Spotted an issue and it's a bit hit or miss.

Managed to recruit an Iron Spider from the Deadlands, but it couldn't equip any spider packs. Didn't try the magnetic chests (and isn't it weird that those and leviathan pockets are sold in Squin, but not by the Skeletons?) because I didn't know they existed. Released it after I realized I couldn't use it to haul my loot back to base. Strangely it immediately joined the Tech Hunter faction and apparently turned off it's AI package.

Recruited a Great Maned Wolf, no issues. Then I nabbed a Foul Hound and noticed TWO problems.
A) It can't wear ANY kind of pack, even the lunch pack.
B) It will not eat out of food stores. I have to either leave food on the ground or in a party member's backpack.

Not sure how much is your work and what's an issue with the original TB/Foul Hound mods, but thought you should know. I'd poke around in the FCS but I'm running into the issue where it won't recognize steam mods.

Okay, spotted the mod on Nexus and downloaded it there to check things in FCS. The issue with the robot spiders is that the backpacks were enabled for domesticated varieties only, which are apparently a separate species from the wild robot spiders. Oversight maybe, or do the wild spiders have vertical launch cells for missiles, and that's why we can't put anything on their backs?

Doggos packs and generic lunch boxes were the same issue, Foul and Vile hounds hadn't been added to the race list.

I'm going to assume the other issues are in the original mods, since your patch is really just forwarding changes...

i have stumbled upon a bug or rather missing feature. the animal lunch bag cant be equipped on some varieties of bonedogs (such as mutt, golden wolf, silver wolf, great maned wolf) they were all bought from a canine vendor aside from the mutt. i also caught a bonedog from the holy nation outlaws (it just randomely started feeding off of me and didnt go away so i imprisoned it and recruited it) and this one could equip it.

how do u recruit grievewrathes?? u go through a bunch of dialogue to recruit them, i.e. give them meat and even w meat in your inventory it wont let you recruit them
