@WirierFungus76 try holding up, then the jump button. that makes them stop all activities, and go back to following you.
if that's not the case, idk what is. also, holding your scup on your back or just their hand doesn't let them grow and learn, and only makes them rely on you more, and make them lazy. the only time i would recommend holding your pups is when you absolutely have to.
ex: leeches, baby noots, room with an abundant amount of death pits, when a lizard is chasing them (they will witch to attack you so be careful), or in shaded citadel.
pups are VERY buggy, and if you want a mod that will make them not spawn in a wall, i'd recommend "no stuck pups" which prevents them from spawning within the shelter walls.

when there is a pole above the pup, they struggle to jump and grab it. why? because their code most likely makes them TAP the jump button, instead of HOLD. too bad you're not working on this mod anymore...
when they "tap" jump button, they don't jump fully, like in super mario (NES), if you don't hold jump, you wont jump the whole way.

For anyone wondering, no, it does not work with Watcher. I couldn't tell at first.

Im not working on it anymore

Working?

Im open to having a team work on this. Im not sure if everyone is interested.

This will genuinely benefit from at least ONE big update. ask for a team ask for help etc you dont have to be doing it by yourself if you dont feel like it. but this looks like the only pup AI mod outthere right now. I think more people need to work on it with you to upgrade it.

Especially now with Poison foods in the dlc . it would really benefit pup gameplay to have toggles or extra data to learn not to eat those etc

its just crucial to consider whats gonna go on from this point ! im making a proposition based on that fact.

new update breaks this mod, if you have a time can you fix the mod?

yea idk if it works and i dont got the brainpower to check if it works or even make it work, maybe later

I am a mother of 3 slug pups one is green one is blue and one is pink.what should their names be?

ok so i put the mod as far down as possible, it truly does improve their ai... a bit to much, any time i leave the room for 0.000001 seconds and they dont follow, they just jump outside the map somehow and die. pls stop murdering my scugpups with this mod. (if you didn't know what i meant DONT USE IF YOU WANT YOUR PUPS TO LIVE!!! or just keep them with you at ALL FREAKING TIMES)

just a idea you don't have to do it if you don't want to do it

could you make it so slug pups can cry when you throw a rock at them and you have to put them on your back to make them stop crying.

STOP WITH THE C&P BOBYY

Also thanks for doing all you could

It's fine dude, and I hope you are ok

yea ive had this problem too and idk how to fix. honestly ive taken a break from programming this mod cuz it''s drained me so hard compared to when i first started. If anyone wishes to pick up where I left off and continue development, Id be more than happy to grant that.

Sorry if I'm being a bit mean, I've tried that before and when I do that, I have the same problem as erazen

Place this mod at the bottom of the list in the remix menu

what does "low as possible on your modlist" mean? sorry if this is a stupid questiom

Finally, I can have intelligent children.

With this mod, I had an issue where the slugpup would just constantly move back and forth inside the same screen transition pipe. There were no threats on either side. If it matters, it was holding a noodlefly baby from an egg that I carried to our den, but the slugpup kept repeating this behavior even without the noodlefly in its grasp.

The slugpup was a Tundrapup from Pups+, which cannot eat meat, which could potentially have been causing the issue.

Either way, upon removing PupAI (this mod) and reloading the game, the pup did not exhibit this buggy behavior again.

i dunno I kinda like loboto-pups

finally i hate it when my pups act like they're lobotomized

hey, my pup used to easily climb that one room at outskirts (with this mod on) now he's just standing still... (with the mod on)
i know it's not due to low energy, i have visible id on and he has high energy.
(also with a low energy pup he just keeps jumping over the bump instead of grabbing the pole)

the shuffling is in error in the movement. I can't really control it even if i wanted to.

Honestly, I think the shuffling itself is silly. A suggestion I would have is to make it so that pups can still shuffle if they're close enough to a player and they're not stressed.

Sure. As @PoisonedMaple said you don't have to do what you don't want to do

also @advanced_dummy I appreciate the enthusiasm but rn i've decided to take a break from developing this mod. It's really taxing on my brain.

if you want me to disable pups navigating to shortcuts, ive tried looking into it, and realized just how big of a task that'll be. idk if I'd want to do that.

Vanilla pups try to enter shortcuts on their own, but fail because they aren't allowed to enter. This mod allows them to enter those shortcuts they were excluded from.

so apparently this lets pups use creature shortcuts. could we get an option to disable this feature? because creature shortcuts sometimes go halfway across the map and i lose my pup completely. other than that thank you for un-lobotomizing my pups

wawa thanks :>

one thousand hours+ on Rain World is crazy

ur an absolute legend

hi @WillowWispy

I've been told this mod causes some issues with rotund world, sounds like it's breaking something related to the player BodyChunk radius. I haven't looked into it yet but hopefully I can help if you'd need help fixing it

True

also the mod author has absolutely zero obligation to update the mod if they dont want to
it's not like they're getting paid

"whatever can be improved on is very hard to do"

There is a lot to improve

probably just not much else that is possible to be improved on
or whatever can be improved on is very hard to do

or not

Maybe he just cooking a big update

Why no update for so long???

update when???

THIS NEEDS TO BE IN THE BASE GAME

Would it be possible to modify slugpup behaviour so they can navigate underwater instead of just treading water? I guess there would be the problem of slugpups accidentally drowning, but it would be cool to see implemented if possible.
