1.6 note: For the time being, bears and capybaras have been removed. I have not found a way to make the swimming graphics accept the alternate colours. If I do manage in the future I will add them back in. Odyssey animals will slowly be added, but I got extremely frustrated over the capy issue (ngl I'm kinda heartbroken because I adore those little nuggets).
Ever wondered if animals really should all have the same shades?
I sure did, so I utilized the assembly from Animal Collab Project to give vanilla animals a bit of variation. The assembly was created by thirite and has been updated by Xen.
Some of you may have noticed a collaborator showing up in the sidebar. Azrael has kindly contributed many lovely variations and we're working on even more. ^^
Note that this will conflict with any mod that also adds variant textures or fully overrides the textures!
Currently included are:
Alpaca
Boomalope
Boomrat
Capybara
Caribou
Cat
Chinchilla
Cougar
Dromedary
Grizzly
Hare
Husky
Iguana
Labrador Retriever
Megascarab
Megaspider
Muffalo
Pig
Rat
Rhino
Spelopede
Squirrel
Thrumbo
Timberwolf
Warg
Wild Boar

FAQs:
Can I add this to my current save? - It should be fine to add this mid-game, but please always make a backup of your save. Only newly spawned animals will be affected, though!
Will this change the colour of the leather/wool/clothes? - No, leather has a set RGB value. One species can only have one type of leather.
Could you add [animal]? - I will consider it for sure. Pure colour changes are fairly easy but I'll have to talk to my artist friends about custom patterns.
What animals do you have planned? - Ideally, all vanilla animals that I can do.
I have suggestions for colours/patterns or can help with textures! - Shoot me a message on discord @ cucumpear#4683 (but be aware that I'm quite picky!)
Will you make a patch for [mod]? - No. As of 1.1 I'm using the system used for vanilla animals. if a modder wants their animals to have variations they can easily do this themselves
I need a local install! - Can't help you there, I have been informed that steam frowns upon linking to those.
