Selectively breed alligators for the best hair.

Well, in 31.01 at least...

[Paul]

This post has inspired me. I'm selectively breeding elephants now.

The last two calves I slaughtered gave me over 100 meat each. Gigantic meat roasts will buy out the caravans.

this post has inspired me to alter embark points so I can begin with a small herd of cattle, horses, and donkeys to carry out selective breeding with. also to cage every wild animal i can find. now if only i can wait until they're all grown to cull them...

I really hope dogs will soon only have one color..or close to it anyway, although a gigantic chocolate dog with an ivory head would be cool looking...also my one male dog is gigantic/fat (Hopefully muscle can develop..sigh) and my females are all gigantic, hopefully they do well).

Nothing cogent to add, but I had a ton of trouble finding this thread with the search, so I'm subscribing to get a look at your Mendelian and Mengelean escapades.

I am picturing that as literal chocolate and literal ivory and it is AWESOME.  also terrifying.  also probably procdurally generatable.

The forgotten beast Mr. Fluffles has come! A great canine made of chocolate. It has a head of ivory stone. Beware its deadly bite!

Has anyone tried breeding fb's?

I don't think they're capable of breeding.  Even if they were, you'd need to capture two of the same kind, which (to my knowledge) is impossible.

[Eagle_eye]

I suppose so. Maybe we can mod dragons to mature in a few days, and create a race of superdragons?

[Kagus]

Minimum growth time is one year.

Any other dreams I can crush?

[Retro]

Minimum growth time is one year.

I think that's changed, now, actually. In the raws where size by maturity level is listed, years and days are used to define growth stages. Example from dwarves:

Code: [Select]

These tags establish the growth phases of the creature's life.  The format is (BODY_SIZE|<year>|<day>|<average size>).

[BODY_SIZE:0:0:3000]
[BODY_SIZE:1:168:15000]
[BODY_SIZE:12:0:60000]
Looks like dwarves go from babies to kids at about a year and seven months old. We could probably make anything have a final maturity level at 0:1 (one day old).

This thread is awesome.

I think the traits of the animals should make more a difference in terms of results though.  There seems to be only minimal difference in quantity of meat yielded and no difference in quality which is a shame.

100 meat?  Buy a Jabanero from the Hermitage, combine with a Big Rock to make Heavy Hot Sauce, then combine with your Saucepan to make a 5 Alarm Saucepan (+7 Mysticality) ... Oh, wrong game.
