I love this mod. The only drawback was the labels attached to the dots drowning out the map. For those looking to have only the dots show up, go into the workshop folder and find

AnimalMapping.lua
(3409035433\mods\animal\common\media\lua\client)
Open it in Notepad++ or whatever

delete the follwing function to its end
local function getTranslatedAnimalName(animalType)


Then, inside another function
local function drawAnimalOnMap(map, animal, isMinimap)
find and delete these 3 lines
local animalName = getTranslatedAnimalName(animal:getAnimalType() or "Unknown")
local gender = animal:isFemale() and getText("IGUI_Animal_Female") or getText("IGUI_Animal_Male")
local displayText = string.format("%s / %s", animalName, gender)

Hope this helps. I haven't landed any errors with it yet

i really like this mod but it increases the lag potential and decreases the FPS (at least for me) significantly. From 80 FPS to 15 FPS at times or when there we're like 20 animals close it dropped to 4 FPS.

i disabled the mod afterwards and now the game runs fine again.
The insane load is also visible in the debug log where it write like up to 100 Messages in a few seconds.

Doesn't seem to work as of the most recent B42 patches, (at least on existing saves) in case anyone else is wondering!

does this not work for b42 unstable? it doesn't show up in the mod list.

I really like your mod, but I was wondering if it's possible to have just the yellow dot appear on the mini-map without the text below it. I think it would look awesome that way!

Very good MOD! Nice work. :) Is it possible to turn off visibility on the minimap in the sandbox?

There really needs to be less text, it says the sex 3 times. All it needs is (species), (sex). Symbols would be better but lest text is better. Really good so far.

@Dudah, had the same issue for other mods, i believe its a B42 issue, to fix you just have to go to your properties and verify files. After i did this mods started properly downloading again.

Hello! Your mod isn't showing up for me in the game's mod menu, isn't it named the same as here?

Why does this mod override the crafting action? (media\lua\shared\TimedActions\ISCraftAction.lua)

any chance for either sandbox options or a version without rats? really cool mod all around either way
can you make a mod that shows zombies on the mini map?
