About this mod
- Adds x2 insect creatures (Mantis & Beetle) to Kenshi (both are approximately bonedog strength and size).
- Recruitable dialogue available for Nymphs & Juveniles (babies) in nests.
- Adults spawn as solitary hunters, found in various locations
- Also Sold by Nomad animal traders (they sell 1 or 2)
- Permissions and credits
ATTENTION: Important Information, Please Read:
- Animals age over time, being at the baby stage the stats will appear to be zero. There's no way to change this currently, its just a normal Kenshi mechanic. Its working correctly/nothing is broken.
"due to the penalties from being a baby, its stats will seem as if they are zero. Over time the animal will age and the penalty will lessen, and eventually become a bonus."
- Ive also had limitless complaints also over animals not gaining hunger by feeding on corpses (this is also a Kenshi mechanic i have no control over, theres no nutrition value applied to bodies. So it cant feed animals. Yes they eat corpses, but theres no way to make it replenish hunger in Kenshi as of now)
- Feeding Animals - Throw raw meat on the ground, the animal will eat it if its hungry, also put meat in your backpack and your animal will automatically eat from the pack.
- I have only uploaded this mod to Nexus & do not wish this mod to be part of any overhauls etc.
- I do not consent to the uploading, sharing, or redistribution of this mod.

Less Foliage Collision (By Shidan)
- Prevents large animals from getting stuck on anything (Mantises and Carrion Insects should mostly be fine, larger stuff like boneyard wolves usually have problems though. I havent used the vanilla game without this mod for a while so havent tested for certain if they do get stuck)
