Original Description:
This uses an xpath patch to reduce the {maxPreyBodySize} of foxes, preventing them from preying on humans (such as your colonists) or large animals. For the sake of realism, it also changes the {foodType} to make them omnivores and opportunistic egg-eaters instead of strict carnivores.

It breaks my suspension of disbelief that the foxes in RimWorld will prey on humans. In real life, their diet consists primarily of small creatures like insects, rodents, birds and, when available, eggs. We never hear of man-eating foxes because there aren't any. Foxes would not survive as a species if they readily attacked humans or animals bigger than themselves.

Notes:
Lynx are now less suicidal as well.

One of my colonists just got attacked by a fox within the first few hours of the run and I remembered this old mod. Thanks for the update.

Can't believe this was never made, subtly, into vanilla. Oldest mod in my list!

Updated for 1.5. No changes made. Let me know if any bugs pop up.
Cheers.

I was wondering if anyone was taking care of this mod. Thanks for keeping it updated!

Ah yes, wild will hunt tame regardless of pawn kind I'm pretty sure.

I should probably add that I am pretty sure it was the wild foxes hunting the tamed ones that had yet to be released if that helps for anything. Not sure if wild was hunting wild. But yea they killed everything else on the map really.

Updated for 1.4

As for foxes being cannibalistic, that might be a separate mod. I'm guessing that there is nothing else for them to hunt and so they are turning on each other. I'll add it to a list of things to look into.

Would it be possible to make it so foxes don't hunt other foxes? I released a ton of foxes and they are hunting each other now ;~;
