Animal Variety Coats
Mod, 1.0, 1.1, 1.2, 1.3, 1.4
Ever wondered if animals really should all have the same shades?
I sure did, so I utilized the assembly from Animal Collab Project to give vanilla animals a bit of variation. The assembly was created by thirite and has been updated by Xen.
Some of you may have noticed a collaborator showing up in the sidebar. Azrael has kindly contributed many lovely variations and we're working on even more...

FAQs:
Can I add this to my current save? - It should be fine to add this mid-game, but please always make a backup of your save. Only newly spawned animals will be affected, though!
Will this change the colour of the leather/wool/clothes? - No, leather has a set RGB value. One species can only have one type of leather.
Could you add [animal]? - I will consider it for sure. Pure colour changes are fairly easy but I'll have to talk to my artist friends about custom patterns.
What animals do you have planned? - Ideally, all vanilla animals that I can do.
I have suggestions for colours/patterns or can help with textures! - Shoot me a message on discord @ cucumpear#4683 (but be aware that I'm quite picky!)
Will you make a patch for [mod]? - No. As of 1.1 I'm using the system used for vanilla animals. if a modder wants their animals to have variations they can easily do this themselves
I need a local install! - Here you can find the GitHub Releases[github.com].
I mod for free, but if you want to you can buy me a cuppa on Ko-fi[ko-fi.com] to fuel my tea addiction and give me a warm fuzzy feeling.
