@Joakero94, Yeah, I remember seeing their entrance while in the FCS for this one. I think the creator just forgot to mention them in the steam page.

Does this mod add red raptors to Okran Pride?

For anyone interested I created a small mod that fixes the hitbox of the spiders (a bug in the base game as well), which prevented accurate crossbowmen from hitting their shots. https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3448087758&searchtext=

Can anyone tell me if I need to import to make this mod work?
Scrunt Aug 31, 2024 @ 10:33pm 
Just a heads up this mod includes many changes not listed in the description, including world states and equipment changes
MGJ Sakazaki Aug 31, 2024 @ 9:52pm 
If I could suggest, I would suggest you to exclude seadog, reason is that a lot of mods already insert lots of kind of wolves. One more is kind of already too much. xD
But great mod, btw.

Hey Sheldon, I'll add it to my list of projects. I mentioned this to Anrhaa as well, who uses this mod in their "UWE Items Integration Patch" mod (I might have the name wrong). I'm honestly not sure why it messes with the Wanderer start but I'll check it out.

Needs a Patch on Wander's Game Start's Equipment and Stats
pickgag Aug 12, 2024 @ 7:58pm 
Looks like a nice mod. Unfortunately it appears to mess with the Wanderer game start's equipment and stats, or at the very least conflicts with mods that do.I tried placing this mod both below and above my game starts to the same result.

Beautiful mod, but I would like to report a problem/glitch

I'm in the world's end city, primaveal gorillas spawn all the time ever and ever, I'm making thousands of cats in furs. I think need fix

Can add de big meat to food storage??
Saiku May 11, 2023 @ 8:02am 
I managed to give myself a crash course on FCS and took a look at the mod, it looks like the Fog Spider squad spawn has Skin Spider as the animal race listed under it. Changing it fixed the issue, unsure if anything else in the mod has small errors. Either way, wonderful mod <3
Saiku May 10, 2023 @ 6:45am 
I downloaded this mod and noticed that skin spiders spawn in the fog islands, but not the fog spiders, did I do something wrong? Should the load order be different? (For me I have it near the top.)
Zero Ningen Feb 27, 2023 @ 7:47am 
One issue i've noticed is due to the red raptor camps in vain the area is nearly devoid of beak things which to casual observer may appear as a bug
Strong Glass Feb 24, 2023 @ 4:10pm 
Great mod, one problem though: there seems to be no raw prime meat storage, also you cant store dried meat in food storage
The Mr Shears  [author] Feb 9, 2023 @ 12:24am 
Or farm storage, I'll check...
The Mr Shears  [author] Feb 9, 2023 @ 12:23am 
Yeah, you should just unlock it after researching fabrics.
Phoenix Chorus Jan 30, 2023 @ 5:34am 
Is there a storage box for wool?
DestPrince Jan 22, 2023 @ 5:02am 
Thank you. Not to impose but perhaps you could include this info in the description, just in case I'm not the only one who didn't figure this out, heh.
The Mr Shears  [author] Jan 21, 2023 @ 3:39am 
There is a prime meat campfire, just click on the campfire in the build list and there should be an arrow to switch to the prime meat campfire.
DestPrince Jan 20, 2023 @ 4:43pm 
Thanks, additionally, is there a way for me to cook the Raw Prime Meat into the Dried version, or is that not a possibility yet?
The Mr Shears  [author] Jan 20, 2023 @ 10:18am 
Yes, it does add prime meat to the bigger animals just to give more reward for hunting them.

I don't know if it is compatible with Genesis, but as long as it doesn't add anything to animal's inventories then it should work fine.
Dr.Macari Jan 15, 2023 @ 10:14pm 
Great work on the mod. Is it compatible with Genesis? I want to add it in my current save, is it safe to add?
DestPrince Jan 13, 2023 @ 10:55am 
Does this mod also include Prime Raw Meat? It wasn't mentioned in the description, and I was surprised to see Prime Meat on the Animals I butchered in-game.

The Mr Shears  [author] Jan 4, 2023 @ 7:31am 
Sorry for taking forever to answer, i've been away from Kenshi for a while:

Fork and Kirrie you are fine to use my mod.

Unit2960, the tamebeasties patch had a bag, but i probably should add a bag in the base mod. Cheers for telling me!

