Carturs Follow Command
Every tamed animal takes the follow/stay command, not just wolves and lox. Press Use on a tamed boar, chicken or asksvin and it follows you. Uses the game's own follow system, so it survives relogs and covers modded creatures for free.

Cartur's Follow Command
Every tamed animal takes the follow command, not just wolves and lox.
Walk up to a tamed animal and press Use (E by default).
- First press — "follows". It walks after you.
- Second press — "stays". It holds position.
Boars, chickens, hens, asksvin, and anything a creature mod adds. Same key, same two messages, same behaviour you already know from a wolf. No new keybind, and nothing to configure.
Worth knowing
It survives relogs. Who an animal is following is saved with it. Park a boar at the copper mine, log out, come back — it is still waiting.
It works on a server. The command goes through the game's own networked call, so other players see the animal move.
Petting still works. The pet effect plays on every press either way; the press now also toggles follow.
Modded creatures are covered for free. Nothing here is a list of animal names.
How it works
Follow-and-stay was never a wolf feature — it is a Tameable feature, and the
whole mechanism already ships in the base game. The only thing separating a wolf
from a boar is a single m_commandable checkbox that Iron Gate ticked on some
prefabs and not others. This mod ticks it on the rest.

CHANGELOG
Changelog
1.0.3
- Only tames that have a normal creature AI become commandable. A tame without one (some modded creatures) keeps the game's own setting instead of showing a Follow prompt that does nothing.
1.0.2
- Listing only. The store page is rewritten: it leads with what the mod does instead of a links block, and it links every Cartur mod. No code change.
1.0.1
- Page only - the mod itself is unchanged from 1.0.0. Adds a link to Cartur's Flooring, so every mod of mine points at the others.
1.0.0
First release.
Every tamed animal accepts the follow/stay command, not only wolves and lox.
