Fun times. Can you replicate that behaviour with only Smart Odyssey and Alpha Animals, for example?

This mod has a very strange interaction when you adjust the spawn rate slider in the settings. If you adjust it mid-game, it rerolls all the animal habitat mutators on the world map.

I can open the settings in-game with the map open and a an animal habitat tile selected, and when I increase the slider from 3x to 4x, my megasloth habitat will change to a Turkey habitat. The icons will update the next time the game is loaded, but the text changes immediately. It does not seem to affect the save file, since reloading it later and lowering the slider will change the mutators back to the original.

I am using a mod to increase the number of animal habitats and POIs on the world map, so it might be related to that.

Here is a before and after changing the slider: https://imgur.com/a/7oPa8aj

Would you mind if I make a patch mod to make some animals swimming? I'll have to use your grafics to make swimming textures. I can afterward remove it once you add that function yourself.

so... any news from the spino, sarg?

This mod is dependent on Harmony, even though it says otherwise.

Many animals from this mod have a very low manhunterOnTameFailChance if compared to vanilla animals, was it a typo or is it intended?

ah cool, well if he approves that option would be nice to keep the glacial plains' "gimmick" as having ice age fauna intact. I imagine you've got a lot to do tho so I'm sure it'd be pretty low priority lol

I can add new things to it, I just have to ask him first

It'd be nice if we got an option to have most of the animals only spawn in the glacial biome added in oddysey to keep the unique prehistoric feel of it for a more vanilla run

And yeah they really should get new behaviors. I dont really think Spino is actively developing this though so its probably gonna stay as is

I love this mod and glad its gotten a 1.6 update but I gotta ask if it's going to get an update to add the new animal behaviors from odyssey or maybe if it already has em.

I found a small bug. None of the animals in this mod have a <soundEating> tag in their XML. This means that they're completely silent when eating. For all vanilla animals, there's XML tags like <soundEating>PredatorLarge_Eat</soundEating>, <soundEating>PredatorSmall_Eat</soundEating>, <soundEating>Herbivore_Eat</soundEating>, etc.

Amazing mod

cool mod btw, are there any known issues with Vanilla Expanded mods? Had some issues in the past with other mods not spawning because of it for some reason.

bro wtf happened in this comment section it looks like I just stumbled upon a war zone

@Spino Unfortunately, I hear that some people are trying to recreate the troll species using recovered DNA, so there may be more incidents. We should probably keep on avoiding bridges.

@uberjammer
Yes, you could say the troll who posted it indeed went extinct, the way he'll never be seen in this comment section ever again

Wait... was there a problem because of a comment that... went extinct...?

Is there a patch for compatibility for this and Animal Equipment? I really want to protect my prehistorical kitties from mean CE raiders

thats ok

So very sorry @Hubertdragon1 I didn't mean you.

@Hubertdragon1
Sorry, I've already deleted those messages so it might be a bit confusing now ;p

how could i know, the only other message besides mine was spinos so i felt like i was the target lol

They aren't talking about you XDD

@spincrus I love how you spread misinformation about me but ok

@spincrus
Thanks for letting me know, I already had him blocked but I'll go ahead and delete his comment now

Don't get upset about that guy, he's just trolling people's mod comment sections.

@Hubertdragon1
Amphicyon is actually a whole genus and I was more so going for specific species of animals in this mod (hence the name change from Entelodont to Daeodon in one of the first updates).
As for Andrewsarchus, it wasn't an amphicyon so if there was to be an amphicyon in Megafauna, it'd have to be a separate animal (and unfortunately, I'm kinda done with adding new content to the mod).

hey may i suggest name change from Andrewsarchus to Amphicyon?

Yeah, I was confused too. I sorted through my mod list using the 50/50 method and ever since removing this mod its fixed the menu problem. I'm not sure what else to make of it

Very unlikely. This mod just adds animals, and has almost zero custom code

I've found out this mod was causing issues with Dubs Mint Menus! It made the all the farming items disappear when i hovered over them!

I like the detail of this mod being compatible with... THAT mod and things are accurate either that or its the other way around? unsure.

hey are there any chance for other animals to recieve voice update, like giving for example dinocrocuta an hyena voice (prehaps from VE) instead of an feline voice?

@Brink I sometimes have this issue with these exact critters. If you zoom out and they appear in red they are hostile. It might be a mod interaction but I get it occassionally with other things on new maps.

Better get hunting!!

You still have something wrong on your side. This mod doesn't add any code, just XML animals

I recently started a new game in an arid shrub land. A gigantophis and titanis spawned but neither appear in the wildlife tab and I can't mark either for hunting or taming. The only other mods that should change animals are a couple "Biomes!" mods, "vanilla animals expanded", and "pathfinding framework"

Hard disagree on that one, chief

Being side by side with vanilla animals expanded and just textures from VE seems kinda out of place because of the outdated look on this one

How do I use the Megaloceros antlers for decoration?

Oh great, Stone Age run, here I come!

@Kerian Halcyon
I vaguely recall adding it just for the higher chance of bonding with colonists. These animals were initially supposed to be very rare and so once you've managed to tame one, I wanted it to feel special in your base :)

Right, I love this mod. It and Dinosauria kind of fulfills my child-like desires to have a menagerie of huge prehistoric monsters growing on my ranch, but I've got to ask...why do all the huge critters have a nuzzle interval?

I mean I'm not complaining, not in the slightest, but I find it more than a little morbidly amusing that someone can get nuzzled by a millipede the length of a small bus or a grizzly-sized otter on steroids every three days.

You know what would be great? If someone made an audio overhaul for this since stuff like dinocrouta makes cougar noises

Hey, I think the commonality sldier is broken or its a conflict with VAE. It has been over a quadrum in the tundra and I have never seen any of the mod animals. I never had this issue before 1.5.

megafauna + anomaly is chef kiss

Thank you Sarg!!

Then you don't have the latest version

Heyo just wanted to say that I also installed it (and tried reinstalling it, etc) and it still says it's for 1.4 and incompatible with 1.5.

Once again, say thanks to Sarg for the 1.5 update, guys

You'll have to force Steam to update it if it refuses!
