So glad for this, I added the animal backpacks mod and now I'm screwed if I import because it'll get rid of of my massive prison.

Not sure if it was this mod or tamebeastie mod but can confirm that great white gorillo is tamable, he nodded in acceptance of defeat, i nodded back, we became friends and massacred some south hivers, awesome

@Comrade Del all animals should grow as normal. It just takes time.

Hi there! No idea if anyone tested it out... but if anyone tamed Beak Things, do they eventually grow up to be Elder Beak Things or are those unique spawns? I'm curious if I should just try taming a regular one and have it grow that big or if there's no point if my end goal is an Elder one?
Petrus.91  [author] 11 Feb, 2023 @ 8:34am 
Not sure, it's possible raw meat was their preferred food so having that in the tamers inventory will increase your odds, not a guarantee though.

How do I tame a beak thing? I've tried so much
Petrus.91  [author] 10 Feb, 2023 @ 10:34am 
My mods are very unlikely to be compatible with any other mod unless they provide a patch along with it, I don't know how to.
Wisma99 10 Feb, 2023 @ 7:31am 
is compatible with "More Dogs"? How can i do that?
Sorry for my english
Datboi 27 Nov, 2022 @ 8:50pm 
@Petrus thanks!
Petrus.91  [author] 27 Nov, 2022 @ 10:58am 
They eat normal stuff, but they have a higher chance of becoming tamed if the tamer has the "right" food item in their inventory during tame attempt. If I remember correctly.
Datboi 27 Nov, 2022 @ 10:51am 
wait is the food something separate or is it just any food (ex: boneyard wolf and dried meat)
Petrus.91  [author] 26 Sep, 2022 @ 12:52pm 
Hi Decanius.
Is it possible? probably yes, however I have no intention of getting back into kenshi modding nor do I remember how to, so if you want any compatibility patch done you may have to figure it out yourself.
Barbifioutre 26 Sep, 2022 @ 12:33pm 
Hello kind creator, is it possible to make this fabulous mod function with Sailback, Processors and Old Ironsides ? Is it only possible ?
NinjaBeest 7 Jan, 2022 @ 1:36pm 
Compatibility with "Roaming Titans" mod pls?
LipeLip 11 Jul, 2021 @ 8:11pm 
The need of feed the beastie to tame it improve a lot the mod "Tame Beasties" but actually it's too hard to tame an animal. For example, to tame a Garu took me twenty attempts with Riceweed and I give up, bonedogs are easier but dificult too. It's faster make an ally with the mod "recruiteable prissioners" than tame a dog with "Inmersive Taming"

How can I feed my animal?
avolkovsk 7 May, 2021 @ 7:47pm 
Fair enough.
Guess it's time for some field tests...

Thanks again for your work.
Take care!
Petrus.91  [author] 7 May, 2021 @ 6:48am 
Thanks for the kind words!
I'm not entirely sure about the feeding without backpacks issue.
I remember seeing them eat out of food storage but I would not trust my memory at this point, so yeah.
As for why TameBeasties is more popular I guess because it came first and is straight to the point. Capture and tame.
avolkovsk 7 May, 2021 @ 6:12am 
Also, it seems to be far less popular than the "Tame Beasties" mod...
Does it run as smooth the former?
avolkovsk 7 May, 2021 @ 6:09am 
Hey,

Thanks for the quick reply, Petrus!

True... I got that statement wrong I guess...

Anyway, Kenshi is, in fact, a pretty hostile place... Even for modders... So no worries about the development.


Thank you for your hard work. It really makes the game far more enjoyable.


Btw, how is the animal starvation prevented without the backpacks? (I prefer this "no backpack version" still... Doesn't clutter the Barman's inventory...)
Petrus.91  [author] 7 May, 2021 @ 5:19am 
Although 'mostly done', nowhere does it state it's a work in progress.
The mod is as done as it's ever going to get. At least from my end.

Development hit a wall once I realised planned features would be impossible to implement with the modding tools that were available.
I have no plans to continue development on any Kenshi mods in the foreseeable future.
avolkovsk 7 May, 2021 @ 12:04am 
Hello,

