Honestly, they may need an update to change their lifespan. I embark with possums a lot and tend to have a death wave kill all of them before they can reproduce.

Hey, I was looking at your mod and noticed it could be made more compatible/efficient by using some modding techniques that just replace the necessary tags in the original raw, without cutting and recreating the creature. It will make the mod smaller, load faster, better and remove any compatibility issues with other mods that also make changes to the opossum and should make it really easy to avoid bugs and what not. Feel free to use it in your mod if you'd be inclined to do so: https://pastebin.com/u6jCx0Ru

This rules. A friend of mine had a suggestion to pass on -- with how war dogs change sprites from regular dogs, war possums should totally change to a screaming version of the regular sprite.

Possum has been a short hand for Opossum for as long as the word Opossum has been in the English language, ~400 years since it was derived from the Powhatan language, and both Virginia Opossums and Brushtail Possums are referred to as Opossum and Possum interchangeably.

@Stogie this information is required reading by federal law. anyone who doesn't know the life expectancy of a opossum is a criminal

Why do you know so much about possums, Elsie?
Elsie  [author] 16 Dec, 2022 @ 12:30pm 
did not think anyone would actually use this mod, i'm glad people like it!

i am considering changing the litter size of possums to be more in line with real life, where there can be as many as 20 born at a time with 13 of them viable. obviously 13 is way too high but i was thinking around 8 or so average, since they're also very short lived at 4 years max.

i'm also considering adding the ability to hunt vermin as possums eat insects as well as small critters opportunistically. it might be a bit much for one to take down a cave spider but it would also be kinda funny.

lastly with my personal version of the mod i have it set to where possums are considered to be common domestic pets and can be picked on embark but i feel like that might be a bit too easy if i implement the above changes. either way, update soon :)

opossums are my favorte animals so this is automatically the best mod for this game that could possible exist.
