A bit thin, but it's a video game. This change was made for design/balance reasons.

Always thought that growing was a bit easy, only thing that can impact it at all in a major way is seasons (if you don't play on all year) and blight maybe we need some form of pest event to make growing a bit more of a risk

Have a look at Shinzy's mods 'Norbals' & 'pirates' the norbals are a custom humanoid race and the pirates are a pirate (like cutlasses and muskets) faction, they are both awesome and I don't play without them or forum search in mod help for 'races' or 'custom races' had a look myself last week and it gave a few results with some people asking for help and people giving some answers

Well I bury or cremate them before they rot, or butcher them and sell the leather and meat
But the idea is cool, always wanted animals that would try to eat colonists and try to drag them away to their lair if provoked

This is the only game I've played for 2 months now, may as well make it count for something instead of just the silver and organ/limb stockpile

I sat here for a awhile trying to figure out a funny and awesome way to say it but all I can say is I need this hahaha

I never used this mod (got the game at alpha 9 so saw no point) but maybe even cherry pick this? there is a few pages with good ideas

I think it's mainly any mod that has a BiomeDefs folder that you need to gen worlds with, because they affect the biomes and how things spawn, like Igabod's Biodiversity mod for example it has a BiomeDef folder to add in the extra animals and spawn rates etc

I always loved the idea someone posted in the event suggestion sticky - Mad surgeon - something like - If the right conditions are met pawn wise one of your colonist might randomly go a bit nuts and incap a fellow colonist and then proceed to preform unnecessary medical operations on them, they described it with "Where did george go?? and where did all these organs come from?" if you guys are still looking for ideas for stuff that person has gold  

Hope something awesome comes up soon, or lots of free pizza

Started working on my first mod (yay) decided that I wanted a race of energy beings (a kinda cross between the Engi from FTL and Dr Manhattan without all the superpowers) and I realized I had no hope in doing so when I tried to edit some of the vanilla textures to give the bodies and faces a fire/electricity kinda look and failed miserably. I've started fiddling with some copies of core files to get base things (so they can work, rest, joy etc) hopefully going to make it so they don't need food (or nearly as often as humans), leave a fire or explode on death, and I've already written it in but have no idea if it will work but their melee's are fire
But if anyone has any spare time and wants to throw some textures (1 male and 1 female) together for me I put money one them being better than what I can do but until then I'll just keep playing with the code til it works

Hi demacrex,
Thanks for your work. I've just added the aggressive animals part for you.

THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR RE-ADDING THAT HAPLO!!!! was worried about removing it but now I can rest easy knowing you fixed it
I'll download the one haplo has re-uploaded and continue testing it, cheers again

anybody have tried it yet?

I've been playing with it on and off today and so has a friend who has RW (gave him Biodiversity to test) and I didn't see any problems, but as I mentioned (by saying they are more friendly in OP ) I had to remove the aggression trait from some animals as after 3 hours trying to fix it and constant errors on startup I caved and went to bed (I mentioned I'm not a modder right?)  so I took that out next morning and started with no errors and after a little playtest I uploaded it and yeah no problems so far for me but I've only played one biome so far but I've seen fly's, alphalo, tarantulas, mosquitoes and furxs on my map    
As do I nmid and hopefully has a little time to do a little update on the mod aswell, I just got impatient and wanted to hunt these glorious animals hahaha
Edit: Just noticed this in biodiversity/defs/biomedefs/biodiversity_biomes <animalDensity>0</animalDensity> on ice sheet line 9 might wanna set that to something if you intend to play on ice sheet, desert is .7 and tundra 1.0 so I guess maybe .3-.5 might be appropriate, not sure

And a little tip: Don't use the brain stimulator on colonists with dementia. Dementia is not as bad as the effects of the stimulator. The brain stimulator is meant to make colonists with serious brain damage useful again. I wouldn't even recommend it with half the brain destroyed.

That's one mistake you won't repeat twice.

Sometimes you gotta learn the hard way >.<

There isn't I was merely suggesting that it has previously been asked for alot and there is no way as it is still a suggestion, hopefully a mod does come up soon to add something in as having animals would be good, people have suggested guard wargs and I've suggested a muffalo cart trader but yeah there are some modding tutorials in the mod help section I believe, maybe see what you can come up with as I'd enjoy it

That works until your cook breaks from the negative mood from butchering humans.

Cannibal, Psychopath and Bloodlust are all very powerful and useful traits even though they sound undesirable.   

Also your cook only gets one -4 for butchering humanlike, doesn't matter how many
