The Critters Pack is a Vintage Story mod by Chiappo, Razgriz and crumps. The Critters Pack adds squirrels, ducks, yaks, crows, and other small animals, expanding wildlife, food sources, and egg-laying behavior.
Why this mod is worth installing
Choose this mod if you want forests, wetlands, and mountain regions to feel more alive and need extra animal-based food options. It also suits players who enjoy taming birds and managing duck nests.
What The Critters Pack adds
The pack populates the world with additional critters, including squirrels, mallards, Pekin ducks, Call ducks, yaks, crows, and flying bird variants. Their habitats and behavior vary: squirrels favor forests, yaks appear around mountains, while some birds stay near wet ground or sticks.
Animals use varied diets built around berries, grains, vegetables, insects, eggs, meat, and other foods. Several creatures can become useful food sources, while predators and other default animals may hunt some of the added critters.
Ducks can search for seeds and berries, then lay eggs in a henbox or a dedicated duck nest. The craftable nest uses grass and sticks and is intended specifically for ducks, giving players another way to organize bird keeping.
Some birds can be scared away with a target dummy or scarecrow-style equipment. Tameable critters use the standard in-game taming mechanics, so their handling follows the familiar rules of Vintage Story.
