Stop stealing your own eggs!
« on: May 08, 2011, 08:46:51 am »

Or maybe this should go in modding.
Anyways, I'm having trouble with an egg-laying race. It claims nestboxes, doesn't go tothem for a while, and when they get there they tend to wander off, leaving their eggs to...not be able to hatch.
And then, if I un-forbid them, the eggs are gathered and put into food stockpiles. Since they don't appear in the kitchen menu, I assume they sit there, gathering dust.

Any idea of how to solve some of these problems? And should this actually go in modding? EDIT: Aside from not eating their own eggs, that would be creepy...Maybe some way to ge them to not store their eggs in food stockpiles...

You can change the setting of your food stockpiles to not accept eggs

What if I want non-kobold eggs to get put in the stockpiles?

Fine-tune the egg filter on the food stockpile.

Congrats, Psieye. This is the first time I've seen a derailed thread get put back on the rails.

Yeah...surprised I didn't think of that before.
Huh, different castes show up differently on the stockpile screen.
