Features:

All species have a unique pelt that can be used to craft hide, feathers and a taxidermied full body.


All the animals in this mod have a strict population cap and will only spawn on runtime, not world gen. This is also to make the mod more server friendly so as to not add an overwhelming number of entities. 

And a big thanks to everyone who gave feedback and assistance!


Known Bugs: The water behavior toggle currently isn't working, so penguins will often perform land behaviors in water. As such, they are currently set to head to land immediately after spawning. This will be changed when this base game feature is finalized.

I suspect my headphones were the key factor, because the sounds didn't seem that loud to me until I got new ear cushions 😆
The fairy penguins height is currently at 30cm or 12 inches, near the bottom of their height range, plus their animations have them leaning forward. I'm not inclined to recalculate their movement speeds, but I'll consider it.

Glad to hear you're enjoying them!

💬 Shazza, 5 days ago

Good to see you're planning to tweak the sound, but I'd like to throw my hat in the ring!

I absolutely love fairy penguins (aussie little blue penguins) and noted that they are EXTREMELY tiny in-game - I'm not sure about the scales for the other penguins by comparison, but fairy penguins are about 13-15 inches in height, which basically puts them slightly above human (or Seraph's) ankle. Probably closer to the middle of the shinbone.

Otherwise, I friggin' squealed with delight on finding out that my home base is a natural home for these precious guys. Just.. looking forward to not hearing dozens of stone-shattering feet plaps soon. That audio balancing issue also persists with a few of your other stone age series animals as a head's up!

💬 TentharchitectAuthor, Dec 10th at 5:58 PM

Yeah, penguins are crazy loud irl. I have an audio range tweak coming to bring it down, as I'd set it to the louder penguins irl range but for all of them, should be more accurate to the mid sized penguins soon

💬 Darkx, Dec 9th at 6:24 PM

These things are super loud. 

 

💬 Dij, Dec 7th at 10:43 PM

installing this mod is great because i see these cute penguins. i will never hurt you little guys!

💬 TentharchitectAuthor, Dec 5th at 1:27 AM

Do you mean the head mounts? I'm seeing that the dogs all have some incorrect GUI rotations, but the rest are looking right to me

💬 Reshirfuse, Dec 5th at 12:43 AM

The mounts dont seem to have models loaded into the game in 1.20 for pretty much all the animals

💬 TentharchitectAuthor, Nov 22nd at 4:21 PM

Thanks Yelb and Toccata!
As for elephantidae, they are one of the 62 remaining animal packs I'd like to do!

💬 Yelb, Nov 22nd at 2:53 PM

Hello, loving your mods ! Any chance for very large animals, like Elephantidae mammoth-ish ?

💬 Toccata, Nov 21st at 8:01 PM

Just wanted to say you're a real one for adding support for combat overhaul!!

💬 TentharchitectAuthor, Nov 21st at 7:54 PM

Glad you're all enjoying it!
And there are tons of cool extinct penguins out there Annastasija! Would be happy to let a modder use my assets to make extinct animals further back before my project's timerange, I'm mostly sticking to the Holocene with a few hundred years wiggle room in rare circumstances

💬 Annastasija, Nov 16th at 1:48 AM

There are lots of cool extinct penguins out there, like the Inkayacu, or The great Auk. Also that prehistroic one, Palaeeudyptes klekowskii was 7 feet tall, that would be scary lol

💬 Kaezyr, Nov 15th at 5:07 AM

Amazing, thanks for the new release! 

💬 DrBubba, Nov 12th at 3:42 PM

You do such amazing things.  I love it.

💬 TentharchitectAuthor, Nov 11th at 4:26 PM

Thanks Brick! And I have no plans to do non-avian dinosaurs. Though I try to help dinosaur modders whenever they pop up

💬 Brick, Nov 11th at 8:08 AM

Tentharchitect 

Hello! I am greatly impressed by your work on animal packs and its quality. I am curious, do you have any plans on making dinosaurs packs?

💬 TentharchitectAuthor, Nov 11th at 3:52 AM

Elephants are one of the 62 remaining animal packs I'd like to do, though no promises on where in the order it'll come out

💬 LumpyAcidFish, Nov 11th at 2:07 AM

are you going to make one for elephants since you have rhinos?

💬 TentharchitectAuthor, Nov 10th at 4:20 PM

You can indeed! The king babies are big fluffers

💬 Hydromancerx, Nov 10th at 5:37 AM

Can I have a baby Pesto now?

💬 nicknightshade, Nov 10th at 3:43 AM

WOOO!! PENGUINS!!! You're the MAN!!! WOO!!!
THANK YOU!!!
(praying for bovines next but take your time king)

 

💬 ParallelPenguins, Nov 10th at 2:56 AM

PENGUINS!!!! 😍😀😀😁 I am now very very happy! I would hug you if I could!!

💬 Rattus, Nov 10th at 2:54 AM
