This mod brings back ThunderBird123's excellent mod with the latest update.

If you don't want to see cross-over critters, subscribe to BOTH this mod and:
More Critters and Scenery (Non-FU), Lore Patch



From the original description:
Adds new scenery and 170+ new catchable critters (mostly edits and recolors) to all vanilla biomes. Critters can be caught with the super critter net, which you will find through normal progression, creating an object version of the critter which can then be displayed.

There is an astronomically low chance of encountering beings from other games such as moogles, chocobos, Kefka, temmies, Sans, Papyrus, and dopefish in appropriate biomes. Some of these super-rarities will drop special items when killed normally without the net. You may also find rare golden critters, and uncommon large animals.

Some animals include:
Albatrosses
Camels
Horses
Bears
Peacocks
Flamingoes
Hummingbirds
Dragonflies
Meerkats
Monkeys
Panthers
Ocelots
Dodos
Starfish
Seahorses
Sea turtles
Cockroaches
Chameleons
Ocean Sunfish
Parrots
Eagles
Blue Jays
New bugs
New alien critters
And many more...



Isn't there already mod which does the same thing?
Well yeah, there is already mod like this by Rcmxbox, but that one requires Frackin' Universe (FU) mod to make some critters properly spawn.

So I released this version for non-FU users out there.

More Critters and Scenery is originally made by ThunderBird123. He stopped maintaining this mod and it was updated by Fizzbut, and then later by KTrinsic on official Starbound modding forums[community.playstarbound.com]. However KTrinsic made most of the critters catchable, so I tweaked it to retain the vanilla feel: only a number of critters are catchable and leave the rest as relocatable.

Catchable critters are: hounds, cats, foxes, elephant, bunnies, horses, bears, camels, penguins, snuggets, deers, and critters from other franchises (Final Fantasy and Undertale critters).



Lore-friendly patch
Final Fantasy and Undertale critters only have 0.00001% chance of appearing actually, so you won't be seeing them suddenly in front of your base.

But if you don't want to see cross-over critters from Final Fantasy and Undertale at all, subscribe to both this mod and the lore-friendly patch here:
More Critters and Scenery (Non-FU), Lore Patch



Alternative download link
This Steam version adds both new critters and scenery. If you only like one of them, you can download a modular version here: http://s.id/pT (MediaFire link, had to shorten it because Steam censors MediaFire for whatever reason)

Lore-friendly patch is already included in that download.

Frackin' Universe version
Despite the title, yes, it's compatible. But the critters won't spawn in FU planets.
Rcmxbox's version has one that spawn on them.

I was wondering if there could be someone making a critters collection? That would be great...
FunkyFallout Feb 17, 2022 @ 2:08pm 
Are these critters able to be grabbed with the capture pod? Curious because several of them would make awesome passive followers, but I see that if I load a world with the new critters and then decide I don't like it, then it might mess up my game.

Am I wrong, or does this mod also add some new bugs in jars? Because if so, could u give me a list, or put them into the collection? that would be awesome and very helpful. :)

@Fitzcarin... interesting... just read your post
I had no issues removing this mod, (not that I had it on long, in fact, I never saw any critters. So perhaps that is why I was able to return to my worlds)
The reason I removed this mod was I started seeing aliens/monsters on two of my worlds I have colonies on that I have NEVER seen before on those worlds... and they definitely weren't on the critter list/picture.
Actually there was on monster. I saw him on my desert world, but that monster was from another desert world in the same system. ... does this little animal have a space ship?
So I dunno.... I love the idea of the mod, but when aliens from completely other worlds start showing up on worlds that shouldn't have em just because they share the biome, it's a bit of a lore/ambience killler

This can sort of soft-lock your game upon getting it. As if there are custom critters from this mod on a planet, and you get rid of the mod, you can't go back down on that planet anymore due to the game kicking you back to your ship due to the modded critter.
Don't get if you plan on trying to get rid of it. I will recommend it if you want the ambiance and don't plan on uninstalling.

Can you add craftable variants of the scenery plants and rocks?

So much ambiance!
Especially with gore mods when you slice the cute little things!
