How to rename animals?

[Valar Morghulis]

So, I would really like to rename my tamed animals. Because Boar 1 or Boomrat 1 are not the best random names the game could give.. I really don't care about random names, but this kills my immersion.

Is there a way to rename animals? Because I can't find that option when I click on them.

I saw quill18 play the game in his latest series on youtube, and he could not find it either.
Maybe its not possible in the current version?

The toons who tame and train them eventualy name them.

Yep , if a animal is bounded to someone, the ai will name it. You can´t do it yourself.

So they won't stay with Boar 1, etc. ?

The animal doesn't need to bond with someone to be named. All it needs to do is "nuzzle" a colonist and they'll give it a name.

You'll get a pop-up at the top of your screen saying somthing like "So and so named rabbit 1 shaggy after being nuzzled".

They won´t.

You have to edit the save in a text editor.

How do you get them to nuzzle? Just wait??

You don't need a mod to rename animals. Just click on them and go to the training tab. There is an option there to rename them next to their name.

Thank you, CaptainCamembert! I found it. It's an icon just to the left of the "X" at the top right of the training tab.
