Guinea Pig Farming

Description
This mod adds a wool item and fur harvesting property for non-lethal shepherding of guinea pigs, which everyone knows are the second cutest animal on the rim.

I had a brief conversation on Reddit with Tynan a few years ago, after I had raised the fact that chinchillas live in deserts, not jungles as Rimworld spawned them, because rain would kill them. Tynan informed me that in the future, chinchillas are actually genetically modified to be much more resilient. I would imagine that whoever unf*cked their genetics would also have made them more economically useful, into an animal whose fur can be repeatedly harvested. My first mod (Chinchilla Farming) further emphasized the entirely canon nature of genetically modified space chinchillas.

But why would they have stopped there? What about the second cutest animal? This mod lets you shear wool from guinea pigs, so that you can make a nice toque to muffle their incessant squeaking.

Yes, it is working in 1.5 and probably always will.

np! For the future, if I get hit by a bus and can't "update", the odds of me having to actually change anything in this mod are basically zero. I have changed nothing since 1.2. You should be able to ignore the warnings.

Since I love piggies, I don't want to have to kill them for resources, but I do need to feed and clothe my dingus tribal colony. At least I can preserve lil piggies AND protect my half-naked idiots with cozy clothes! Thank you! (Got the chinchilla one too because they're also too cute for me to kill and feel okay about it.)

Yeah, the idea was to de-graze the map (300x300 mountain). But teh funny thingw as, that 2 guinea pigs bite a chimera to death! was a very funny stream and if you're free coming stureday, take a look 20pm CET. Streamer's name is Defoss. I'll be there as well :)

Cool :P My best one so far has been an orbital chinchilla farm/battlestation, with my other mod and Save our Ships 2. Guinea pigs eat a lot in this game, the vanilla implementation is for an animal 5x their real life size, and I didn't change it for balance reasons.

If you want to see something hilarious, I suggest watching Defoss on twitch next saturday. He got 222 guinea pigs per viewer trolling. I wonder how much wool he can gather and how many meerlies will become wild before the map is razed grassless xD
