Superceded by Animal Apparel: Basic Armor- https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3513849448

Pro tip for the people: For some unexplainable reason, the mod maker DELETED the Universal armor from the steam files. if you want universal armor, make sure to go to the GITHUB page, go to Content -> defs -> then download everything in the ThingDefs_Placeholders . Then you want to replicate the placeholder file in your mod file, and add them all in!

The universal armor shows up then disappears from crafting benchs, I believe it is bugging out or creating its own error. If there a work around I would like to know. I can just make them with admin mode and seen it 4 times on bench but gone now. I also have tried turning the vanilla framework both true and false.

how to get universal armore?

can you change the default setting somehow?

Found a soft incompatibility with shield belts. Animals are set to “Anything” upon birth. And if you happen to have shield belts as an allowed belt utility item, they will wear it. Once on, they’re invisible to our naked eyes… so we have to manually change their apparel policy. Once you do, they’ll drop their shield belt and magically show up. But worry not… they are seen by the colonists and enemies… but you’ll just be surprised they’re doing something with an invisible being. Lol!

Since this mod has been reported working in 1.5 I added it to the No Version Warning-mod
https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2599504692

This mod is pure XML and some textures, the code it requires is in the Animal Gear mod which is updated to 1.5 so this mod works flawlessly in 1.5.

Paused my game to let the comments know of the travesty that huskies can wear armor, but not helmets. BS, I want to protect my doggos as much as possible gerddernit

:( tho I hope Owlchemist is okay , soo many of is amazing creations are outdated now

I really love but also respect his work mentality and optimisation endeavors.

As a Thrumbo lover this mod need patch 1.5 <33

We need a hero for this mod to 1.5

Ah, appears this wasn't getting along with Compositable Loadouts.

My animals aren't equipping and I'm not quite sure why.

if youre having issues with the animal equipping gear not automatically, go to apparel policy for the animal, deselect all and then enable animal apparel only. worked for me.

this also works for preventing animals you dont want to equip things on, just deselect all apparel.

Day 1,034: still not sure if this mod is broken or not, some people say it is, others say it's not, and everything is all over the place, which reminds me, note to self: I really should clean my room

i am using it right now and my game is not lagging and animals are not invisible lol

people say this works with 1.5 but as soon as i equipped a saddle the game started lagging and all animals turned invisible. Fixed when uninstalled. So no i would say this has issues now.

1.5?

i have this mod and animal gear and my animals wont equip anything. I have the equipment in a stockpile on the ground in my barn where they have access to it and thier apperal policy is set to allow them to wear it but they just ignore it. they will haul the equipment if i change the stockpile zone. would love any advice as this mod is a must for me.

It's not RPG inventory, I'm not sure what's causing this. Oh well.

Animals keep putting on shield belts and turning invisible while tanking tps
Doing some testing as I suspect it's this mod and RPG inventory not playing nice together

im quite certain you need to subscribe to a specific patch that adds compatiblity with a bunch of mods

Doesn't really work on 1.5
My modded animals keep wearing stuff only for humans (shield belts specifically) and then they're invisible and I can't take it off of them

@erde I can confirm it works for 1.5 even though it has 1.4 tag.

That doesn't sound like confirming anything other than the in-game supported version check working as intended.

@Velxra
Animal Gear and Animal Equipment provide different things. What I concluded from what Dylan said, you can run this 1.4 version in 1.5 game just fine as long as you use his 1.5 Animal Gear mod with it. Or that's at least how I understood it, but if I am having a brainfart here, do correct me.

@Velxra - you should still be able to use 1.4 Animal Equipment with the 1.5 Animal Gear Base/Framework

I just updated AnimalGear to 1.5 and you should be able to just use AnimalEquipment with it like before (even without the 1.5 version-tag) (sorry for the long wait for an update)

update?

1.5?

update?

please update to 1.5 and fix incompatibilities if possible

Still works for me in 1.5, at least the flak and plate armor/helmet. Haven't made any others. My wargs, german shepherds, and timber wolves are wearing them though they still don't show unless you look at their gear. Only DLC I don't have is Anomaly though.

Edit: If you don't have an apparel policy for your animals they will wear everything near them, I had a timber wolf wearing all the gloves I had saved for cold snaps lol. The mod is definitely still usable in its not updated state but you will have some funky things to work around.

I've noticed a problem and it's a bit one:
Animals don't have a torso, they have a body.
So the armor from this DOESN"T apply when they have a body and not a torso because the code sees they don't have a torso and doesn't apply the armor to them.

1.5 ples

1.5 ples

1.5^^

1.5?

also(sorry to keep commenting) i had the thrumbo wear riding gear before and that worked ok

after i put the shield belts on two thrumbos i saved and exited looking for a invisible dye mod, when i loaded my save(without adding a mod, there wasnt an invisible dye) it would crash after 1~2 seconds, the mod list is big big but its also very stable so im confident it was the belts + something

can you add something for toggling the visibility of each piece of clothing? the shield belt on the thrumbo is crazy ugly lmao

does anyone have this bug where an animal wear a shield belt it sometimes will class all the animals as pawns or something

I thought this mod fully replaced the old one, is the old Animal Gear still in fact a requirement for this mod to work?

@Dr. Cock Read the last FAQ

Why is this mod such a big download? is it stupid?

I prefer colonies with huge number of animals. I decided to try this animal clothing mod.
But I'm freaking tired that all new tamed/born animal run to wear shield belts and other pawn's special clothes.

Can you please create default preset with Only Animal Apparel and force it to every new animal in colony!? Honestly, without an option like that, for me it is nearly unplayable.

I can't seem to get my horse to drop it's headwear, it has a cloth piece on but I am in a cold area so made a better insulated piece, but I cannot force drop the headwear and it is not auto equipping the new piece. Am I doing something wrong or is the function not part of the mod?

The universal armor doesn't seem to upgrade the stats for animals form the Biomes prehistoic! mod. Please fix. Thanks

Still seems broken for horses, even the forked version from git has the same problem. Actually its worse from git cause horses equipped with something double in size. Guess i need to find a different animal for my colony.
