Update 1.0.1
-----------
I made the Thrumbos also work as pack animals. Given that carry capacity seems to be based on size, they can carry the same amount of weight as elephants. I didn't change their carryweight, only made them pack animals.
I used the horse packs as a base for the pack model and used paint.net to manipulate and resize it to fit on the Thrumbos. It's not as good as a custom model but it works.
NOTE: This means that if you're uninstalling the mod, you should unload all your Thrumbos before uninstalling it or it may cause the save to crash or the items loaded to disappear.
Update doesn't need a new save to take effect.

Inspired by Thrumbo Extension by leafzxg

Thrumbos can be sheared once a year (60 days) to gain 190 thrumbofur, which is enough for a full set of thrumbofur duster, cowboy hat, button-down shirt and pants.
Thrumbos can also be milked once a season (15 days) to gain 90 milk, which is the same milk/day(6) ratio as every other milkable animal, except cows, which is 18/day.

It makes taming thrumbos a tad stronger, but given the rarity of even having the opportunity to tame them, and then succeeding,
I did it mostly because I always end up killing thrumbos rather than tame them, because of the effort to both tame and train them vs the payoff of essentially
having 2-3 elephants/bears in 1 animal was never worth it to me. This way they are a more useful but way rarer elephant/bear.
I felt this helps make them truly treasured as a big contributer to the colony, suiting their legendary lore status, rather than just being another cool combat animal.

I don't know if there are any incompatabilities, but all this does is patch Races_Animal_Giant.xml to make thrombos shearable and milkable, so I think it should be compatible with everything that doesn't also make thrumbos shearable or milkable.