Satuh, i'm clueless on what makes the skimmers starve, as it eats just fine when i tested. Maybe one of the mods you are using?
Satuh Jan 2, 2023 @ 12:36am 
What do pond skimmers eat? I've tried many things and they just don't eat and starve to death
KirrieD Dec 27, 2022 @ 11:47pm 
Hi, can I use your work in my build?
Unit2960 Nov 25, 2022 @ 12:17am 
any way to get a backpack for the Runty Leviathan?
Canadianeurysm Nov 20, 2022 @ 3:58pm 
Hello, I am developing an overhaul mod for Kenshi and wanted to ask if I could use your mod as part of my overhaul as an integrated feature (with credit, of course).
The Mr Shears  [author] Oct 28, 2022 @ 3:13pm 
It should be completely fine. The spawn list for a zone will only be added to by mods, not overwritten. Though if it does change spawn frequency for a vanilla squad then im pretty sure the mod loaded last will take priority
Oct 27, 2022 @ 9:02pm 
is this compatible with other mods that change animal spawns? I want to subscribe but I'm rather attached to my zebra bulls and moss crabs-- I guess I'll find out :lunar2019piginablanket:
Gov Oct 11, 2022 @ 7:33am 
Cheers Shears and Cool mod brother always love me some more Variety in game, you made kenshi a lil bit better
Sirus Oct 10, 2022 @ 10:01pm 
Hello @The Mr Shears

I wanted to let you know that the other Wanderer starts are also a mod test with skeleton and spiders. I tried Wanderer (Sho-Battai) and it was the same as with the other start.

Thanks!
The Mr Shears  [author] Oct 10, 2022 @ 11:25am 
I completely forgot. Thanks so much for pointing it out! should be fixed now
Pers Oct 9, 2022 @ 2:18pm 
@The Mr Shears
Thank you for the update and additional content.

Two points are reported.
The first is that the GameStarts wanderer start is probably still a mod test.
Start has been changed to start with skeletons and spiders.
The second is Rust Spider's drop (death items) setting.
This is an Iron Ore and Iron Plate drop in the image posted on Steam, but the mod settings are Foul Raw Meat and Iron Plates.
Pers Oct 8, 2022 @ 12:22pm 
@The Mr Shears
Thanks for the update on the mod.
Animals confirmed that backpacks can be equipped.
The Mr Shears  [author] Oct 8, 2022 @ 11:45am 
To make all new creatures tamable, you would need the compatibility patch: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2855785821

And for Chit and 801TheDeathChicken, i've just added the new animals to the bag lists, so they should be able to wear them. Thanks for pointing that out!
Gov Oct 8, 2022 @ 7:34am 
I just wanted to know I got the tame beast mod on my save, does this mean the beasts you made that are untameable wont be tamable with that mod?
mad.tlacua Sep 24, 2022 @ 11:53pm 
hace falta la bestia gigante de jaula
801TheDeathChicken Sep 24, 2022 @ 10:11am 
Forbidden Bulls cant equip the bull backpack. Is this intended?
Pers Sep 22, 2022 @ 4:30am 
@The Mr Shears
Thank you for making a great mod.
I have created and submitted a Japanese language mod.
If you have any problems, please contact me.
https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2866157560

And I have a question apart from the communication of the creation and publication of the mod.
The TameBeasties patch mod you created, but the backpacks are not adapted to the animals added in Animal Variety.
Is this a specification?
dupp3rs Sep 19, 2022 @ 9:27am 
Would it be possible for you to include a version without the wool harvesting mechanic?

Also, do you think it would be compatible with Grazing and Animal Fodder mod? Wonder if it would require a special patch in order for this mods' herbivores to be able to eat the food items from the one mentioned above?

Ofc don't feel pressured to do any of those things, it seems like you've already done pretty darn good job creating these critters.

Huerta Sep 8, 2022 @ 12:34am 
The pup is strong, the problem is they move at 4 speed and cannot be carried.
The Mr Shears  [author] Sep 7, 2022 @ 11:46am 
Sure, but I won't lower it too low, because even the pup i'm pretty sure has like 900 HP.
Huerta Sep 6, 2022 @ 1:59pm 
Hi. After acquiring a Runty Leviathan pup and watch it not grow at all, I checked and the lifespam of Leviathans is 400 days... Maybe you would want to lower it so tamed ones can actually be useful.
Huerta Sep 5, 2022 @ 6:02am 
Cool mod, love the new critters.
