Unavoidable

the arctic lion appears on the wildlife tab even when it's stalking, which lets you target and track it easily (probably not intended but idk)

I can't actually access the bug reports pin because Steam has been throwing an error for two days, but it seems like Ironhusk Beatles have trainability, but require a pen anyway.

sorry if im wrong but i dont think the insectoids are properly adjusted for insectoids 2. such as mammoth worm getting slowed by royal insect jelly floor and giving animal filth message on regular jelly floor. (which other insects from insectoids 2 and base game dont do)

Ah, no. I assumed it would work on stony soil, but if its sand only, then never mind.

Is he on base game sand?

Hi, question about the sand squid. It mentions being able to give fertility to soil when tamed, but that doesn't appear to be the case. It also doesn't appear to be abled to be trained to "distribute its slime around the fields to increase terrain fertility even more". Is that part flavour only or...?

Ok thanks!

Random

Hey I was wondering if the gigantalope carrying capacity trait is randomly chosen at birth or if it is based off of the parents/grandparents? Thanks.

I've had a strange interaction with Herald of the Black Hive psycast.
During Archon Raid (from VE Ancients I think), I've had a raider with a weapon granting them Spawn Black Spider psycast. Upon casting it enemy spawned a black spider allied with my faction that attacked them.
I haven't seen it happen outside of it cause I get psycaster enemies very rarely, but hopefully this information can be of use.

Hello, I noticed that when an arctic lion turns invisible during a stalking event, I'm still able to see it in the wildlife tab, thus showing its position despite the invisibility.
Is this a game limitation or a bug?

It uses base game (Odyssey) code, so not much I can change there

For some reason i can use animal abilities without actually training them, like controlled detonation on the aerofleet without having actually trained it to do that.

What

I was hoping it'd be something known or something, I got it killed and its fine now, I'm attributing that problem to this one feralisk clutch mother reskin mod I was using and will ignore my problems until they show up again.

Without an error log, it's caused by leprechauns

Hey so for some reason a feralisk clutch mother showed up to my colony, and it literally CAN'T hit its cobweb, which I'm all for, however, my TPS has dropped to 10, while previously I could get to 360 / 360 on triple speed?

ok i'm trying to figure out if i have my spawn settings right... a check mark means it will spawn and an X means it will not spawn correct? or is that backwards? i used to have this figured out. i think i have it right because i went and checked in the xml settings in app data but i just want to double check

You'd have to ask Oskar!

Hey Sarg, curious why have you never updated the Boombat's corpse to have missing sacks like the Boomrat and Boomalope did?

From Alpha Implants? Yeah, that's a solution :)

I can have everything! I installed the Animal Control or w/e it's called implant and I can now draft the Behemoth at will :D

I just also realized the Attack icon is not a kiwi bird but a warg lol

Oh I see. Guess I can't have everything :D

That's the base game trainable, not the Odyssey one

I tried just with Harmony, VEF and AA and it has the trainable https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3600631399

I don't think I gave AttackTarget trainable to the Behemoth

That's fair. Another issue with the Forsaken Behemoth I have it cannot be directed to attack despite being trained in Attack, there is 2 icons for Fire Breath on its action bar, but regardless of which of the two icons I use they both go on cd once he breathes fire. The icon with the little kiwi bird and target reticle to send animal to attack a target manually is missing greatly reducing the Behemoth's combat utility. I also have a Ripper Hound and Razorjack which can be trained in Attack, both of them are and they have the icon to attack manually. Thanks for any ideas.

Nah, it's intended. I could make a separate achievement, or modify the tracker to detect a list of hediffs instead of just one, but it's too much work for a single achievement

Wouldn't that be a bug then that the Butterfly triggers achievement mentioning squid? I never had a Sand Squid, but I got the achievement. Though at the end of the day it's just a cosmetic small thing.

That hediff is there just to track achievements in VE Achievements. It does nothing

Hi, the Empress Butterfly shows the hediff from Sand Squid after fertilizing sand, is it the same hediff? I haven't got no sand and the Butterfly usually fertilizes soil and gives the tile 110% fertility. Just wondering if they're supposed to share the hediff or if the Empress Butterfly is supposed to have it's own. https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3600017204

Thanks for the mod, having a lots of fun with all the cool animals. A Forsaken Behemoth selftamed and remembering my experience from last colony when I "tried" to kill 2 of them I reckon next raid is going to have a bad time.

lol no

shock goats might be causing a lot of frame stutter, hm

When a mime wanderer joins there no info about his best stat like all the normal wanderers, wich makes him stand out.

it also happened to samuel streamer which was cathartic to see.

If only we could all have such a glorious death as the mighty Wind Beast.

I would formally like to laugh in an evil way

I would formally like to request the removal or reworking of the wind beast.

I keep losing bases to them dying

You can dislike anything, no matter how popular it is

I'm sorry! It's just that they're so popular but I don't like to use them, it's completely irrational.

Everything that was logical to put on the Framework is on the Framework, but we take suggestions in the VE testing server on Discord.

Also, stop giving flak to something I do on my spare time for free, you weirdo!

You know what? I personally give a lot of flak to these Alpha mods usually, but thanks for putting all the good code for these mods in VE framework.
Main series VE has all sorts of features, like comps for needing to place something under a roof, all exclusive to the mod they come from, so people can't use them in just XML.
Thanks, chef!

Yeah, you can assume they are working as I intended at the moment. I revised most of the mod last week when redoing the wiki

@ExplorerRowan

I agree, a few of the animals should be re-looked at and changed to pack animals, but it is ultimately Sarg's decision or if you want to make a patch I am sure he'd be fine with it.

Those that are pack animals, are pack animals

Given that the descriptions of several of the old Forsakens animals say that Forsakens and tribals use them as working animals, could some of them be pack animals, too? The shadow charger seems like it ought to be able to be a pack animal at the very least.

This mod doesn't touch map sizes at all

I have mostly given up on Giddy-Up, it has changed hands way too many times
