Hi! Quick question, do the new pack animals get the saddlebags graphical indicator whenever they're carrying something on them?

They do! I'll add preview images later, thanks for reminding me

[BlackGyver]

Ahhh, excellent! Adding this to my little collection, then! This is great stuff!

I also have a few extra questions:

1. Can this be added to an existing save?
2. Does the "Bears" category include both grizzly and polar bears?
3. Would you consider adding more animals to the list? (some that make sense to add: Rhinoceros, Elk, Caribou, Cow - and some that make slightly less sense but could be nice to have too, both for variety's sake and to cover a better range of climates: Alpaca, Ostrich, Warg, Ibex, Wild Boar)

1. Can this be added to an existing save?

I don't know yet but I'd say so, I will test this evening and report. Feel free to report if you want to test that yourself

2. Does the "Bears" category include both grizzly and polar bears?

Yes. I know Taiga creatures also adds a Black Bear variant, I'll have to think of a way to patch things up.

3. Would you consider adding more animals to the list? (some that make sense to add: Rhinoceros, Elk, Caribou, Cow - and some that make slightly less sense but could be nice to have too, both for variety's sake and to cover a better range of climates: Alpaca, Ostrich, Warg, Ibex, Wild Boar)

Yes. I'd like to make it configurable in the mod options perhaps, because there is no way everyone will ever agree on a standard set.

My game is currently borked due to mod issues, I'm awaiting a critical mod update to keep playing, in the meantime I'm mod-shopping!

Thanks for answering my questions, and I'll be looking forward to a per-animal configuration, it's even better!

your point?

[Wraithling]

Great mod 

Haven't tried it yet but I've got a question - are the carrying weight for each animal different?

They are indeed! Preview is coming now

[FadingFog]

your point?

No :) The same mod has long been created by another person

[christianmc1101]

It´s another mod, I think

[BlackGyver]

your point?

No The same mod has long been created by another person

Not only it's a different mod, the code is already different, the available animals are different, the balance is different, some other (minor) things (the way the packs clip on animals, for instance), and so on. If sirgzu goes with what he has planned, they'll end up differentiating themselves even more. You'll also notice it's a Workshop-only mod, some people like to avoid automatic updates, or play with the DRM-free version bought from the Rimworld website, what about them?

So what was the purpose of your link, AlexDeluxe?

[Ekksu]

Heya! I've got a mod like this I made a month ago or so here. So if there's anything I can do to help lemme know! They should function the same and work fine together if you're using the same coding I am? So I'd imagine they're compatible! Not trying to steal your thunder, just offering my lil' ol' mod up!
