Key Features
Adds an avid hunter trait to the game with associated hunting-related thoughts. Avid hunters gain recreation from hunting and will occasionally go hunting as a joy activity. When selecting targets, more skilled hunters (based on shooting and animal skills) have a greater chance of pursuing more dangerous prey. Avid hunters prefer action and will not wander sadly or in their own rooms when having a mental breakdown.
FAQ
[b]1. What kind of animals will hunters target?[/b]
Spawned animals that don't belong to a faction, regardless of whether they have been designated for hunting. Pawns with psychopath, bloodlust or cannibal traits can also hunt wild humans. Hunters will only select targets that have reached at least 50% of their adult health.
[b]2. Will hunters still hunt designated animals?[/b]
Yes, they will still do the normal work of a hunter and will gain recreation/thoughts from doing so.
[b]3. How do avid hunters select their targets?[/b]
In effect, hunters use a weighted average system to select a random target. The chance of hunting a particular target is based on the race def's health scale, wildness and combat power, as well as the hunter's shooting and animal skills.
[b]4. How do I stop avid hunters from hunting?[/b]
Hunters still require a suitable weapon as well as the ability to move, manipulate and see. You can also interrupt a hunt by forcing them to do something else. However, avid hunters get bad thoughts when they don't get to hunt.[/b]
[b]5. Can anyone be an avid hunter?[/b]
Brawlers and Undergrounders will not be avid hunters, nor will pawns that are unable to be assigned the hunting work task because of disabled skills.
[b]6. Can I add this to an existing game?[/b]
Yes, but only new pawns will have a chance of having the avid hunter trait.
[b]7. Can I remove this from an existing game?[/b]
Removing this mid-game will likely cause errors if any pawns have the avid hunter trait.
[b]8. Is this compatible with <modname>?[/b]
Probably, this is just a trait mod.
