Rimworld has desensitized me.

I looked at this mod and thought "oh with this mod I can hunt endangered animals and sell rare pelts for absurd prices, how cool."

Yeah

Just wondering if that was how that worked. I notice one do that and then it filled the food bar without using any of my food. So is it just a free food thing they can do from time to time?

This made me learn the Tasmanian Devils are endangered, and made me very sad :(. I know this is just some rimworld mod, but I think things like these really do help spread awarness, thank you so much for providing resources to help these animals!!

Uh, why would it?

I noticed the Pangolins will 'eat ants' does that clean up filth?

Great mod

The giant panda is a bear and it also eats meat.

I have only one minor criticism I've only now realized.

Giant Pandas should be omnivores. They occasionally eat carrion and their digestive systems are still built like carnivores. That is my only critique.

i love thylacine

pangolins are my favorite animal, I'm so happy you made this mod

how do I add animals from other mods to the "endangered" category, so they show up only in the event and can be released to the wild? I thought some animals from Megafauna could fit in well.

I know there's a setting to make all animals releasable, but it's not quite what I'm looking for.

You must be so fun at parties

Releasing them to the wild still doesn't work for me, even when I release them RIGHT next to the border.

Does the mod choose a random border to send them to or the closest border?

yeah, i'm having a similar issue to other people here with release to repopulate command - my guess is it's the result of a mod conflict but the best way to eventually ensure it works is to create an area right at the map border and assign the animals to that before releasing. Even then I usually have to reload multiple times before i get it to fire correctly

I think I figured out the issue with 'release to repopulate'. A number of things are supposed to happen in order:

1. First, you get a dialog popup for each animal you issued the order to, that you must confirm.
2. After hitting confirm, the animal's ownership is changed from your faction to wild.
3. The game gives the animal an order to leave the map, an activity called "Going to the wild".
4. Once the animal reaches the border of the map, they're despawned and THAT is when you receive the +goodwill faction awards.

This final order only successfully goes through if the animal has an active path to the border. If there's a door blocking them, like if you had the animal in a barn, the order fails to be issued and the animal will instead just wander around the map aimlessly. They will never despawn and you will never gain goodwill.

That seems like a bug to me - they should be periodically re-issued the command to exit the map, in case that first order fails for whatever reason.

Working fine here, no fix needed

Has the release to wild been fixed yet?

Releasing them into the wild no longer functions for me.

I can't seem to release them back into the wild. They stay on the map. Sometimes they even stay in base.

Some minor typos:

•The information text that pops up when hovering over to repopulate has a typo.
To fix: \2366589898\Languages\English\Keyed\Misc_Gameplay.xml (Line 16)
"repupulate" --> "repopulate"

•Minor typo in giant panda description.
To fix: \2366589898\1.5\Defs\ThingDefs_Races\Races_Expanded_Endangered.xml (Line 634)
"herviborous" --> "herbivorous"

Other than that, great mod!

No.

is this not included in the Vanilla Animals Expanded mega pack?

Vanilla traders don't stock fertilized eggs

Meant just the eggs, not like a caravan animal. Fertilized ones too, so i could buy a few, ended up getting 6.

i managed to come across the rockhopper penguins, from some bulk goods trader. I don't know if that was supposed to happen?

While I get they're rare I think an option to have them naturally spawn in the wild, just albeit extremely unlikely would make it feel more immersive and not just "hey these 2 guys spawned you should tame them". small difference but i think it changes a lot of the feel of it

Can you harvest the Black Rhino horn and sell it at the market for great profit? (like you can sell elephant tusks) It would fit with brutal themes of Rimworld.

Yes

can the spawning event happen in any biome?

No, that has to be a mod conflict

Is it intended that as soon as I tame one of a pair, the other runs away? It seems every time I try to tame a pair I end up with only one.

Just search Youtube for it and prepare to laugh

Ah. OK!

Yeah XDD

Is there any good reason why the Tasmanian Devils sound like Spongebob? Do they in real life?

The mod is gone. Please, just forget about it for now.

No, we are not interested in revisiting the concept and invite drama

Hey Sarg,
can't you create something similar but different?
Like an "Underground Animals" mod? Or "Animals of the Abyss" ;-}
With "Tunnel Spiders", "Subterran Bears", "Flying Underground Serpents",... LOL
...I miss the Cavanimals...

It's gone, doesn't exist anymore

What happned to "vanilla animals - Caves"? i can only find language patches in 1.4 for them (french and german).

iirc infants count too

when I release animals to the wild, does it matter if they are fully grown or still infant animals (for the change of opinion of the other factions I mean)?

A bug

my colony started with a quagga and I wanted to restrict it to not be able to go inside as it leaves filth, but it doesn't show up in the animals tab. is this intended or a bug?

The tooltip for releasing an animal to the wild has a typo. It says "Release this animal to the wild to repupulate and increase relations with tribal and outlander factions."
"Repupulate" should obviously be "repopulate"
Happy to help :)

Repopulating seems to have no effect on Biotech-specific factions. Is this intentional?

The information text that pops up when hovering over "Release to Repopulate" has a typo.
It is saying "repupulate" instead of "repopulate".

This is for the Quagga, I am not sure if it is the same for any of the other species.

Minor typo in giant panda description as "herviborous" as opposed to herbivorous, might lose social credit.
