Vanilla Animals Overhaul
First release - aka Konrad Lorenz edition - :
- All bears, Alpacas, Ostrich, Rhinoceros, Cow, Elk, Caribou, Warg and Elephants can now be used as pack animals and will be used by other factions. -
I only used animal with bodysize > 1- modified workgivers so animals will now follow their master for way more activities when sets to follow master for fieldworks -
DoctorRescue, ReleasePrisoner, Slaughter/Milk/Shear/Train, Harvest/Cut, Strip/Bury/Haul Corpses and CleanClearSnow
On this picture you can see that Panache (the dog) is escorting his master while he harvests plant- Lots of animals are now set to be herd animals. Meaning they should behave more as a group, especially when you will hunt them

- Cats and big Cats are now trainable (up to advanced like dogs) but are harder to train than most other pets (wildness raised from 0.2 to 0.5 for the pet).
- All Bears, Foxes and Big Cats have now a "maxPreyBodySize" attribute up to their relative own body size attribute.
- All dogs are now set to be predator (but only for the smallest animals)
2nd release - aka Charles Darwin edition - :
- Cassowaries, Emus, Iguanas, Ostriches, Tortoises, and Turkey can now lay unfertilized eggs
- Monkeys and domestic Cats had their body-size upped in order for them to be eligible for haul training (from 0.35 to 0.40 for monkeys and from 0.26 to 0.4 for cats)
- Elephants can now eat trees and the female elephant will also drop tusks
- Caribous, Deers, Elks, Gazelles, Ibexes, and Rhinos will now drop horns/antlers/tusks when butchered. They are considered quite valuable for reselling and can be used as makeshift melee weapon
- Alpacas, Deers, and Ibexes can now be milked. Ibexes produce poor-quality wool now
- Thrumbos can now be sheared (every 50 days) for their high-quality wool
