Reasonably Sheltered

What is this mod

Reasonably Sheltered, or Sheltered for short, is a small mod that adds a key combination to make tamed/friend creatures stay/follow.

How to use

Telling your creature to stay

After installing and enabling the mod in Remix, you should be good to go. Ingame, hold down while pressing grab and the creature should stay where they are or follow. The mod will show a popup when the creature switches from follow to staying and vice-versa. If you dont see any popup, try moving closer to the creature.

Distractions (mechanic)

Some things, like for lizards when they see prey and for slugpups when they see predators, will cause the creature to be distracted. Distractions will make the creature follow its normal AI and switch back to follow when its finished. Make sure to be in a empty shelter as else your creatures will wander off!
