@ShadowClann Try "lock" that seems to be how I put my iron spider into a cage. Shame it hard crashed me when trying to swap it's squad though, had to un-sub to the mod. :(

does this not work with leviathans? it didn't give me the prompt to put in cage after carrying one

My game encounters an error when attempting to move an iron spider to another squad and hard crashes, does this happen with other animals or just iron spiders?

Hey guys question, what animals CAN you capture with this mod? Tried it on queen spiders but they dont work

hey! could you make a compatability mod for these cage beasts! maybe add the cage beast pack in game too? if you want, no pressure if not! here is the link https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3557046825

i cant find lunch bag

is there a way to not kill beasties? i wanna capture them but they die

"generaldurandal 14 Oct @ 2:15pm
Does not work with, Cage Beast.

Those big pink hairless dog things with hooves."

They aren't in the game by default as they have unfinished animations.

For those who say the mod doesn't work, wait until the animal in question recovers from its injuries. If they are unconscious, you won't be able to talk to them. (logical)

pls Update this Mod not work

Can anyone verify that this works in the current version of Kenshi for me, please?

so your saying with this mod... i can make an army of skimmers?? Like... legit go all out make my little hiver hive colony and have an army of skimmers at my command?? if this is true and this works with the 256 recruitment limit mod then im gonna be the biggest and the meanest hiver colony around.
(yes i know beakthings are technically better because they are faster but skimmers fit the hiver theme.)

where can i find animal backpacks ?

Does not work with, Cage Beast.

Those big pink hairless dog things with hooves.

Does this work with Elder beak things? I can't seem to get the option to talk to them after I put them in my cage

Did not work

@Cattrina Is that just a mod thing? When I put food an my Garru's backpack it eats it. I am not using this mod, or any mods that that mess with animals that I can think of.

When I installed this,
I had a Garru in a bed,
and when I picked the Garru up from the bed,
the game would crash,
every time.

turning the mod off,
allowed me to pickup the Garru from the bed,
without it crashing.

Skimmer and spider queen are they tameable ?

I have this as a part of Genesis, I have caged both a wild gorillo and a nomad's skimmer, but it won't allow me to talk to either after putting them in a cage.

This mod uses the vanilla mechanic for eating from back bags. What many people do not understand is animals cannot eat from their own back bag, but they can eat from each other's back bags.

Taming dialogues are put directly to animal characters @meleesama

Does this still work?

If only there was a way to recruit other animals as a animal, so that you can play a bonedog and recruit more to your pack...

Hi! Love the mod! I'm curious if anyone knows how to find where these dialogue tags are associated with the beasts in FCS. I can find the dialogue, and I can find the various beasts under races, but I'm unsure of what attaches the imprisonment trigger to the actual beast. I'm getting into modding and want to try to customize this for myself, so this information would be very useful!

@Wirlocke
Last official one. Most devs do shadow patches or edits. But even so. It may be that the problem was not really addressed as most of the modders of these mods have left including myself until now.

you stole my name

@NinjaBeest How could that be, the last Kenshi update was in 2024?

Hi @everyone

Okay yes there is definitely something going on with the TameBeasties mod and patches with this "animals are not eating" problem, I am seeing it on everything tamebeasties and its patches, one of the new Kenshi updates messed up something, added a loophole or we have to connect something new together with something else to mend the problem. This is a much bigger problem and will have to be identified and then fixed with each an individual patch to each person's mod. Still investigating.

Hey guys, I need to know if many people are having problems with animals not eating just with this mod turned on. It seems to be a new trend with tamebeasties and its patches and I am trying to identify what is going on. I think an update broke something, added a loop we need to get through or a connection we need to mend. Let me know how many are having this problem of animals not eating please thanks.

Animal lunch bag not working, animals not eating out of it

No option to talk to the beastie even when locked inside a cage

this mod suck, because tamed Beack Thing don't restore hunger when eating the body. He eats the body, even dealing damage, but its not restraining Beak's hunger

The feeding bag seems to be bugged? At the very least the icons aren't displaying correctly for some reason.

anybody know if this will work on "Tiny" the bone dog from the dark hive mod

Does anyone know of a compatible backpack mod? Animal Backpacks doesn't work with tameable beasties, and I have no idea how to use FCS to edit it.

@Sroka yeah it works if the player is the captor, and the captor changes to the owner of the cage.

So is it only working on player build cages and neutral cages? I'm wondering because previously I recruited some Bonedogs in Bast. But now I'm trying to recruit bull and I tried to use cages in Flotsam Village and it doesn't work.

"No animals were harmed in the making of this mod". love it

So does this work on Crabs too?

Can't tame bonedog, any solution??

I tried to tame Gorillos (Specifically) the dark ones but they never want to talk or anything, did this happened to somebody more or it's just me?

im super late but ty for the links i thought i looked every where

Where can I find Robopacks?

@REZisWatching Yeah I made one a while ago as @Landbatman said.
https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2741341494

Do the animals you can't normally buy have portraits? I tamed a Gorrillo but their portrait was empty. Later I tamed a Crab and they had a portrait, I am guessing it's because they are default pets we can purchase

REZisWatching, a compatibility patch/mod for Radiant Animals already exists on the workshop, here the link!
https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2741341494

So Im using Radiant New Animal Subspecies, and i don't think its compatible> do you think it would be possible to make a patch for it? Id love to tame the variant Gorillos :( Sorry because i know im asking for more work, but thank you for taking the time to read.

i dont see a talk option when i put a creature in the cage... how does this work?

In case anyone is interested, i've made 2 patches for other popular mods:
Kaizo - TameBeasties Patch:
https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3382212561

TameBeasties - Travelling, Talking Civilians Patch (more crabs and some dogs):
https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3382210869

To answer some comments below:
- yes, you can tame Iron Spiders
- yes, you can tame blood spiders
- it works on megacrab
- for unknown reason, it works on some broken skeletons, who are not beasts.
- it works on every vanilla animal, but it'll not work for vanilla animals in squads, added by other mods, like Kaizo. That's why you'll need patches.
- if you really want to be a beastmaster with a lot of animals in your faction, consider using "no animal hunger" mod, or at least "Grazing" mod, it'll save you a lot of micromanagement.
