say does it work with Purchasable pets?

I love this mod but it is unfortunately incompatible with Pandora's Box, so a friend and I made a version that allows the two mods to work together for those interested.

> idk why but I have a full ship of pets..

Huh seems fine when I restarted game, had too much cats + a tentacle pet,
now I have 1 cat

idk why but I have a full ship of pets.. if anyone want's to use this with FU than don't customize your pet after installing this mod. It will add another one, and another one, and another one

do pets DIE?
Expresso 19 Oct, 2019 @ 12:03am 
i think this is how it works, if you know what your pet is then feed it it's usual diet,
like feed fish to a cat or feed flesh to a snake, but i just think so...

pets doesn't pay rent because it's secretly corrupting germany like perry the platypus

try to shove every food item in the game into its face until you find something it likes.
Dragon 21 Aug, 2019 @ 10:41pm

Zendrayel 27 Jun, 2019 @ 12:01pm

Zendrayel 24 Jun, 2019 @ 8:20pm

this comment section is gold, a crab that dislikes being awake and a cat that gives out grenades.
Super Brasilis 29 Apr, 2019 @ 11:21am 
your crab is acting as a cat for real dude lol!
Ex_Tyger 5 Mar, 2019 @ 4:50pm 
IDK if it has anything to do with your mod, or if my pet is just lazy. But it seems that 50% of the time or more, my crab just walks a short ways, and sleeps. Not particularly interested in his ball, occasionally eats, but then goes right back to sleep. Seems to have the unhappy scribble static whenever I interact with him (even after feeding). It's worth noting that I am running no other pet mods.

I fed my cat an Ocean Risotto and it gave me 3 WMP Frag Grenades.
Is it grateful or is my risotto so bad that my cat just tried to kill me?
Yose 21 Aug, 2018 @ 2:44am 
I suggest include in this mod a restored food bowl from Terramart
Jazz 27 Jul, 2018 @ 9:03pm 
@Daemon I was wondering why that kept happening! Thank you for posting this.
dmn 26 Jul, 2018 @ 9:17am 
i forgot i had this installed together with pandora's box.The pet healing station turned every pet into perfectly generic items.
Triel 22 Mar, 2018 @ 2:42pm 
vanilla did not have feeding pet by dropping the item but maybe it had pet coming over function. i dont remember, didnt pay attention to it before
Audie  [author] 22 Mar, 2018 @ 1:32pm

Oh my mod has nothing to do with it! That's a vanilla function, and nothing that I changed impacted it. And yeah, the pet decides at first inspection (just before eating) how much it likes the food on a scale of 0 to 100, and from that point on the value is set.
Triel 21 Mar, 2018 @ 1:31pm 
how amusing that you do not know something your mod directly/indirectly causes. Not that i judge you. people dont pay attention to a lot of things. Though i think you cant identify what it likes that way, i think you need to make them eat it to see if it likes it or not
Audie  [author] 21 Mar, 2018 @ 1:05pm 
@[WAR3] Ragepyre
I... actually did not know that. I had no idea that happened but I just checked the game files and, sure enough, that's a thing they do. Holy butts.
Thanks for the tip!
Triel 21 Mar, 2018 @ 10:06am 
maybe the FAQ should include that the pet will come over to you and stare at you if you are holding a food it likes

Thou must interact with thine pet; a squiggly shall appear over its head if by chance its belly is less than full!
xToastGhost 18 Mar, 2018 @ 9:49am 
how doth thoust knoweth if thine pet ist hungry?
Audie  [author] 14 Jan, 2018 @ 5:47pm 
@Hubnester
Good point- I should probs just do that for the meantime, haha
@xAloneko
Hope it works out!
xAloneko 14 Jan, 2018 @ 1:48pm 
I've been running it since I downloaded the game, so it's weird that it stopped working suddenly, but I'll try. Thanks <3
Hubnester 14 Jan, 2018 @ 1:48pm 
to make it work better with FU, you could add: "includes" : ["FrackinUniverse"] to the metadata file to make it always load after it
Audie  [author] 14 Jan, 2018 @ 1:38pm 
@xAloneko Are you running frackin universe? If so, there's a chance that their groundPet.lua is overriding this mod's because I'm Super Dumb and didn't check to see if there's incompatibilities when I first uploaded this!
I'd suggest unsubscribing, then resubscribing to this mod and see if that fixes your issue!
xAloneko 14 Jan, 2018 @ 12:52pm 
My pets suddenly stopped having interactions and eating, it looked like Starbound had a sudden update a few days ago, but it might have been some of my other mods maybe... just wanted to let you know even though I have no idea if it was an issue with this one mod or if something happened with another one that now makes this one incompatible. Thanks for your work, they were adorable while they still had interactions. :3
Audie  [author] 11 Jan, 2018 @ 4:26pm 
@tomodachi833
I haven't personally tested it but it should work fine, seeing as how they used Skittles's race mod as a template and that pet uses groundPet.lua, as Hubnester said!
Hubnester 11 Jan, 2018 @ 2:54pm 
it should since i don't think they would edit the same things and thier ship pet probs uses groundPet.lua
Zotato118 11 Jan, 2018 @ 1:24pm 
Will it work with the draconis race mod? It's a mod where you can become half human, half dragon.
Audie  [author] 10 Jan, 2018 @ 11:03pm 
@Hubnester
Whoops, I guess I should have done my homework; nope, this mod isn't compatible with FU's capturable ship pets. I'll see about coming up with a workaround.
But yeah, I'd love to hear about when you roll out those new features! I'm looking forward to them :)
Hubnester 10 Jan, 2018 @ 7:35pm 
Hi, i was just wandering if this mod is compatible with the "capturable ship pet feature of FU (if it isn't it's not too big of a deal since not many people know about it. Also i'm planning to do some more changing of ship pets in FU and was wandering if you wanted to know when they are implemented?
Audie  [author] 10 Jan, 2018 @ 11:43am 
@Pipann
Glad to hear it! Yeah, this mod should be compatible with any modded pets, including ones from seperate races; I'll update the F.A.Q. to say as much, and thanks for the confirmation!
Pipann 10 Jan, 2018 @ 9:05am 
As an update to my question, I tried it and it works :) My custom bunny gave me a module!
Pipann 10 Jan, 2018 @ 4:23am 
I always would have likes a little more interaction with my bunny

Is this mod compatible with the purchasable pets mod? this one, specifically. https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=729438381
Audie  [author] 29 Dec, 2017 @ 8:51pm 
@pooprappoobradoor
They should! They have rabbits as pets. I'd check any other mods you have installed if I were you; anything dealing with the ship or the pet scripts might be incompatible!
Poobradoor 29 Dec, 2017 @ 4:32pm 
help my pet isnt there or do avians not have pets

Update: Answer's in the mod description!
