End Exotic Pet Starvation

This is a simple work-around that mitigates the trouble caused by some exotic creatures being unable to feed themselves while under the player's control.


Whether it is due to a simple bug, an oversight, or the undeniable fact that making AI creatures subject to the same starvation rules the player operates under would make programming the game really complicated really quickly so it was scrapped (and with it the need for a nutritional value to be added to corpse-eating); corpses lack any real food value to certain normally untamed corpse-eating creatures that can be recruited using mods.

As certain aspects of this "bug" are buried beyond the easy reach of the toolset, I've set all vanilla non-mechanical (that would be weird) animal types to have the "eat food on ground" AI behavior.

Changing this behavior seems to have allowed creatures to utilize food items stored in any player controlled inventory that is reachable, within a certain distance, and is a valid target for automatic orders. (Food storage, Feed troughs, backpacks, ect.)

This mod is meant to be used in conjunction with any recruitment mods that have not already resolved this issue in their own way.

Should be compatible with anything as it doesn't change any other values.

Please do note that if a creature is created entirely by a mod that you've added, thus it doesn't reference the existing base creatures, this will not help. It is simple to recreate though, just open the mod that adds the creature and give that creature the AI behavior tag mentioned earlier.

Also note that I absolutely refuse to take responsibility for the eventual starvation caused after your pet leviathan has eaten literally everything not made of steel or stone. If you can't reliably feed it, why'd you bring it home?


tl;dr my school failed me version:


The creatures will still not replenish hunger from eating corpses, nor does this mod alter any animations. That is not what this mod does. Get this straight!

Creatures that previously only 'ate bodies' will now be able to replenish hunger via food stores, animal feed troughs, backpacks, and food items placed on the ground near them.
