The tiny, rapid kiwi feet are absolute perfection. You did a great job on them! 😁

You've about made my weekend now.

OPERATION KIWI SANCTUARY IS A GO, I REPEAT: OPERATION KIWI SANCTUARY IS A GO

Thank you for saying so OscarK, getting to represent folks homes in the vintage story world is part of my dream!

And now I've added Kiwi too CKitt! 😀

cannot express how much I adore this mod. Am from Aotearoa and have loved having some semblance of home in worlds

You added wrens! 😁

Yep, all the animals I've made a breedable, though some aren't as efficient due to high food costs, long gestation time and such

@Tentharchitect Can you breed the giant moa? I would love to have them as farm animals :D

Thanks grunge_forever, glad you're enjoying the taxidermy system!
As for pre-Holocene animals, I did a multi-year modding project on them for another game, so I'd rather leave that to other modders. I believe there are now five folks who are working on dinosaurs, but I don't know if or when they will be released

Hey! I'm loving the mods alot, I'm just wondering if you'd ever do a release for more dinosaur-age creatures? Maybe a pterasaur pack, or a sauropod pack.

PS. I think with your extinction feature its really cool that players can make taxidermy museums of ALL KINDS of animals, potentially extinct. The player thinks "Wow, this was an amazing beast. Shame I killed them all off, but atleast i have this AWESOME stuffed version as a reminder of what once was. Really adds a depth of history to a well-played world that i think is painfully missing in vanilla VS.

Holy fuck, The Moa. That's great 

Finnally the giant moa is in a game i play 

Hey Stejer
Glad to hear you're enjoying the mods and excited about the future mods as well! All of the animals you listed will come in future packs eventually, there are some features I'm waiting for 1.20 to release before making like the riding, animated part limit increase and water/land ai task attributes.
Can't recall if I've told you specifically but the way I'm doing it now is making 2 animal packs for every Floral Zone mod released, trying to keep them in theme with each other. So this one goes with the Neozeylandic pack since it represents the native birds there. I was originally going to do penguins as the second, but since learning 1.20 was still a ways out, I'll be doing an animal pack from the next floral region penguins could work with, the Chile-Patagonian Region, and doing penguins with that one if 1.20 is out by then.

No promises on any other packs, but the upcoming Floral Zones are Mediterranean, Circumboreal, Maleasian, Chile-Patagonian and Usambara-Zululand. That should give you an idea of what might be arriving and when. 

Hello! Since you seem to be focussing a lot in australian species these days how about a mod that adds both the modern day marsupials like the kangoroo but also the extinct one like the thillocene (you could make so he has fear of sheep since the was extinct cuz farmers thought they were killing the sheep and plsss make them domesticable)

Id also like a mod cammels, alpacas etc (as you said before you seem to not be very good with riding programs wich would be essential for those but it would be awsome)

love your mods!

ps: elephants and hippos would be cool as well like a mod with africa most dangerous animals

YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEESSSSSSSSSSSSSS !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hey Stejer! 
They have a different diet than chickens, fruit, vegetables, nibble crops and berry bushes. You can see the diets of my animals in the stats tab on the mod description for future reference!

is their feed the same of chikens?

RobertS42 For consistency's sake I'm using it as an easy way of generating a unique mod ID and having them as families is almost guaranteed to be unique. I suppose it should be Dinornithiformes and Flightless Birds of New Zealand Except Penguins, but that'd be a pain to have in the files. Might just switch it to Dinornithiformesplus

This is probably not my place to say this, but it maybe better to rename the pack to something more akin to "Aves of New Zealand" rather than Dinornithidae? That would be a bit more descriptive since only the Kiwi would be in the same infra-class. And even then it would only be very distantly related.

Releasing the bird families as they finish, feed back would be most welcome especially around their breeding. It's something that takes quite a while to test so if folks are willing to test that while I'm working on the next family of birds it'll greatly speed up development.
