Pasture selector / issue?
« on: December 17, 2012, 08:13:37 pm »

Is there a faster or easier way to pasture certain animals in the pasture selection list?  like 5 wardogs but I want to place the 3rd one.

The indicator on the right side works "sometimes", not sure if it is a truetype font issue or what, but many times it is blank or not filled in even when animals are in pastures.. this happens especially when animals are in multiple pastures vs. cages.

any suggestions?

I usually tab the display to get the animal list using more of the display and then it will show even the truetype list fully including the indications of whether the animal is caged, pastured, etc.

I also sometimes purposefully release the animal I want to re-pasture from its current cage or pasture first.  It makes them a little bit easier to spot in the list then.

It is. Press F12 to toggle it off when it causes problems.

dfhack has a tool that lets you nickname animals. not that big an issue with a handfull of wardogs, but very nice for finding GCS#33
