Dog House

The Dog House can be selected as your companion's home.

If the companion dies, it will return to its recorded home after the recovery period.

If no Dog House is available, the player's bed is used when possible.

Wounded System

When the companion receives lethal damage, it enters the Wounded state for 30 seconds instead of dying immediately.

Any nearby player can revive it during this time.

A successful revive restores 50% health.

If the timer expires, normal companion death recovery begins.

Multiplayer

Malamutik is designed for multiplayer, but the current version is still being tested in co-op.

Please report unexpected behaviour involving:

  • multiple players and companions
  • portals
  • ships and modded transport
  • ownership changes
  • player disconnects
  • Wounded and revive mechanics
