Bug - Not A Bug Underwater Familar Weight Items Not Reporting Increase

[Cheese Loaf]

Running a 45-lb grouper groupie. Add sea grease and crocodile tear. Groupie is still 45 lbs, according to Mafia, both in the native window and the relay browser. Item drop % also not adjusted.

That's the way these effects work; they don't change the displayed weight of the familiar, so mafia doesn't change its display either, for consistency.

Mafia will only show the effects of the hidden weight increase when a Sea location is selected; is it not working that way for you?

Ah- think it makes sense then. So the item drop percentage does change, but the familiar weight doesn't?
If that's the case, then go ahead and stamp it 'Not a Bug'. And thanks for clarifying it.

I'm pretty sure that familiar weight would change, as well -- this is the same mechanic as Slime Hates It in the Slime Tube.

(And this is why profit_fx uses set_location().)

Marking this as Not a Bug, unless. If hee**3 still thinks otherwise, we'll re-open it.
