uhum I have to admit I didn't read it adds OR logic with 2 signs, I'll try to see if i can make it work based on your input later, thanks for the help

so in your case

pen 1: cow, male. disallow all other animals and disallow female (rename it "bulls")
pen 2: you need 2 pen markers.
pen marker #1 cow female, disallow all other animals, disallow male (rename it "cows")
pen marker #2 all other animals except cow (rename it "all others")

Renaming every single pen marker is optional but helps you remember what each of them do

Hi GuardiaN, I'm not sure I've really understood your question.
Do you want to have a pen for all animals except male bull and another pen with only male bull?

If it is the case you can try the complex logic described in description (I'll repost it here)

Complex filter logic (vanilla feature)
You can combine several filters putting multiple pen marker in the same pen:
what is really important (and what is indeed saved in savegame) is what you do not allow;
a single marker applies AND logic on all its terms;
if you have multiple markers in the same pen the OR logic is applied between them

For example if you want to keep sterilized males + all females in the same pen you just put:
pen marker 1 -> no females, no unsterilized (so basically only sterilized males);
pen marker 2 -> no males (so basically only females)

if both are in the same pen the applied logic is:
(not female AND not unsterilized) OR (not male)

is there any way to have it filter base on cow F / bull M. I tried to have a big pen with different animals, cows being the biggest source of food. Problem is, if I try to make a secondary pen just for the bulls, it will conflict with the main pen settings and the pawns just try to move from the bull pen into the main pen and vice verse. if I have individual animal by sex filter it would solve the problem.

Thank you for this! Finally a way to keep my Chicken Population under control.

@Makeithappen "Rename pen" mod is indeed in the base game, now!

this and rename pen needs to be in the base game.

I don't know why this stuff isn't in the base game already. Thank you for fixing it!!

@Angry Canadian i think what you want is under Animals -> Manage Auto Slaughter? thats the nearest i can see and its a Vanilla feature

@Bumschlagalaga: I think that would be possible, but it's outside the scope of this mod.
please note also that the game try its best to keep pens balanced based on numbers of pens and amount of food that can be grown in them.

As you talked about animal amounts per pen. Would it be possible to add this to the game or is that to much work/impossible? I just would like to know since i am looking for that feature for a long time now.

@Angry Canadian: I'm afraid this is outside the scope of this mod.

is there any way to the ability to specify the amount of animals in a pen, so he could set up a pen to have specified to have pen specified to have 20, adult, female, under life expectancy, not to be slaughtered, chickens and it would be awesome if you could have a priority like stockpiles for the pens.

This is exactly what I've been looking for; thank you for making this mod!

I thought that might be the case, thanks for answering though :) Yeah Niilo has said they'll try implement something!

@(OriginalOwl) sorry but I prefer to not start supporting other mods' features because it will quickly become very difficult to follow and mantain everything and right now I've not time nor will to do that.

Maybe Niilo could extend their mod to add this feature, since it's releated to another feature of its own mod: that should be quite easy to do.

I have Niilo's QoL "disease & germs spread" option enabled, hence the need for quarantine :)

@(OriginalOwl) as far as I know diseases do not spread to other animals in vanilla rimworld

@arl85 is it possible to add a filter for communicable diseases? This mod is the only thing I have found to quarantine penned animals, but it'll group those with e.g. plague with those with a scratch, spreading the disease

@Mr. Gherkin: no, this mod just extends the vanilla filters for pens.

can you filter pens down to individual animal with this mod? ie "I want to put THIS SPECIFIC animal in THIS SPECIFIC pen"?

So bizzare how barebones the vanilla pen sorting is... It's like they didn't QA it at all. Thanks for the mod!

Thank you so much! You're awesome ^^

@Akwamarynka: just added in release 1.9

This genuinely sounds like a godsent, can't wait to try it out! :D

Thank you for making this mod! I can finaly manage my 200 chickens ;d
Is it possible to add filter for named and nonamed animals?

@Phirewalker sorry but adding this feature is outside the scope of this mod.

Is it possible to add control for the number of each sex per pen? Such as one pen for 1 male and x females of whichever species, and another pen for all the rest?

@Sigourney Weaver in Alien4
sorry, this mod does not allow to put a specific number of species in the pen nor to only have there sometimes (but you can disable the pen marker to temporary disable a specific filter)
regarding number, if multiple pens with the same filter are available the game try to balance animals between them, but there's no way to set a specific number.
I should add that adding this feature is outside the scope of this mod.

is there a filter for number ? like I wanna have 5 of this species in the pen but only 3 of this?

god bless. my baby animals can be in the small, walled, safe pen and the grownups can be in the big, fenced, free ranged pen

I dont know if this is possible: basically I want a solution for chicken pens. I want lets say one roster in a pen with 5 chickens. thats not a problem... but I would like the roster to only be there "sometimes"... like could there a filter be added for say in summer or do you have any suggestion how chicken raising for both meet and eggs is viable without much micro

Hang on I think I've got it. I removed one of the pen markers in the medical pen to make it:
1 marker, (Disallow without tendable condition) AND (Disallow with all injuries tended)
And now, the only animals in the medical pen are the ones with a disease or injuries, and as soon as they're tended and able to stand they get moved back to the normal pen. :D

Can you help me wrap my head around this? I'm trying to sort animals between two pens, one general outdoor pen for all my animals to chill in, and another indoor pen that should only allow animals that need medical attention. I've currently got:

Outside pen: 2 markers, (Disallow with tendable condition) OR (Disallow without all injuries tended)
Medical pen: 2 markers, (Disallow without tendable condition) OR (Disallow with all injuries tended)

I thought this would be right, but animals that are healthy are still ending up in the medical pen. What am I doing wrong, please?

Weird how this wasn't already in the game.

@DangerPossum: I fear not
@Piprian: I think both features will go toobeyond the scope of this mod.

Can you put a restriction on the number of a kind of animal or only allow specific animals to a pen (like for a bed)?

Can this mod be used to just remove all pen requirements?

@Aiask have you tried with just this mod enabled? could you post the error log?

This mod seems to be making my game crash on loadup

So many annoying little things like this in this game where the only way to do something is the most tedious way imaginable. This mod is great to fix some of that.

This is great! I'm having this one and the pen naming one.

and you even used the apostrophe in the title correctly. gods above!

Amazing. Dream up I need a mod and... here it is to be found. this game and this modder community is the best.

yes please, add filter for number of animals. It would be absolutely wonderful if it exists.

filter for number of animals pls? similar to animal auto-slaughter tab? or setting for priority similar to stockpile zones?

is there a mod other than tweaks galore that adds all animals as pennable? That mod makes my loading time triple by itself so I'd rather not use it for my own very specific use case.

@GrynnReaper : Penned Animal config, it's integrated into Tweaks Galore now (in mod settings change General -> Penned Animals)

@arl85 love this mod <3

there was a mod but i forgot the name, i used it you just unchecked all the animals and they all reberted to the old system
