Glad you like it. Tha animals are up to date anyway, since they were easy. The races are all still behind. I haven't had the time or brain cells to work on them.

I haven't played this game for a long time. As soon as I opened the game, the Workshop was a big red. Glad your module version is up to 1.5 I can use it

Make Rimworld great again!

No worries! <3 I thought I’d offer just in case.

I'm glad you like it enough to do that. Though I personally would feel like it's not mine any more if I use soneone else's art. You could probably post it as a graphics patch. I know someone else did that a while back.

I know I forgot the shading for the rats when I made these. It was my first mod, so I was still figuring stuff out.

So... I got a bit carried away and remastered the graphics for this mod for some of my rat-loving buddies. If you want the remastered graphics, shoot me a friend req and I'll send you them <3 https://imgur.com/a/Ptv96jv

Good to know. I haven't really had much opportunity to do Rimworld stuff lately. But that should be a quick fix.

Looks like your mod works just fine! If you add a 1.5 tag to About.xml you'll be all set :D

Aww thank you

absolutely essential mod

Eventually. I haven't had time and energy to look at all the 1.5 stuff and see how it has broken everything yet.

will this be updated for 1.5? <3 I love this mod!

That's awesome! Addicted to petting chaos potatoes.

Also, I recommend "Animals are Fun". Then you can watch your colonists play fetch with the rats.

I also downloaded a mod called Touch animal.My character has become addicted to touching FancyRats.I don't have many points, but I hope that thanks you

making supersized fancy rats. So my rat hoard will be able to haul all the things

But I am glad you are able to enjoy the mod despite its faults.

it is random, there is no controlling it. Unfortunately each coat type would actually have to be a separate creature entirely(which would prevent interbreeding) if I wanted them to black rats to make black rat babies and brown rats to make brown rat babies, etcetera. instead there is just a list of potential graphics that it pulls from at random when rolling a new rat. There MIGHT be a way to have a sort of color breeding system, but that would require a much better modder than myself.

I have however considered taking out the silly rats, like the unicorn and the dragons rats, and making those a separate mod when I get around to it.

How do I control the coat color of the mice, I want to keep my real-life fancyrat in the game, but the skin color in the mod is born randomly,

Thank you very much to the author, you are the first to do the fancyrats mod.

I don't know, friend. It's been up for a couple years. Maybe the game had just updated(again, lols) and I hadn't updated the mod yet?
But I'm really glad you are loving it. Thank you. :)

where was this mod a year ago? why did I not come across it? I know what I've been missing out on, because I've been searching for all the rat mods one year ago. why? why not.

Truly the fanciest rat that has ever fancied

I was so delighted when I saw the special fancy rats, I love them. The dapper rat is truly the fanciest fancy rat!

That's why I made them. :) I like having pet rats and was pretty dissapointed with the lack of ratty-love. They really need more recognition as adorable and smart pets.

At some point I may change this mod to remove the dapper, unicorn, dragon, and metallic rats. Since I kinda want to make a separate "silly rats" mod.

Thank you so much for making this! I just got this game and was appalled to see that Rats had trainability set to none! (and the game is very mean to them in the description!)

No problem. :)

Thank you for your commitment to ratkind.

wow!! thank you for updating!! I love this mod!

Might actually get it done today. Had a little time this afternoon and didn't get any red errors when I made them 1.4, so animals might not have had any changes at all. Gonna let the game run with some critters spawned in for a few in-game days and see if any errors come up.

I am hoping to get around to it this weekend.

please update for 1.4 <3

I'm sorry for your loss friend. My girls are all elderly at this point, so I know I'll be in the same boat again before long.

I enjoy having a rat swarm. But I also play with the Super Animals mod, which allows any animal to haul without training. Getting all your starting equipment put away goes way faster when you have 30 rats. And it's funny to watch.

I lost my lovely ratto, Kiko, the day before yesterday. I'm going to install this mod in her honour! Great work, OP!

<3

I've always been a bit sad that rats didn't nuzzle like other pets did. Thank you for this mod!

I'm sorry for your loss. Despite me having had rodents for 20 years of my life, it never gets any easier to witness a fuzzy friend take their final sleep.
Stay strong. Thanks for taking the time to update the mod.

Ok guys. It looks like the changes to animals were fairly minimal, so hopefully all my animal mods will work now. If they misbehave, let me know and i will try to get to it when i can. but life has been very unfriendly and busy.

Thank you ratty friend. We very sadly lost some of our ratties recently, so things have been a bit rough.

It's okay. Just stay safe and stay healthy, ratfriend.

I will try to update all my mods when I get the chance. Life has been so busy lately that I haven't touched my computer in weeks.

Could you update this for 1.3? Pleeaaaase!~

Awesome, thank you! I'll be sure to give you credit and I'll leave a link to it here when it's ready.

I have a Discord, though I don't use it much.

And you may, but please cite me as the original creator and post a link to my mods that you are using to make yours.

Hello, I was wondering if I could ask for your permission to create an enhanced version of your rat mods. I want to merge your three rat mods together, create 512x textures for each rat, and add new special variants for each one. If possible, is there any place I could speak to you about it outside Steam?

No idea. I've never used that mod before.

Welp, if this works with Animal Genetics I'm making a rat breeding facility

noted.

no. The dragon rats are only a skin, they are still just normal fancy rats as far as abilities and stats.

second degree burns? was that a dragon rat that did that?

Accidental second degree burns and elephants at the emergency vet with shredded lungs? 😂😂

Man, I love this game.
