Blind Voracious Cave Crawlers
« on: October 14, 2015, 01:42:14 pm »

Every Voracious Cave Crawler I've tamed has turned out to be blind and thus unable to breed. Is this because they went blind upon brief exposure to sunlight, or is this a bug?

(Don't hold your breath though. I'm sitting here with a {x Windows Boot Manager x} hoping I do not go bezerk.)

They're blind because they have no eyes. The game registers them as being sight-impaired, when it should ignore this in the same way that it ignores "flight-impaired" dwarves. Cave crawlers can 'see' anyway, due to the [EXTRAVISION] token.

I don't see any child-related tokens in the cave crawler's raws, so I don't think they'll breed at all.

I am trying to make chickens lay bees as eggs. So far it only produces a single "Tame Small Creature" when a hen lays bees.
Honestly at the time, I didn't see what could go wrong with crowding 80 military Dwarves into a small room with a necromancer for the purpose of making bacon.
