[SURVEY] Extinct animals?

  • Added to a normal spawn pool - which means they would spawn everywhere in the world, in their respective biomes. 7
  • Added via rare event - they would only appear like Thrumbos, in rare events. 17
  • World map event - A friendly settlement would give you a tip on their location, but it's up to you to gather your team and go there. 6
  • Only available from traders. No other way to obtain them. 0

Rimworld already has Megasloth, which is based on an extinct real life animal called Megatherium. Lore-wise, it has been brought back from extinction.

This gave me an idea of a new mod, Animals Expanded - Extinct animals. Ideally, I'd like them to be rare, precious, something that Alpha Animals tried to do but instead it ended up populating the whole world with them.

I would give players a reason to go and find these animals - whether it's for precious pelts, great combat power or other interesting abilities. Maybe even add a special orbital trader that pays top dollar for all the extinct animals?

The question is, if I was to release such a mod, how would you like these animals to appear in the world?

Personally I prefer the way Megafauna handles them. After all, once they are on a rimworld they would after time become a natural part of the ecosystem. So integrating them into the vanilla pool without replacing or displacing the vanilla animals is imo the best way to add them. What I would recommend is maybe add rare variants, like albino ones or variations with unique pelts as special events.
