I dont want to sound bad but is there a way to make bloodhounds not spawn in the deadlands? In my personal case I feel like the inmertion is broken when theres actuall life in there. I really like the mod and the creatures but I dont want them in the deadlands.

Swishos. Can You please tell me how to add a backpack to blood dog hair ( bloodhounds don't have any backpack that fits )?

this is more of a limitation on the game engine. once things get big it struggles with pathing. (it's why the leviathan is so easy to exploit and kite to death with range) i can have a look in to getting it a bit better but i remember spending a lot of time tinkering with them to get them as a stable as they are XD
This could be one of the reasons the 'bandara' model wasn't used in the vanilla game, besides the whole it was meant to be a slave transport originally but mounts don't work...

Any chance the Bandaro's size could be changed so they aren't so awkward to use? I'm not talking about their physical look, more so the size the game thinks they are for pathing and such (if that's even a possibility). I realise they are large, but gameplay wise, it's incredibly difficult to take them anywhere due to the often weird geometry of the landscape and cities.

@NinjaBeest Hey that's awesome ^^ thanks!

@falsetruth1988 i don't believe this mod adds an alpha bull so it could be vanilla or maybe a different mod?

Does wild alpha bull come from this, or is it base game?

Made a TameBeasties patch for this mod! :)

@Rydicc we removed this from Genesis in favour for a much better animal mod in the end ^^ This one is really outdated at this point, though it should still function as a solo mod. There are just mods out there that have done it better ^^.

Are you sure? It is not listed in the mod list of genesis, there are 2 other mods listed of you tho.

thanks man. loving genesis, thanks for all the work you guys do :)

@Darkphaze no Genesis already has this plus a bunch more when it comes to animals ^^

Swishos, is this mod needed with genesis installed?

for some reason bloodhounds stopped spawning, but reading this leads me to believe that is other mod conflicting, I guess I had to check every mod... jfc

@skieth or you can make a dog bowl or the other animal food container and they will eat from there like all the other animals

@Skieth Throw the food on the floor.

where can i find the bone dog alpha back pack, i cant feed him and hes about to starve

@Swishos Thank you for your time! Overall, I love the mod. If the Bandera was a little smaller, it would probably work, but as it is, I can't have one follow me around because I won't notice it get stuck on something and suddenly it's half-way across the map from the squad. The rest of the Alphas are just brilliant.

@ministerphobia currently not but might be something i can look in too when i have more time. I want to be able to come back to this mod at some point and give it a deserved upgrade aha

Is there any way to get this without the Bandara addition? I find they get stuck on terrain far too much.

Firstly, it is wonderful mod. Thank you for your effort and time.

I have a question about bandara backpack model. Are they staying "inside" the animal? 'Cuz they are not seen on my "pack bandara"s. It would be nice to see a bandara with backpacks on it.

Thanks Swishos!

when animals are babies they get a % stat cut so for example at 0.1 growth there stats are also nerfed to 0.1. This is just how the games growth system works, so as your dog gets older its stats will level out including its speed. ^^ just good luck getting to fully grown without dying :D

And to be clear it's the Alpha Bonedog with the run speed issue not the character.

@Swishos Why in the Guy with a Wolf start is the max run speed 11MPH? I even edited the stats in FCS and it still won't break 11 MPH at 100 athletics. It's just too slow to even follow me and be effective.

@Swishos
I'll give it a try then when I find one, thank you!

@djinnxy
@Xyconis

Some used to be tamable with that mod but i have not tried it in a while.

Does it work with TameBeasties?

Has anyone been able to tame any of these?

wow, thank u so much!

On a side note i will return to this mod eventually to add new content but for now i'll just be patching it. With all my modding time going in to Genesis once that project is complete i intend on just improving my existing mods instead of starting on a new one ^^

If you want to keep up to date on the progress on that mod we have a group here with weekly dev blogs and will give you an idea on when i would be close to finishing it :) https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/groups/projectgenesiswo

@Cianuro so sorry i did patch this but i thought i had released it already. This issue is now fixed

Hey pal, you still haven't touched that thing about the bugmaster, isn't difficult and all to do the changes but it's kinda boring to do that change in multiple pc, i'm new with workshop and i really don't know if i can update your file, but i dont have any problem to do that if u need it. Just replacing the "bugmaster" on "leader" of the wanderer squad for the default "wanderer" will do the magic tho if anyone wanna know how to fix it. I love your mod and that's the only major issue because ruins everything related to the default wanderer squad.

Oh god I know what this is but I'm away from computer till tomorrow so can't switch it back. I was using that as a test for a blood spider queen aha. Will fix asap

FYI your mod makes the default wanderer start as the Bugmaster. bounties and all...

i have not tried it personally but ive been told some of them do. would need to test it before i could say for certain though, sorry i cant help more atm.

One other question, are these alpha animals tameable with the TameBeasties mod?

Hmmm that's interesting I'll try and have a look later at that and see what's causing it. It's weird because my mod doesn't touch the wanderer start. Can't look now though as I'm at work ^^ thanks for the info though

I don't make mods for this game, so I'm unsure how a conflict would cause that. I'm using the mod compilation called The World Divided and when I put Alpha Animals into it, the Wanderer start immediately becomes bugged.

um just had a look now and there is nothing in the mod files that mention bugmaster the only start is the new one added 'a guy and a wolf' so mightbe another mod causing the conflict, or just an issue with another mod in general.

i will have to have a looksie at that but im thinking its an old test start that was left in, thanks for letting me know

When I install this mod, it edits the vanilla start of the game and replaces it with an OP character named Bugmaster. Why is this?

Yeah I like that idea might add the chance for like a breeding couple to spawn, 2 adults and a couple of kids maybe. Kinda fits in with the lore then as u could say they only group when they have infants, while usually solitary

If you don't mind me throwinga suggestion, Gorillos could use a squad in which they are in packs, because they are supposed to be threatning, big monsters on paper, but in practice they get messed up pretty bad because they travel alone and have to contend with packs all the time.

Also the implementation of "baby gorillos" would be nice, because you cannot find any infant gorillos anywhere.

Not for now was thinking of working them but they already have the great white gorillo which is kind of an alpha version...might make it have a rare chance to spawn roaming about though...or add in the black gorillo as that's in the game files just not added I believe

No changes for Gorillos at all?

yeah been thinking of nerfing the Alpha gutter and bandaras as i did notice fully grown they are little dwayne johnsons...might change it up so they are tanky but have poor attack more akin to the leviathan.

on that note i'm looking at adding an Alpha Leviathan just want to work out how and where it will work as its pathfinding will be god awful will have to live somewhere open with little restrictions to avoid it getting stuck and sniping from a distance with ease.

suprisingly this mod exactly what i expected.
yep, practically half of my hiver lost their limbs after this mod.
plenty o things i noticed tho.
-if you dont have a squad of 15+ with 35+ stat, and you saw peeps to the bloodhounds
-Bandara either pet or wild are HECKIN STRONG.
-i witnessed a an alpha Gutter tearing apart hivers nest.....

what i can feel cheaty is that pack bandara is surprisingly really cheap, i mean these lads only had 2.5x hunger meanwhile Beak thing had like 5.0x hunger. with a body like that you'd thought its somewhere between 3.5-4.5, but idk.

........
will there be an alpha leviathan?
like, an "Alpha" leviathan.... ?

no probs always reply asap if im online ^^ and if the modder who done animal traders wants to add these critters in to his mod then he's welcome too...but i dont really want to steal his idea and just copy it in to my mod if that makes sense.

ok would be cool to work well with the animal traders mod. :D Thank you for the quick response by the way
