Carturs Follow Command
Every tamed animal takes the follow/stay command, not just wolves and lox. Press Use on a tamed boar, chicken or asksvin and it follows you. Uses the game's own follow system, so it survives relogs and covers modded creatures for free.Cartur's Follow Command
Tamed animals other than wolves and lox take the follow command too.
What it does
Walk up to a tamed animal and press Use (E by default). The first press tells it to follow you. The second tells it to stay where it is. It is the same prompt and the same pair of messages you already know from a wolf, so there is no new keybind and nothing to configure.
Vanilla only lets wolves and lox be commanded. The mod turns the same command on for boars, chickens, hens, asksvin and any other tame that has a normal creature AI, including ones added by creature mods. A modded tame without that AI keeps the game's own setting, so you never get a Follow prompt that does nothing.
Who an animal is following is saved with the animal by the game's own code, so a boar parked at the copper mine is still waiting when you log out and back in. The command is sent through the game's own networked call.
How it works
Follow and stay is not a wolf feature. It is a Tameable feature that already ships in the base game, and the only thing separating a wolf from a boar is one m_commandable checkbox that Iron Gate ticked on some prefabs and not others. This mod ticks it on the rest, after the game has read the prefab value. Everything else, the button press, the toggle, the messages, the networking and the save, is vanilla code. The mod patches one method, Tameable.Awake, with a postfix.
Compatibility
There are no settings. Because nothing here is a list of animal names, creature mods that add tameable animals are picked up without any setup.
