Cartur's Follow Command

Every tamed animal takes the follow command, not just wolves and lox.

Walk up to a tamed animal and press Use (E by default).

  • First press — "follows". It walks after you.
  • Second press — "stays". It holds position.

Boars, chickens, hens, asksvin, and anything a creature mod adds. Same key, same

two messages, same behaviour you already know from a wolf. No new keybind, and

nothing to configure.

Worth knowing

It survives relogs. Who an animal is following is saved with it. Park a boar

at the copper mine, log out, come back — it is still waiting.

It works on a server. The command goes through the game's own networked call,

so other players see the animal move.

Petting still works. The pet effect plays on every press either way; the press

now also toggles follow.

Modded creatures are covered for free. Nothing here is a list of animal names.

How it works

Follow-and-stay was never a wolf feature — it is a Tameable feature, and the

whole mechanism already ships in the base game. The only thing separating a wolf

from a boar is a single m_commandable checkbox that Iron Gate ticked on some

prefabs and not others. This mod ticks it on the rest.

Install

Use a mod manager (r2modman / Gale) and it pulls in BepInEx for you.

Manually: drop CarturFollowCommand.dll into BepInEx/plugins.

Free, and always will be. If it improved your game you can tip me on Patreon.

Install & use Install: BepInEx plugin

  1. The archive from playbuff is the mod itself — usually a BepInEx plugin (a .dll or a plugin folder once unzipped).
  2. Recommended: use a community mod manager (such as r2modman) — pick this game, import the mod, and the manager sets up BepInEx and its dependencies for you.
  3. Manual route: install the BepInEx loader in the game folder, then drop the unzipped .dll or plugin folder into BepInEx/plugins/.
  4. Launch the game — the BepInEx console logs every plugin it loads; seeing this mod in the log means it is installed.

Mods with listed dependencies need those installed too, or they will not load. Options are usually changed in-game or in the plugin's config file. In multiplayer, the host and every client need the same mods installed.

Dependencies

Install these first, or the mod will not work:
