About Dog Mod
From Factorio Mod PortalAdds a dog to Factorio. Currently he runs around, barks, attacks enemies, and has a small inventory. Planning to make him do basic construction / resupply tasks. The goal is to make him speed up the early game and ease early game annoyances. Also planning to make him upgradable by giving him his own power vest, so he can be helpful in the later game.
Adds a dog (model from https://blenderartists.org/t/siberian-husky/1182678) to Factorio!
Currently he runs around, barks, attacks enemies, and has a small inventory. You can click on him to change his inventory and also nudge him if he's in the way.
Planning to make him do basic resupply tasks. For instance, if your burner mining drill is out of fuel he might re-fuel it, or resupply guns. Maybe he can do construction or crafting, especially after he's upgraded. The goal is to make him speed up the early game and ease early game annoyances.
Also planning to make him upgradable by giving him his own power vest. He can get increased health and damage, increased inventory size, maybe craft items, maybe go over obstacles, etc. Power vest will be an inventory slot.
FAQ
Q: What does the dog do?
He will follow you around, attack enemies, and sometimes try to prevent incoming biter attacks.
Q: How can you interact with the dog?
You can click on him to access his inventory. You can also nudge him if he's blocking something.
Q: Can the dog die?
He can die, but he will respawn after about a minute with items and state intact.
Q: Barking is getting annoying
You can change the bark frequency in the settings, or disable barking altogether.
Q: Is there a public repo?
I'm planning on making the repo public but idk where yet.
For now if you find any bugs (and there are plenty of them), you can post in the discussion and I'll try to fix them.
