Ambushes, caravans, starving cats... wait, what?
« on: February 10, 2011, 03:46:12 pm »
Suddenly I saw kitten corpse. Looked it in messages and found out that it starved.
Ok, I haven't touched DF in a few months and it seems I don't know about some new additions. Sorry for asking here, couldn't found that in wiki.
So. a) since what version animals require food?
     b) How much food/vermins required for a cat in season?
     c) Any other information.


... or it is because of inattentive modding?

Considering the general state of DF, I think Einstein and Newton are already rotating fast enough that you could hook them up to pumps and use them to kill Elves.

Only intelligent creatures that are part of your fortress need to eat.  If a kitten starved to death, you must have modded cats to be intelligent.

Any intelligent fool can make things bigger and more complex... It takes a touch of genius --- and a lot of courage to move in the opposite direction.

1) Animals do not eat
2) Kittens have the VERMIN_HUNTER tag making them catch vermin and other stuff like adopted dorfs
3) Since when can you see the cause of death on a corpse?

He looked in the messages, not on the corpse screen.

I had a dwarf teleport into a rock and suffocate. I would say inattentive modding, if not some bug.

Ah, that's it. Part of my little project codename "Fluffycuddlekissesjoy" intended to turn cats into deadly spawns of doom and cuteness.
