Tamable Seekers

Tamable seekers not tamable! (or breedable)
So I'm trying to tame some of these suckers, I've wanted them for some time now. However after knocking out several of them, they appear to still be like vanilla where they do not have accessible inventories (like snakes, which are 'passive' tames). If I forcetame or dotame, I'm told that they can only be tamed while awake where the modpage reads a knockout.


Attached are screenshots of taming troubles.


Through the use of spawning them in and forcetaming when awake, I was able to amass a group. I built a breeding pen for them, but they do not breed either- it does say male and female, however they don't seem to have a mate boost and while say 'ready to mate' there is no breeding occuring.


I want a pack of flying squid bats.
Edit: oops, same screen twice.

During my testing they were able to breed and had mate boosting, could be force tamed etc. not sure what is going on with this though.

Is your testing in singleplayer? This is on a dedicated unofficial server. Maybe that's why? Nonetheless I'm going to do another dino wipe and see if it's something funny going on. If not, I can use ACM to spawn pre-tamed Seekers since I just want a flock of muderbats to run around with. I'll report back if there's something new.


Oh, I was able to use the Dino Aphrodesiac mod to breed them, along with S+ Mutator... unfortunately I also made the rest of my breeding stock gestate by accident. That was a mess.


Update: Another dino wipe and new breeding stock, they are properly breeding now. However an attempt to tame one yielded the same results as before.

I did notice this was an issue with the mod after some testing on my server, i have just updated it fixing not being able to tame them. Thank you for your report!
