Was pointed in the direction of this thread by kaptain_kavern (thanks). Absolutely drooling at the prospect of dinosaur Rimworld setting.

Check out the Dinosaur Pack Thread. I will update it periodically

kaptain_kavern has agreed to provide the coding for this mod while I focus on textures. So, we should be able to really speed up development and deliver content much faster.

Every great projects start with a little step. Here the first one for me with this mod ^^

The first one I implemented. Now it's time for bed :p

[Coercion]

awesome man. looks great

[kaptain_kavern]

Just to keep you updated on the progress of the mod :

All animal textures Coercion sent me are coded 

The file for modded tropical biome (first release will be focus on this biome) is nearly finished.

I also finished to tweak faction defs to use modded pack animals. Here a pack of pack elephants  (for Tropical biomes  )

All modded animals will drop corresponding leather units (which we're still balancing atm regarding their stats : insulation, Armor rating value, market value, etc)

Best regards and stay tuned Folks

Glad to see someone is working on adding more fauna to the Rim! I've been playing the game for about a month now and I really think the game is missing out on its relative lack of diversity. I'd like to suggest Peacocks be added because of their association with rich people (at least in my area) and the existence of Glitterworlds and rich explorers. They could basically be a reskinned Turkey that lives in rainforests. I'd really like to see them added through your mod if possible.

Also, geese are rather vicious birds so maybe they should not necessarily be considered "Domesticated"?

Looking forward to this!

@Mackinz Cool idea. I will add peacocks to the list

I am not sure yet where geese will be placed, but I will keep that in mind.

everywhere, geese fly to the south in winter and come back in summer, the creature max and min temp should make them spawn at the right times.

This would be cool. I will try to make Geese migrate between the Boreal Forest in the summer and the Temperate Forest in the winter.

Someone probably already mentioned it, but anyway - this game has decorative dogs (useless yorkies), helpful huskies and labrador retrievers (haul stuff, but not that awesome in a fight), but for combat only wild wolves and wargs. It needs rottweilers! Not as hard to train as wolves and wargs, but fast, strong and expensive to buy. And hard to breed. Quality over quantity.

And they are cute. I mean they've been used as guard and attack dogs since forever!)

I may add some domestic pets like rottweilers eventually, but it probably will not be for awhile.

Well, no rush here, I am happy enough with you just considering it. I am grateful already, that you even doing this free of charge) Keep up the good work) Your art is very fitting.
