new features in 1.6 :
-sentient animals can form caravan by themselves ,and also trade with settlement (can turn off in setting)
-sentient animals can equip weapons(even guns lol) due to some fundamental changes in game.Since this is not intended feature, I make this not allowed as default,but you can turn on in the mod setting.

Original description from Mlie’s page:
Update of Ghosts mod
https://github.com/pale-ghost/sentientanimals
– Added option for setting the sentient-chance per animal
– Added option to always start with sentient animals
– Added an option when Animal Weapon is loaded to only allow Sentient animals to wield weapons


Adds a "Sentient" hediff in the brain that animals can very rarely randomly spawn with in the wild, or can be added with surgery by a highly skilled surgeon.
- Animals with the sentient hediff can do jobs like hauling, cleaning, nursing.
- They are always 100% trained with the most advanced training level, and their training never degrades.
- They have the ability to talk.
- Sentient is passed on 100% if both parents are sentient, or 1/4th of a chance if only one is sentient.
- They’re draftable
