I know they're Boomrats and Boomalopes

but this one really should be called a Bombat instead of a Boombat.

how would a boom (explode) animal produce neutromaine (non explosive medical compound) ?

What

I'd need the full Hugslib log to know what is patching things wrong there! Both the Blizarisk and the Boombat have no code (well, ranged attacks on the Blizzarisk, but they wouldn't cause job errors)

Koala litter size is 1-2.5 im not sure how they could have 2.5 babies...

No SPider?

Scheduled for a change. Keep an eye on my Reddit account if you want to chime in

KANGAROOS ARE AWESOME

sadly trainability none?

description disappointed us :(
Sarg Bjornson  [author] 17 May, 2022 @ 7:44am 
Family, not Order. And anteaters belong to neither, you are probably thinking of the echidna
CTH2004 17 May, 2022 @ 7:39am 
You know, platapi are monotremes. There is one other surviving monotreme, the Anteater.
Longman 13 May, 2022 @ 12:58pm 
I've tamed the kangaroo because the description said "can be trained easily to become animal super soldiers" yet Kangaroo trainability is "none"... and *puf* goes my plan of having an army of murderoos protecting my hippie tribe.
Sarg Bjornson  [author] 1 May, 2022 @ 2:13pm 
That's just because they are not pen animals

Hi there, I love using this mod since I like to do a lot of animal work. One issue I've run into now is getting the animals added by this mod to show up in the 'Animals' tab in the pen marker menu.

For example, I have a group of Boombats that I would like to manage inside of the pens I have built for other farm animals. When I go to the pen marker and select animals, they are not in the list, so pawns won't auto manage them within that space. Would it be possible to add them to the list? Thanks!

The platypus needs to produce milk alongside the eggs.
blackrave 17 Mar, 2022 @ 10:26am 
Oh, the irony...
I think it's because of emus.
Australian government probably still has PTSD from losing the war.
That's why they refused classification.
Proof that next time emus should finish the job...

Love the "boombat" idea. Brilliant!
CringlChisps 8 Mar, 2022 @ 2:12am 
fuck the government's censorship people will buy rimworld either way; this ban just means that they'll buy it where the government can't cash in
Lasagna 7 Mar, 2022 @ 3:14pm 
somewhat ironic that the Australian government just banned Rimworld.

i got a suggestion for april fools: when it's april fools make random stuff upside down
life4trinity 3 Feb, 2022 @ 4:05pm 
Bro what is this, Kangaroos are fucken useless the cunts can't even fight.
DuGalle 3 Feb, 2022 @ 10:51am 
Small mistake in the platypus description, it should be "its venomous ankle spurs" not "it's". Inconsequential, really, but I'm a pedantic bastard
Chronicus 12 Jan, 2022 @ 10:43am 
Kangaroo tranability nerf got yet another rimworlder. Wasted 606 silver on a mating pair of roo's only to realize they are no longer trainable. -_-
Prototype_Fae 10 Nov, 2021 @ 9:49pm 
As an Australian, i love this
AverageAvenue 27 Sep, 2021 @ 2:21pm 
need boomaroos!!! please lol i dont think itll happen but hey, worth a shot..
Coldbody° 16 Sep, 2021 @ 2:20pm 
I see im not the only one who bought Kangaroos to be trained to fight and was baited...plz update that <3
AzEl 2 Sep, 2021 @ 10:58am 
I also bought kangaroos only to find out they are not trainable. Really should update the description or the trainability.
JACK 13 Aug, 2021 @ 12:14pm 
aw damn. guess I wasted my money on the kangaroos in my current file. the change strikes me as really strange, hope it eventually gets reverted. fwiw love the rest of the mod/series!
omatsuri mambo 7 Aug, 2021 @ 8:38am 
whoops nvm, just checked it ingame and it seem like only the trainability was removed, but its still an area animal.
omatsuri mambo 4 Aug, 2021 @ 8:26pm 
@Aussin they turned into pen animals in 1.3. imo i hope this changes, I miss my bionic super soldier kangaroo army.
Aussinw 31 Jul, 2021 @ 3:29am 
I'm confused about the kangaroos, it says they can be trained for combat, but I don't see any option in game to train them?
Exion 31 Jul, 2021 @ 2:35am 
I was installing 1 by 1 the mods I like, mostly are from the "Vanilla Expanded set", and when I install this one a red bug line appears. Any idea about how to solve it?
Corey.young 29 Jul, 2021 @ 3:17am 
Sorry if this has been commented already, but a Dingo would be a viable addon
Great mod, thanks :)
LeftBower 28 Jul, 2021 @ 2:22am 
I do enjoy this, but as an Aussie there are some problems:
- Kangaroos having aggressiveness 0% is straight up incorrect. Big reds will start a punch-on with a moving vehicle, and won't always come off worse than small cars either. 10% would be fine as this seems to be a smaller roo species.
- Koalas should yield less meat - they're all diseased and also mostly eat toxic leaves, so you'd need to be pretty desperate to eat them.
- Boombats, but no wombats?
- Boombats seem to spawn in higher numbers than I'd expect.
- Cassowaries might be too aggressive for balance reasons, but would make sense in rainforest biomes.
- Goannas and Echidnas would also be cool. Goannas particularly would fill a larger lizard role, one worth hunting but not so large as Komodo Dragons.
- Snakes, lol. Taipans, red-belly blacks, and carpet pythons would be the most iconic picks, although the pythons would be the most mechanically different from the already existing cobra option.

I was expecting man-hunting emus and a shit ton of spiders but this is good enough.

@AUS-Z Till you make a Koala Bear hat out of that cheeky ****** that decides today's the day to mess with some humans and go all manhunter.
AUS-Z 29 Jun, 2021 @ 12:55pm 
steve irwin would approve
Excel.exe 24 Jun, 2021 @ 7:55pm 
very disheartened you didn't make a boomalope version of the kangaroo named kangaboom
Niamhicus Elerita 21 Jun, 2021 @ 5:37pm 
... How have I not found them yet. I am sorry. u..u'' I wasn't aware my comment did anything more than increase the mod's visibility.
Oskar Potocki  [author] 21 Jun, 2021 @ 8:51am 
Cassowaries are vanilla.
Niamhicus Elerita 21 Jun, 2021 @ 8:25am 
After finding out my partner didn't know Australia had horses, realizing brumby is an Australian term, and going down a rabbit hole of showing her animals I grew up around. I have to say, I am terribly disappointed there isn't a bilby here. My next one would be cassowary, but bilby's are cute. And easter-themed (over here, at least). Not that it's easter, but still. /Chocolate/.
Soma 3 Apr, 2021 @ 4:24pm 
I am guessing I am not the only person to point this out, but in case it hasn't been said:

Naming the Wombat animals Boombats is totally wasting a perfect pun.

You could have named them "Bombats"
Sam Look 19 Mar, 2021 @ 6:42pm 
The only real bug I have with this is the rate of appearance. Temperate forests are completely infested with Australians!!! I feel they should be slightly more rare than that... Absolutely loving having the biodiversity though with all the extra animal mods enabled!

ok
Sarg Bjornson  [author] 11 Mar, 2021 @ 10:46pm 
Good news: your modlist is not a toilet, so it can't clog! But no, in all seriousness, these are conceived as modular, and they'll never be put together.
