thanks to the comments for giving me exactly what I was coming here to find out :)

There definitely is. I've also learned a lot of C# and more about the trader system so I may possible re-work this mod to be a bit more robust and controllable. As usual, time is the only commodity; it can't be bought, only spent - and there never seems to be enough of it.

Sorry for the delay. I think there is an option in the Alpha Animals mod settings to toggle individual animals.

how i disable the wayward mobile assembler?

Thanks, that's exactly the kind of info I needed.

Original big-mouthed bug reporter here. The right thing to do is to add a soft incompatibility to AA stating that to run these together one should disable the wayward mobile assembler.

I'm aware, but I can't duplicate the issue, I run them both together with no problems despite the warning. When I get a chance I'll talk with Sarg about it and try to get it cleared up.

Heads up, Alpha Animals is complaining that this & that are now incompatible.

Thanks for making the original mod, and being ok with me updating it!

Haha yeah. Thanks for updating the mod!

in early versions of the game one popular strat for taming thrumbos was waiting for them to fall asleep then walling them in with a door so they couldn't wander off or get injured.

Alas. And unlike DF, RimWorld animals cannot give birth to their own support troops in the middle of battle. One of the animal modders needs to get on that deficiency.

I expect it was just a DF reference, but you'd have to ask him. :)

What did Horologium mean by "cages"? This is not Dwarf Fortress where you need to catch an animal in a trap to tame them, Rimworld taming is just walking up to an animal with food and hoping it doesn't rip you to death.

I like to Imagine the orbital traders just getting an animal sold, Strapping a flak vest to them, saying "Off You go!" and just FIRING them out of a cannon into the atmosphere.
