[SargBjornson]

The mod includes a slightly modified version of it, so no need to add it to your modlist

[Kori]

Okay, thank you!

Hey Sarg!
I'm getting errors when using your mod with Dual Wield. Can you take a look at it?

It will probably give errors with any ranged creature. I'm afraid it is a compatibility with the ranged animal framework, and that has to be fixed on that mod's Harmony patch

...

This seems like an issue that's fixed a few versions ago in dual wield. Do you have the latest version of that mod?

[SargBjornson]

The Genetic Rim - Alpha Animals patch is UP, get it while it's hot: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1658356618

[whyareuhere]

It says that it has been removed by the author....

[SargBjornson]

Fixed, it is always linked from the first page of this thread, though

Here's a question:

Some of your animals drop steel chunks/stone etc.

Can this mechanism be used by a mod that wanted to make vanilla animals drop manure periodically, say to incorporate it into Fertile Fields or Bad Hygiene's fertiliser mechanics?

[whyareuhere]

Thanks! Is there anywhere that I can find these compatibility patches without buying Rimworld on Steam?

[SargBjornson]

Check out my github, everything is there

May I suggest that the chance of slurrypedes appearing in the wild be lowered? I've only survived for 2 years and I already have 4 slurrypedes. Maybe make them as rare as tetraslugs, I make free cash just by having them graze and spit out their disgusting nutrient pastes.

So as I understand it, Alpha Animals primarily causes issues with Zetrith's Multiplayer due to Boulder/Pebble mits spawning chunks. Would it be possible for you to make a patch that disables this behaviour, Sarg?

[SargBjornson]

That's weird! Would it be ok if they spawned bricks instead of chunks? Also, is it the only problem with the mod with multiplayer?

[NixGerit]

Hi SargBjornson!

Created an account solely for posting on this thread to thank you for making AlphaAnimals. I absolutely love them (always been a sucker for animals), they make game so much awesome. My favourites are meadow aves (more like meadow awwws), in any colony when I see a trader having the eggs, I get a dozen if I'm in more extreme environment, they have their places alongside the doggos. They're good birds. So colourful, so pretty, so handy. Gotta adore them.
Also, the groundrunner? Marvellous idea, very useful critter. I do have to say that when they mine, the products they mine, for example steel, always drops down as forbidden, maybe it would be great if it was allowed? But nevermind this detail, they're still kickass.
Nightling is very cool too, though he's a nasty bastard when they come in a bunch of dozens in the mood for some manhunting.
And last I want to mention is the sand squid - where the hell did you get the idea for it to slime all over and make desert actually usable? That's just ingenous. Kinda glad they're so rare, I have the urge to use them just for the sheer coolness of the idea.

Keep this on, please, you do awesome stuff, hand-on the best mod around! <3
