About this mod Author’s original text

Ranching

Adds a skill that increases item yield for slaughtering tamed creatures.

Starting at skill level 10, you can see when tamed creatures become hungry again.

Starting at skill level 20, animals that are getting tame aren't afraid of you anymore and you can keep them company, to reduce the time required for them to get tame.

Starting at skill level 40, you can see pregnancy related information for tamed creatures.

All of this can be configured.

Can be installed on a server, to enforce the configuration.

Example project for the SkillManager.

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:
