Alright so for those of you who might be a bit newer to RimWorld, we at one point had a rather popular mod called Project k9. The idea was that dogs, wolves, etc would be added to RimWorld and could be used as lesser colonists. You had minor control over them, they'd pretty much do whatever, and they loved to do hauling jobs which made colony life a little safer. Project k9 was more or less my idea and the mod itself was made by others.

We have the remnants of the old Project K9 to play with here: https://bitbucket.org/picancor/projectk9/src with full rights to the assets.

Things having dogs in RimWorld changed:

Dead bodies were dogfood. Literally watch as your dogs and wild dogs scavenge the lands tearing apart bodies for free meat. Just had a successful battle? FOOD FOR THE DOGS (and no they don't care if it's human meat!)

Hauling champs: Dogs can haul all day and all night. They could only haul so much though as not having hands makes that task a bit harder, but they could haul some serious butt. Why send your colonists on a potentially dangerous mission to go pick up food when your dogs can do it?

Dog Furniture: Your dogs have nice comfy beds and food bins to eat/drink out of.

Melee Specialists: Don't get in a fight with a dog unless you hope to lose an arm.

Things that would have to change for the new RimWorld:

Research: Why not make your dogs better?
Temperature: Obviously most dogs do better in the cold.
Medical: Dogs were introduced well before the med system was made.
Prosthetics: See above ^
Furniture: More furniture would be nice.
Breeding: Because puppies!

If anyone is up to the task of rekindling this beloved mod know that you'll earn some serious brownie points from me and some love from the community.

ooh nice. 

I'm quite happy that the community was willing to work together and get RimWorld in the top 100, that's a huge deal.

Gonna strike a bit hard here friend but.... nobody knows you :p

As someone who is part of, well about twenty something different Teamspeaks let me be the first to tell you that you don't go to strange new Teamspeaks EVER. Huge security risk. This coupled with the fact that you're a somewhat new member, don't really have a name in the community, etc. Now if say one of our incredibly well known modders threw out a server, well we could probably have that populated in a moment's notice.

Going to save you the trouble; Tynan is a stickler for dates and always has been. You can ask all you want, but he'll never tell for a bunch of really good reasons

HOLY CRAP! Yesterday RimWorld was the 130th or so most popular game and today it's the 27th! SPREAD THE WORD PEOPLE AND GET MORE ATTENTION TO THE PAGE!

Hell if you're a RimWorld faithful try to visit the page every day or two, it makes RimWorld stand out and will draw in more friends for our community.


YEAH BOIIIIIIIIIIIIIII.

[ANYWAYS THANKS EVERYONE FOR VOTING! I THINK YOU CAN VOTE DAILY SO KEEP IT UP!]

Do you know where my avatar is from?

Nope! but after some googling I can tell it has something to do with Rin Tezuka of Katawa shoujo =P </Detective skills>

Hey man brownie points for not knowing anything and still understanding she's missing her arms.

ANYWAYS THANKS EVERYONE FOR VOTING! I THINK YOU CAN VOTE DAILY SO KEEP IT UP!

Oh god what?! Did you make this?

It's possible =P

Go there, click the vote for button and let's see if we can't get RimWorld to atleast the top 50! You've played the game thoroughly, the man has worked hard making the game wonderful as well as trying to please the community and by god it's time we win him a medal (or whatever they win!)

He's said there is close to 50,000 copies out which means there are at least 50,000 potential votes every day or so! You literally just have to click that vote button, no logging in or anything!

MOVE MOVE MOVE!

Mainly because Tynan is one guy and his community isn't made up of all the Darwinia kids that think updates need to come out so fast that you can't enjoy the content when it comes out.

Tynan values quality in his updates, something we all feel with each passing update. It's usually never riddled with bugs or errors and nine times out of ten the content additions are so great they actually add entire different ways to play RimWorld.

some schematics may even be rare loot drop from enemies..

That would be a great idea, but have it based in some way that would make sense for the invasion. Like, if its a mechanoid, something like construction or ever, for humor, have them as the great artists. The Tribals? could be crafting, construction, growing, or something of the ilk. The raiders could be straight up medical, shooting, or melee, though I feel melee would fit better with the tribals.

On a side note: Meanwhile the Dev is reading this, going you know what, this would be awesome. All the while, his crying tears of rage at the fact that if he goes with this, complete re-write of research and how things unlock.

Yes but honestly as young as research is right now, I don't think a schematic system would hurt much.
