add swimming functionality

[vestal roost]

Someone made a post about this a few months back and I think it would be greatly appreciated by the rest of the community.

Sometimes, a bridge is full of bandits and we just don’t want to have a run in with the bandits at that moment either because we are not well equipped to fight or we just don’t feel like fighting. And with the map having loads of rivers, adding in the ability to swim would make things so much more enjoyable. I’ve died countless times crossing a bridge where it’s just too narrow to run past the bandits so I get swarmed by 5 or more bandits and ultimately die.

Please add in the ability to swim.

This would also fix the issue with villagers getting stuck at the river side. They should be able to swim across as well to complete whatever duty they are doing at the time.

Maybe do something with the armor here as well like if in med/heavy armor then no chance of swimming but normal clothes you could

absolutely

Just adding in an observation: It's kind of rubbing salt in the wound when I can see resources on the riverbed, like tin or copper ore, but I can't reach them because of the depth "cut-off point" and lack of swimming. 😭

So close, yet impossibly far away
