my first thought about sentience catalysts was that they'd put this mod out of business, but nope, still as useful as ever

I would also love a version for plants, some plants have insanely long grow times (glowstools with their 40 days to grow)

Version 1.6.8
Added toxic environment resistance setting

---

@KawwaK
I'd love to have this for plants, weapons, etc... But it was lot of work to make, though adding new settings is now mostly copy & paste, so making something for plants, weapons or something else would at least not require me to redo the whole UI/settings, probably...it's still a ton of work.

Nice mod. I'd like this but for weapons.

@Sycamore
Interesting to hear about the apparently version related issue. Wonder what happened there.
And "Toxic Environment Resistance"? Never heard of that, will put it on my list to look into (the todo list for CA was currently empty actually)

@waghhhhhhhhhhhh
Glad to hear!

A quick and elegant fix, now everything is fine. Thank you!

Ah, also is there any plan to add Toxic Environment Resistance as an editable category? Most animals have 50% Toxic Resistance but some like rats and boomalopes also have 80-100% environment resistance that protects them even more against toxic fallout and even helps against rot stink.

Huh, I had the same issue with this mod as Zalbag, where the local map refused to load. Even on a new save with just this and Harmony (and the DLCs) on. But I was running an older version of Rimworld (1.6.4518) and now that I've updated to 1.6.4543 the issue disappeared. Which I am grateful for as this mod rocks! I was so sad to see that "colossus" toads weren't even as big as a horse but now I can fix that without having to learn how to make my own mod :)

Version 1.6.7
Check for SteamAppId for Odyssey instead of Name

---

Should work now, I hope. Didn't expect the DLC names to get translated

Oh… yes, you’re absolutely a genius. I mainly play the game in Simplified Chinese, and I just switched the game language to English—the Vacuum Resistance option appeared! Maybe it’s a translation error… But what’s strange is, I swear that before the 1.6.5 update, I used this mod to set the Vacuum Resistance of the creatures in my kemomimihouse to 100%. After the update, those options disappeared. I tried re-subscribing to the mod and even enabling it alone, but I really didn’t expect it to be a language issue…

Are you certain you actually have Odyssey active/selected in your mod list though?
Or hm...do you play the game in another language? ... I don't know...

Since the 1.6.5 update, my Vacuum Resistance option has disappeared, as well as the Special Trainables. Before this, Vacuum Resistance was available. I also own Odyssey and it is activated.

Version 1.6.6
Added CanCrossBreedWith & CrossAggroWith settings

Wasn't expecting it to also fix the Game_FinalizeInit_Postfix bug for you, but hey, if it works, it works and that's all that matters

@syrus omfg. ok, it was the vacuum res. i unsubbed and resubbed, because for some reason, the fix didnt auto update. it looks like it's all working fine now. you did a great job tracking that. big ups. :D

@syrus i'm sorry i did leave out one thing you asked for: what i was doing:. it's on map load. doesn't matter what type, either new game, or a save. the overworld can render but getting into any area causes "error loading map". esc still brings up menu and i can save/quit, return to menu, etc. but no map will load.

@syrus so i retested a few minutes ago, i removed everything i had except harmony and hugslib (and core) and custom animals. same error. mostly i wanted to do this so i could give you a github link with just your mod so you can see where it's tripping.
but.. you mentioned a check for vacuum res, you think it's an issue with me not having any DLC?
vacuum res. might not be the only DLC specific trait the mod incorporates? idk, the crashlog shows a loop of "Could not regenerate layer" fog_of_war, and snow

here's the link:
https://gist.github.com/HugsLibRecordKeeper/dbba226d192705c0e9d331b4a2d02fc9

i hope this helps

Version 1.6.5
Added check for Odyssey being active for Vacuum Resistance & Special Trainables

---

@Zalbag13
That solves one the vacuum resistance error, but without further info I'm unsure what the Game_FinalizeInit_Postfix issue is.

Post the error (log), preferably a HugsLib log if you use that, and maybe a description of what you were doing, if it's a more complex process to replicate it, not what some AI says about it - I could do the latter myself if I had any care for what AI says - and it's never more helpful than the logs.

chat had this to say: "These errors point squarely at CustomizeAnimals itself—not necessarily a conflict with another mod—specifically during its setup phase:

The first crash happens even before game generation proceeds, inside the mod's global settings initialization.

The second occurs when the mod tries to hook into the game's start process via Harmony.

This is unlikely to be caused by load order or another mod"


"Based on the stack trace, the issue lies in GlobalSettings.Initialize() and HarmonyPatches.Game_FinalizeInit_Postfix()."

i'm hoping this is helpful, if you want i can give you the github link for the full report.

getting a failed to load the map error when i run the mod. i asked gpt to scan the error log

"Exception: System.TypeInitializationException: The type initializer for 'CustomizeAnimals.Settings.SettingVacuumResistance' threw an exception. —> System.NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object
at CustomizeAnimals.GlobalSettings.Initialize () …
at CustomizeAnimals.CustomizeAnimals.Initialize () …"

and

"Exception from asynchronous event: System.NullReferenceException … at CustomizeAnimals.HarmonyPatches.Game_FinalizeInit_Postfix()"
were the stand outs."

