Suggestions wanted: Animals!

[zenfur]

Looked through the thread and didn't see this, so maybe I missed it or it was never suggested.

But, how about the worms we see in the movie Tremors? Very aggressive but also quite lucretive in terms of the meat they would provide, but to balance them out, they wouldn't be common-place but more of an event.

Uh, it was suggested 3 times in this thread so you didn't look very carefully . I agree, I love that creature and wish to see it in rimworld deserts as a challenge event.

Raider usable pets - battle pig and warrior chicken.
> maybe stick with allowing attackers the ability to sometimes have animals
> Change that chased colonist event to colonist's following raider group having blood hounds or animals for tracking...

foxes to hunt hares and cats

Oh yeah, foxes are too cute.

And penguins because..... really? Can't believe they aren't there already considering you don't even need arms or legs.... fits right in.  Plus, could really use an egg layer in the coldest regions. Slow eggs but at least it's something starting out.

They're still cute. They're a different species dude.

My wife is voting for sheep, birds, maybe more dog breeds and foxes. She says an attack parrot would be awesome.

Personally I would like to see sheep, but only if they could explode, as that is a mandatory trope for all video game sheep imo.

Mounted animals would be fun too, such as horses or tauntauns.

EDIT: Cats, but they adopt and train colonists instead of the other way around.

bahahaha...........,

How on earth did you stumble across that one? 

And just figured sheep where there already but hadn't played the right region. Dynamite sheep +1 Game staple for sure haha.

Ship cryocaskets for animals!! You can carry an incapacitated Centipede to a cryocasket but not an animal ? I want to take my pets with me.

I want to down a mechanoid....shove an AI Persona Core in to it, and let it run around my home area, watching over my base like a turret.

It will be funny if parrot can be trained social conversation and can talk instead of master.

slug/snail beastie.
causes slime trail (dirtiness ) though could give positive to colony somehow

Sheep. They are the quintessential livestock in so many cultures. They can provide wool and food. Also goats for wool, food, and milk. Sheep and goats. Those are what we need.

Animal solidarity.
When a tamed animal you have is hurt by a colonist or butchered, animals of the same race are likely to get aggressive. They might attack the colonist immediately, or become very angry. If angry animals are not Handled within short time, they attack.

This change could introduce some emergence into Rimworld, especially when combined with Drunken Colonists Looking For A Fight.

Rimworld currently has a form of solidarity - elephants support each other when you try to hunt one. Then you get as much meat as from a warg pack!

Not just elephants, all herd animals. I've had colonies destroyed by deer and by muffalo just by hunting them a bit too much and pissing them all off. One of those was my shortest game, I lost everyone on day 3.
