Vanilla Animals Expanded: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2871933948

link for the blind, this has these animals in 1.4

You know you can save your money and check the top of the description for a link to an updated version :)

would happily donate to somthing if it would help keep these animal mods updated. they are my favrets

fair enough

The reason is I didn't get around to it yet.

if these mods are deprecated is there a reason theyre still in the collection

is this getting update along with others animals mods?

We have no idea

Are these vanilla animal expanded mods compatible with CE? As of now I only saw the cave animals being stated as complatible with CE in the description.

I checked the stats of both the vanilla elephant and the indian elephant and it's clear that the vanilla african elephant is just a better caravan & hunting companion animal in every way, and they both have the same caravan riding speed.
My question is; does the indian elephant have a caravan speed bonus or reduced caravan speed penalty on mountainous terrain?

So here's something: you can edit one of the mods XML files to change the trainability level of animals (for instance I wanted attack anacondas). If anyone wants (and with permission of the author?) I can elaborate.

You can always dig a moat with VFE Medieval and have them assigned to that zone for flavor I suppose?^^

Yeah, they were never the most useful animals :)

since alligators have a trainability of none, is there a point to them now(as tamed animals)? they also act like pets and don't go into pens. can't use them for guarding or anything and they'll just wander around your base/area you set them to.

I only have them because a trader was selling fertilized eggs but i think i lost my investment.

I second the motion for (big) frogs. Frogs are versatile by nature, both as holy symbols and as delicious french cuisine. Would be extra cool if they could be "milked" for some sort of drug with a psychoactive effect for the new drug ideology, too :)

i know this has been suggested before but now with the Ideology dlc I feel this would be a great addition. Frog. I need Frog cult and to please the Frog god.

Call it a philosophical question perhaps, but actually curious; why, of all lizards, do alligators use a unique BodyDef? - a question I guess applies to Moose from Tundra, as well, if the answers are similar.

Good news: your modlist is not a toilet, so it can't clog! But no, in all seriousness, these are conceived as modular, and they'll never be put together.

how do I manually add tusks to the indian elephants? according to real world physics, "only some indian elephants have tusks" so there should be a "tusk drop rate" instead of just removing tusks all together

You need a mod like Giddy Up.

I'm sorry if anyone's asked this before but is there a way to make the elephant rideable?

A Dog Said animal healing does not appear to fix scars on indian elephants; not sure if other animals in this pack are affected

Yes, I can confirm what flyscotsman is saying about the 'Indiant elephants'. It's the line '<label>indiant elephant</label>' in the file 'Races_Expanded_TropicalSwamp.xml' that's causing the issue.

Hi there, thank you for all your hard work. Wanted to let you know I sometimes see a typo in events involving Indian elephants, calling them "Indiant elephants".

Oh boy I can now fully simulate Florida 10/10

So I was going through one of my bills in the kitchen. Looking through the list of animal meats, I see:

Indiant elephant meat.

Spelled exactly that way.

Please add ...
- Bullfrog
- Heron
- Shoebill
- Snapping Turtle
- Spoonbill

Nope, only the Livestock module

are all these in the base game now?

The Indian elephants don't seem to drop tusks when you butcher them. Was this intentional? Can they be changed to have tusks? Wikipedia says the males at least usually have tusks. :)

Yes

indian elephant ingame color is gray?? is it correct?

ello. Any plans for temperate biomes animals in the future? Thank you for your wonderful mods.

Neither is RimWorld to be honest as the geography of the planet is random. We lose on realism for the sake of interesting gameplay.

Note about the alligator/crocodile difference: the Arid Shrubland pack of this series focuses mainly on African animals. If the crocodile in it were to keep with the theme, that would make it the Nile Crocodile, which is larger and more aggressive than the American Alligator. Granted, the greater trainablility still makes some sense, as Nile Crocodiles are relatively social animals, but the alligator being bigger and more agressive is... not quite true-to-life.

I must say this mod is great, especially for animal lovers; But maybe male Asian elephants should have tusks? (English is not my native language, please forgive me for the grammatical mistakes.)

hi, i have made chinese translation for this mod :
https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?edit=true&id=1910791816

ok, good to know

Unfortunately not.

are there plans to make a compilation mod that has all these animal mods in one download?

Did you test the mod ingame or are you here to annoy me?

Did you just add *white* elephants?
10/10 best rimworld mod hands down, upvoted

agree

You're objectively the best modder of Rimworld.

The thing about small animals is the fact that they are small and not as important as the animals we decided to add. It’s important not to add 100s of new animals because that will only lower the chance of them appearing.

Keep it simple!

The main problem with smallish animals like frogs, kiwis, etc is that you spend a lot of time drawing the detail, and then they are like 4 pixels ingame. I'm not sure if that's why Oskar didn't add such small creatures, but it's the reason I added very few of them in Alpha Animals

I was thinking you might add some kind of frogs or toads with this biome, but still pretty great nonetheless. Looking forward to your future mods.

Too big and wild to allow them to attack. Crocodiles are smaller tho, and capable of being trained to release.

What, no attack alligators?

well. indian elephants do have smaller tusks...
