For anyone who is still keeping track of this mod, I had to make a new version as the original file was on a different computer that broke, so I had to make a new mod. I have also looked at feed back and changed some of the spawning stats, as well as touching up the art a bit. Sorry for the long hiatus, but I have recently graduated from university, and have a lot of free time as I search for a new job.

Will this mod need an update for 1.4?

Not sure if you're still updating this mod anymore, but I wanted to offer some feedback. I've done some testing in a couple games with this and other animal mods, and it seems like the animals in this mod, especially the Sangrena and Megawolf, are "weighted" much higher than other animals. Especially for big predators. Without the mod, I will usually only see 0-2 large predatory animals on the map at the same time, and maybe a few smaller ones. With this mod, I will see a *minimum* of 2-4 animals from this mod, in *addition* to any other normal predator spawns. And at least in the Temperate Forest, it's always the Sangrena and Megawolf. It's not unusual to see 3 of the wolves on any given map at any one time. I saw below you mentioned the wolves were spawning too frequently, but there was an update since then, so not sure if something else is wrong or not. But I wanted to let you know.

Thats a lot of THICC bois

The mod has been updated, the trailing whitespace issue should be resolved.

Yes I've noticed that, I'm going to fix that in an update that I will release with some new textures I've made for the animals.

On startup in the 1.3 version, there are some errors about trailing whitespace in the descriptions: https://gist.github.com/HugsLibRecordKeeper/9e9c1974aa2a06ce500665bd5eafcd8a#file-output_log-txt-L54-L88

Currently working on a few different projects, but while testing those I've noticed Megawolves spawn way too frequently, so I will be releasing an update to make them much rarer given that I've seen them tear bears apart. Once I figure out how I may have an event where a pack of them show up.

For anyone wondering what changes in an update I try to keep that updated in the Change Notes.

i think it would be neat to add a dire wolf but to name it a megawolf to fit in with other vanilla animals lorewise

I wouldn't be opposed to having a direwolf battle mount, especially for more fantasy/medieval oriented playthroughs

I would like some input, should I add a giant direwolf esque creature as a battle mount? There are a lot of mods that add direwolves and I am wondering if it would be ok to add one in my mod.

I have finished the textures for the armor for each animal and will upload the armor submod as soon as I write the defs.

I had an idea for snakes that have non-lethal venom for capturing prisoners. Maybe a fake dragon.

that's fair, I was just wondering if you were interested in creating a reptile or rodent themed war beast. I don't have any specific ideas but I was just curious if you had any ideas for such creatures or not

I will consider requests but I can make no promises as I am not really a good artist and my modding experience is rudimentary at best.

do you take requests in regards to what kind of creatures you'll be adding in future updates?

Also, I'm really glad to see you updating this mod series. The Rimshepherd has been a lot of fun to use in my playthroughs

@Saturnian Trooper You say this but I fully intend to add a mega bear based on the war bears from the Leviathan series, because giant bears with artillery on their back is badass.

Nice idea! Rimworld lore is much more interesting than "inserts" from other settings.
