Against all that, there's the thing where fall damage is capped at 100 even if you faceplant from Yggdrasil into a pile of jagged rocks. It's never been the most immersive aspect of the game.

well if you have the muscle to jump a certain hight you should also have the muscle to dampen that jump when landing.

One can make the argument from a game perspective that it's a bad mechanic, but this specific argument certainly doesn't follow.

Real life high jump/long jump athletes injure themselves all the time and that's jumping and landing in super safe controlled conditions not out in the wilds carry a hundred lbs of gear.

Sure, but they're pushing their limits trying to break records. A person running and jumping just to get somewhere tends not to throw themselves harder than they can catch.

High jumpers also land on their backs/shoulders and long jumpers land on their butts. I suspect if the player characters did this then they'd die immediately, all their buildings would collapse and they'd have to return to the origin with all their skills reset. Anyway what they said is true, it's not like the einherjar jump suddenly becomes laden with 100 pounds of metal and poor footing mid-air, the injury from the jump is purely from the vertical acceleration of the collision which rarely significantly exceeds the magnitude of the acceleration of the jump.

Sure, if you're jumping face-first off a steep hill into some jagged brush or rocky terrain, you'd be crazy not to expect some pain, but the corresponding injuries from reality (being cut up or rolling through repeated blunt injuries all over your body) do not occur in the game. Your guy just lands stiff-legged, goes "ow" and then regenerates his/her femurs with a few bites of rotting intestine he had earlier in a couple of seconds.

It sounds more like the OP jumped over a trench they made and fell in taking 50 damage.

Frankly we have no idea how high we may need to be able to jump for the rest of the game that isn't made yet.

Asking for changes to a skill you wouldn't normally max out anyway half way through the game seems counter productive.

Just don't go out of your way to max jumping and you won't have an issue. Eat food to keep health up. Max fall damage is only 100.

I made a damm trench around my base and just a little normal jump, just like crossing a bridge but don't have a bridge, then the game said "I'm jump too high -50HP"

Are you trying to quote a pop up in game?
Need a screenshot of that.

Nope because my english didn't good, the drop dmg bug still here. Already try 10 times while I write this post. Sad game

I don't think it is a bug. It is a game mechanic.

If you think the game might be broken you can try to verify your local files.
Library - right click on game name for Properties - Local files - verify

Do you run any mods?

Nah I will keep saying Fix the high drop dmg and jump high skill until they fix

Well if you think it is a bug then post this in the bug sub forum.

Up to you, but if you want the issue resolved it might be better to post it in a place they are looking for it.

Have a nice day!

yeah it sounds more like you maxed out jump with the devcommands and never learned how to build structures to help you get over your trench etc

If you can jump high enough to break your own legs on flat ground that is kind of a problem. Jump skill should double as landing skill.
