Do you know if this is compatible with 1.6?

Love this mod. Makes the game alot less frustrating.

HugsLib is complaining about some sort of incompatibility between this and Geological Landforms. For what it's worth, I've been playing for double-digit hours and I think I've had less wildlife spawn in that time than expected. Here's my log: https://gist.github.com/HugsLibRecordKeeper/ec9be3c44de2d3a714c0a19c25b9fc04

thank you again lol

ETA now

eta on 1.5 update? Thank you.

@Arganot my mod is about quantity, you can set a numeric threshold for alerts, while the other one is about specific kinds of animals. Looks like we're covering different needs, mine being more about survival and the other is about flavour.

Are there any relevant differences between this and: https://gtm.steamproxy.vip/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2172166576

This is awesome, it does exactly what I want it to; Give an alert when predators enter the map. It's so damn helpful since I'm running a boatload of mods that add in wildlife, and some of these I would rather avoid if I can, or hunt if I must hah!

Updated for 1.4!

@sindri42 The core functions work, but the mod settings menu doesn't. Looks like they changed how mod menus work.

Do you know if this still works in 1.4?

@Angrysquirrel setting up support for specific animals is possible but I don't have the time to expand the scope of this mod, sorry. I don't know what that might have been called.

Do you know if your mod or another mod will me know when a certain animal enters the map. I want to tame that creature. I used to have a mod that does this but I forgot what it was called. Thanks!

Hello, on Rimworld 1.3, and have the Royalty DLC. However I have upwards of 200 mods at any one time, so it's probably on my end ^_^"

@Maianna, it's definitely fixed at my end, are you on RimWorld 1.3? And are you using any DLC?

Hey, great mod concept and I know it used to work as intended, however I still have the same problem as Yoann.

@Yoann, thanks for the report, I found the issue and fixed it. A small change was made to code that calls my code, so I had to change my code slightly.

The mod prevents the spawn of more than 1 wild animal on a new map (and give an alert at the spawn of a new map).
I tried only with new settlement (no encounter maps) after that no animal spawn after more one day on a desert map (so maybe prevent new spawn?)

Too bad, this mod could have been useful on my new game.

Thanks!

@PeasantUnit set the threshold to 1 in the settings, means only when there are less than 1 animals will it alert you on a new one appearing. Setting the threshold to 0 is the same as turning the mod off, which is a bit silly but I'm going to leave it that way.

Is there an option to alert only when I have no animals in the map?

Updated! I had done most of the work but needed to squash a visual bug, all done now.

This seems to work just fine with 1.3, but an update to the tags would be very much appreciated!

Can anyone confirm if this is functional as is for 1.3? just wanna make sure i can still use this with the new DLC

thanks for the reply.

@Geojak I copied the vanilla code and made some minor changes, the actual spawning code is no different to vanilla. If spawning code is changed in later versions this will need to be updated but until then, it is the same.

Hey lost RD, I saw that your prefix disables the vanilla animal spawn Funktion. Did you have the code of the vanilla Funktion? It makes me a bit reluctant to use your mod since I don't know if your mods spawning and the vanilla spawning is the same

OK, thanks for getting back to me about it.

I think that was a buggy colony because I changed my modlist like hundred times and id did not have any problems since

Not sure about that one. This mod is really simple, it shouldn't cause any incompatibilities. Do you have any other mods that change the spawn mechanics of animals?

And it resolved itself but the other mod stopped working. Fishy.

I noticed that the more mods you have the faster the notification disappears and eventually it stops working. Some kind of bug?

Thank you!

@Reiquard done!

I've sent you a pull request, so please check github for it.

Done.
And thanks ;)

It's not up to date but none of the strings have changed since that version.

I would really like to supply you with a translation, but I missing a keyed xml file that contains strings that has to be translated.
Do you have a github repository? I would help you extract the strings to a file.

@Reiquard if you supply translations I’m happy to add them to the mod

Hello! Thanks for the mod.
I want to ask you to add translation support for other languages.

Alerts the player whenever some food enters the map.

Updated to 1.2

@lost RD, thanks! Working for me also

@DAV easy enough, update should come out in the next couple of hours. Playtesting now.

Hi, any chance to add a option to alert only when a predator enters the map instead of any animal? Thanks

@lost RD sorry, I think I've found the issue. It's some other mod that seems to be causing this excessive number of animals entering the map.

@Vats I'm pretty sure my mod isn't changing vanilla spawns, but if the spawn code changed since 1.0, I might be. I'll have to look into it.

As a matter of fact, I think it's not sucking at all. It seems to me that the animal spawn generation is too high even at level 1. Under normal circumstances, I'd see like 1 iguana every 4 or 5 days, but I've seen 6 spawning at the same time on my map. The initial population generation might also be different compared to vanilla since most extreme desert maps spawn with 3 animals (this map had only 1).

My extreme biome runs won't suck anymore. Thanks!
