a giant white gorillo, or giant beak thing could be good

uh spoopy i hate to tell you but
they gain skill just like you
its just
they get strength and toughness naturally
they get martial arts exp for biting and it scales their dmg

the stats of animals are effected by their age, and go up at a linear rate until they hit a pre-determined stopping point, with a little bit of random +/- thrown in for effect. If things haven't been altered as far as the adulthood age, the wolf will hit max stats by day 40 or 45. as is the drawback to animals, they don't get experience from doing things, it's all tied to how long they've been alive

Yes still a pup. Is that what it is?

@Playcator

Is he still a pup?

Actually clarification, they increase but they aren't reflected on the status page. What would cause this?

His skills don't seem to actually increase?

Easily my favourite game start. Thanks so much for this

@Fallout Games
Boneyard Wolf grows(scales) depending on the age(in-game days), so I didn't have to do a lot. What you're suggesting would require - as far as I can tell - some 3D model editing.

how did you made it so the dog can get that big? i want to know so i can make a dog with small leg and and a long body

i dont get why comments keep asking about whether its a mountain dog or a regular dog...it says boneyard wolf...those are also in the game and im assuming it has either those stats or similar stats

@Ἷcє_Ɲσтє This is the one used in this mod: https://kenshi.fandom.com/wiki/Boneyard_Wolf

@EvilNecroid Hmm ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°). The idea is neat, I must admit.

Is it a mountain dog or just a normal bone dog.

now just imagine Guy with a Leviathan :p

This mod is just what i looking for. Thanks !

밥을 어떻게 줍니까? 시체 먹는 모드는 깔았는데 얘가 배고픈 상태인데도 땅에 떨어진 악취 나는 생고기와 사람을 먹지 생고기는 못먹네요 인벤토리에 먹이를 넣어줘도 안먹고.. 굶어죽기 직전입니다

@A Sassy Dragon
The mod was made using "Forgotten Construction Set" that comes with the game, so yes - regular game editor.

how are you making the dog? is it just in the regular game editor? because i want to make a copy and alter it a little

My dog died doing what it does best: Got stuck on flat ground and starved to death.

@PATAPATAPATAPON Hey. Sorry for the late reply but I had a bit on my mind lately. At this point I guess I'd have to create a new alternative mod. Changing stats of the current, ie. buffing up the dogo, might annoy some of the current subscribers.

Could you change its health and damage?

Make it stronger than other dogs

Thanks Guys for your replies... using Animal Backpacks now ;)

It's fun, but the furry ba­stard gets stuck so often.

It takes 45 days for a wolf to reach adult age.

How long does it take for the pub to grow?

A Sassy Dragon Oh, that solves the problem then. Nice, thanks!

Link to Animal Backpacks mod that works with this starter pet, without modifying files, as well as several other animals https://psteamcommunity.yuanyoumao.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1528043574

Included animals:
Black Gorillos, Bonedogs, Crabs, Goats, Gorillos, Gutters ( aka Beak Things ), Land Bats, River Raptors, Robot Spiders ( Guard and Worker Types ), Spiders ( not small ones ), Skimmers, Swamp Raptors, Swamp Turtles, Boneyard Wolf, Crimper

Not that I know of, sorry.

can I somehow spawn the pup in an existing game? :)

@Lucien Thank you! As for your question, sadly it won't work. Author of the mod "Dog Backpack" didn't include Boneyard Wolf in the list of compatibile races - https://i.imgur.com/f5rnXg2.png . It's a simple change to add it really, but I don't feel at the liberty to publish the changed version. I've asked the author to implement it. We'll see if he agrees.

Here's the edited version: https://i.imgur.com/J2OkARl.png and the proof that it works when changed: https://i.imgur.com/NCw1Qap.jpg

@Lucien : I'm using the Neko's Mod Merger pack, but, it has Neko's "Animal Backpacks" mod in it, and that has a trader style pack for the wolf here, lets you stack items up to 5 and is huge, like 20x20 or something like that, at least it looks like it is.

Hi Xaveras, great mod, really enjoying it.

Do you know if the Wolf is able to wear the backpack from Bspawns Dog Backpack mod?
https://psteamcommunity.yuanyoumao.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=853705461
or do the mods need to be merged?

@A Sassy Dragon You have better chances of finding the materials to build a stone refinery and mine than finding building materials. I've been there, man.

aw yiss

@A Sassy Dragon. This guide helped me a lot just recently https://www.reddit.com/r/Kenshi/comments/b319yj/guide_to_getting_to_endgame_from_scratch/

@Xaveras. Love the mod by the way mate :)

I tried going to stoat a few times, but kept dying, r getting made a slave while missing a leg, and my pup would already be left behind to die, and i'm not leaving Tiny to die.

Well, I certainly like the start. I think i just got some bad luck, not sure. Because no matter how many times i restarted after a failed attempt at picking over a battlefield, I had yet to find enough Building materials to make a small shack. But I think that's just the RNG gods hating me.

But, it's been alot of fun, I've lived off food from partys that have killed passive animals and a few skimmers, so i'm not starving, and I'm reasonably close to The Worlds End now, but i'm hanging out in a Holy Order city at the base of a mountain [looks at map] I'm in Okran's Fist. Sadly the only place I can go into is the general store, and there's no houses for sale here.

@A Sassy Dragon As Darkphaze already mentioned, this game start might be a bit tough for someone not well acquainted with Kenshi. You start without money, without weapon and - if that wasn't enough - you're in the middle of nowhere. However, as the time goes - after you've got your butt kicked certain amount of times - you might start appreciating such tough beginnings. It feels more rewarding after you finally overcome the odds.
Anyway, the nearest city is not as far as you think. Just head South-East from Bast and you'll get there. If you're not afraid of "spoilers" you can check out this map: https://i.imgur.com/Ez5DAbU.jpg

@Isaac Hipkiss Thank you very much! Have fun.

Hey Sassy Dragon. If i may offer my 5c worth. pick a start that is easy to begin with until you get the hang of the game. My personal favs are the stupidly hard starts but they slaughtered me on my first try. once i replayed for a bit with an easier game and learned how to play i then went back to those harder starts and am now gearing up to take out the holy nation. Hope this helps :)

So I love having the boneyard dog. but, maybe there was a way to start closer to a city instead of a destroyed one. I only just got kenshi but love it, just have yet to be able to start a base or even find an inhabbited city yet.

I love this, underrated!
