Male and Female Animals

Description
Have you ever wanted your very own animal managerie and zoo? No?
Well... too bad, it looks like you were on your way to Stoat to visit relatives and came across a roadside Reaver robbery of an animal trainer and trader. But it looks like the trader got killed. But then so did the reavers it seems when the beak things stepped on them.
Anyway, you made it to the Hub and planned to mine like crazy and get enough money to pay for like a ton of food, You are going to need it.

This is an RPG playthrough that isn't as exciting as fighting bandits all the time, but well, feeding and taking care of animals has it's positives. :)
At least you will always have a lot of company.
Teal :)


p.s. just a note-
Male and female animals was mostly made to make animals more diverse. To give them a gender that has differences, the males are usually larger and stronger. though their stats have remained the same. The females have been made a little smaller and a little less strong, though they are a little quicker than the boys. I did this partially because it adds a little more realism and has a little more realistic repercussions in the game, like in the real world if someone or something comes across an animal in the wilderness and is looking for food, the females and kids, cubs and off-spring of the animals are the most vulnerable.
But also, because as a player if I run across a bonedog in the wild, the first thought that comes across my mind, is the pups got to be somewhere close, because the mother is really defensive.

Anyway, whether you like manageries or seeing mom goats escorting their kids across the wilderness, or a family of blood spiders foraging in the woods, you can see the dads and moms and children all walking together. :)
Take care,
Teal

Thank you for the nice words. It is a really nice idea that V2 has with dialog and interactions and a story mode. I am not sure I am up to the task. But it would be nice to see it done. Maybe when I get a little more experience under my belt I can give it a try. :)
Take care,

Interesting chat here. Would love to see these ideas applied to modded creatures but i know that couldbe time consuming haha. Love the Mod.

Yes, I agree. Interesting point.

i don't mean completely removing male and female animals, i just simply removing the gender differences from some of the animals, where it makes sense, since some animals in the kenshi landscape would make no sense to be different genderwise, and sexual demorphism normally happens in animals that have sexual selection, and social animals, and eusosocial animals, and the solitary animals in kenshi, would have zero chance to have sexual selection, since the environment is so brutal, that animals would simply co-exist for abit, create offspring, and then leave one another alone. however, with social animals, it does make sense, as the biggest and strongest would win fights, and establish dominance over the other members.

:) Nice thought, but seeing baby beakthings is kinda cute. And if there weren't any moms and dads, then where did the baby's come from? I know... it's only a game. But I see your point. Not everyone is going to want male and female animals, So, I guess that is okay. Hope you enjoy the rest of the mod though.
Take care,

i feel like some animals in kenshi would have less sexual dimorphism, beak things would most likely have almost no gender differences, since they are mostly solitary, as-well as gorrilos, skin spiders, and land-bats. the animals that travel in groups, such as garru, Crabs, bone-dogs goats, and blood spiders, would be more likely to have more sexual dimorphism.

Just a quick note on this one. If you load it up and play it and then unload it, The animals in the game are going to glitch. Because they have different names than the vanilla animals do. So, it you unload the mod, you might want to donate the save file to posterity just because all the animals will be walking around stiff legged, because the animations are looking for animal... instead of animal male and animal female. :)
Anyway, just wanted you to know, because I unloaded mine and went back to play and the animals were looking funny. :)

Take care and have a good night,
Teal
