More Diverse Wildlife

Description
This mod overhauls the encounter rates of wildlife spawns in this game and lifts many biome and frequency restrictions. Now you can see a more diverse variety of animals in your embarks, regardless of where you start.

TLDR: Less ravens/crundles/giant birds, and more !!FUN!! animals

This mod also incorporates my Trainable Animals Expanded mod, and makes every animal in the game tameable, hunting trainable, war trainable, and able to become a pet or exotic pet. This also includes giant animals, sentient creatures, and animal people!

This mod removes the [FREQUENCY] tags from every creature in the game so birds and crundles stop dominating the wildlife encounters, and allows all animals to have an equal chance of appearing based on their population.



Some birds have also been made vermin instead, and the spawn rates of giant birds and other common flying animals were all greatly reduced.

Dragons and cave dragons are also able to be fully domesticated now, with the [CHILD:1] tag being added to them. Minotaurs, hydras, merpeople, and more are also trainable now with the [PET_EXOTIC] and [TRAINABLE] tags being given to them.

The [MEANDERER] tag has also been removed from all giant animals and animal people so that they move faster and can be more reliable in your military.

Mythical creatures, giant creatures, and large predators can all appear more frequently now. Now you will see less mundane creatures and instead see more lions, tigers, elephants, jaguars, hippos, unicorns, sharks, and more!

Giant animals and animal men can also appear much more more frequently now. The vanilla game has a great variety of creatures, but unfortunately wildlife spawns are often dominated by the same boring, common creatures. This mod fixes that.



Q: How do I install this mod? It says it conflicts with X!
A: During world creation, enable the mod by clicking the right arrow.

Afterwards, you may need to disable Vanilla Entities or Vanilla Creatures by clicking the left arrow to move them to the other side as this mod is a replacement for one of them.

Finally, if it says it must be before vanilla_music, just click the up arrow on this mod in your load order (this is needed to maximize compatibility with other mods).
