[PTTG??]

Units have reached a new level of cowardice:

Urist Stonekiller: Blacksmith cancels forge war-hammer: Interrupted by duck.

Nono. That's pretty standard levels of cowardice.

[PTTG??]

I've been trying out a kobold mod. So far it's working, but I'm getting a LOT of Kobold eggs... and they're going in the food stockpile.

How do I go about getting these eggs hatched?

[G-Flex]

Only married creatures (in civs) will fertilize eggs, just like normal civ creature reproduction. In the case of a married kobold laying eggs, just forbid her eggs while in the nest box.

That's not cowardice.  Those ducks can be pretty annoying sometimes.  They'll whip around inside your clothes, then kiss you on the lips, then dance around while yelling "WOOHOO! WOOHOO! WOOHOO!", and no matter how many times you blast them with your shotgun during "Wabbit Season", they never die.

I mean, that'd interrupt anything you were trying to do.

To be fair, the eye and worm grass are literally made out of eye and muscle tissue, respectively. They aren't grass at all, so it is pretty damn weird that herbivorous grazing animals can eat them just the same.

Pigs are one of the new grazers. And in real life they will eat dam* near anything - including meat. I wouldn't be surprised if pigs would eat pork. Feral pigs are also well known for tearing up fields of crops overnight and harming whole ecosystems. For instance, the Conservation Department in Hawaii has to take drastic measures to kill feral pigs because they do not have any natural predators on the islands. Pigs are a seriously harmful invasive species there, rooting up the ground and killing a lot of native vegetation.

For that matter, many agribusiness farms were feeding "animal byproducts" to livestock - including cattle and chickens - until this practice was banned for fear of spreading Mad Cow Disease. They were doing this because animal byproducts (i.e., animal organs and other leftover tissues) were cheap and it made them gain weight. Even if the feed was doctored up to be more palatable to them, is it odd that herbivores would be willing to eat junk like that? I've heard that in some cases the animals were basically forced into becoming cannibals...

Lol! I think you may have been getting ducks and rabbits confused there...?

It would be nice if small fluffy harmless animals were ignored, or simply if the dwarf could not bear to ignore it the interuption could be something like:
Urist Stonekiller: Blacksmith cancels forge war-hammer: Strangling annoying duck
or something similar

Ducks, geese, and similarly-sized fowl can be quite a pain in the ass in reality. They will chase you down mercilessly if they feel the need, and will bite, and it will hurt. Not that it could actually beat you in hand-to-hand combat, but they aren't squirrels either.

Disable them in the stockpile and they'll stay in the nestboxes, but you want to dump infertile ones because they'll never hatch.

[Areyar]

Squirrels will make you bleed. :p

also: infertile eggs? Oo
edit: Ahh #3828

I liked the option of setting a pasture for my tame Phantom Spiders (it made silk production / collection easier). Now that you've fixed the "bug" of allowing vermin assigned to pastures, is there anything I can do to restrict my phantom spiders to a particular area? (I'd been using entry-less pits, previously, but they still wander out of there if they're able.)

[Areyar]

Possibly a stupid question and one that will probably be answered before you even read this:

I just read the description of the Giant Earthworm.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

A gigantic version of its tiny cousin, this long, slimy creature tunnels trough the rocks deep underground.

Does this mean you have added [TUNNELLING] as a tag and method of movement?

It should be called a Rockworm or maybe a Sqyrm (as in Wyrm) .

[Knight Otu]

Does this mean you have added [TUNNELLING] as a tag and method of movement?

Nope, it's currently just description. I think another of the new underground beasts is described as hanging from the ceilings, which also is just description.

Worse than that, you can cook or eat them, so they're even more useless than stone crafts. Might as well magma them or atom-smash them.

[Urist Imiknorris]

Can?
