For those encountering the 'cannot recruit crocuta doggo', make sure it is from a squad and not a lone one as the dialog package required to tame them is not incorporated for lone crocutas

dog go boop

How the heck can you one on one a hyena. They get 3 hits in before you can even get off one, and they stagger so often that you don't get to use that hit, staggered so can't even block unless you got a 90s character.

@Peachwolf
Can you patch Orion recruit-able patch pls? I just caught two almost lost 2 team members. xD

so..... did you MEAN for the orion to do near 160 a hit? that is quite broken for both sides, if im under equipped i can get squad wipped by one dog not only that but if i get one which i do, they do 160 damage .-. im just walking down the road and its killing high armor enemies with ease... this is cheap....... if anything... and just unfun to be against? i guess.

Having the same issue as Cider Bizet

Really liked this mod but it's now causing my game to constantly crash. I've been trying to find out which mod has been giving me CTD but I've narrowed it down to this one.

Found a Orion Crocuta dying in Skinner's Roam. Tried to recruit but the dialogue won't trigger. I'm I missing something?

Hey Serpy, I'm working on a large overhaul mod and I've found that your Crocuta provide a needed boost to variety in wildlife. I've changed some of the frequencies to make them a bit more rare in some places, and appear in other places they didnt previously, but overall I feel there's a nice balance now. I'd like to continue using this with your blessing. I plan to do a roll out to private, contributor beta by the end of the year, and an open beta after that. All contributions are credited.

Great mod, love variety in Kenshi fauna.

Is there any way to get puppies of these? I know you can tame the adults, but it feels less satisfying to just get something that's strong from the start. I like the challenge of raising them from fragile babies!

For everyone coming here looking for an answer about the Orion Crocuta being unrecruitable:

I looked in the FCS, and the "Lone Orion" squad is missing the TAME_HYENA dialogue package. Once I added that to it, I was able to talk to the one I had in a cage no problem.

The other Orion squads all have it.

I can make a patch and release it if Serpy has stopped development on this mod.

How do I stop your dogs getting stuck on every single little thing. They seem to lack the intelligence to go around small tree's.

I'm using your mod.
I've translated the patch for myself.
If there is any problem, please contact me so I can delete it.

I've created a SubMod to GenMod and find a bug.

The Boneyard Wolf hair has been edited in your mod, but is not linked to the new animals, although I corrected it in the submod, you may find time to fix your mod.

I manage to capture a Orion Crocuta but I can't talk to it after putting it in a prisioner cage. Are just the hyenas recruitable?

you should make the rebel farmers spawn with a younger dire hyena, their patrols can beat even skimmer packs thanks to the dog and its ridiculous damage.

This is incredible, can't wait to see what's instore!

Orion Crocruta wont talk on animal pole, prisoner cage, old cage or prisoner pole. i dont know if im missing something or if its broken. anyone know?

My hyenas won't eat corpses they starve. ;_;

Hello, same for me, i can't talk to the dogs of this mod whe they are in cage. But i can tame the other dogs.

I was able to KO an Orion and put it in a cage but I'm not getting an option to talk to it at all. I reloaded and restarted the game but still no talk to option.

this is just another bonedog reskin

1000 x thanks from a true dog lover :)

Would be neat to see more animal mods like yours

Compatible with Genesis?

really pretty models

@Grabbles, can I get a link?

@Snowy, there is actually a guy working on a mod like that on reddit

@Serpy, Hey, love the mod, I feel the bags are alittle overpowered and I can't just use the snack bags from better feeding, but that aside I love this. Aside from that however I had a random, terribly silly idea along the lines of the goat man mod, would it be at all possible to create a race with the Hyena heads, effectively creating Gnolls in Kenshi similar to the Goatman mod.

why are they EVERYWHERE? I literally cant look away or my entire group is wiped. Dont understand why they are literally everywhere. Tone down spawns please.

If you are going to make more wildlife+ mods, I would LOVE to see subspecies of beak things.

So what cafe do we put these things into for the taming?

@E., not a conflict, but more of a limit of the game engine. I believe that each biome or area has a soft limit on how many nests can actually spawn within it, this default value is altered I think when you mess with the nest slider on game start/import? So Vain will have a default value and the game is trying to pick from base game + mod nest spawns and the foulhounds may have been pushed out just by luck of the draw. Not 100% accurate because I still don't know too much about the inner workings but this is my theory.

Question do you know if your mod conflicts with the Foulhounds mod? All I can find are dens of your creatures when I am looking for their dens. They spawn in Vain.

I would reccomend removing the dogs from the ashlands for immersion purposes. Its supposed ot be a dead zone where nothing organic can survive, its a bit... immersion breaking to say the least when you see a random dog in the middle of an unsurvivable wasteland with no food or water...

@redink yes we do

this mod work with Dog armor ???

Aw yeah these hyenas look totally awesome. Well done! And even a custom start to quickly enjoy them, brilliant.

as if we needed more stuff that eats you :))))

@Grabbles ooooh thanks for the info ill try looking for em

@ZinogreTW these dogs are a different race, mod author included his own versions

"Hyenas/crocuta can also wear backpacks! You'll find these backpacks in places you regularly find them. Hyena backpacks are smaller than crocuta ones, and carry less weight."

hey i have backpacks from Tame Beasties mod but for some reason they cant equip it

At last it's out :D

Awesome, sounds good :D

Yeah, the orion crocuta spawn is an error. I think what happened is when I was getting used to the FCS I accidently over-rid the original dire hyena race with the orion crocuta and just completely forgot that was now assigned to rebel farmers because they are meant to be in Skinner's roam only.

I have that fixed and I have also integrated tame beasts dialogue into this mod too, so you don't need an external patch at all to tame these guys. I'll upload it soon!

looks cute

NIce work

One thing I will say though, after playing with it for a bit. Having the crocuta as Rebel Farmer spawns is a little annoying, since they spawn way too often and considering rebel farmers are supposed to be an early-mid game enemy, this completely throws them out of balance. I think it'd be better if the Crocuta were just singular wild spawn enemies.

Yeah, a tame beasties or a recruit prisoners mod patch would be great :D like hyena pokemon
