After expanding every single biome and animal type in the game, it’s about time we start expanding the DLC concepts. Royalty DLC brings a fresh new faction to the game, but I did feel like it could use some fleshing out. Our first step in that direction is adding some Royalty-specific animals, that affect various mechanics added by the DLC.

With Vanilla Animals Expanded - Royal Animals we are adding a decent selection of animals important in one way or another to the Empire. From poultry that turns any meals into lavish meals, to orangutans that can educate your colonists, this mod should greatly enhance your Royal playthroughs.

These animals can only be obtained from the Empire.

Vanilla Animals Expanded is a modular mod. It means it will come out in several modules allowing people to subscribe to only the animals they want in the game. This part is the Royal expansion. It adds 9 new animals. They have vanilla artwork, sounds and balancing.




Vanilla Animals Expanded: Royal Animals adds following animals to the base game:























[forms.gle]



Q: Do the animals spawn randomly in biomes?
A: No. These animals appear only via quests and with Imperial traders.

Q: Why the new description style?
A: We are updating the visuals of our Animal mods. This is a test run.

Q: Will you keep updating the mod with new animals?
A: No. This mod is complete and there will not be any new animals added to it.

Q: Is this mod save game compatible?
A: Yes, you can add it whenever you like. Of course, removing can be problematic.

Q: CE compatible?
A: Surely will be!

Q: Do I need Royalty DLC for this mod to work?
A: Yes

Q: Does this mod work on 1.2 or some other version?
A: Check the supported versions on the right. This mod won’t work correctly on unsupported versions.

Can you add it to the bug tracker? I'll forget otherwise

Hi! I noticed that Vanilla Animals Expanded (Core) animals seem to support the new Odyssey trainables (for example, Persian Cats and Great Danes can learn Comfort), which is great.

However, it looks like animals from Royal Animals and Waste Animals don't support the new Odyssey-specific trainables. For example, the Royal Tiger doesn't have Attack Target, while the vanilla Tiger does.

Is there any plan to update those animals as well? It would be awesome to see them fully integrated with Odyssey's new animal abilities.

Is there a way to disable the sound pheasants make when they use their ability?

Does this have any kind of performance hit?

Really fantastic mod! I love peacocks, and I'm so happy to see them in the game, and useful at that! I wish they were omnivorous like they are in real life, but it's a minor nitpick. I genuinely adore the megachickens, they just seem like something that would happen in Rimworld.

Just found my first megaco-chicken and had a giggle. Thanks.

Also,thanks to dystopian UK laws, people in the UK cant see your pics in the description as Imgur wont serve the UK. Joy.

Nevermind, just found "Better Workbench Management" mod, looks like it'll do the trick! Leaving this here in case anyone else is raising frankly too many quails!
