Yeah, its working totally fine.

There is a minor issue with the new flying behavior, but that seems only superficial.

BAWK!

Since this mod has been reported working in 1.6 I added it to the No Version Warning-mod
https://gtm.steamproxy.vip/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2599504692

1.6 update? Love your mods btw

Hi @Atwood, I wanted to let you know I was able to load all of your mob variety mods without any issues on the Rimworld unstable branch. As far as I can tell, the only thing to update would be the Rimworld version.

Thank you so much for your gorgeous mods that make my animals beautiful and special!

1.6 update?

Love it but i hope this wont make me add some more variety of chicken in RL or my BF ll kill me

GLORIOUS

YESS!!! Thank you for the update, I LOVE this mod!!

Updated for 1.5 :)

Confirmed. This and all the ATW retexture mods work fine in 1.5.

I love my chickens. Are they by any possibility able to face new horrors on the rim soon? Thanks either way for so much variety!

This mod is so cute! I would love it though if Baby chickens looked like chicks instead of Small chickens :)

i hope you do more mods like this

Pretty mod but too many roosters! It makes sense though, they are normally the most colorful.

Ah, fair enough

@Rovoska - I went into it in more detail in a previous comment, but it's due to technical limitations in the XML. Because of how the variety colour coding is nested in the graphical data, you can't have both male/female dimorphic lines and multiple coat patterns. If there were rooster-specific lines every rooster would have to have the exact same pattern with only the base colour being variable, and same with the hens. Much though I wanted to do glorious rooster lines, in the end I went with the single line art and greater pattern variety. :)

Is is a technical or personal reason they can't have textures be rooster/hen?

鸡你太美

i love this series! i love ranching on rimworld, so having prettier and more varied art for the animals is always a plus.

Very good mod.

@Necromenta - I don't know for certain but it doesn't seem to. When I'm running the mods on my test colony there will be sometimes hundreds of individual animals, almost all with variant coats, and I don't notice any change in FPS between when the mods are on or off.

The far greater impact is from all the extra animals I end up keeping just because I like their coats!

Sorry if this is an stupid question but does this affect FPS?

Absolutely love this! Love what you're doing <3

Love this

(continued...) The rooster-specific lineart was an option, too, but with that it was a choice between having about 16 outcomes (2 patterns in 8 colours) or 70+ outcomes with a wide array of patterns, colour-specific shading and 4 different linearts (silkie and a pair of Faverolles I sneaked in there). And 16 outcomes just isn't ridiculous variety. Also, silkies.

The dimorphic designs are something I might play around with in the future with less complexly patterned critters. If others are interested in attempting it for their own mods, I left my notes on how to get basic dimorphic masking effects in the patch on this mod. No guarantees it will work, but it was functional in my preliminary testing. ^^

@Halituis Amaricanous - Unfortunately the game is really not set up for having both variety coats and male/female-specific coats. To have a rooster-specific lineart would mean every rooster must have the same coat pattern with the only variety being the base colour, and same with the hens.

Rooster-specific patterns can be done by switching off the complex shader for hens so masking only affects roosters. That was my original plan with this mod, but anything beyond the most basic masking+lineart colour patterns came out very muddy and didn't look great on either. Very disappointing, but once I abandoned the dimorphic design attempts it was far less frustrating to work on and looked SO much better. :D

would it bee too much to ask for a rooster re-texture? to maybe bantams or something. regardless this is so great and the silkie chickens are so precious!

precious cocks

HOLY SMOKES. A silkie (amongst other cute variations)!! I'm thrilled right now! <3 This will never, ever leave my mod list. lol

Yessssssss
