[34.04] Listing vermin pets?
« on: March 16, 2012, 09:23:12 pm »
So, I have a miner who's fascinated with slugs.  My Animal Trainer traps & trains 'em (as small animals...   aka vermin) and my miner will literally go miles out of his way to adopt 'em.

Problem?  One slug has gone wandering off into the great unknown and now the Miner's spamming me with "cancels recover pet: animal inaccessible."

Fair enough, but I can't find it to see why the problem.  The Pets/Livestock list ('U'nits screen) doesn't seem to list vermin.  Not even pet ones.  It's listed under the Animals on the Status Screen (via 'Z') but we can't zoom to the animal from there.   :(

Anybody suggestions how to find the slippery li'l bugger?

Vermin aren't the only things difficult to find in this release.  I feel your pain.  Don't have any suggestions.  Maybe pen the kittys.  They do a job on vermin.  How's your food supply?  I now they eat them when it gets low.  Hope that's not the case for that vermin.

Ponds list them.  Have you tried putting it in a pond?  Good luck!  Knutor

If your Miner isn't going to do anything else, magma everything. Failing that, kill the Dwarf and reclaim the pick. Failing that, (o) (a) (x) (ignore announcements : all). Probably a bad case of levitating vermin.

Well, there are various vermin/pet fixes coming up in v0.34.06 (see here), so that release may fix your problem.
