Brief DescriptionThis mod/modpack thing is an amalgamation of my creations and other modders, it's semi-modpack/semi-mod because some of the mods in the pack have be altered for lore/balancing/spawning purposes. Overall, Creatures Galore Pack V1.5 adds seven animals and counting, and some other features that have to do with animals/nature as well! Please be sure to check for updates!
Installation InstructionsUnzip/Extract the file to your Mods folder, or, another place of your choosing, and just put the folder inside of your Mods folder whenever you wish to play with it.

Other NotesAt the bottom of the page, I have attached Argain's No Boomrats Mod, this mod removes boomrats (obviously) however, if you decide to use it with the modpack, the boomrat animal carpet will not be buildable. I have not tested the effects of this mod with the rest of the modpack.
I've also attached a No-Boom Mockingsnakes Mod, to you know... Stop the boom boom.
Please read the ReadMe either attached at the bottom of the page, or in the mod directory for links to single mod pages.
Also, please feel free to leave suggestions/comments/questions below! I'll answer them to the best of my ability!

Planned Features

-More creatures (Once I find someone to icon for me since I suck at it)
I could make an additional add-on for this specific modpack to try and make untalope meat give a happiness boost. It may be difficult, but I can help ch'ya with that. I don't plan on implementing it into the mod itself, however. Also, animals not herding is a vanilla bug of sorts; only, it affects mods... at least that's what I think.
And if you ever need new animals, I can release a new mod! I'm currently working on a "Mockingsnake" mod, which will hopefully add innocent little snakes to the game. I'm not good at all with carnivorous animals at all, though, as there's no vanilla assembly for that, I think. So hey, if ya need any help, just call my name (as in private message me). ;D

I'd love to have snakes added, and any other animals, Im not sure how to get carnivorous animals either... It may be possible to make them Omnivorous, so they will eat raw meat, but that would mean them raiding peoples stores ect :p I'm not good with assemblies and DLLs. Like, can't do them :p . I'll be teaching myself how later, but that'll take time. Iconning though? To frustrating for me, I can't even drawn a stick man.
This is pretty great. Four excellent creatures, all in one place!
I hope that snake Lancer mentioned comes to pass, too, because there can never be too many things for my colonists to eat out of desperation!

Five now :) Newest V1.1 Adds Alpha Muffalo Mod to the mix ! Hope you are all enjoying!
Everyone who has downloaded the mod from the attachment link at the bottom of the page, please use the MediaFire Button at the middle of the page for the newly updated "Alphallo" version!
This must be one of the best modpacks around. Good job! ;D

Yeah, few people can do all the assembly stuff, eh. But hey, if ya need a texture/icon person, I can draw fairly well, if I do say so myself. It takes me a while to, though, as I'm a very patient person and everything I do seems to be tedious. Also I use a trackball mouse to make the art, which doesn't help at all. Anyways, I can help you when you need icons n' textures made. I'm not the best, ya know? Well, fellow, have a good day at ch'ya.

I'd be overjoyed to welcome you aboard the Creatures Galore team if you truly are interested!
Just updated again, welcome Skwurels to the mix!
This is actually a really awesome mod pack, and personally I don't use rugs, but this mod does it really well. I think I'm going to be using this as one of my main mods now ;)

I'm happy you enjoy it! Please make sure you have the newly updated "Skwurel" version downloaded, the mediafire link has been updated!
Updated to V1.4!!! Wood Economy Tweaks and Mushrooms Mods added!
Be sure to report any bugs here!
There was a bug with the original Update V1.5 for this Mini-ModPack that had to do with the Mushrooms Mod, its been patched and reuploaded to mediafire. Sorry if this inconvenienced anyone.
Hi there!
uhm ... i have a little problem. the Animals from your Mod are not spawning at my colony map ... i can see the meet and the corpses in the storage menu in the stockpiles, but there are no rimrats, no alpha muffalo ... non of them. not in the past 40 colony starts, that i made to test some things, during have problems with other mods. in past 50 or 60 colonies i saw maybe only 2 times tha alphas and one time the untelopes ( they are the pink one, right?)

