Animal trainer will not continue to train?
« on: September 27, 2013, 11:37:31 am »

I'm playing a mod, Genesis (new one) and I have a razorback and an owl in a pasture marked as such and as a animal training site. The razorback and owl are not in cages. The razorback is semi wild, owl is trained to the first degree. For whatever reason, my trainer decided to stop there, and despite having no job, will not continue to train them. Anyone experience this before or have some answers?

If your knowledge on the species and the skill of the trainer arn't very high yet, this may be the best they can be for now. The trainer, in theory, continues to reinforce the training to prevent them from going wild. Only when the combination of knowledge (possibly) and skill is good enough will the quality of the training improve. More exotic animals are harder to train, which might explain the difference between the two animals. If you worry about the razorback going back to wild, put it in a cage untill you feel confident the training is of enough quality that the trainer will get there in time. Just trained instead of semi-wild is usually enough as long as trainers arn't overworked

ok, thanks :)

Unfortunately I can't share the results because the entire fort fell to a gobbie siege soon after.  90 dwarves down the drain. Of course, I was also experimenting with the sacrificial pit and occult shrine and that led to !!FUN!!

I found the razorback's corpse lying somewhere. Owl is still MIA.
