Making animal spawn in biomes

blohod · August 07, 2017, 04:40:54 AM

I am trying to make my animal spawn naturally in the wild, however when I start the game there are a lot of errors in the log. Does anyone know how I can make my animal spawn naturally? Additionally I would like traders to use my animal as an option for a pack animal, anyone know how to do that?

I managed to make animals spawn, for people finding this thread here is the fix.

The following should be in <race>

Code Select


            <wildBiomes>
                <AridShrubland>0.4</AridShrubland>
		<Desert>0.1</Desert>
		<BorealForest>0.5</BorealForest>
		<Tundra>0.3</Tundra>
		<TemperateForest>0.5</TemperateForest>
		<TropicalRainforest>0.1</TropicalRainforest>
            </wildBiomes>

Also, I think I need to patch the biomes to make traders use them, let me know if I am wrong.

ok, I need help to make traders use my donkey as a pack animal, colonists can use it when forming caravans but no trader caravans use donkeys.

So far I have added donkeys to allowed pack animals in all the biomes it spawns, shown below, but traders still only seem to use muffalo and dromedaries.

Code Select


<Patch>
	<Operation Class="PatchOperationAdd">
		  <xpath>*/BiomeDef[defName="AridShrubland"]/allowedPackAnimals</xpath>
		  <value>
			<li>Donkey</li>
		  </value>
	</Operation>
	
	<Operation Class="PatchOperationAdd">
		  <xpath>*/BiomeDef[defName="Desert"]/allowedPackAnimals</xpath>
		  <value>
			<li>Donkey</li>
		  </value>
	</Operation>
	
	<Operation Class="PatchOperationAdd">
		  <xpath>*/BiomeDef[defName="BorealForest"]/allowedPackAnimals</xpath>
		  <value>
			<li>Donkey</li>
		  </value>
	</Operation>
	
	<Operation Class="PatchOperationAdd">
		  <xpath>*/BiomeDef[defName="Tundra"]/allowedPackAnimals</xpath>
		  <value>
			<li>Donkey</li>
		  </value>
	</Operation>
	
	<Operation Class="PatchOperationAdd">
		  <xpath>*/BiomeDef[defName="TemperateForest"]/allowedPackAnimals</xpath>
		  <value>
			<li>Donkey</li>
		  </value>
	</Operation>
	
	<Operation Class="PatchOperationAdd">
		  <xpath>*/BiomeDef[defName="TropicalRainforest"]/allowedPackAnimals</xpath>
		  <value>
			<li>Donkey</li>
		  </value>
	</Operation>
</Patch>

You also have to add them in FactionDefs as well. There is a tag for specifying what animals the faction will use for caravans.
It's looking like that

Code Select

<carriers>
          <Muffalo>1</Muffalo>
          <Dromedary>1</Dromedary>
</carriers>

Thanks

I was thinking it would be something like that and I looked in traderDefs, I didn't think to look at the factions.
