[Beeskee]

It's the 15th year or so into my fort, one that is a member of a dead civilization. 15 years and no trade caravans. Even worse, I chose "Play now" and I did not receive a pair of breeding cats. If you don't think that's bad, I have one word for you: Vermin.  Already one cat has died of old age, and I'm guessing the second will kick the bucket at any time.

What I would like to know is, can I make cats or other animals that are domestic show up as wandering animals in my existing fort's biome, (so, without starting a new fort) without causing conflicts or errors, and if so, can I trap them in cages and tame them without a dungeon master? (No civ to send me one)

I tried searching so if this has been asked already, sorry.

You would have to add the [LARGE_ROAMING] and appropriate biome tags to the animal to get it to show up in the wild. However, you would have to generate a new world as well.  I think. I'm still new to modding, so I'm not entirely sure.

You could instead try adding [VERMINHUNTER] to one of the creatures that can be found in your fortress. I don't think that would require generating a new world.

If you want to tame exotic animals, go into your /data/save/region*/raw/objects/ folder, find them there (windows search looks into .txt files) and change [PET_EXOTIC] to [PET].
