Description


Warning: Any mod adding new creatures requires a new world to be generated, otherwise they will not spawn (since they were not generated as a part of a world's population).

Creature description
A squat sheep-like four-legged moss eater found in damp caves. They are farmed for their very tough leather that can be used to produce much stronger leather armor.
They can also be farmed for wool.

Females are milkable, so you can grow them for deep rothe milk/cheese production.

Their leather material is actually twice as tough as normal leather, so you can breed them for tough leather industry.
The creature is based on Pekyt from Genesis mod, adapted for more generic/DnD-like bestiary.


Creature population
Biome: Subterranean chasm, 1st cavern
Population: 2-8

This is based on one of creatures from my old Genesis mod (pekyt). I've decided to release each creature separately, so you could pick and choose what you want.


If you like the mod, you will make me happy if you rate it and share it with your friends. And remember, Losing is Fun!




This mod simply adds a new creature (with related bodyparts and inorganic materials), so it cannot conflict with anything.
It needs vanilla materials/bodypart definitions to function.

Do they graze only on moss?

Love it! Ranch these on most forts
Currently adding this under [CASTE:MALE] in the mod's raws

All of your mod creatures are truly attractive.
First I only tried a few, but eventually I wanted to use them all. Now I'm creating a new world.

Sweet, that looks to have fixed it. 1.3 has fixed the wool problem, I can now shear my Deep Rothes, spin their wool into yarn thread, then make yarn cloth and make all my usual cloth stuff. Thanks Deon! Best part: I didn't need to make a new fort, the game's "hey did you want to update this mod for this save?" feature worked perfectly for my in-progress fort!

Was bad news for the sheep and alpaca in my fort, though. They were forcibly, uh... retired.

Thanks again, Deon!

In that case it was indeed the standard hair tissue size. It wasn't thick enough to have enough "weight" to be considered a unit, I assume.

I only figured it out by comparing raws, strangely this is not on wiki but it explains a couple of forum posts I've found.

I tested it in 1.2 and then in 1.3 and it now works, thanks. It for sure wasnt working on the old version, even isolated in a save by itself for me. Dont know what was going on. But the "wool" it gave in 1.2 was 0 weight and wouldnt even go in a stockpile with sheep wool, and if it was the only available it would cause job cancellation if you set up Spin Thread due to no hair. Weird stuff. DF modding doesnt always make sense to me... since its fixed now, oh well.

1.3 update:
- Increased thickness of wool layer on Deep Rothe, so now they produce 2x times wool than a sheep.

Proof that it works for me: https://imgur.com/a/BllqAUn

I have a stupid question. Did you try using the "spin thread" in farming workshop before using loom? I tested and it works.

I will still increase the thickness to produce more wool per one creature.

Interesteting, I compared the RAWs, and it is identical to sheep. The only thing missing is relative thickness indicator. I'll try to look into it more now. Maybe because the thickness isn't changed, the wool produces a very small amount.
