FFSmilodon caravaneer

Description
Adds a +/- new but quite rare apex predator to biomes, Smilodon Populator, also known as big sabre-toothed cat. Comes with 4 different sprites for its different developmental stages. Doesn't turn down human meat and is quite strong, so beware! Caravan-ready with modified pack textures.

-comes with an "A dog said.." patch from https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1207402092

-stand-alone mod requires no other mods to run

-can be added to old savegames, but removal after saving WITH it is not recommened

-downloads for older versions of this mod can be found at: https://ludeon.com/forums/index.php?topic=29811.msg302461#msg302461

-german and russian (thx to Tailless!) language support

Excerpt from a torn page of the Encyclopedia Galactica:

"The prehistoric Smilodon Populator (LUND, A.D. 1842), also known as the biggest of the true sabre-toothed cats, still has a legedary reputation across the whole galaxy. Having already been extinct when humanity had cemented its global-player position in the foodchain of Old Earth, some scientists apparently thought it was a good idea to revive this hominid's Nemesis through advanced cloning techniques.

It is still relatively unclear what specific function the enormous canine teeth fulfill, as their comparably frail static forbids regular and successful use as a weapon; The proportions and angles of the jaw and teeth's points suggest though, that Smilodon hunted very large, herbivorous animals with slashing bites after subduing its prey, possibly still puncturing the jugular vein and/or carotid artery like recent big cats do during their death-bite to the throat.
Adaptions of the bone-structure in the legs further hint on S. Populator having excellent jumping- and wrestling capabilities. As unified ethologists take note, the stories from survivors or even just witnesses of attacks for actual verification of this behavior are regretfully rare."

...apparently there was another paragraph, but dark, sticky blots on the weathered paper make it impossible to read...


C-LOG: removed some custom abstracts, which apparently got rid of the doubled needs- social- and health-tabs.
C-LOG2: removed some duplicated hidden files. Should be fine now, please let me know if there are still issues!

-> all creature and according "wyred"-mods are up_to_date for 1.5.
Enjoy!

@MooBoogie that's what I looked it up under, paraphrasing "smilodon"... I'm not a native speaker, so my "feel" for daily use of language might be a bit off sometimes, granted. But I won't make a completely new mod just for this, tbh, I don't even play much RW at the moment, and I mainly just maintain my mods.
If it bugs you so much, maybe break the immersion some more and re-write your own, individual version of this mod? It's not so hard, even code-noobs like me can do that, apparently ;)

Is it possible to have a version of this mod that calls it Smilodon instead of Big Sabre-Toothed Cat? Just kinda takes me out of the immersion. Never heard it called that anywhere in my life
