Are attack animals useless?

I release my cougars when the raiders are running away! Those cats can quickly track them down, and tear them to pieces!

Wow, I need to try this! Are they really much faster than humans ?

Yup! Their movement speed is 6.50 squares per second, where regular colonists only manage around 4.45

So, they would need people with two bionic legs to get away from them. And on top, a few of them have at least been hit by a bullet or two, further decreasing their speed

They also do quite well in regular combat, but they should only be released when necessary, as they don't take thaaat many bullets

Wow lots of great ideas. I still wish the animals would attack enemies without being attacked first in open areas... had an enemy walk right past one of my bears with the bear just watching him as he walked over and attacked one of my people.

Releasing the cougars for fleeing enemies sounds amazing and the chicken zerg would be great if anyone ever had chickens for trade.

I literally have about 200 hours into 3 colonies so far and have only had unfertilized eggs for sale so far.

Thanks everyone. I love this community.

That is very unlucky. But hang it. I once got a trader who carried 200 fertilized eggs... Now imagine if I bought and let those hatch.. damn!
