere with
• Lost stolen animals if you die or kill the stealer in Valentine Town
• The thief will regenerate 4 times a day. If he is scared away, he will reappear after moving away for a certain distance.