Do you have any of the original mods installed? 'Cause that's a problem. And if you don't have the original mods, then perhaps there's mod conflicts with, say, mods that change map generation (any map generator that changes the original terrain biome will keep this mod from spawning creatures, by the by). If none of the above, then, well, I'm not sure, as I'ven't seen the modified .xml files so XanderDox would have to help ya with your problem.

First I need to know a few things, what is the output log saying, and do you have any other mods installed, the Pack worked fine for me in testing, but I'll check it out again right now to see if I can replicate. (Pink ones are Untalopes, with an A, the Alpha Muffalo and Untalopes are rare,)
I have a suggestion for if you could include an updated version of Project K9 by pidggit into this modpack as it seems that it will not be updated to Alpha 5 by the original creator. Hope you consider this! ;D

I was heavily considering it, but I believe it contains DLL's, which I dont know how to work with, if he updates it, it'll definitely be added in, and I might take a look at it, but I guarantee nothing.
Also, I noticed that your Rimzard mod included kebabs, is this already in the modpack?

Not yet, since about 160 so people have downloaded this ModPack, I wouldnt want them all to have to re-download just for a kebab, so Im going to wait until I have more content for an update before I post an update.
the skeleton squirrel is really neat and i love the biodiversity this adds...
one thing I'd like to see on the animal side would be more alien-like creatures. Currently it seems most of the animals are parodies of Earth creatures.
I'd like to see more fantasy creatures.. wampas, sand people, droids, mechanical spiders, dinosaurs, mutant blobs, adipose, tribbles, triffids, rancors, jabberwockys, dragons, ewoks, wookies, dobys... there's so many sci-fi and fantasy stories abound with diverse alien creatures that are strange and memorable.
I'd much rather see a "strange collection of gelatin and bones, generally known as a Blart" with the properties and AI of an Earth-dog, than just a mod that adds dogs to the game and calls them "dergs". If you wanna stick with the sci-fi western theme, in place of horses, instead of just an alien-horse, it would be cool to see something like a giant stick insect or a dragonfly-type ferret or something...
Combine an octopus and an earthworm and give it carnivorous properties. Make a giant three-headed bear that flies. Maybe something like the extinct Giant Land Sloth but made of fish scale.
I dunno, just saying I'd love to see more crazy shit in this game.

I'd like to focus on the parody streak of the animals, however, I see where you are coming from, perhaps with more time, I will make a new Mod, with crazy out-there animals and creatures.
New poll posted! Please leave a vote, comment/suggestion/question! I'm looking for ideas, and if you'd like to help out with development, I'm mainly looking for people who can make textures!
Voting is locked :|
Also the poll is kind of goofy. You should offer a choice between several animals.

I'm running out of ideas here, I can only do as much as my current Texture drawer can make. I'd like to offer more animals, and gosh darn, this poll system is so angering, I couldn't even get rid of it to start a new one after the original one ended :/
idea: The BoomBear/ Frizzly bear
large health, does tons of melee damage, goes psychotic when it takes any form of damage, and does a larger explosion when killed
The benefits - a lot of food, can be skinned into a large rug which has a better mood bonus then other rugs, or can be made into a jacket that boosts a colonist's mood greatly
What about weasel/ "ground beaver" type animal? Would steal silver or metal from stockpiles-- used to build nests?
Hell have them eat uranium randomly and go psychotic.
I am using this mod right now and like it a lot :).
2 suggestions:
1. Could you add the boars mod and the meatball mod into your pack? Those mods are really cool and would be a great addition (if allowed by their dev i.e.)
2. I observed that the food trader only sold vegetables. It should be possible to sell meats too (for example, an 'expensive' trade of untalope meat). Perhaps you could add a food trader incident in your mod, listing all the animals meat so that they are purchasable or up for sale
Thanks!
I do not mean to ask or question why a certain item is in here but.....Why are there HUMAN skins?
cuz if youre going to have your colony insane enough to eat human meat, might as well not waste the skin

Have you seen this twitter post?
QuoteHow many taboos can I violate with one game dev todo note? "Human leather should match the skin color of the person it was harvested from."
