Initially, all animals encountered in Rimworld will be wild and totally apathetic to the situation of the survivors controlled by the player, however, after some time and a bit of effort, gamers can tamed, name, and possibly even train a new four-legged friend.
Rimworld How To Rename Animals
When animals are tamed, Rimworld will give them a generic name that often is composed of the species and a number for simplicity, such as "Husky 1", "Husky 2", and continuing in this pattern. Though, since this default mechanic is quite impersonal, it's understandable that players will want to give their adorable allies a better moniker.
Firstly, before an animal can be renamed in Rimworld, players will have to tame them, which can take a bit of work unless they get a bit lucky, as is usually the case in a game as unforgiving as this one.
Sometimes, animals that spend a lot of time near the player's colonists will self-tame after a random amount of time, however, a much quicker method is to show the critter how great of a caretaker one can be! If players command one of their colonists to tend to the wounds of an injured animal, that animal will immediately become tamed. Though, it is important to note that a tamed animal is quite different from a trained animal.
To better keep track of one's favorite animal companions, it is recommended to make sure "Show animal names" is active in the options menu, as this will allow the names of animals to appear on the map to more easily keep track of one's non-human allies.
In OwO Bot it is important to remember that all Pets are Animals, but not all animals are pets! Once a wild animal has been caught, added to a team, and used for hunting or battling at least once, it will become your pet. Although you can still use the owo zoo command to view all of the animals (including pets) that are in your Zoo, you can now also use the owo pets command to list only those animals which you have trained up as a pet.
Pen markers designate a zone for pen animals to be held, and one is required if you wish to "rope" a tamed animal and lead them to that pen. Pen markers determine which types of animals will be kept in each pen, and provide other utility as well. Each different pen that you wish to use needs a pen marker.
While all animals are tamable, some animals cannot be trained or set to an allowed area and instead must be led to a designated pen; if they are not led to a designated pen or have an accessible path to exit the map, pen animals will slowly wander away. Pens can only be defined by a pen marker.
Pen markers are cheap (30 material), and are required if you wish to actively use your pens, to lead recently tamed animals to that pen so they don't wander away. A pen is defined when a pen marker is placed within fences, walls, doors and natural terrain (hills) preventing any exit toward the sides of the map. However, unlike rooms, pens will expand if a gate, door or animal flaps is "held open", allowing you to easily expand, restrict or open pen areas when needed. (This also means that if you "hold open" a door leading to a pen, those halls and rooms will soon be visited by any pen animals, and their filth.)
An allowed area restricts where colonists can perform work and joy activities. It does not restrict them from pathing outside an allowed area in order to get to their destination. A hunter will not hunt animals that are outside of his or her allowed area. Firefighters will not extinguish fire that is not both in the home area and inside their allowed area. For this reason, an allowed area should ideally not be split between two areas, as pawns may unexpectedly walk into dangerous areas.
The "Invert" button swaps the area you've selected, making that area not allowed and everything else allowed. This can be very helpful when creating an area that allows everywhere except for a specific place, for example, to keep colonists out of threats, or to keep hauling animals out of the prison.
Clicking 'Manage allowed areas' allows the player to create or delete areas, rename areas, or invert an area. Inverting an area allows a player to effectively paint the entire map except for the area as drawn by the player. Colonists may still travel through an unallowed, unpainted void of an area. They just won't perform any activities there.
Tamed, unpenable animals can also be assigned to an allowed area. This can be useful for keeping animals from eating high-value crops, accidentally triggering spike traps, or wandering into the path of raiders who will attack them.
The "Ah c'mon don't pretend the possibility of cannibalism isn't part of why you were interested in spacelife in the first place" colony simulator RimWorld has launched a big early access update focused on expanding the most important thing in life: being near water. Beta update 19 lets players build bridges and build light buildings atop them, and baselords can also build power-generating watermills and run power cables under rivers. Let us abandon this terrible landlife. The update also adds new turrets, lets you rename animals, and lets your beloved Cow spot get diseases. Happy days. 2ff7e9595c
