Hey, sorta searched first before making a new post.

I would like to suggest that in the animals tab, some new icons be added near the pregnancy baby bump icon.

Suggested icon: Biohazard symbol
The purpose of this notification icon would be so you could remember that "Oh yeah, it's turkey 57 and wild boar 39 that have infections" or plague or whatever, and potentially allow you to make and easily assign a new zone for them (if the player so wishes). At least with colonists you get a notification that so-and-so needs tending. I try to micro as little as possible, but it's super frustrating having something die that your pawns already wasted their time tending twice to forget about in the home stretch.

Suggested icon: Handicap sign
This one could make culling decisions easier come toxic fallout or a bad cold snap or whatever. Asthma, cataracts, missing hooves, etc.

I'm sure people could come up with more.



PS - Not really an icon suggestion, but it would also be awesome to show their age in the animals tab, at least somehow, even by hovering in a tooltip.
