[A11] Alpha Muffalo (1.8)

[Austupaio]

Did I never mention that I love this mod? Well, I've got a short list of mods that I use every game, and this one's at the top.

I tell you, my colonists eat so many alpha burgers.

4F-able? If so, change name plox.

[mrofa]

Ahh a must have mod

[JKTD1919]

Thanks to whoever changed the name to the proper name!

When the game goes to Beta, will there be a Beta Muffalo?! No, that's just silly.

...Bewilderbeast! Now that's an alpha.

4 to 4F is just name change, was no issues.
This is my only mod I've bothered updating. I know people like it :p
The game is developing quickly, and I dont have much time to play, mod, test, update.

Lol, They'll probably always be alpha muffalo. That thing looks awesome.

Bump! Updated for Alpha 5 

[mrofa]

Cool

Will this get an update for Alpha 6? It's a really cool mod I would like to continue to use.

[Kirid]

I will update it soon. It needs a new xml for spawning in biomes, which is new, so it wasnt as simple as just checking/updating existing code.

You'll just need to add

<wildBiomes>
<li>
<biome>*</biome>
<commonality>0.5</commonality>
</li>
</wildBiomes>

*AridShrubland / Desert / TemperateForest

In between the <Race> tags in the Races_Animals.xml
to have them spawn in the right biomes

I'd honestly would be still struggling with updating any of my animals if Tynan hadn't held my hand and told me how that works =P Or just given up entirely
but you don't need to make a separate xml (thank god)

[Kirid]

Now working for Alpha 6!!
Thanks Shinzy! What you suggested works
Like other muffalo, they only spawn in the arid shrubland biome. ( I don't really like this)

[Dr. Z]

Can't you make them spawn in multiple biomes?

Maybe you should make them sometimes spawn in the desert biome as well, with a very low commonality.

Ie: the desert couldn't support large muffalo herds, but would still get occasional "hermit" Alpha Muffalos that are tough enough to live on their own.

No good idea, I think the Alphas would get really pissed over the surffalos. I imagine it like an adult sitting next to a bunch of teenies in the bus.
