Title: Pets
Post by: CombatleaderZ on October 10, 2014, 08:53:52 AM
If we had some kind of alien animal you could train, like dogs, would be under youre command.  Like giant insects, or a 1 eyed grizzely bear.  If someone has already suggested pets, sorry, but im new to these forums.  ;D

I've got a quadcopter and a roomba but they act like normal colonists, I'm waiting for the pawn code to get a little easier to work with (using non humanoids)...if it even does...before releasing it.

Oh? you want robots to work for you? You need the MAI mod :) it adds in a machine to create robot drone things.

Makes sense. Pets (like dogs or cats) would increase morale. Pets have a soothing effect on psyche.

But the death of a pet would hit the colonist hard too.

Furthermore, cats could chase away rodents (like boomrats)
Dogs would defend their owners and could detect various kinds of dangers early (giving you a early warning that something bad is on it's way)

You say catsplosion, I say all-you-can-eat buffet.

(What? It's not like I have to eat it)  :P
