More Birds - Conures

Description
FROM THE 'MORE BIRDS' SERIES OF MODS

UPDATED FOR 1.6




Bring conures to your colony as pets and prey!
Playful, colorful, attention-loving animals that will hop and flutter about your colony nuzzling your colonists and bringing joy with their goofy antics. Conures breed slowly and can be messy, but they will nuzzle often and are good pets. They are flocking birds native to tropical rainforests, swamps, and grasslands. They don't need to be penned once tamed; rather they are loyal to their owners and only need zoning. Can be trained to follow masters and attack but are terrible at it!

Thanks to the new Rimworld 1.6 flight mechanics each species has animated flight to move around and flee from threats! Birds can now fly over walls, and use their flying capability to enter or leave maps (if startled by things like gunfire).


What's a conure?
Conures are a diverse group of small to medium-sized parrots originally from the rainforests, swamps, and fields of Central and South America, often referred to as New World Parrots. Known as the clowns of the parrot world they are famous for their playful attitudes, love of attention, and entertaining antics like hanging upside down or swaying and dancing.

Credits
The original inspiration for this mod was Kestrel's wonderful BIRD UP mods. Those mods were picked up by others, consolidated and currently handled by Tyrannidae - check it out here.

Many thanks to Zeitloser for letting me use his Birds Beyond framework and his help with getting my mod functional for versions 1.4 and 1.5, and to Mlie for updating Birds Beyond for 1.5 and thereby keeping my mod functional.

A special nod to my Green Cheek Conure, Mouse, for making me want to include him in the game and sparking this whole mod-making adventure. RIP buddy, I miss you so much.

And last but not least my Black Cap Conure, Penelope Von Peep, for prompting me to add Black Caps to the mod and providing the voice for all conures in this mod. Sorry, I know that Nandays and Suns don't sound a lot like Black Caps but hey, I'm doing my best here!


Mod Notes
Includes support for the most popular biome mods including Alpha Biomes, More Vanilla Biomes, Advanced Biomes (Continued) and ReGrowth 2. If you'd like me to add support for your biome mod please let me know and I'm happy to help.

Should be compatible with pretty much anything (let me know any issues so I can do my best to fix).

NOT CE COMPATIBLE. I hate writing code but I asked on the CE Discord for them to write a patch. I'll update this if it happens.

They are 'intermediate' trainable because they can and do follow owners, but due to trainability mechanic they can also attack. It's a bit unrealistic but until the game's code is changed there's nothing I can do.

While not a dependency per se, I highly recommend something like Camera+ that will let you zoom in much closer to the birbs to enjoy their color and cuteness.

@Kenny I'll pull up the XMLs and double-check the file paths. Thank you!

Loving the mod, thank you. Some beautiful bird noises.

I do believe we are missing a texture though: https://images.steamusercontent.com/ugc/12927827149836668593/3A7E8BA0838C17398FCC75AE2CFEDC98BCD95D24/

Green Cheek colors (pineapple and turquoise) can now breed thanks to the crossbreed mechanic. Technically they are two diff animals, but it works. The offspring will always be the same as the mother pawn and I can't change that without a mod dependency which I want to avoid.

@Doomchibi, no dependency. The new flight mechanic works in 1.6, regardless of if you have the DLC or not.

The animations look amazing, great job! Does this have a dependency on odyssey?

@HannahBug thank you, that was an awesome little trick I ran across and figured it would help make it stand out in the workshop but holy crap was it a lot of effort! I'm happy with it though!
