More Birds - Doves (now with working messenger pigeons)

Beskrivning
FROM THE 'MORE BIRDS' SERIES OF MODS

NOW WITH FUNCTIONAL MESSENGER PIGEONS
Messenger pigeons can carry messages to distant factions, providing a reliable alternative to caravans or comms consoles. This is a useful backup for requesting military aid during solar flares and is perfect for themed tribal or medieval playthroughs.

Also includes a new species, the selectively-bred Messenger Pigeon.

Must have Odyssey DLC to utilize the messenger pigeon function.
Check out the video in the thumbnails section for more info!



Bring doves to your colony as pets and prey!
Domesticated and wild doves and pigeons offer a low-maintenance food source or peaceful pets for your colony. These calm birds with gentle cooing are a tranquil presence in aviaries or indoors. While they breed quickly and can be messy, their utility and calming nature make them a valuable addition to any settlement. Some wilder species will wander off if not properly penned.


Aren't these just pigeons?
Doves and pigeons are biologically the same, both part of the
Columbidae family. The names are linguistic, with "dove" often referring to smaller birds and "pigeon" to larger ones. They are highly adaptable birds found in most biomes, including urban areas. Their affectionate nature can boost colonist moods.

Credits
The original inspiration for this mod was Kestrel's wonderful BIRD UP mods. Those mods were picked up by others, consolidated and currently handled by Tyrannidae - check it out here. Thanks much to Tyrannidae for helping me puzzle out some problems as I make these mods!

The messenger ability is C# code by Lee, reach out to him on the Rimworld Mod Market discord for your coding needs!

A special nod to my Green Cheek Conure, Mouse, for making me want to include him in the game and sparking this whole mod-making adventure. RIP buddy, I miss you so much.


Mod Notes
Includes support for popular biome mods. Please contact me if you would like me to add yours.

Should be compatible with pretty much anything (let me know any issues so I can do my best to fix).

NOT CE COMPATIBLE. I hate writing code but I asked on the CE Discord for them to write a patch. I'll update this if it happens.

Some species are fully domesticated and can be zone limited and trained to follow; Some species are still fully wild and must be penned, and have no trainability but can be raised for resources.

I highly recommend something like Camera+ to zoom in on and enjoy the birbs.

Thank you so much I love them! Especially the messanger pigeons. Is there any way I can convince you to add pink-necked green pigeons (Treron vernans)? :sadcattiva:

@John you have an outside mod conflict or need to verify game files. The ability is from an ability hook called "PigeonFly" that is specifically written into the animal's defs. If muffalo are using it, it's either a major game error (since nothing vanilla would ever call that ability without there being something majorly broken) or somehow their def got patched to add that ability (in which case that's outside influence, not my mod).

Loaded this mod up, it seems like muffalo can be trained in sending messages now? Probably not the intended behavior

Since I have no idea how to do configs or whatever kind of code magic would make that work, no that won't be happening.

Nope. Any chance you can add a config that lets you add more birds that can be trained to be messengers?

Can I send a raven (or crow. I don't think Oddesy added ravens.)?

Working messenger pigeons - check em out. Let me know if you have any issues. I had an error pop during testing when sending a 2nd pigeon out while a 1st was still on a delivery but could never duplicate it to try and get it handled. Let me know if you have any issues.

I bought a book about pigeons called "A pocket guide to pigeon watching". It arrived today. If you like pigeons, I recommend this book.
And now, I recommend this mod.
