Sane Critters

Description
This is a simple mod I put together to modify the creature den critters to actually have a benefit than just a cute face with an insatiable need for whatever food you have laying around.

When the player is suffering from sanity loss your pet will become more and more concerned for your well being and will be more likely to "nuzzle" you (something they technically already did). but now will give you sanity benefits when they do nuzzle you.

Mod configuration allows you to be more specific of the benefits.

Petting your critter also gives half a point of sanity.

I am not aware of any bugs, Klei has had little reason to change critters lately.

I'm sorry to say I don't have the motivation to do such a mod as of present. I made this mod as a fun one off, there isn't much brains to this mod. DST is very malleable so if you fancy such a mod, consider giving it a try yourself.

While I am not dismissing the idea entirely, the critters "traits" are defined by how you treat them (primarily feeding them). I would not know how to remove the hunger system without having the overhaul the trait system Klei has designed.

As of sanity aura; No, sanity auras would damage how evening and night work. The normal "nuzzle" bonus already makes sanity loss a lesser issue. What I have created here is loosely what I believe was *fair* to the don't starve gameplay loop, while also giving critters a higher extrinsic reward. The best I can think of is to give a temporary sanity aura when feeding your critter their favorite food, but at that point I'm not sure it would be of much use to you.

You can very likely find another addon that can do that job, though i cant guarantee compatibility.

Mod Configs have most of the buffing mechanics available, but the effect is only applicable once a minute. Besides that, anything from the pet den should work. Remember your pet will only nuzzle you if you have it well fed.
