I've seen alien races framework and other animal frameworks that let animals do extra things but I'm mulling over the idea of making a highly niche animal mod and wasn't sure if there was a framework that does the heavy lifting.

I don't want to make a new race - I want to make a range of new animals. Or is there even a difference?! Cheers.

What animals do you want to create ?
Something like the Animals from
Genetic Rim
or
Minions which can mine,plantcut ,clean and equip weapons too ?
or something else ?

Oh, nothing as fancy as that! I just want more vanilla animals. The dumb type that mosey onto a map, mosey out and occasionally go mad.

I'll need textures of course but I'm hoping it's 100% xml edits. I'm not near a pc to check.

If you just want more regular animal you don't need any extra framework.
But like you allready notice you need new textures so long you don't want any new features.
There are many mod which add some kind of regular earth animals.

But when you want to add some special abilities, like at
Alpha animals  https://ludeon.com/forums/index.php?topic=46252.0
you need to implement them with c# or you can try out the animal framework or maybe jectools.

Nothing special - just normal animals. Looks like I can get away with XML.  :) Will suck and see - thanks!

When I was interested in making new animals I found that "Animal Collab Proj" was a good resource since they offer lots of animals already and the xml code is well organized so it's easy to make modifications to it.
