If you know C++ (and you should), then c# is about 4 hours to learn the changes in syntax and limitations.

no worries. think I'm going to need the luck!

Hey, sorry for not getting back sooner. Glad I put the files in there -- everything's gone from my computer now, sadly. Good luck!

just noticed it was in the mod folder :)

Unfortunately Gophers (or only1aster as his comments below) port to space engineers is now gone but I would like to recreate it. does your offer of blender files for your animals still stand?

i would like to see this mod for 0.7

oh well, thanks for the relpy

No, sadly, that's all gone.

I don't suppose you still have the tool for creating the behavior files? SE still used this logic but lacks any tools to modify it.

In theory maybe — the sizes would probably be transferable. But I’ve forgotten about 80% of what I learned in making the cow & sheep. And I can’t load ME up well on my computer anymore since 0.7. So I’m sadly out of the animal-making business for now :(

@STORI3D PAST Productions: Would you be able to make a horse mwm model with the textures and have it use the Deer animations?

I think this will work very nicely in the Space Animals mod.

Not at all, go for it! If you get them working I’d appreciate a nod in the description, that’s all

Do you mind if I port your Cow and Sheep to SE?

This was an awsome mod, will it be upgraded to .07?

storied are these mods not returning it say "permanently broken" So am I to assumed the cows and sheep are not returning?

Are you going to update this mod for the 0.7 update?

It frolicked :) Maybe a bit unrealistic. But when I saw that it did that, I loved it too much to delete it out of the code.

WTF happened on 9th second?

Hah! Wait, it won’t let you drink it? It should... I’ll check on that. I *do* have plans to add uses for milk, significant uses, but I’m holding off until the game’s next big update. Sounds like it’s going to be a big deal, so I want to see how it shakes out.

OK so I have my stockpile of raw milk. Now what do I do with it, for some reason it won't let me consume the milk.. and there is no butter churn anywhere. just askin. lol

All actual animated animals in the game unfortunately despawn after a while, it’s one of the frustrations of the game’s AI right now. It’s hard-coded into the game and not changesble, sadly! The chicken coops don’t have this issue because they’re not actually “animals”. We’re looking at some way to interact with cows & sheep better. Like leading them with food, etc. Don’t know if we’ll succeed but we’re looking at it!

I have a problem with my cows and sheep despawning. Could you make them more like the chicken coop (blocks) to prevent this?

Perhaps make a lasso that does damage to the cows/sheep ONLY and then you can pickup their body as an item. From their an animated block (like AI defenders) could work.

If you can't add ropes, can you make them easier to push?

thats a shame. ok thanks for teling me!

No. Animals and blocks are apparently so different that you can’t tell a rope to attach the two. I’m not a scripter so I don’t know the details. But two of the brightest modder-scripters I know habe both said that there’s no way to do it right now. Would be great if that changes!

couldent you just have the scriptthat alows ropes to attach to pullys?

Not yet. Much smarter folks than I have tried to figure how to hook animated animals/bots up to wagons or other blocks and say it can’t be done with the current code. Hopefully in the future!

if you make horses, could you make it so that we could use them on wagons and such?

Stordi3D, glad you're working on this, you've very creative ideas and I do not mind at all being patient to see what you come up with. It'd be perfectly acceptable to have placeable cows and horses and such, as static items (like we have with the people in tavern mod), just to make our towns look a little more alive <3

Hey Ed. I’d of course love to be able to raise and breed animals but the AI code doesn’t support it yet. Hopefully soon! And lots of breeds of cows have horns on both genders!

Love this idea, can't wait to see where it goes! If I may propose a suggestion, perhaps add male/female (bulls/cows), with reproduction when the two are penned close enough together. This would allow for farming them for hide/meat.

As a side note, why do the cows have horns? What kind of milk are we drinking?
(Im not sure that's milk, seems thick) lmao
Anyways keep up the great work, you are one of my favorite modders for this game.

Thanks buddy! I'll be using these as soon as I get home!

Hi X, yes both mods are compatible with each other. You can use one, the other, or both. Deer will still spawn. If you have both cows & sheep added, you get on average about 1/3 cows, 1/3 sheep, and 1/3 deer. Enjoy!

Can we use both animal mods together? Do deer still spawn as well? This and the sheep mod would be great in my game :D

Hi, so I deleted and then reinstalled the mod and I am now getting milk that I can put into my inventory from the F que. Sownloaded the sheep mod and that works great but wthe squelch before it bas. Still have not seen deer or barbarians. Since the cows have horns can we also get horns to make the mugs for mead? Hard to do this when I see no deer. Another ideas is keeping the sheep and cows around settlements and then the deer can populate elsewhere. Thanks again for the help and the fantastic mods.

Human-style animations are soooo much harder, because we're a lot more aware of janky movements in people. My next big hope is to find a way to use the barbarian attacking AI to create a working wolf, or wild boar. But that's a longshot.

Since you're on the AI kick, why not make some neat enemy AI using barbarians?

Hi flo_zahn. No the game doesn’t support the same AI so there is no simple way to make ME wolves (or any predators) act like SE wolves.

can you take the wolfs from space engineeres and put them to medieval engineeres?

acr -- if you want to try deleting the mod from your hard drive, so Steam will re-download it, you find the mod wherever your "steamapps" file is located (mine is at C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps), then you go to the folder steamapps\workshop\content\333950\1566218318 and delete the 1566218318 folder.

Hi acr. Thanks for the details. You’re having troubles that I can’t reproduce & I can’t find anyone else with the same issues —I know that’s frustrating. I wonder if there may be a mod conflict with another mod, or if maybe the mod downloaded incorrectly from Steam. One thing to try is deleting the mod on your computer so the game is forced to redownload it. I’ll try to get a file-folder link to you to test it out. What other mods are you running?

Oh never mind, I see people posting the same requests for ages...

Very interesting contribution to the ME universe, as usual. I think the logical next step is to catch cows, "domesticate" them and put them into a coral or barn. Propose to catch them by attaching a rope on their horns or around neck and "pull" them where you want to keep them. Where hopefully they do not despawn.

Hi, thanks for the response, just to help clearify the issue, I go to the cow and hit f, the que with my inventory opens, there is lots of room in the inventory, I put in the goods and it is taking around 8+ minutes to make the 4 milks and they show up in the 4 slots in the que, but I annot get the milk out of the que and if I close the que I loose the milk. I still have not seen other animals or barbarians, I am playing singular in creative. All new items have glitches so I understand, and I love the new critters,

Hi acr. That's weird that the milk got stuck for you. The only reasons I could think are a vanilla bug, or maybe your personal inventory was full? When I test it, the milk always goes into my inventory fine. I'll look some more. Also, ideally the cow would stop moving while you are milking it, but the AI to do that isn't in the game yet. I'll look at making more "elk-like" deer, that would be fun. All a matter of getting a nice mix of animals in the game with the limitations!

Hi again, thanks for the response. I got the cow to make milk and it seemed to take forever, once I had the milk in the F que I could not get the milk out of the que and into my inventory. No matter what I tried nothing worked. I ended up loosing the milk when I had to click out of the que. Why couldn't the milk automatically go into the personal inventory? Is the cow still supposed to run around when it is being milked? Still havent seenany deer or barbarians since installing. Can you change the deer to elk with larger horn racks? Thanks and look forward to seeing what you come up with next.

I mean, if it were possible to make them breed, I would love to do it! Maybe when the vanilla game's AI improves, we'll have more options. Fingers crossed.

interesting, you should make them breed, following isnt really necessary, since you could always just trap them or chase them into a cage. Good work though! Nice to see a mod that adds animals!
