Can I tame unicorns?
« on: August 03, 2012, 04:27:01 am »

I caught 4 wild unicorns, 3 female and 1 male. But I don't know how to tame them or how to born a baby unicorn. Can anyone tell me?

In vanilla DF they are not tamable.

Unicorns lack any kind of pet tag and the trainable tag.  Despite this they should give birth in captivity even when wild. (i think)

If you want to make them tamable/trainable then you need to tweak the RAWs a little, this is not a change that would require a regen (you can alter your savegame raws)

Unicorns are in creature_standard.txt  They need [PET] and [TRAINABLE] to do what you are after I think.

I wish I had something cool to say about this.  Because it's really cool.

even [PET_EXOTIC] works now, [TRAINABLE] is only needed if you want war unicorns

I don't want war unicorn, only pets. In vanilla DF unicorn has [PET_EXOTIC] tag. So I can tame them (or their offsprings)? And how?

Don't get unicorn pets, build an automated system to farm them for their valuable bones and meat.

Er, no it doesn't...

P.S. If you don't get this note, let me know and I'll write you another.
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.
