Dog Friends

Description
Dogs are friends, not food!

Removes the ability to Hunt, Slaughter, and Butcher dogs.


Additional Tweaks
  • Forever Home: Taming retaliation chance reduced to 0%
  • Loyal Companion: Taming activates "Good Dog" perk: every week dog produces manure (small amount) and "fetches" sticks & slippers (light shoes*)
  • No Puppy Mills: Lower reproduction rate from 10% to 6%
  • If It Barks Like a Dog: Slight reduction to time required to observe species
  • Canis Minor: Scales down newborns even more to 25%
  • Good Genes: Increased health from 50 to 100 & lifetime from 5-8 months to 3-4 years
  • + Updated breed and observed description texts
*Tip: You can dismantle the shoes for cloth resources if/when you end up with too many :-)


Some FYIs
  • In the Taming UI, I replaced the icon but was unable to remove the button completely. However clicking it will do nothing.
  • To avoid accidental attacks by a drafted human, I changed combat group to "Human." This means you'll get a warning any time a dog (even untamed) is attacked by another animal.
  • I play with limited combat so they are not fully tested in combat scenarios. As I play more I'll update and address bugs, but for now I couldn't stand the stress of seeing SLAUGHTER every time I clicked a dog lol
  • Can still be killed (by other animals), but cannot be butchered for meat




Goals for future updates:
  • Add: Happiness buff for sleeping in same room as a tamed dog, increases if bonded
  • Add: Additional happiness buffs for things like hunting or fighting alongside dog
  • Fix: Stagger and randomize production drops so for example the shoes only drop once a week, but manure drops every day
  • Fix: Replace the Taming UI icon with the same greyed out X and error sound as when an animal cannot be trained or pet
  • Fix: Turn Combat Group back to Dogs and find alternate way to prevent drafted attacks
  • Fix: UI updates for controller/steam deck

WE NEED OP DOGS

Oh! And if you like the gujos, there is a Rapax Gujo mod that does away with the extinction of gujos, however, it makes the dogs harder to get as the gujos kill the dogs.

I love having the dog pets. I have also found myself drowning in too many dogs. There is a mod called "Animal Pregnancy Quotas" that can help with this. @Darsonov

An option to neuter tamed dogs would be appreciated. Even with the lowered reproduction rate, I have an population of Great Danes that's starting to grow out of control.

This should be a default option in-game. Who kills dogs!?

I second the request to disable/select whether the dogs bring resources etc. In my game they are pooping/bringing some higher end gear etc, which undermines my game. Appreciate it if this can have an option to be disabled. Otherwise awesome mod. Love the tiny puppies. So cute! Appreciate your time and work.

How goes progress with the future updates? Just got the game and am gearing up first load of mods, and being a K9 officer, I grab any dog mods for every game :P
