Cats Hunt For Fun

Description


Cats will hunt for fun, not just when they are hungry.

Adds a new activity for cats to hunt when not doing anything else.
The hunting attack is always a surprise attack so the risk for the cat to get hurt is minimal.
Cats will not try to hunt when hurt or downed.
They will also not attack until the prey is downed or killed but can choose to just hit it once and walk away. (Cats are like that)
If the gift-option is active, cats can take a valid prey in any health-state and leave it as a gift to their owner.

There are options in the mod for
- Range to search for prey in
- How likely it is that a cat will attack a prey in range
- How likely it is that a cat will bring a prey in range as a gift to their owner
- Relative body-size to attack
- Hunt only in home area
- To not hunt animals belonging to the player colony
- If wild animals should hunt for fun as well (they will ignore the above limitations regarding area and colony animals)

What animals are considered "Cats" can be selected as well.
There is built in support for some common cat-mods but if anyone is missing you can add it as well.

Or go nuts and enable it for wild thrumbos and try to survive!

lol, next time I play Rimworld, I am going to make all the many species of dragons in my game count as cats. I fear the ecology may not survive.

@larry.rathbun The cats should only hunt within their bodysize limits in the options, anything else is unintended

@Mlie I appreciate your response. If you saw my earlier one I deleted, apologies, I was in a pissy mood due to work.

I was more looking for the short answer of "that's intended behavior" or "maybe adjust setting x". If your response indicates an actual issue, I am just not going to worry about it. I have way too many mods and too much time invested in the save.

My cats keep trying to hunt a herd of Gazelle. I have them set to hunt about 80% body size (chosen to get rat in the displayed list) Gazelle is not in the list, yet all they do is try to hunt gazelle, even the kittens - born today - are fanatic gazelle hunters. Any ideas?

@VISilt They will defend themselves, but they should get stunned at the first attack so it would be a unlucky cat that fails to defend itself

Is there a way to prevent the rats from biting my cats limbs off while they play together?

I had the exact same issue (log spam) as the poster below. I know my log is long, I'll try to investigate best to my abilites.
