A few animal ideas
« on: January 13, 2009, 04:43:58 pm »

I had a few ideas/questions about animals, them being underground and wondering if people have any tips for underground farms.

1) Do tame female animals become pregnant if the only male animals around are untamed and wild?

2) Do animals suffer from Cave Adaption, ie: can I make an underground cattle/camel/mustox/dog/etc. farm and sell/train to be outside wardogs, without them puking everywhere?

Basically I'm trying to move the majority of my fortress underground, my underground river and first excursion into underground tower cap farming should support me, but will my defensive keep above have puking animals everywhere?

Pretty much everything pukes if you damage its stomach.

True. Didn't think i had to specify that though.
But my statement still holds true because all animals have died before they get to puke!  ;D

Only creatures with a certain tag in the creature raws will be susceptible to cave adaptation.

At the moment, the only such creatures are Dwarves.

regardless, the slime shooter will be completed, come hell or high water, which are both entirely plausible setbacks at this point.

If I can, I'm so making Batmen cave adapted.

Toady typically doesn't do things by half measures.  As evidenced by turning "make hauling work better" into "implement mine carts with physics".
There are many issues with this statement.
