If they can go work after the eggs are laid, it may well work perfectly! Has nobody tried eating them yet?

I'm going back and doing various tweaks for appearance/attribute mods now, and removing most clothing since it's such a hassle to deal with due to current won't-use-clothing bugs.

[Unholy_Pariah]

currently none have hatched and im not sure if they will
in my for they are called nothing eggs when hauled to a stockpile hence my uncertainty

You probably forgot to actually give the eggs proper materials. Post the creature raws again.

i dont do much work with eggs so i just stuck

under [CASTE:FEMALE]... it worked for my blastoise

well its been a year... i dont think its worked for my raxid prototypes sorry warlord

Did you add the taggs for BODY DETAIL PLAN:LEATHERY EGG MATERIALS or what have you?

Egg Size also dictates how long they take to hatch.

EDIT: It's also worth noting eggs won't be fertilized unless they're married - I managed to find out that much on the wiki. If nobody's married, nobody's eggs are going to be hatching anytime soon.

[Unholy_Pariah]

lol i had no married couples :/
they all had social skills tho

edit:found the naming problem
     added [CASTE_NAME:dwarf:dwarves:dwarven] to the raxids and now i have dwarf eggs...

you think if we put a different [CASTE_NAME:xxx:xxx:xxx] tag under each caste we can determine the gender before the eggs hatch?

[Warlord255]

Where's the fun in that? Everyone loves baby surprises. Unless you're a single mother, anyway.

[Unholy_Pariah]

but if we know the gender/caste before birth we can control the colony ratios and name the mod sim ant

i used to love that game

I suggest you look up the tokens you're using so that you have a better idea what you're doing. Blindly copying and pasting stuff is bound to lead to trouble.

For instance, you have LOCAL_CREATURE_MAT:EGGSHELL:SOLID even though the creature doesn't define a material called EGGSHELL. There's a body detail plan object that adds those materials, check out alligators and birds to see what I mean.

Out of curiosity, why are you calling them dwarves?

[Unholy_Pariah]

because im blindly copying and pasting to test random theories

[Warlord255]

Into Autumn of the first year with a test fort. The females will claim nest boxes, but I've seen no layings yet. Also, the poor little bastards get murdered viciously by harpies.

[Unholy_Pariah]

you sure they dont lay eggs?

try building a food stockpile that allows eggs and build a single nest box in the room with it while hiding the rest behind a forbidden door

Also make sure, like I said, that the eggs' materials are properly defined. Otherwise, I'm not sure what might result.
