Dino Dens

Description
Mod id: 2287849593

This mod aims to add some dino keeping mechanics to the game. The basic game loop is tame creatures put them in a pen on wandering with one of the custom feeders. Then if you keep them fed and watered and happy with what they ask for they will passively create resources for you.

So far these are creatures that are supported, what they generate and what they will ask for.

There is still some work I want to do such as adding a higher tier of fences/feeders and some other enrichment structure. I also probably need to do some more balancing as I go.

I have this installed and while I can find and make the Tool Barrel, there are no dino den engrams to learn or craft.

Question 3: I can't habitate my dinos. What's going on?
Answer: The dens can only habitate dinos that have not been remapped by mods such as KBD. For example, you can habitate a KBD Parasaur to the Herbivore Garden, but not a KBD Pachy, which has been remapped to be larger than vanilla. This is relatively easy to get around in the case of KBD, which gives you the option to switch between vanilla and KBD versions of a dino in the radial menus. Since the dinos in the den are not likely to be used for much else, it is reasonable to keep them in a vanilla state. I have yet to test it with modded dinos such as those from Shadlos' mods, but seeing how remapping affects the dens, it's safe to say that they too will not habitate in the dens.
Hope that answers most of the questions people might have!

Okay, a little help for those who still can't get this mod working, since the author seems super inactive right now.

Question 1: How do I craft the dens once I've learned them?
Answer: Most of them should be craftable from your inventory, but the corresponding crafting station is the Tool Barrel. Kinda wish that was clarified a little more in the mod itself, but that's where most of the dens are crafted.
Question 2: How do I attach dinos to the dens once I have them?
Answer: Once you have the den placed, simply move the appropriate dino towards the dino, open the den's radial menu (done through holding the E key) and select "Habitate Dino". If eligible dinos are within range, they will show up in a popup list; simply click on them to habitate the dino in the den. There is a limit to how many dinos you can habitate in the dens (usually around 5-6), so be mindful of that, as well as...

How do I get the den
Emmipigen 16 Jun, 2021 @ 10:40am 
doesn't seem to work with KBD, can't habitate the doed since it's a modded version of it

Okay, so I found a solution on how to attach dinos to the den. You get the dino you want to attach next to the den, then hold E to open more options and then you go to habitat dinos. A window will open in which you can select the dino you want to habitat in the den.
