1.4 update: https://psteamcommunity.yuanyoumao.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3171141566

Will this be updated to 1.4?

FYI, the trainability for some creatures may be missing - to fix this, open the XML in the Defs folder and add the trainability tag on anything that's missing (you can use the XML in Core as a guide). There's also one tag marked Simple that should be None for 1.3.

Love this mod, but the problem is I can't train them...
I have tamed a bear, and it can't train him at anything unlike the normal bear

Since this mod is reported working in 1.3 I've added it to the No Version Warning-mod

Hope it helps!

@quest wars; so do they like plug in, or what? :)

do androids dream of electric sheep?

This appears to be working with 1.3, but needs a 1.3 tag so the game knows this and people can find it when filtering mods for current game version.

not as far as i can tell some of the you can't even tame last time i checked (pretty sure that's not intended) including the synthetic megasloth

are animals able to reproduce?

i dont think so

Out of curiosity does this have any android tiers or androids mod compatibility? Like for example android tiers implants/upgrades able to be installed, immune to organic diseases, able to live off energy even without food, can't be hunted and eaten by organic creatures, or act like robots similar to android tiers robotic animals?

just saying

megasloths from this mod are still untameable

@jonny wizard The perfect nerd joke.

for those that dream of electric sheep

how to increase spawnrate?

12

something i've noticed is for some reason i can't tame the megasloths from this mod

can i still ranch these for food?

Thanks for the advice everyone.

turn off development mode

@Uncle Nanny:
This is an incompatibility with Pack Animal Mods, like More Vanilla Overhaul or More Pack Animals.

From my understanding:
Any mod adding pack-animals must add textures to show them with item bags.
Changing Vanilla animal defs (like the muffalo) to become pack-animals changes all modded animals to become pack-animals as well (like muffalo->synthetic muffalo).
But those animals were not intended to become pack-animals, and therefore lack the texture file.

You can see this while using Rimpedia, as it tries to load the texture during startup, which fails.

probably conflict because i use this mod and i don't have that

Keep getting this error/ Don't know if it's a mod conflict or something wrong with this mod itself. Hope it helps:
Failed to find any textures at Animal/SyntheticMuffalo/SyntheticMuffaloPack while constructing Multi(initPath=Animal/SyntheticMuffalo/SyntheticMuffaloPack, color=RGBA(1.000, 1.000, 1.000, 1.000), colorTwo=RGBA(1.000, 1.000, 1.000, 1.000))

in the file ^^

is the an option to manually increase the spawn rate for a robot themed run?

spawnrate decrease by 50%

Love this mod too! Gives a fun alternative way of getting resources but yeah i think they spawn a little too often. Considering they give quite usefull resources they should be rarer

still too many synthetics ? i were thinking to set the spawnrate to 15% (it's 20% now). Would be helpful if i would get a little feedback about the spawn and the loot then i balance it better.

I'm seeing predators hunting and consuming the synthetic animals in my games. Since they're nonorganic and drop inedible items on butchering, is there a line of code you, O great mod creator, that would disable the hunting or consumption of them by wild animals?

Otherwise, I'm really enjoying the weird blue creatures. It makes my tribal run a lot easier since steel is hard to come by, and I love the fucked-up ecosystem in suggests. I do ~feel~ like the synthetic animals spawn a little too frequently, but that might be a factor of my map sizes and that they stand out on the wildlife tab.

same way you butcher other animals.
because you get resources like steel, components, plasteel and synthread from them and that give a new option because vanilla you don't get those resources from them.

how do i get my pawns to butcher them? wdym give the option to farm animals, where is that at?

other mods don't effect this mod. Emp don't stun them but it's a good point. Maybe i integrate it.

Are they stunned by EMP weapons?

Do these still work with like bionic prosthetics?

what do you mean with option? it's possbile you can manipulate the xml data if you want.

Good idea, is there an option to reduce spawn rate, disable breeding etc ?

That Muffalo looks like it was sent from the future to terminate John Connor

Rated up for respecting copyright :P

I'm sure if you contact those mod authors, most of them will let you redistribute modified versions of their textures.

Giddy-Up! shouldn't need a patch, it automatically ropes in modded animals.

if you mean to make synthetic animals from the modded animals. I don't have the right to manipulate the sprites (pictures) of the mod animals and bring them into my mod.

Any chance for patches for the following mods?
Giddy-up!
What the Hack
Alpha Animals
Megafauna
Monster Hunter RimWorld
AnimalCollabProj/Lite
Vanilla Animals Expanded

If not, at least I finally have a mod that helps me make my game more like Horizon Zero Dawn lol!

I don't even know what to say. This is freaking amazing. Tyvm

yes you can't ^^

So you cant breed them i assume that means?

spawnrate set down to 25%. There is no such a tag like weight or something they should be like in vanilla.
There are no male or female. Most of them you can taim like in vanilla.

Can they breed? or can you craft them somehow? I want to make a fox army and this seems perfect.

ok thank you i will look for it. This mod is pretty big and it's difficult to pay attention on everything.

hey, nice idea, but the spawnrate is maybe a bit too high, and bigger problem, even if it's a bit logic, some of those creatures are way too heavy to be carried by colonists or pets, i just killed a rhino and his weight is around 180 kg.
