Just wanted to drop a quick thank you for keeping this maintained. I don't think I've played without this mod in my modlist in the past 5 years!

Sorry, adding discussions don't ping me like a comment will. Thank you for reaching out via discord!

Hey there cucumpear I left a discussion post about this but I'm really confused on how to patch in support for this in a new mod. Is there a way we can talk about this?

I'll take a look, thank you!

I'm using Vanilla Textures Expanded and Animal Variety Coats together with great success. The only issue is with boomrats, which have the high-def version for coat 1, but low-def for the variants. Some bug patching boomrat specifically?

Love the mod, btw.

Thanks for all your work!

The thrumbo should be fixed as soon as steam releases the update and some of the odyssey animals will have variations.

Not yet, I'm having a bit of a block, but I made a note!

No scimitar cat yet?

I figured I'd let you know that I'm utilizing this mod as a prerequisite for my own published animal retextures (Roidgys Alt Animals). I can't do any coding, but I'll happily use whatever code you can put up, even if this mod itself doesn't provide textures for it.

I'll check if something broke those, they were working in testing, but it's possible. Thanks for the heads up!

I'm not seeing any variety among the Thrumbo or Rhinos. Is it just on my end?

I've been using your animal texture mods for so long. I really appreciate your work. Thank you for updating this and thank you for not giving up on the frustrating situation with swimming textures. Tens of thousands of fans consider your mods 'Legendary' quality.

I'll look into it!

Would you ever consider adding the red fox patch to this mod?

I love this mod, thank you for updating and i hope new animals added will get new coats as well! lots of love S2

The swimming texture change hates me, I have an idea how to fix it but I hope y'all can live with the random darker water capys for a bit until I figure out how to make the game actually keep the colour. Also need to check the bears.

Ok, definitely caused by this mod. It looks like the alternate colours don't just apply to the swimming texture. I'll see if I can find a way to do it (and am hoping maybe there's an animal with variants in Odyssey I can loot at, because I'm not looking forward to trying to read the actual game code).

That's entirely possible, I'll take a look asap. Than you for letting me know!

Capybaras are changing colour when swimming, and i think it's to do with this mod. I've got a couple of other mods loaded so I'm not sure, but it would make sense that swimming uses a different texture.

@Farivia, there's the CHicken Variety mod by MG_Atwood. You could be thinking of that mod.

I could have sworn that some of these were available in-game by default...I remember having a Warg that was dark in color that I named Shadow, and got really confused when I started a new Warg breeding program for the first time recently and never encountered another one...

ah i see but thanky been a while so i tught i gotten real senile XD

I could never get chicken to work correctly, so that must have been another mod. ^^

wait am i gettin senile? i remberd chickents having another coat with thos mod? or am i mixing a mod?

Where calico cat? :c

Sure, I'll make a note and look into it.

i know there was a patch for regrowth core , but helix loves to makes new mods and changed the textures for regrowth rextexture, any chance it could get compat too? .

Huh, apparently it was present in the first version and I missed it when I switched to the method without the custom assembly we had at first. Thank you for making a patch!
I'll fix the description and link yo your mod there.

Are you aware that the red fox is not included in any code that i could find and thus is not varied? I made a patch to fix this and you're welcome to just cannibalize it!

Are all colour variations HD?

Not at the moment, sorry, I might look at it as I have time.

Are there any plans to support the mod H.C AnimalReskins Complete?

I'll check and fix that asap, I have an idea what I derped. Thank you for pinging me!

Some cats are replaced by a pink square (and Wildlife tab become bugged), second time it happens to me (maybe since last update?).
When I active dev mod, I can see this red error:

Failed to find any textures at Things/Pawn/AnimalCCP/Cat/CatW while constructing Multi(initPath=Things/Pawn/AnimalCCP/Cat/CatW, color=RGBA(0.667, 0.667, 0.667, 1.000), colorTwo=RGBA(1.000, 1.000, 1.000, 1.000))

I already tried to force the update of the mod (unsub, delete files, resub), nothing changed. I "fixed" it in waiting by deleting the textures of the cat and the related patch.

@bob
Vanilla Animals Expanded works fine, I’m 99% sure that you have ReGrowth: Core after Animal Variety Coats in your mod list, so just load Animal Variety Coats after ReGrowth: Core.

@cucumpear
Hey, just wanted to let you know that aside of Erin's Cat Overhaul that you’re already working on to resolve, there’s a similar issue with ReGrowth: Core .

There should not be any overlap between this and any non-vanilla animals, if you also run Vanilla Textures Expanded, make sure to load Variety Coats after that. The only other mod I know can cause issues is Erin's Cats (I'm testing a patch for that when I have time).

Is this mod compatible with "Vanilla animals expanded"? When these 2 mods are active at the same time, I get a couple of xml errors (something about "duplicate xml node") on startup.

Hi there! is there a way to change which colour variation an animal gets in game? I had a grey Husky called "Grey" before I installed your mod and now hes black! :D ty for the mod btw. <3

The Toxalope and Wasterat issue should finally be fixed.

This mod overrides the Biotech waste rat skin, it makes the waste rat look like a normal rat

Looks like something conflicts with vanilla furniture expanded, I'll look into it.

Hi there! I haven't noticed anything wonky going on in-game, but I get this red error for the mod on startup: https://gist.github.com/e5fca9b3563940805596c2c7171d19e5

(PS thanks for the awesome mod! Adds some interest to my games :D)

is there a way to improve the texture quality with a graphics mod?

Thanks i'll have a look.

Any way to give the cows some color? I wish there'd be brown ones in the game

WasteRat and Toxalope are Child of Rat and Boomalope, so they herit of the alternate graphic
If you patch them to add <alternateGraphicChance Inherit="False" />, the issue is fixed.

Thank you for the report, I'll check what's going on.

Waste rats in Biotech sometimes look like usual rats with this mod
