Thank goodness. Now my battle animals can accompany the troops of the Butlerian Jihad in fighting the Thinking Machines in orbital space.

It is, hopefully unsurprisingly, compatible with Animal Apparel: Basic Armor: https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3513849448 and can be equipped alongside the armor. Cannot be equipped at the same time as shield belts and jump packs however.

@s_m_w
Is this compatible with any mod that adds animal armor?
I'd love to send my battle beast hordes into combat on orbital missions.
This will be very important for my Butlerian Jihad run.
Humanity and its combat animals must be able to contest the mechanoids in orbit.
And we must be able to meet and exceed them in terms of numbers of combatants as well.

is it possible to have a version of this for colonists? the current vac armor options are quite limited.

@KabongoDynasty
Select one of your colonists, right click the belt item. There should be an option to equip it on a target (i.e. the animal you want it on).

probably a dumb question but how can i get my animals to equip the belt?

Nimitz says "Thank you!"
(Bonus points for those who get the reference.)

I also had a good laugh at the image.

THANK YOU

@Aphasia
Fixed! They can equip them now.

sapient animals cant equip this :sob:

Can't wait to try this out. My first adventure resulted in my starting cat dying. RIP Yaya, we'll see you again on the Glitterworlds.

Thank you. Just picture my shock the first time I got in orbit with pets only have to all take damage the moment a pawn open the door step outside of the ship and I didn't make an animal safe zone as there was not airlocks on the ship. Must give dogos belt.

great job this is the item I never knew I needed - that said this would also be awesome as a emergency human version for people without a vac suit to temporary have to run outside or hull breach

Thanks, this was an unforgivable omission on Tynan's part.

Could something like this be created for pawns, sort of like to have on for an emergency for a few seconds/minutes of exposure?

I don't know if this is because of mods or vanilla behavior, but my pawns tend to love to take a quick walk in vacuum without a suit before I remember to restrict them to the ship lol.

thrumbos in spaaaaaaaaaaaace!

Won't save the dog I unwisely started my ship scenario with but my future pets thank you

this is adorable

Lovely! Can't wait to try this!

This way, I'll be able to take squads of mutant war-beasts to fight mechanoids, pirates and scavengers in orbit. Sweet.

very nice pigs in space
