My mistake; thanks Keeper!

Already out, check the update link. Was originally set to the unstable build. Now its set for the B19 by default.

0.19 when?

wOot woot. Thanks for your hard work!

Update is out on a seperate mod so those still on B18 won't have their games broken. Let me know if you can see it or not. Also @Ralathar44 I totally agree with you, this should be an option in the vanilla game.

@Keeper
We believe in you!

Thanks for your diligence, it's much appreciated. I really wish they would make this a baseline option in game you could toggle on or off.

Having a quick look at the code I've notice B19 has made some changes that won't allow for a simple edit on the "About" file. So I'm planning on looking at the code this weekend and updating it B19.

Honestly, you wouldn't believe how much of a difference this mod makes for tribal playthroughs. Mod Author, your work is appreciated, please update to B19! Thanks.

I love my guys to be able to melee hunt, will keep an eye on you updating this to A19. Thank you for taking the time if you do <3.

B19 was pushed out to everyone today as the current version, love your mod, will you be updating it?

Build 19?

In regards to bugs mentioned in earlier comments, this was originally coded for vanilla rimworld. Any bugs you encounter are likely from other mods you are using. Check your othermods that alter the hunting feature. I'm simply an updater and not the original creator. Also note that Combat Extended has this feature as well. I do not recommend having both installed. This or CE.

For those who have missed my earlier comment. This works with A16, A17 and B18. The only thing that needs updating was the version number as Rimworld is no longer doing any dramatic code changes. This is now officially updated to B18.

Mah boi bring it to 18 if you can!

Bring it to 18! We need it, call out if you need help :D

I was browsing the Hardcore SK Combat Extended and it looks like Combat Extended has this option, look for it in mod options.

i am playing on b18 and my person got frozen in a melee fight mode and couldn't do any other actions, couldn't even drop gear

Happy to hear this still works on B18, thanks all the slender non failures who tested it.

youre all fat idiots

You are the idiot, we want an update because we have enough errors like that.

To the idiots commenting above me: It works fine.

Anybody found an a18 replacement?

This mod works fine on B18. I've been running it for several days without issue.

a18 plz

Please could you seperate this mod for A17 and A18, I don't want screw up my save file... please

This mod doesnt seem to work when running with Hardcore Sk, even with on bottom(or on top) of the load order, my colonists simply refuse to hunt with their melee weapons.Any way to fix this?

Just a suggestion: a boar spear, to help you keep your distance from those animals that keep trying to kill you until they finally die.
(It's a 2.5-meter spear with a crossbar about eight decimeters behind the head, so the boar or whatever cannot work its way up the spear to the person who speared him!)

please update your github with a17 aswell thx

plz make a17 for forum.....

Yes!!! Needed this so bad. Please make sure it's compatible with the latest version! <3

Can you please add the link for the manual download of the A17 version?

Great mod, glad to see it back! Is there a chance you make it compatible with hunting Restriction mod?

Hooray for stabby mans

I've been in need of this mod. Many thanks!

If you still want to use this for A16, edit the about.xml in the mod file to have <targetVersion>0.16.1393</targetVersion> .

Updated to A17

Is this ever getting an A17 update?

does this work with A17

This Mod does not work with Combat Realism.

this doesnt seem to work for me. i have them set to hunt. i have melle weapons equiped. but they will not hunt targets

It should as you're using a melee weapon in combat.

Does melee hunting increase melee skill? And if so, is it comparable to the shooting xp gained when hunting? Thanks for the mod :)

Passive animals try to avoid you initially however they can fight back depending on what type of animal it is, but this is due to the core game mechanics rather than this mod.

'Not enough ratings"!?
Why have we not been uprating this mod?

!

Do passive animals fight back in melee combat or do they just continue to accept their fate?

Finaly I can punch squirrels!

@ mheido, when you say "enemy", are you referring to raiders ? If so there's a mode on each colonist that can determine if they flee/fight/do nothing when hostiles are nearby and this mod focuses on the hunting of animals.

can you increase the range of an auto meele combat with an enemy instead of manually telling my colonist to attack