Version 1.6.4
Added special trainables setting (i.e. "training types")

Might have a little performance impact on loading a save file due to having to make sure all animals have the correct abilities, hope it works fine.

For the todo-list:
- blocked by fence -> rejected: it depends on roaming behaviour, any animals that roams will be blocked by fence, all others will not. While I thought of a way that might work to dettach the two behaviours, it would likely cause sideeffects, so I decided to not implement it
- training types (Odyssey) -> todo: yet to look into it because I mistook it with normal training types earlier
- vacuum resistance (Odyssey) -> done: tested and worked with humans, hopefully also with animals

Version 1.6.3
Added vacuum resistance setting
Made toxic resistance setting available for humans -- don't remember why it wasn't but it seems to work? Hopefully there's no reason I'm missing/forgot about why I did not include that setting for humans...

The corrected part works perfectly. Thanks a lot!

I would like to suggest allowing us to change if an animal can do the new jobs that animals can do in Odyssey (not sure if its a 1.6 thing or Odyssey mechanic). The comfort, digging, etc jobs (theres probably more, just these two I have found so far).

For example, an otter should be able to "comfort" if a Seal is, by default, allowed to. And they should be allowed to dig, considering in the description it even mentions Otters using simplistic tools like rocks, to open shellfish.

Okay, thank you!

Not by me. It's a lot of work and I still have a backlog of things to put into Customize Animals.

Unless someone makes a mod that allows modifying everything ingame in a generic way. I'm pretty sure there was such a mod at some point but it was not maintained due to the amount of issues and sideeffects of such a mod.

This mod is really useful! Will there be a mod that lets us adjust the basic stats of buildings?

does this mod allow me to allow female elephant to have tusks when butchered?

Yep! First time an update of RimWorld after a DLC caused a mod of mine to break

Ah right. I forgot they pushed a couple patches for 1.6 already.

I meant that it was introduced in the latest update to 1.6 actually, it was working previously on 1.6 already

Yup it's a 1.6 change.

Version 1.6.2
Fixed DegradationPeriodTicks error, contributed by @MAL22

---

Must've changed that method with the last update, it was working before, but thanks for the submitted fix

I've submitted a fix on the Github repository for the ambiguous match error with DegradationPeriodTicks. The method was changed with patch 1.6.

The same error has just started showing up for me as well.

i am getting an error on start up https://gist.github.com/HugsLibRecordKeeper/a92cab4c00ff1e859080fb23852abeb5 Error in static constructor of CustomizeAnimals.HarmonyPatches: System.TypeInitializationException: The type initializer for 'CustomizeAnimals.HarmonyPatches' threw an exception. ---> System.Reflection.AmbiguousMatchException: Ambiguous match in Harmony patch for RimWorld.TrainableUtility:DegradationPeriodTicks ---> System.Reflection.AmbiguousMatchException: Ambiguous match found.

Version 1.6.1
Fixed GrowthTier options not applying

---

As far as I could tell, it should apply now properly.
I'm unsure if the "Growth Moment Ages" settings are working correctly though, changing that got me some weird results with several growth moment events and such, and the first settings for "Baby" does nothing...I don't know. Might need to look into that at some point, if someone can tell me how it is supposed to work

@Syrus
Yes, I've tried both. I reloaded the save file and also completely restarted RimWorld, but unfortunately, the issue with the Growth Tiers options for the Human-only setting persists.

* The image below shows the situation right after launching the game, with an arbitrary pawn set to age 7 using Character Editor.

@cocoa
It might require restarting the game or at least reloading to apply, could you test that?

Unfortunately, after testing with only this mod and Harmony enabled (with all other mods disabled), it appears that adjusting the Growth Tier options doesn't function correctly. Specifically, the required growth points for each tier, the number of traits, passions, and choices gained upon reaching each tier are not being applied properly.

However, I want to emphasize that all other animal-related options in your mod work wonderfully! Thank you so much for your hard work on this mod.

(*I'll make sure to leave a new comment immediately if I discover it's due to another issue with my game settings.)

Easiest way to make all animals nuzzle in 1.6. Thank you!

Thank you a ton!!! This mod is a must-have for me every run, and I'm really glad that you're continuing to work on it, thank you!

thank you

Even if I don't respond, I read the comments and (hopefully remember to) add them to a TODO-list. No promises on when I will get around to it, nor whether the things can be implemented

Current items on the list:
- blocked by fence
- training types (Odyssey)
- vacuum resistance (Odyssey)
- making the mod incompatible with CE if it isn't already...

would it be possible to add vacuum resistance to the traits you can customize?

can you change if an animal can be blocked by a fence with this?

This is honestly one of my favourite and most needed mods, thank you so much for keeping up with it!!
A small question: are you planning on adding an option to adjust/add the new training types (like Comfort, Digging,...) to the menu, or is that something that'd be too involved to do?

Is this compatible with CE? I just want to modify the mass of animals becaause for some reason all of the non-pack animals have 0/0 mass. Thank you.