Is this mod still work in progress, as stated in the description?
gayonne 3 Dec, 2020 @ 6:42pm 
How come there is no portrait for tamed animals?
BlueNukaGaming 17 Oct, 2020 @ 10:07am 
idk what eats what can i have help ? what do i feed a bull
Petrus.91  [author] 25 Aug, 2020 @ 6:09am 
@nicblessing
Not at all, go ahead
nicblessing 25 Aug, 2020 @ 12:20am 
@Petrus.91 you don't mind if i upload a patch for your mod to work with Diverse Fauna
Michael {United Critics} 10 Aug, 2020 @ 8:17am 
I would also want the crabs to be added & a list to show here or some document showing their food and so :)
gaming monke 1 Jun, 2020 @ 9:26am 
Is there anyway to find what food types each animal likes?
Rum Ham 24 May, 2020 @ 8:34pm 
Please add Crabs/MegaCrabs
Necrophagist 17 May, 2020 @ 8:58pm 
I guess human limbs would be required for most of the interesting ones.
radmet83 18 Mar, 2020 @ 4:26pm 
Robots don't eat, and you should have to do some kind of reprogramming, perhaps use an AI Core..
NotFresh 11 Mar, 2020 @ 6:30pm 
fail mod TameBeasties is better
Buttons 22 Dec, 2019 @ 10:59am 
How do we know what their favorite foods are? Sorry if this is something I should've learned in-game, I'm a newbie to this game.
Gorbozoid 2 Nov, 2019 @ 11:23am 
Put a beak thing in a cage and keep trying to feed it meat but it keeps failing. I try 20 times it not work what do i do
BluSinx 4 Sep, 2019 @ 10:23pm 
this mod don't work whit alpha
Melar Baram 31 Aug, 2019 @ 3:35pm 
Mules would be a cool addition. Since most newer players start at the hub, they're one of the most common early animals.

Thanks for everything so far!

What do i do with an Iron Spider? since it does not Eat?
// † HELLMAXXER † // 4 Jul, 2019 @ 9:30am 
i tried to tame an iron spider (lost spider and mark II) i have them both in cages and i tried giving them skeleton repair kits and talking to them with people that had them in their inventory but dont get the option to do anythin gexcept the standard cage interactions, is there anything i need to do before i can tame them?
WhaleAle 25 Jun, 2019 @ 9:46pm 
It dosent specify anywhere in the mod pack online, can someone tell me where i can buy or find traders who sell most of these animals, and also i attempted to tame the boss white gorillo yet it would not work, any reason why.
cerebus23 1 May, 2019 @ 2:16am 
oh nm that is the other taming mod duh, but i may give this a try if i can tame that gorillo before i have to give up.
cerebus23 1 May, 2019 @ 2:14am 
Yea i caught an alpha gorillo and put in the xl cage, but the lunch bag thingy did not work, BUT the backpack mod the gorillo or the black gorillo backpack fit the alpha, and he would eat meat cubes from the bag, so it will not starve to death.

BUT i have not been able to get any dialogue out of it, to try and tame it as per the mod insutions, it been like a week of feeding and healing it, seems to get randomly hurt in its cage maybe trying to get out? dunno just kinda stand there 24/7 nm what it is doing.

So can i ask is the alpha gorillo tamable at all? or am i wasting my time, i need a game import, but if i do until the gorillo is part of my squad, i lose it.

But yes you are correct if you pick up the beastie or just hold it, their hunger cheats up to max. but when you "take ownership" of it the hunger meter starts dropping like a stone. And place it in a cage or bed.


Petrus.91  [author] 27 Apr, 2019 @ 9:33am 
@Swine Skiver
Corpses give nothing to hunger but I believe it will eat from backpacks like any other animal, If it's not doing that then you could try saving and loading, that usually fixes things.
Soft & Wet 27 Apr, 2019 @ 6:36am 
So I have no clue if anyone else has this issue, but I tamed a Blood Spider, and I have no clue how to feed it. It went around eating corpses and it's hunger wasn't going up. I tried leaving some meat around for it, but it didn't work. Is there a way to feed it?
Petrus.91  [author] 16 Apr, 2019 @ 6:08am 
@IceBlade1992
I have a list on the nexus: https://www.nexusmods.com/kenshi/mods/157?tab=posts&BH=0
As for starving, I believe you can pick them up and walk a little and their hunger will fill magically.
And the dialogue is all a single pack so a cooldown affects all, removing the cooldown would result in easy nonstop taming and that's not very immersive.
If you want easy taming you could always switch to my other mod TameBeasties. :)
IceBlade1992 15 Apr, 2019 @ 3:05pm 
Hello is there a list of the % on the animals ben spending so mush on gutters and all starve to death befor i get to tame them only got 1 out of 9 and have been spamming the talk key?

Allso is there a reason i can only feed 1 at a time instead of 1 by 1?(example got 3 cages if i try on 1 it wont allow me on the other 2)
Petrus.91  [author] 15 Apr, 2019 @ 9:06am 
There are 28 different limbs not counting the robotic ones, including all of them into the carnivorous tames would take far more patience than I have and I'm fairly sure I would go insane if I tried. I like the idea tho, it makes sense.
Should work with Diverse Fauna from what I've been told.
