If only there was a way to recruit other animals as a animal, so that you can play a bonedog and recruit more to your pack...

Hi! Love the mod! I'm curious if anyone knows how to find where these dialogue tags are associated with the beasts in FCS. I can find the dialogue, and I can find the various beasts under races, but I'm unsure of what attaches the imprisonment trigger to the actual beast. I'm getting into modding and want to try to customize this for myself, so this information would be very useful!

@Wirlocke
Last official one. Most devs do shadow patches or edits. But even so. It may be that the problem was not really addressed as most of the modders of these mods have left including myself until now.

you stole my name

@NinjaBeest How could that be, the last Kenshi update was in 2024?

Hi @everyone

Okay yes there is definitely something going on with the TameBeasties mod and patches with this "animals are not eating" problem, I am seeing it on everything tamebeasties and its patches, one of the new Kenshi updates messed up something, added a loophole or we have to connect something new together with something else to mend the problem. This is a much bigger problem and will have to be identified and then fixed with each an individual patch to each person's mod. Still investigating.

Hey guys, I need to know if many people are having problems with animals not eating just with this mod turned on. It seems to be a new trend with tamebeasties and its patches and I am trying to identify what is going on. I think an update broke something, added a loop we need to get through or a connection we need to mend. Let me know how many are having this problem of animals not eating please thanks.

Animal lunch bag not working, animals not eating out of it

No option to talk to the beastie even when locked inside a cage

this mod suck, because tamed Beack Thing don't restore hunger when eating the body. He eats the body, even dealing damage, but its not restraining Beak's hunger

The feeding bag seems to be bugged? At the very least the icons aren't displaying correctly for some reason.

anybody know if this will work on "Tiny" the bone dog from the dark hive mod

Does anyone know of a compatible backpack mod? Animal Backpacks doesn't work with tameable beasties, and I have no idea how to use FCS to edit it.

@Sroka yeah it works if the player is the captor, and the captor changes to the owner of the cage.

So is it only working on player build cages and neutral cages? I'm wondering because previously I recruited some Bonedogs in Bast. But now I'm trying to recruit bull and I tried to use cages in Flotsam Village and it doesn't work.

"No animals were harmed in the making of this mod". love it

So does this work on Crabs too?

Can't tame bonedog, any solution??

I tried to tame Gorillos (Specifically) the dark ones but they never want to talk or anything, did this happened to somebody more or it's just me?

im super late but ty for the links i thought i looked every where

Where can I find Robopacks?

@REZisWatching Yeah I made one a while ago as @Landbatman said.

Do the animals you can't normally buy have portraits? I tamed a Gorrillo but their portrait was empty. Later I tamed a Crab and they had a portrait, I am guessing it's because they are default pets we can purchase

REZisWatching, a compatibility patch/mod for Radiant Animals already exists on the workshop, here the link!
https://gtm.steamproxy.vip/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2741341494

So Im using Radiant New Animal Subspecies, and i don't think its compatible> do you think it would be possible to make a patch for it? Id love to tame the variant Gorillos :( Sorry because i know im asking for more work, but thank you for taking the time to read.

i dont see a talk option when i put a creature in the cage... how does this work?

In case anyone is interested, i've made 2 patches for other popular mods:
Kaizo - TameBeasties Patch:

TameBeasties - Travelling, Talking Civilians Patch (more crabs and some dogs):

To answer some comments below:
- yes, you can tame Iron Spiders
- yes, you can tame blood spiders
- it works on megacrab
- for unknown reason, it works on some broken skeletons, who are not beasts.
- it works on every vanilla animal, but it'll not work for vanilla animals in squads, added by other mods, like Kaizo. That's why you'll need patches.
- if you really want to be a beastmaster with a lot of animals in your faction, consider using "no animal hunger" mod, or at least "Grazing" mod, it'll save you a lot of micromanagement.

so i can tame blood spider now ??

is there a wiki to what garru eat

I wonder if it works on Megacrab

Question.

Can I use this mod to tame Iron Spiders?

bro, make this mode "tamed animals salable to nomads."

A good companion mod would be "Prisoner Cages Now!", another would be "Less Hungry Beasties" so they consume less of your food, or a mod to remove beast hunger entirely, roleplay it as they're eating plants or corpses depending on the beast. A lot of people seem to have trouble with this mod suddenly breaking, this mod can under the right circumstances allow you to recruit an animal from any prisoner cage, but you need it to be a cage in your own outpost. With the mod mentioned, grab yourself a ton of iron plates so you can tame on the go. Odds are many of you were trying prisoner cages other than your own, saw success, then it stopped working. I was in that same camp.

If animals can carry bags (like pack beasts), they will feed themselves from it. Otherwise, keep your meat storage indoors, or they'll eat all your meat supplies.

Place feeding troughs close to where animals roam for easy feeding. When building a new base, I recommend two animal areas: one safe space (like a building with a feeding trough) to keep them secure, and another near your main gate. This second area acts as a buffer so defensive animals can fight off enemies if the gate is breached.

For recruiting modded animals, you might be able to edit them using the Forgotten Construction Set (FCS). Perhaps someone with experience can provide more guidance on this.

not me using this to recruit the king gorillo and all other overpowered animals

Forgot to mention just how difficult it is to recruit those who've just attacked me as the Things will eat them even in a prisoner cage....haha its crazy how much they eat and where the heck do they put it? it's not in their bellies, sure as heck ain't increasing their stats.

This mod is interesting in concept, but fails to meet expectation. I have tamed two Things and all day everyday, they eat an abundance of corpses. if they're not at the food trough I have left outside the gate for them, loaded with rancid meat, they are at recently harpooned corpse, picking it clean. Yet, they are always going hungry. I have them outside the gate, otherwise, they will pick my meat storage clean. Why the heck do they target my humanoid's meat storage rather than the obvious animal trough? Why are they always eating and always going hungry?

i works for me, I just captured king again

doesnt seem to work with king, maybe the newest kenshi update ruin it?

this mod is not working for me for some reason, i tried everything ..

How I can tame a cleanser unit?

I cant seem to recruit animals, only loot them

I actually added mutt recruit dialog to skeleton raid spiders and it worked) Tnx for idea!

Didnt worked for Silver wolf or Iron spiders. :(

this mod broken already

Can't recruit bonedogs :<

Can't pick up large animals either, any possible fixes or known bugs?

I cant pick up animals for some reason

So... with this mod i can capture the Southern Hive King?

Can't get this to work on skin spiders. Great mod though thanks for making it. Could it be the changes UWE makes to the spiders that breaks this mod?
