Do GCS lay eggs?
« on: April 08, 2012, 10:51:39 pm »

My civ has domesticated them, and I have several breeding pairs. I want to know if I have to keep importing more, or if they'll start to reproduce on their own.

They dont lay eggs at all unless you mod them.

And even if they do lay eggs, you need to add the [CHILD:1] tag

make it lay 500 eggs and with child:1 it will still hatch 500 eggs. I don't really understand how the child tag works, maybe someone can explain it a bit.

That's not how the CHILD tag works - that'll make them become adults after 500 years.

It's amazing how dwarves can make a stack of bones completely waterproof and magmaproof.
It's amazing how they can make an entire floodgate out of the bones of 2 cats.

makes sense now I recall dwarfs. baby:1, child:12. It'll be a baby for 1 year, then a child for 12, right?

Close - it'll only be a child for 11 years (12 is the age at which it stops being a child).

oh lol.  How would you make them take 300 years to reach full size? kinda like a shelob/dragons thing (yet be adults after year 1-2)

That would be the [BODY_SIZE:x:y:z], which tells the game that at age x years and y days the average specimen of that creature is to be size z. So a GCS with [CHILD:1] and [BODY_SIZE:300:0:200000] would be sexually mature at age 1 year, but wouldn't reach maximum size until age 300 years (and their MAXAGE token would have to be altered, else they'd die of that at age 20-30, long before reaching full size).
