Mod animal commonality

change commonality of all animals in X mod. For example, you can make all animals from Dinosauria 10 times less common.

menu at Settings > More mod settings > Mod animal commonality.

Note that If you set the commonality to 0, rimworld will still shove those animals into every quest and trader. I personally like seting a lot of "mythical" animal mods to 0 commonality and still end up with a bunch of those in my colony. Screenshots show my settings, by default it does nothing.

The list of mods and animals from them is manual with some shortcuts with possible, so I have to manually add support for mods, so tell me if you want something supported. I do have an app that does that for me, all I need is to know which mod isn't supported.


Difference from mlie's Choose Wild Animal Spawns: you don't have to painstakingly change the commonality of every animal individually per one biome. However mlie's mod automatically supports every single animal and gives extremely granular control.

Difference from Kenny Daves's Animal Commonality Tweaker: unfortunately its animal database seems to corrupt after a few game restarts, and there are some issues like inheritance can make it prevent all modded animals from spawning. It didn't work for me which is why I made this mod.

Load after animal mods and biome mods. In most cases rimpy autosorting should be fine.

Note about RocketMan - if you have it, whenever you change a setting in XML Extensions you need to delete its cache otherwise it caches the previous settings and doesn't know you changed them. This is also true if you update any mod that uses patch operations, not necessarily from XML Extensions, rocketman will cache old patch operations until you clear cache

It should be compatible with both other animal commonality mods, as well as commonality sliders in some animal mods like Alpha Animals. Theoretically you should be able to use all three together, although I haven't tried.
