Hi there, any mentionable differences to Release Animals into Wild concerning compatibility with other mods and stability etc.?

banished animals remain on the map as wild animals. they can be hunted, preyed upon, re-tamed, or they may willfully leave the map if their food sources run out. banished predators may attack your colonists for food

Will banished animals leave the map or stay? That's the whole point of being able to banish animals in Vanilla only during caravaning - you don't "keep" the animals at all. Also, since you mention RimHUD, could you add compatibility to the new 1.1 auto-sort feature, if not already done? Thanks!

this has been updated for 1.1

Hi @Big Gusty Wrench
No problem, usually there are more important things IRL :)
Thanks for a reply.

Hello, I will update for 1.1. It may not happen anytime soon though. My apologies!

Hi, do you plan to update to 1.1?

A good solution for those bouldermits that insist on constantly self-taming.

This makes me scared that an angry pack of wild humans will attempt to attack but then they will remember that one of the colony's people is their long-lost spouse and they will give up.

The game does seem to track some number of pawns existing in the 'world' that are not currently present on any of your colony tiles. So it may be possible to have banished animals return at a later point as part of events such as 'animals join' or 'manhunter pack'. That being said, the animal won't have any special memory of having been a member of you colony at a previous point. I could be wrong about all that, in which case I probably won't add any new functionality unless there's more demand for it.

Is there a way of having them rejoin the colony? Assuming the animal pawn(s) is saved to the world, they could join in an event such as "Huskies join" ..maybe even come back with a pack of their own?
...Whilst I'm being ambitious, a revenge manhunter pack? The banishment of Snuggles really wrecked her mentality, why would master do this? Master needs to have his nose rubbed in it.

Heyyyyyyyyyy this mod is amazing and no glitches! Now i can banish my fission mouse, Zippo, an alpha animal who got his tail and paw torn off by a prehistoric megafauna creature!

I object to the slaughtering _and_ banishment of Fluffies. Fluffies are gentle creatures that require nurturing and support, and should not be sent off alone into the cold, dark night.

nice stuff, the other day massive chicken just devour my crops.

Hello friends, this mod is now updated to work with RimHUD. Just make sure RimHUD is higher in the mod load order, otherwise the 'banish' button will not show up.

I'll take a look at it tomorrow probably, see if I can do anything about it

button doesn't appear on RimHUD

No problem :)

oh, thanks, i never noticed it

Banishing colonists is already built into the game. Click on your colonist, then click the "character" tab. The button is on the top right side of the window that opens up. If you would like though, I can also add the button as a shortcut on the inspect pane for colonists, like it is for colony animals. This would remove needing to click on the "character" tab

can you make some mod for banishing colonists? like some random buy joins you, hated work types: EVERYTHING + he is a pacifist...

You cannot. However, until the animal actually leaves the map, you are able to arrest/retame them

can you tell them to come back later?

Good question. I'll test it out and get back to you. My guess now would be that if you put rimhud higher in the mod load order than this mod that it will work

How does this fare with RimHUD?

Yes, that particular annoyance was the inspiration behind this mod

This will reduce the "Random Squirrel has self-tamed" annoyance levels by 90%

after a toxic fallout lasting for almost two seasons, all crops dead and no food, all but two colonists remain. unable to bring themselves to eat poor Puppers to save them selves, they release him into the wild and await their fate knowing Puppers will live on for them.

10/10 will starve again. still best mod

You are most welcome :)

thanks man, much appreciated :)

I was surprised too that this isn't built into the base game, especially considering things such as the mood debuff applied to a colonist when a bonded animal is banished were already built in to the storytelling engine, but not able to be triggered through normal in game means

why isnt this just part of the game

you sir are a legend
