A Special Companion (start the game with a unique white bone dog)

Any idea what backpack they wear?

Hi A3king, it looks like a good mod. I have no problem with the hunger rate, its probably balanced for such a large wolf but is an issue it doesn't eat communal food from backpack and will only eat dropped food.

@A Sassy Dragon Thanks! Please let me know whenever if you have other ideas on this mod!

@Ryanthehomey well sorry I'm still getting used the the world of kenshi.

Wolf_Ago or 3 GET GOOD SCRUBBBBBBBB

hmm, fair enough, i didn't know if you boosted the actual combat capabilities after increasing the size. I was also thinking of the default bonyard wolves as opposed to the smaller bonedogs, who do have a default hunger rate of 4.

higher hunger in trade off to presumably better combat stats and more hp is certainly a worthy trade off

To @A Sassy Dragon and @Wolf_Ago:

The default hunger rate of bonedogs is 2. I set it to 4 on purpose to make raising the puppy more challenging. This is the trade-off since the fully grown white bonedog will be extremely powerful and fast.

A way to start this game is to quickly travel to the UC territory, and look for dead animals on your way there. Skimmers drop foul meat that can be used to feed the dog. You can lure the skimmer herds to the city guards, and you will not run out of meat.

Wild animals do not suffer from hunger. The "eating corpse" feature of wild animals is used to immersion and clean corpses only. Animals in your party can only feed on items. In the future, I will try to integrate one of the "Feeding on Corpse" mods into this mod.

Thank you!

yeah, agreed, but sadly the 4x hunger rate is the default for all the wolf animals, it's just that NPC AI animals are not allowed to starve to death, you can watch a hungry bandit for example, their hunger will drop too low, and then it will magically refill when you know for a fact they have no food, and or are unconcious etc.

I just had to go in and use the mod tool to make a copy of the "guy with a dog" start and modify it there. tho, i know that the way i did it also changes the global race hunger, not just the one I start with.

To the mod author: to correct this issue,
1. open your custom start file
2. then open the squad file
3. select and open the animal file (i assume it's "Boneyard Wolf" or whatever your custom name is if you made a derivative)
4. on the right column open the "race" option (presumably where you also edited the fur color previously) and adjust the "hunger rate" in the stat's section from 4 to 1

I only have one problem with this mod the hunger rate for the dog, it's so god damn fast and I can't get to any meat source before the dog dies ( And also some bug here I think, the dogs never try to eat corpses). So here's two suggestions for it to be fixed; 1 we start with some food so we can feed the dog or 2 to lower the hunger rate.
