I stopped modding for awhile, like, a long while, and my Mini-Modpack has fallen into disuse due to being outdated, I can update some of the mods, but not all of them, I may combine the ones I do into an animal modpack again, I may not, never know.
But first I'd like to know if there is any interest in me actually updating.

I'm sad to say I don't play Rimworld anymore :/
Sorry!

Also, whoever else downloaded the "Pigs" textures, you need to ask Shinzy to use them, as him and I are the only people with rights to them. And my rights are only to use them in my mods :p . So yeah, check with him. He's Mr. Owner of em.

Woo, Shinzy has excellent texturing talent! Only... where's the tusks? Ah, well, a great mod that has good combined textures and xml stuffs. Awesome.

Got a question, though, XanderDox, is this creature carnivorous or have ya still not found out how to do that? Just wonderin'.

I'm still trying to figure it out, once I learn C# it shouldn't be too hard. But until then, its Omnivorous, it wont purposely kill other animals for meat, but it should eat raw meat on the ground ect..

oh my god he's huge! haha
(maybe I should have scaled him down a notch *embarassed*)

Anyway! for such a pig (oh the puns) and rare creature, he drops very little meat
and the recipe in the oven (cook boar) threw me off a bit for cupla minutes
first off I tried to cook him in the corpse form (which shows how big of an idiot I can be sometimes =P)
then I realized it requires some potatoes aswell
so I'd find it nice if the recipe thing was called 'cook boar stew'
but this is just small nitpicking now so I'll get off your back!

I like this!

Yes, he turned out quite large, so I had to make do, so, woo, Giant Boars, I do need to configure the amount of meat he drops and the recipes label. Its on my list.

Giant Boars Mod
This Mod adds one new creature, the Giant Boar. It is a large mammal, and when I say large, I mean rivalling Muffalo in size, it can be hunted, butchered and cooked into the three regular meals, and into a special "Boar Stew" . It is a solitary creature and can be found roaming the shrublands alone.
Please be sure to comment any suggestions/questions/bugs you have! I'm more than happy to respond!

Kudos to Shinzy for designing the texture of the Boar!
Kudos to Jamieg for designing the texture of the Stew!

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 :/

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!

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.

Yeah, It happens to me to. I'll try to fix that. (Thanka mipen that his mod also have quarries, so I can look how they work :p )

I'm just wondering if the Owner of this Mod gave you permission to update it, if they didn't specify a license, or leave a few sentences, all the code and textures are their intellectual property and you can't use them.

oh gee I don't know.. it seems awful lot of wooork
*poke*

hehe sorry =P there you go!
I'm glad you like him

Eeeeeeee!!! Thanks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The Xerinthia League of Nations Forward Operating Base has now been active for five days. We contacted Commander Purvel again, for an update on how the base has been doing, his reply was saddening. First, Engineer Sarah Blaire was found out to be an undercover Agent for an external organization, this was found out in the nick of time, by First Officer Orlene, FO Orlene acts as the base's second in command. Miss. Blaire was later shot and killed as she attempted to flee the base. In other news, four pirates have attempted to raid the base, but were quickly deterred by the FOB's defenses, Intelligence is still attempting to discover which band these pirates came from. And in the last update, we were able to get into contact with Captain Vere, she let us in on the latest gossip at the FOB. Captain Vere has decided to removed Chief Officer Strapping from his position, on account of his failure to remove Miss. Blaire without causing extensive harm. He has been replaced by Officer D'Moren, who is settling into his new Chief Officer Quarters nicely, below, you will see a photo of such Quarters. Hopefully, we will receive a full view of what the FOB looks like. But according to Commander Purvel, such an action could be considered a security risk to the Base, and as such, will be left to Captain Vere and Chief Officer D'Moren to decide.

FLASH NEWS

Commander Purvel has just released this statement:
"After a video meeting with Captain Vere, First Officer Orlene and Chief Officer D'Moren, it has been decided that former Chief Officer Strapping will be removed from the mission completely, a shuttle is being dispatched to the FOB to escort him back to Ark One immediately. This decision was made after Officer Strapping had a nervous breakdown, where he damaged multiple pieces of LoN property, and injured two Security Officers on site, who were attempting to detain him. No charges will be pressed, but he is being placed in a Mental Institution until his mental state returns to optimal levels. Whether he returns to the mission will be up to Captain Vere."

I'm looking for a boar texture, Boars without tusks please. If someone can manage this, I'd be really happy!

A hairy pig then, is it?
something like this?
tried to keep the looks as close to the other animals as possible
as for the size I don't know if it's adequate or not! I only used muffalo from google as reference image =P
I don't know how much larger it would be compared to boomrat
I'm really lazy when it comes to doing any sort of research prior working on stuff =P

It looks awesome! But I'd kinda need it in three different pictures if you wouldnt mind :/ on of its back, on of it facing the right and one of it facing forwards, but all seperate.... If you could manage that I'd be so thankful!!!!

The League of Nations has released the first photograph from its FOB on Xerinthia, and has also released some information. According to LoN Mission Director, Commander Purvel, the picture you will see attached to this file is the FOB's main source of power, and also serves as a front entrance to the FOB, which the Commander says is built inside Xerenthia's largest mountain. It is heavily fortified with turrets, sandbags, and also concrete low-walls, we at the Database and Information Collection Branch also believe the "Phalanx" Shield Generator is there, although the Commander comments this is surely folly, as the Generator would be placed in a much more secure location. In other news, the FOB is now fully staffed, and is being led by Captain Vere. Via contact over secure communications networks, the Captain has been able to provide us with some information from the ground. Captain Vere says that initial construction went easily, with no acts of aggression from the locals. She also was able to list a few features that the FOB has, including a Prisoner Ward, an indoor Hydroponics Area, and a Canteen. She also informed us that she has assigned Security Officer Strapping, to the position of Chief Officer, who is in charge of the FOB's Security Detail. The future looks bright for this mission. 

Might wanna test mechanical defense beforehand, it has a tendency of making saves hard to reach at times.

I have, dont worry. But by any chance, do you know, or does anyone know, the key for making the bloody UI disappear?
