Catch Livestock

yoink

 

I wanted to make this mod for a while.

What? are you going to tell me the big, tall strong seraph can't yoink a boar? Or a Hen? Or even a little chick? Come on.

This QoL mod solves this, to move your livestock around simply ctrl+right click (empty handed) and be free of problems!

<span style="text-decoration: underline;">If you prefer (or find any conflict with other mods) you can go to CatchLivestockClientConfig.json and set EnableCatchHotkey to true, this will disable ctrl+right click and register a hotkey for catching a animal.</span>

You can only pick up animals with generation &gt; 0 (greater than 0)

That's it! To place it down simply aim and right click.

I SUGGEST YOU MAKE A BACKUP
While I did test this up(generation, pregancy, lactation, weight etc...), this mod does involve patching on internal game classes and precise serialized data, if some other mod running doesn't like this and things get borked you probably going to lose a animal you put some hours into it.

Some things to be aware of:

• You can only pick up animals with generation &gt; 0 (greater than 0).
  • You can edit this in the config file, but setting minimum generation to 0 means the mod will allow you to pick any entity because it is not checking for generation anymore.

&nbsp;

• - Tammed animals with lower generation will still try to flee, as bighorns will still try to hurt you if you get too close.

- The mod uses the vanilla creature items, this means a animal you pick up won't always match the model/texture in your hands (hen genetics, goat horns, etc..), this is a limitation&nbsp; that I'm fine with for now.

- I did not test this with other creature mods.

Some ideas:

<span style="text-decoration: line-through;">Livestock can only be carry on backpack slots. (To match Butchering)</span> (Decided against, too restrictive)

<span style="text-decoration: line-through;">Carrying livestock lock your slot in place until you place the animal down.</span> (Added)

<span style="text-decoration: line-through;">Animation for picking up animal so it doesn't look so snappy.</span> (Added)

<span style="text-decoration: line-through;">Handbook entry next to basket trap or something.</span> (Added)
