[A15] Alpha Animals

[SpaceDorf]

Just to let everyone know, I have got my train journeys back due to moving house, I began working on this again during this mornings commute, killed about 40 errors from A15 - A17, ill get the rest on the way home, I should be able to release at least a working version with animals spawning soon. Ill then start working on the more fancy stuff (ranged verbs) which was what was holding me up before due to core bugs that have since been fixed.

On the matter of ranged verbs .. what if .. you turned the animals with ranged verbs into a Race/ Hidden Faction like Insectoids and Mechanoids.

When I read the faction defenitions right, you can enforce a relationship range ( in this case neutral )
but I see the problem with that thought too .. then they would be no longer tameable but had to join your faction and become colonists .. and in order to breed them now you need the Baby Mod ..

damn .. sounded like a good idea at first.
I'll post it anyway.

From my experience with my Arachnid mod, if you want an animal to have ranged attack, it will have to be a like a mechanoid centipede - but once you do that, they will not be able to be tamed or recruited as part of the colony. 

The problem lies with how the game's original codes is designed to keep mechanoids totally special from humans and animals. Its a hard problem to solve, and i'm not good with patching (harmony) either.

I dont suppose that this mod will be compatible with A Dog Said or ADS Easy Patcher? It would be sweet if I could get an army of lockjaws with bionic jaws eating everything.

Given how long this has been dead, why is it still in the "Releases" section?

[skullywag]

Cuz i havent tidied up the releases section since the last release (I keep the last 2 alphas in releases) as im pretty busy on a multitude of other things. One being fixing this mod. Now stop backseat moderating and just be patient.

[sirskips]

It would be great to see this for A17!

While cleaning some folders and repos in order to get ready for A18 I stumble upon the unstable version I've made for A17 which was still full of errors...

I gave it some time and love... And now I have a working version ready for A18. Things are really crude and lots of animal needs more works (some more than others) but it's starting without errors and it's playable.

All animals spawned via Dev Tools in A18

I will still polish things a bit waiting for either Skullywag or A Friend permission before releasing a "dev" version and then I will need you folks for testing and feedbacks please.
