So in my latest fort with -1000 degree temperatures, my only real source of meat is the offspring of my 29 dogs I embarked with. How fast do puppies reach adulthood?

[Trif]

It takes one year for puppies to grow up.

[Swonnrr]

The raw says [CHILD:1].
That means they go from childs to adults after one year.
[BABY:#] is the same for baby->child (or adult if no child tag) transition and [MAXAGE:X:Y] is how long the creature is expected to live.

I was about to tell you to read the wiki, before noticing that it wasn't on it (unless you dug through the raws).

I'm going to repost this into the wiki thread: I consider this age thing a fairly important information.
If peoples agree, I suggest to add it to the creature pages on the wiki.

Yeah, I always check the wiki thoroughly before asking on the forums, but I just have no experience with the RAWs. Maybe someday, but not today.

I would also have to agree that the age for adulthood should be listed on at least all domestic/tameable creatures wiki pages. I would certainly help if I knew how to find this info.

You'd want to wait a year after they become adults-I seem to recall something in the butchery section in the wiki suggesting animals reach their maximum size one year after adulthood.

This just means the creature has reached reproductive maturity, I believe.  It doesn't mean it's fully grown.  Dogs also have these tags:

Code: [Select]

        [BODY_SIZE:0:0:1000]
        [BODY_SIZE:1:0:12500]
        [BODY_SIZE:2:0:30000]

Which means they're size 1000 at birth, size 12500 at 1 year (when they reach "adulthood"), and size 30000 at 2 years.  Plus or minus individual variance.

Unfortunately there's no way to tell, in game, how old a given dog is (except puppies).  So it's not easy to tell when they're fully grown and ready for the slaughterhouse.

Unless you play with cage/pasture management for that purpose.
