Oh awesome! Thank you :)

@Killerkitty641
- check out the new fluffy fauna mod. The ferrets are in there:)

Enjoy your holiday Erin! No rush on this end, take your time.

YAY!! ferrety goodness!

sweet take your time you got into july 11th wean the update comes out

@Sanghelli Lord
- The wildness stat got moved in the xml between 1.5 and 1.6 so it'll throw errors. I'm back home from vacation in a couple of days so I will make a start on updates soon.

hopefully this will work in 1.6

holy

ok

@will bye the physics man
- <wildBiomes>
<BorealForest>0.4</BorealForest>
<TemperateForest>0.4</TemperateForest>
</wildBiomes>


They spawn in the forests.

im in a temperate forest and i havent seen any spawn

The forests, I believe

what biomes do they spawn in?

This is the best mod known to man.

Aw www. . Ah well, I greatly appreciate that this mod exists at all!

It would be a nightmare to do :((

I will use magic to make an Immortal Ferret Hero.
Also, I could you add a potential recreation/action pawns can take with them where they wear them as scarves, or put them on their shoulders? It would be a nightmare to do, probably, but it would be very cool.

okay sorry i get it

Be patient instead of spamming comments, thanks

you will update for 1.5?

@Mohammed Abdullah Al-Zaffar
- Do it

i'll make a colony with 80x more ferrets than humans

Look, not loon. Gdi.

@CrazyBastard101 - I didn't include a patch? Also isn't there an auto patcher for a dog said these days.. regardless, I'll have a loon.

is there any way to make this compatible with the "a dog said" mod? because bionic enhanced ferrets would be cool

Oops

They killed my chihuahua

@Scarlet Sade - Ahahaha that's brilliant.

I trained my ferrets to haul. I thought I saw a boulder moving by itself. It was not. The ferret was moving it. As a former ferret owner I know if there's a will there's a way. Accurate to reality 10/10.

no, but that's a vanilla behaviour

Are the ferrets supposed to be drinking alcohal?

Also you can use Customize animal mod
https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2587157544&searchtext=customize+animal

Checking that ;
this mod has ferrets are tackling animals just shy of target size COUGARs
0.9 ferrets, vs 1.0 of cougars
By contrast housecats tackle body size animals of .25

(good mod to balance stats of other animals introduced, or at least compare them)

@Tactical Drongo - As I said, the balancing with body sizes in Rimworld is whacky, so I promise nothing, but I can have a look at some point.

not speaking of domesticated ones

you should maybe consider that weasels and ferrets and the like have actually an unproportional high bite strentgh compared to most animals
(so I would give it a strong, if maybe slow, bite that has a good chance of debilitating small prey - although I have no idea on how easy that would be with coding)

unrelated: the ferret models are really cute and well drawn, thanks for the mod

@Tactical Drongo - Well domestic ferrets aren't that strong irl either and are feisty little bastards. :P I'll see if i can tweak things but with Rimworld's body sizes being so whack, I can't promise anything.

They are adorable but they pick loosing fights all the time D:
best hunting outcome I've seen was a dead rat next to a dead ferret

You're very welcome!!

As a ferret owner this is gold. thank you so much

If we cant give them shield belts then lets meet in the middle. Helmets that shoot freakin' laser beams

That's the RNG in play. xD I see ferrets all the time, and I have the same version that I uploaded to steam. :)

I like the idea of this mod a lot but in my experience I've mostly only seen ferret corpses. Found one yesterday next to a dying squirrel with ferret bites all over it, so the ferret was killed by the squirrel it was trying to hunt.

Great! Now I can have my slippers stolen in real life, AND virtually!

@The Great Azbell - LMAO. perfect

I may or may not be breeding an army to take over the planet.

@The Great Azbell - ....Why.. would you want to put shield belts on my ferrets??? if you want to keep them safe, keep them indoors. :D :D :D

Is there another mod that allows me to put shield belts on them?

YES, this is the best mod.

how it feels to Chew 5 Gum.

best mod ever 10/10
