Tamable Cave Dragons

Description
Catch, breed, tame and train the mightiest of underground beasts - the cave dragon.

This mod makes hatched cave dragons fully tamable, modifies cave dragon growth progression and guarantees successful breeding of two captured dragons of opposite genders. And you can train them to be war beasts or hunter companions.

After hatching, cave dragons take 15 years to become adults. At this stage, they are the size of an elephant. They reach their maximum body size (3 times larger than an elephant) at age 150. They do not die of old age.

since the megabeast dragon now has a baby state i got to wonder if cave dragons will also get a hatchling state

Thanks! Made it now :) I was in the wrong mod folder too, not the installed one

Hi, to make them domestic, add [COMMON_DOMESTIC] and change [PET_EXOTIC] to just [PET], also change their pet value since they cost 10000 by default (too costly to buy).

Hi, any way to change them so you can choose in embark? I tried adding [COMMON_DOMESTIC] to the text file, but didn't seem to work

Added graphics for young cave drakes in version 1.02.

Did the drake initially have a graphical sprite? Did it start after some time?

I'm noticing that for some reason the Drake I've got has graphically bugged out and turned invisible at some point. It didn't start that way, and I'm not sure what's caused it.

Without the mod they are only partially tamable, take 1000 years to grow to their full size and are born as adults. With the mod, they are born as drakes, take 15 years to become adults and 150 years to grow as big as they can be.
Can't say for sure if existing worlds can be modified with a mod like this.

If not... I'm very interested in the mod :P

Will I have to create a new world for it to take effect?
Flowers 30 Dec, 2022 @ 7:55pm 
I thought this could already be done without a mod?
