Description
Boomaphants

Version 1.2

Archo World Geneticist Ricky VonSpankerDoodle brings us his latest creation, Boomaphants. Created for one thing only, producing chemfuel for harsh Rim Worlds. Tame like Elephants and with both genders having tusks this mix between an Elephant and a Boomalope produces almost three times the chemfuel as a boomalope. Unaware hunters have met their maker trying to feed the masses, so beware. Seasoned hunters know to let the rain depict hunting times and to finish off from afar as their explosions are huge.

Safe to add mid game, just remmeber to update your corpse stockpile.

Resurrected this idea from B18. All reworked from scratch.

Version 1.0 - Released for 1.1
Version 1.1 - Updated to 1.4
Version 1.2 - Added execution range 6 like boomalopes have.

Any chance of getting it to 1.5? Not rushing, just asking.

Any chance that we'll get mod options to adjust the range of the explosion? I'd lovvveeee to be able to triple the range xD

I don't know why I didn't have that in there.
I added execution range 6 like boomalopes have

Hey @TheGoofyOne, thank you for your mod! Can you please fix the behavior of hunters when they finish up Boomaphants when hunting? It would be nice if instead of trying to finish the downed Boomaphant off in melee and get hit by the explosion hunters would rather shoot from a distance just like in case of boomalopes

Fixed Boomaphants being prey, TY Thundercraft!!

Updated to 1.4

Word. I may clean it up. I only resurrected this MOD from someone else from .19 I think, so the code could probably use an overhaul like I did with the graphics.

Also, I noticed that the .XML is missing the <canBePredatorPrey> tags. As such, is it safe to assume that Boomaphants are considered valid prey animals by predator animals... some of whom may try to hunt and kill them?

The in-game description says quote, "Not used as a pack animal due to oozing chemfuel from its skin."
However, the .XML code also has...
<packAnimal>true</packAnimal>

I'm glad that this huge animal that eats or grazes a lot is able to be used as a pack animal (even if doing so seems hazardous). However, this does not match the in-game description. And the mod's description, above, fails to mention pack animal usability at all...
