This would be better as a table. You need extra columns, for fur, milk, eggs etc. There are notable differences there. Alpaca fur grows relatively fast. Mufallo takes ages. Elks produce milk quickly. Mufallo take ages.

[LouisTBR]

Ok, sorry. Can you not still get the gist of it?

[Daman453]

Thanks for the list man

[LouisTBR]

That's fine! I know, it could be more informative, but where's the fun in that?

[Cimanyd]

This is great! Very helpful post. A few notes:

The in-game name is "wild boar", not "boar".

"[Boomalopes] are a cross between Boomalopes, squirrel-like bombs, and muffalos." I think you mean boomrats there.

[LouisTBR]

Oh, yeah, thanks for the correction. Happy to help anytime. If you want me to post a more detailed look at a certain animal, I am happy to do so! (especially tortoises!)

[HalfmoonSmile]

Interesting post, thanks.

Another con of elephants is that they seem very into getting drunk/consuming beer. I had 2/3 of my herd die of alcohol poisoning before understanding what was going on....wonder if it's just their ability to eat so much volume that gets them in trouble?

Also, how much do folks see animals nuzzling? Despite basically running rimzoos in two colonies I have only noticed it happen once (a rhino self-tamed and immediately nuzzled a hunter), no matter how I set up animal and colonist area restrictions. It seemed weird to lock every living being inside a small area for four months and see no interspecies interactions outside of taming/milking. Spaceyorkies feel about as useful as a single fine meal, hayfed cobras hang out docilely alongside puppies and chinchillas, and elephants never step on anything.

[b0rsuk]

I haven't seen nuzzling since one of A12 pre-releases. It was pretty good back then, other than annoying stonecutters to no end.

Elephants have 300 carrying capacity, and yes, can be trained to haul.  But they're quite slow and not that tough or strong in melee. They feel like having a hauler with bad back speed-wise.

Thanks! Yeah, not just elephants! My self-tamed boomalope drank 12 bottles of beer before being rescued by my husky! And, no I haven't had a colonist nuzzled in either testing (developement mode) or the regular game. And the fact that tamed animals are called {1} 1 really annoys me. Rhinos don't, though.

[HalfmoonSmile]

Oops, I actually just assumed the rhino nuzzled (I read that's when many animals are named, iirc), as it was the only named animal I've seen besides dogs and cobras, even though I had a few highly trained elephants. I haven't had any other rhinos; I'd guess they are probably automatically named.

[Mikhail Reign]

So rhinos don't nuzzle? How do they get named then? Because I'm in the same boat - the only animals I've seen named are the rhinos.

[GamerGuy]

I might be wrong but I'm sure monkeys have advanced intelligence. (?)

[LouisTBR]

No, I am doing the intelligence on the basis of their ability to haul and rescue, not the actual intelligence, because this would require and extra column about the size of the animal which will affect their capabilities.

[LouisTBR]

I'm pretty sure all rhinos in the game are auto-named as soon as they are tamed. I think it is the same case for them when bought off of traders too.
