.19 Questions
« on: February 21, 2011, 06:59:05 pm »

Hy all,
i have some questions about the new farming features (i like them so far, all hail the Toady One)
- Can animals born in a pasture zone automatically be assigned to that zone or we need manually assign them when they born?
   if not is it a bug, a to-be-feature or just works as intended?
   if yes, well how do we do it?
- Is there a way to make bigger zones than 31x31?
- Can nesting boxes be set to not collect eggs from? so i can have some population growth with birds? (similar to bee hives and their splitting)
And some others too (modding related):
- Does egg laying civ-entry need boxes to reproduce, or is it only for animals (or does that work with intelligent tag)?
- The bug from genderless castes marrying in an intelligent race other castes has been resolved (can we do the ant-men civ? :D )

1 - We need to manually assign them.  It's not so much a bug as an oversight, I think, and I haven't seen Toady express any intention to change it but that doesn't mean anything.

2 - No clue if they can be bigger, sorry

3 - They cannot directly; you have to forbid the eggs in the nestbox before anyone grabs them.

4 - Egg-laying civ dudes to need boxes.

5 - I don't know what you mean, sorry :-/

i mean that if a creature has/had a genderless caste (like ants workers/soldiers) it could marry a gender having one(male/female) in game, and so make the reproduction less probable (as that marriage will result in no children)
