is this compatible with Genesis mod?

Is there a place i can store the milk i get from milking my bulls?

Question i have two Garru, one teen male, and one pup female and i can not find their children for the life of me. Is there a specific way for me to find them or is it that there was no child born to begin with as one is a female pup

DO YOU GET TO SEE THEM FYUCKIN??

Found a slight oversight. The Bonedogs and Boneyard Wolves are grouped together in the breeding dialogue trees. As a result, ff you attempt to breed two Boneyard wolves you will always end up getting a Bonedog instead.

Yeah its unfortunate that there's no "is_animal" conditional in FCS so I had to make it race-based. It is pretty easy to make a compatibility patch though, just add the modded dogs into the racial conditions of the bonedog dialogue

ah, i guess i never noticed.

(it may also be that the majority of my bonedogs are from the More Dogs mod and therefor incompatible with this mod.)

It should tell you when you talk to them, if its female the animal name will be prefaced by 'she'. So a female goat will be a "she-goat" and so on.

Quick Question.
After you obtain an animal where can you easily see their gender?

While looking at a traders purchasable livestock you can see the genders of all the animals, but after buying them there doesn't seem to be a place to find it and plastic surgeons (via the renaming animals mod) wont tell you their gender.

RwexHouston I would love that if it existed cos I want to make my own hive and not have to rely on recruits from bars.

is there a mod like this but for hive queens

Thank you @Batrach

I'll check them out! Great job

I actually made a patch myself for the vanilla starts, it just adds squads to those starts instead of the weird at-runtime generation.

Its basically because animal dialogue packages are tied to squads, and those starts technically don't have a squad template to add it to in FCS. Instead they have characters listed that are added to a squad that gets auto-generated at runtime.

The custom start thing looks like an easy fix that I can help patch (at least for like UWE / vanilla game starts).

All I would need to do is add the dialogue package to the starting squad? Should be pretty quick then.

Why in particular are those 4 starts (the ones you listed) are incompatible? Just curious as I can probably try to fix it as well.

Lol @CelticChaos

Looks like a great mod! Can't wait to try it out, great job!

Whoops, should be fixed now. Thanks for the heads up.

I love this mod, thanks for taking the time to make it. It still works as intended. Just for grins I attempted to breed bonedogs - which worked - except I was presented with two baby goats - gave me quite the chuckle.

@TamTroll I would recommend keeping a few player characters in Nameless_0 (Which you can rename if you want btw) to re-recruit your livestock, that way they'll always go back to nameless_0. It's more of a hastle than farming, I will admit, but what you get in return is a mobile food-factory.

A good way to try out the mod mechanics is the Wandering Trader start, as you start off with a bull that you can dismiss to get started with.

So far haven't played with any animals, how difficult of a task is it to round up all the dismissed animals and put them into the nameless_0 tab all over again?

Was thinking i could just leave all the animals in nameless_0 and move all my people to nameless_1 and then just set-it-and-forget-it, but it sounds like dismissing animals removes them from the tab entirely, so i'm not entirely sure how this'll work.

Love the idea of proper animal husbandry in the game, but i'm not sure how much of a hassle this mod would be.

Is this compatible with the waste fiends mod?

@___ Is this on a new game? An import? where were you when trying to dismiss them? Were these animals in the squad originally called Nameless_0? Please put as much detail as you can in the Bug reports section, it really helps.

I have a similar issue to @Chamber. My characters can't talk to my dismissed goats. I've removed any mods in case one changed tech hunters dialogue, but with no results.

@Turt Would need a patch for that, should be as easy as adding the modded race as a condition to the crab dialogue.

Thanks for the response! I might look into it at one point, but I was mainly just asking out of curiosity. Though I do have one more question. I'm looking at using a mod that adds a new type of crab called Swamp Crabs. Would these new crabs be compatible with the breeding and "milking" in this mod or would I need to make a patch?

@I have not touched save-editing very much, but there is this guide: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1370334383

If it is possible to add animal dialogue through this, and you can't add it through some orthodox means, you can probably try manually copy-pasting the string ID of the dialogue package into the right place.

Question. Is it possible to add dialogue packages to existing games using FCS? And if so, would it be possible to add the animal package to a new squad created at a later time? I'm new to FCS so I'm still learning the limitations and such.

THANK YOU!

@May be another mod affecting dialogue of dismissed players. I believe there are a few that cause dismissed players to join other tech-hunter squads, although unless you dismissed them then saved/quit and loaded again their animal dialogue should still inherit. Let's talk about this more in a discussion.

Having an issue where my animals are given to another faction and I can't talk to them once dismissed from party. Is this a know issue?

@Inquisition Time! Only Goats, Bulls, Garru, and Crabs. I figured something as big as a Behemoth wouldn't qualify as domesticated. Feel free to make a patch though, you can just look at my dialogue in fcs and copy it as much as you want.

Does it work with behemoths or giant variants of beasts?
