📋 About This Mod

Have you ever found it disappointing with the lack of any creature/animal companions in the game? Tired of having to reanimate or "mind control" creatures all the time? Annoyed that you cannot roleplay as a Xenoweapons specialist?

Xeno Master is here to take care of that.

Xeno Master is a rather different creature companion mod that provides you a way to tame the various different faunas/creatures within the Settled Systems. Your captured alien pets will behave more like real companions rather then being mind controlled or reanimated drones.

Xeno Master allows you to capture creatures through the use of an item called the Creature Cooperation Device (or C. C. D. for short) and manage them with a portable computer called the Xenobox.

- The C. C. D. is your main method of capturing creatures. They are thrown similar to that of Impact grenades, except with a few major key differences. The CCD does not deal any meaningful damage, instead when the CCD gets a direct hit on any creature, it will attempt to contain them into the Xenobox. The CCD follows a catch formula that will be listed later here.

- The Xeno P. R. O. D.! An alternative main method and more "traditional" style of capturing creatures! Can also serve as an EM melee weapon! Capturing creatures this way uses prod taming batteries, which are special misc items.

- Hatch Alien Eggs! An alternative method for capturing creatures! Those Alien Eggs you find randomly in the vanilla game now serve a purpose! Build an Alien Egg Incubator in any of your outposts/ships and then place your alien egg in it to incubate your eggs!

- The Xenobox is your main method of managing your alien pets, this will allow you to send a xeno pet out to accompany you in your travels and behave as a real companion. This also serves as the storage for your pets, you can have up to 400 pets at a time!

- Have a companion not from Xeno Master? No problem! Xeno Master uses its own follower framework which means you can bring a companion (ex: Vasco, Andreja, Barrett, Adoring Fan, etc) and a xeno pet with you! 100% Compatible with The Gang's All Here!

- Caught a beautiful blue creature in a frozen biome? They will have that look everywhere! No more "chameleon" color swapping! Which means you can bring your newly caught blue creature to a Volcanic or Forest biome and they will still keep that look, no matter what.

- Special Xeno pets that have their own "backstory" and a unique way of obtaining them. Each of them having their own special ability granted to you once you have reached max friendship (or affinity) with them.

- Give your pet a unique name from the 600+ different names to choose from!

- Friendship system! Think of it as the affinity system for human companions. Your alien pet will react on how you treat
