Hay/Animal Feed
« on: July 25, 2011, 05:13:45 am »

I'm looking for a Hay/Animal Feed mod, anyone know of one?

Alternatively, what would I have to do to make such a mod? I'm assuming I could make a reaction with some plants in the Farmer's Workshop or something (i.e. "Dry Cave Wheat"), but how would I make animals be able to eat it?

You can't. I believe grass is hardcoded, and so is what grazers eat (grass, and only grass).

That makes me a sad panda. Welp, off to the cave layers, I guess...

I have read that egg-laying grazers and pets will be fed. It doesn't really make much sense for a heavy grazer to lay eggs, though, since they wouldn't survive in the wild unless they made their nest in a dense bamboo patch or something. Alternatively, I remember when embarking with pet gremlins, they'd need food and drink, which is because of can_speak token, so you could just make them get their own food and drink that way. Although, if you're doing that, you'll probably end up spending more on the food and drink than you'll get back when you slaughter it, so you might as well just make the grazer tags more generous.
