Sit! - Simple Pet Stay
A simple mod that lets you order your pets to "Sit!
A simple mod that lets you order your pets to "Sit!" (Stay in place).
Sitting requires 'Guard' (Obedience) training.
* You can disable this in Mod Settings to allow untrained animals and livestock to sit immediately.
📖 Background
- When fighting alongside pets with the "Follow master while drafted" option enabled, it is great that they stay close to their master. However, while the master is hiding safely behind cover, pets often wander around into enemy firelines and end up taking heavy fire.
- "I want them to fight alongside their master, but I want them to wait safely behind cover and protect their master when melee enemies approach."
This mod was created to solve that exact problem.
🚀 How to Use
- Select a pet that has completed "Guard" training.
- Click the Sit! gizmo at the bottom of the screen.
- Click the cell where you want them to move and wait.
- To cancel, select the animal again and click Cancel Stay.
🌟 Features
- Multi-Selection Support:
Drag-select multiple animals to order or cancel stay all at once. - Customizable Training Requirement:
By default, pets must complete "Guard" (Obedience) training to sit. You can disable this requirement in Mod Settings to allow untrained animals and livestock to sit immediately. - Safety Features:
Automatically cancels the stay order if the animal is urgently hungry, downed, or suffers fire panic.
💡 Useful Tips
- Safe Waiting in Killboxes:
Enable "Follow master while drafted" to bring them to the killbox, then order them to sit on the same cell as their master or behind safe cover to keep them out of enemy firelines. - Ambush & Defense (Stopper):
Order pets to sit around choke points or corners where enemies will enter. When an enemy steps into an adjacent cell, the pet will attack immediately without moving from its spot. - Pseudo-Attack Command:
Order pets to sit right next to an enemy to send them into combat at a pinpoint location. - Using with Sentience Catalysts:
For animals that cannot learn "Guard" by default, using a Sentience catalyst advances their trainability so they can learn "Guard" and be ordered to sit. Recommended for players who prefer an immersive, in-game progression!
💾 Installation & Removal
- Safe to add to or remove from existing saves at any time.
