Erin Eccentric

Yet another storyteller to add to your collection!

Erin Eccentric thinks the best way to enjoy stories is with an animal friend by your side! Life on the Rim can be tough so she'll occasionally soothe the aftermath of a raid or death with a new furry companion. Small animals will sometimes migrate over too! She will often spice things up with more random events while keeping insect infestations less frequent.


Erin's main mechanics are as follows:

• Slightly more aggressive than Randy Random.
• 20% higher chance of self tame after raid or certain deaths (deaths from flu and the like aren't included). The animal that tames is based off colony wealth. Market value of animal: wealth ratio is 1:150.
• 25% less chance of infestations overall.
• 10% less chance of manhunter, but if 10 wild animals killed within 5 days, 15% higher chance for a short while.
• Small animal herd migration reenabled. If Erin Eccentric is active, it replaces the vanilla one and adds in the forests and swamp biomes for it to appear. Animals will be lower than 1 body size.
• 20% higher chance of animal bonding in first year.
