Swish Mods : Alpha Animals

Description
Made this mod after a suggestion from the workshop regarding alpha animals, i'm planning on adding more in the future but wanted feedback first to see what people thought and want. Pretty much adds alphas to most carnivious critters in the game, a new herbivore and a slightly new start.

Currently implemented
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
- New Species of herbivore called Bandara's that roam in herds, they drop a nice amount of skin and meat so are great for hunting if you can take them on. Can be found in Border zone, South wetlands, Stenn Desert, The Eye, The Great Desert and The Hook.

- New species of wolf called Bloodhounds, they are bigger nastier dogs that have lost their skin from the harsh lands they live in but have adapted enough to survive, because of this though whenever food presents itself they will take it, eating uncousious and dead people alike. but generally will ignore the robots of the deadlands as they are not very nutritious.They can be found in the Deadlands, Iron Valleys and venge
Their nests can spawn weapons up to edge type on the floor, though these nests are well defended and the hounds wont be pleased about u stealing their shiny trophies.

- Pack Bandara along with Bandara backpack to travelling nomad squads you should be able to purchase them there. they are slower than Garru but carry more.

All animals bellow drop more of the usual items they have ( meats, skins) plus unique valuable drops.

- Alpha Bonedog has a chance to spawn in the roaming wolf packs and nests. Also drops Alpha wolf claws worth 500 each.

- Alpha Bloodhound has a chance of spawning with bloodhounds and drops Alpha Bloodhound organs worth 6000 each.

- Alpha Landbat spawns with the roaming Landbat squads and up to 4 can spawn in the mobs. Also drops Alpha landbat teeth worth 1000 each.

- Skimmer Queen added to the skimmer nests plus up to 10 baby skimmers with her. The Queen drops Queen claws worth 2000 each.

- Alpha Beak Thing has a chance to spawn roaming the wilds, plus there is a chance 1 alpha egg will spawn in their nests worth 14000 each.

- And what everyone wants a new start called Guy with a Wolf. Literally the same as Guy with a dog except you start with a baby Alpha Wolf plus a random city start.


So again please leave feedback and suggestions if you want more added to the other creatures in-game. I had thought about adding the great white gorrilo as a roaming spawn, but for now didnt add it.

I dont want to sound bad but is there a way to make bloodhounds not spawn in the deadlands? In my personal case I feel like the inmertion is broken when theres actuall life in there. I really like the mod and the creatures but I dont want them in the deadlands.

Swishos. Can You please tell me how to add a backpack to blood dog hair ( bloodhounds don't have any backpack that fits )?

this is more of a limitation on the game engine. once things get big it struggles with pathing. (it's why the leviathan is so easy to exploit and kite to death with range) i can have a look in to getting it a bit better but i remember spending a lot of time tinkering with them to get them as a stable as they are XD
This could be one of the reasons the 'bandara' model wasn't used in the vanilla game, besides the whole it was meant to be a slave transport originally but mounts don't work...

Any chance the Bandaro's size could be changed so they aren't so awkward to use? I'm not talking about their physical look, more so the size the game thinks they are for pathing and such (if that's even a possibility). I realise they are large, but gameplay wise, it's incredibly difficult to take them anywhere due to the often weird geometry of the landscape and cities.

@NinjaBeest Hey that's awesome ^^ thanks!

@falsetruth1988 i don't believe this mod adds an alpha bull so it could be vanilla or maybe a different mod?
falsetruth1988 Mar 25, 2023 @ 1:43am 
Does wild alpha bull come from this, or is it base game?

@Rydicc we removed this from Genesis in favour for a much better animal mod in the end ^^ This one is really outdated at this point, though it should still function as a solo mod. There are just mods out there that have done it better ^^.

Are you sure? It is not listed in the mod list of genesis, there are 2 other mods listed of you tho.
