@The Dutchman Never saw this mod. Thanks for showing me this!

No point in this mod. Xenobionic Patcher exists and was just updated

what @Tigerblut said, same here.

Hey! Any plans for 1.5 update? I NEED this. My custom creatures need legs and new hearts.

I'm confused, is this mod only for those wishing to make creatures compatible with the mod or for players to improve how it works with animals? I've never needed it before using both a dog said and xenobionic patcher.

Thank you so much for the update!

I've uploaded a version bump, should be good to go once Steam is done scanning it.

Anyone aware of mods that do similar things?

Really hoping for an update on this. Understand if you can't, but will be thankful if you do.

@lbeaston Hey thanks for the great mod. I was wondering if an update to 1.4 is planned.

If a dog starts talking to you, worry. ;)

PLEASE don't be a furry.

what bodytype would i use for a thrumbo

How could I know if Vanilla Genetics Expanded has support for this mod?

This works fine with things like VE - Vikings, right? I can't seem to modify my Fenrir or heal its scars.

Hi, I have a new mod that I like called Milk Dragon, but I'm not sure if the patcher is working because I can't seem to replace their body parts with prothstetics.

@Dominus-kun preferable after the animal mods. you can look into Rimpy for modsorting it has a way better algorithm then modmanager

Hey, i just wanted to ask where to put A dog said and the patcher. Before all the animal mods or after them ?

Yeah that looks like the line

i am trying to patch a mod for myself and is this the line which i need to edit
<ThingDef ParentName="AnimalThingBase" Name="OriBase">?

its the first thing atop that i can see that defines a new animal type. am i right though?

@Frigglish animal farm taught us that a wing is an ambulatory limb and is therefore countable as a leg

is there a need for this mod if you also have "Xenobionic Patcher"?

Please consider updating this Mod to V1.3 if you can. I believe that I have several Mods that depend on it.

That's the kind of philosophical question that I'm not equipped to answer

Okay, I give. I've been neck-deep in the XML files for this and ADS, and using different formats (RecipeUsers lists vs. XML attribute added to Def) isn't helping, but... I give.

What ADogSaidBody do birds use? Just Legs, since Arms are only for primates now and they don't have relevant tails? What about seals and walruses? Are those legs or tails?

The general intention is that animal mod authors need to add support for the Easy Patcher. Considering the popularity of Vanilla expanded I might look into doing first class support for it.

I am also having a problem with the lions but have no experience with any sort of coding. The available directions do not explain how to do it very well. I have no idea how to insert that line of code or where/how many things I need to add. Will a patch be available in the future that fixes this so not everyone has to edit it manually to get awesome robolions?

Thank you! Much easier than to be expected, as i was really thinking it must be done by the creator of VAE.

For reference Freezingmoon, to get to the XML files. Go to Rimworld, right click and go to properties. Navigate until you find the local file location, and it should bring you to steamapps/common/rimworld. Back up to steamapps, click workshop, content, 294100, 1849183875. You're no in the desert addition folder. Find the version you want, which i'd assume would be 1.1. Click Defs, ThingDefs_Races, and there you go! Open with notepad, and CTRL+F and search lion, and do as instructed above. :)

Look for AEXP_Lion in the file Races_Expanded_Desert.xml

If you can find the XML file containing the Lion definition, you should be able to add ADogSaidBody="LegsTail" to the ThingDef as described in the mod description above.

I've also been having issues with the Lion from VAE

With the VAE (Desert Addon), the Lion in particular isn't able to receive the glory of this mod. Is there any sort of way to manually fix this? I'm not shy of going into the files. :)

@Azza35 just think of them as options and not as requirements. Endless mods make for endless replay value.

the mods for this game put me off from playing the mods are endless prostetics endless animals endless

Has the issue previously brought up about Viking animals, specifically mentioned the wolfhound, been fixed? I can't seem to add a prosthetic to those animals

Adding Anima Animals + Dragon's Descent would be great!

VFE vikings animals still aren't compatible so far, kinda annoying since my fenrir has sever brain damage I wanna fix without going into dev mode lol. not sure if it's your end or the VE team's end that needs to fix it, I'd do it myself if I knew how

the patch says 'Patchoperationsequence' rather than 'PatchOperationSequence'...do these not need to be case sensitive?

This doesn't work with Anima Animals and Dragon's Descent (and his addon), but works well with Dinosauria and Megafauna !

Is there any reason not to use this with xenoibionic patcher?

Well it looks like I have some mods to look through to see why they aren't working. I think noses might be a (relatively) recent addition.

(small asterisk to my previous comment, specifically it's the ReGrowth *Mutated Animals* pack... ReGrowth Wasteland is just the biome mod without the animals)

It seems like, as far as I can tell, this patcher isn't working properly for the following mods that I'm running:
- VFE Vikings (specifically the lothurr and njorun; I haven't tried with other animals)
- Anima Animals
- Dragon's Descent
- ReGrowth Wasteland (at least the Deathclaw added by that mod; again, haven't tried with the other few animals from the mod)

I've screwed around with my load order enough to be *reasonably* confident it's not my fault, but that's the end of my knowledge about how to fix mod compatibility haha... thanks for putting in the real work to make this mod happen at all so I could enjoy in the first place!

For some reason this won't work for noses on a dog from vanilla expanded animals, it's showing all the other options, just not noses :(

Firstly; thanks for making this! It's very nice to have.
My question is, would this work with the 'no category' version of A Dog Said? I use this version (available as a zipfolder on the main mod page) and the easy patcher doesn't seem to be working. I wonder if that could be the cause.

I can't install parts on to VFE-Vikings animals like the wolfhound.

Will this conflict with Xenobionic Patcher?

I have a problem with VFE-Vikings' Fenrir and VFE-Insectoids' insects

Should this mod (along with ADS) be placed above or below animal mods?

I can't install bionics on dogs from VFE-Vikings.
