You have to distinguish pack and hauling animals. You can use things like horses and donkeys in caravans. But some animals will no longer move around random stuff within your colony all by themselves.
Most dog/wolf-like animals and certain others can still be trained to haul from what I can tell. The exception seems to be wargs who are now attack animals and not allrounders anymore.
Typical livestock animals have been made a lot more useful by changing their eating habits.
Thanks for the info.
So, if I understand correctly, you have to keep some animals in pens, and use them just for caravans? They can't be tamed or trained by you, but can (I guess) be bought from traders? These are "wanderers"? Is there a way to know what they are, and which animals can be used to carry things for caravans?
Others can be tamed (by looking at info in the wildlife tab). Is there a way to tell whether you need to pen them up, and whether you can just let them run around and do things? Because if everything has to be penned in, then the keeping of animals is restricted to having them in reserve for caravans, or (I guess) raising them for meat and egg, correct?
I have to say, as a new player, that this change is poorly documented and quite confusing. A system where I have to look up in a table whether I can tame something, because it has no correspondence to the world around us, seems a poor choice. Restricting fighting animals actually seems reasonable, much less so than draft animals.
