I dislike the changes in text, example is hot -> sweaty etc, instead of a nice, clean message.

Sorry, hot is hot. Sweaty is what, hot and wet? Is this supposed to show discomfort? The only discomfort is for the player. New texts not very rimworldish.

Also really dislike the new joy from work and joy in general, either the pawn is working on one assignment or he is somewhat useless and prone to breaking, and the joy gain is on/off. More discomfort to play as one wishes.

Ya! I am hesitant to use any mods.. I have to be sure they are balanced and dont make the game easier. Just QoL and things i think  the game needs. Mounts would be amazing, but damn hard to balance.

I think cougars and panthers were identical in all but color. While the Lynx is just a fluffier smaller version Like Wargs and Labs. I would think Lynx should be able to haul too, just not as much. I really hope panthers hauling isn't a bug! I have wanted it ever since i tamed one. I was really hoping for more animal changes than we got. I have yet to encounter a Warg, muffalo, or bear so far, but i cant wait.

And i love the Simba and Nala! You are damn lucky to find both on 1 trader! The game really needs hyenas, Perfect pack predator for several biomes.

I would love to see more uses for animals... I currently only use combat animals in "safe" situations(Chasing down fleeing terrorists, engaging targets that wont put them in line of fire, or are weakened) or in emergencies, so they dont get hurt. Taming is absolutely my favorite part of the game. Though the unique feel of combat is pretty close too.

Especially having unique uses for specific animals.. Like beavers cutting wood for you, rams and rhinos charging, arming monkeys with knives, dare i say... Mounts? 
And i know ill get a lot of heat for it.. But putting bombs on animals to remote detonate when they get close to hostiles?

Honestly, if i had it my way, i would essentially add a lot of things from ARK to spruce up animals more and give them unique uses and traits! Like turtles armor or cobras toxic buildup, some of the few with a unique trait currently.

And a greater variety of animals too!! The more the merrier. But i know thats a lot to ask, and balance.

I preferred the previous difficulty names over the new ones, which are a bit bland. However, I can understand how some people would prefer simpler terms instead. Either way, it doesn't affect me much in terms of gameplay. I do want to comment on how much I'm loving most of the new changes in 1.0. I bought a male and female panther from a Shaman Merchant that dropped by thinking I'll just train them to release since they previously couldn't rescue/haul in b18. I was pretty happy when I noticed they can now be trained to do both! Silver well spent.

Wait... When did he allow Panthers to haul?! And what other animals had changes like this? Panthers are my fav!
