Title: Pet naming in regards to autonaming by the game
Post by: skullywag on August 29, 2015, 08:31:34 AM
I dont like it.

Chick 1 is a rooster, i cant change it. It upsets my tidy nature :(

It either needs to be automatic or we should be able to change it.

+1 to animal naming.

Squirrel 1 is just weird...

Yeah, I reported this as a bug (the chick/cockerel thing) when the game was in testing. He said that the only way to re-name was by nuzzling, but that wasn't my point. I couldn't reply because he locked the topic. But, yeah, will need to be implemented if Tynan wants to keep his OCD fanbase!

You can manually name pawns if you don't like their name... but you can't manually name pets...

I agree, I want to be able to name my pets!

If I remember, Tynan said this was going to be addressed at some point in the future but not before his 6 month deserved rest.  Though, I have the feeling Tynan isn't going to simply 'drop everything' Rimworld related for 6 months. Doesn't seem like his nature.

If and when this happens I will also be happy. I'm not OCD, but it is REALLY hard to keep track of chick 1 through whatever when you are trying to manage a chicken farm for example without increased micromanagement. Can't separate the males easily from females and what not.
