Alpha Animals (aka Vanilla Friendly Animals)

[AllenWL]

.... I would give an arm, two legs, a lung, a kidney, and half a liver to have those in my colony right this instant.

[skullywag]

*sweats* im working on it boss!

[Wild Card]

Looking forward to it

[Mr.Cross]

Really looking forward to this. I shall lurk among this thread until it is idea/suggestions are needed or until skullywag graces us with this decked out mod.

[Wild Card]

Same here, i`d also really like to see a crafting system based on the new beasts...anything from Snowlion Fangs spears to armor to everything
Would fit really nice with the rim world principle of making due with what you have...when life gives you lemmons you make lemonade.
When Rimworld gives you Aerofleet`s you male beautifull lamps out of their heads.

[AllenWL]

I don't really care about what I can make with their dead bodies.

I think it'll be more fun to have cute jelly pets and giant spike shooting, explosive-launching, barb-slinging war creatures.

[Wild Card]

Cute jelly pets that glow in the dark and illuminate their surroundings and give a morale boost and their boddies can be ground up into narcotic substances

[AllenWL]

To negate the -15 'bonded animal died' debuff?

That was the original plan. Sadly, making the jellyfish glow in the dark is impossible to do without it looking very awkward and off-putting due to code related things.

RIP What could have been

[A Friend]

Made some minor changes to the Feralisk's texture so I could continue onto the snow variant. Might also change the Raptor Shrimp as it was like the first texture I made and it needs major redoing.

[AllenWL]

Awww, so cute!
I wonder, if a Feralisk fights the megascrab-spider, which would win?

Also, I think it would be cool if an aerofleet had a special attack that actually didn't do damage or cause pain, but lowered the 'body part efficiency' or whatever it's called.

So a aerofleet attack on someone's head won't actually cause damage, but it'll lower their consciousness, and a aerofleet attack on someone's leg will lower their movement, etc. Like stabbing someone with sedatives or something.

[Wild Card]

Could you make the aerofleet to be water based/dependant ?
I e to spawn in every biome and only on maps that have bodies of water . you could say it`s related to their movement as they absorb water and propell themselves using hidrogen in said water

[A Friend]

Cool idea

That's a pretty cool idea for an attack. But I'd like to keep the Air jelly harmless though.
I'll reserve that for another creature.

I dunno if it's possible but I prefer not to restrict the animal too much to a very specific map condition. But that's a pretty nice way of explaining how it floats. I'll add it as a description.

Also, I made a rough size comparison of how I imagine the creatures would look like. Might be different to how it would appear ingame tho

So yes "Giant" Spiders

[Wild Card]

As a suggestion, the big worm (4th from the left) looks very simmilar to the small worm (5th from the right, not counting the human). Are they related?
If not maybe add a diff color scheme for  1 of them, or an extra set of horns, or some freaky looking eyes or something

[A Friend]

Oh they're the "larger cousins" of the megascarab. I might make a raid event of sorts when I manage to make a bunch of them.
