I bought a caged cougar, and now it is just sitting there and i don't know how to use it, or what it can be used for.

What can i do with a caged cougar?  and how do i do do those actions?


also, i have a shit load of seeds but dont know how to put them in barrels

[Acperience]

The cougar is like any other pet, just larger and tougher. However is it tagged PET_EXOTIC so you can't train it into a war or hunting animal.

The solution:

Use NoExotics to remove all the exotic tags from animals. (use in your region folder to change your current game)

After it is done, use the kennels to train your cougar. Then use it as a soldier, guard, anything you can think of.


For seeds, they go into bags, and the bags go into barrels.

when i click the link you supplied i get nothing but a bunch of gibberish when i click download

[Acperience]

did you click the 1st link or the 2nd one?

The first is a direct link to the rar with NoExotics the second is the source code.

oh also...the link I gave was to the thread that contains the download links, not the download link itself.

[ltprifti]

i know, i clicked the first one, which one do i click?  how exactly do i do it?

[Acperience]

Just clicking it should bring up the download. Inside the rar is a single .exe which you place into your DF directory and execute. Then move it to your save game directory (region1, region2, etc) and execute it there.

What browser do you use?

Does that work for Dragons too?


BTW, How does Dragon get stuck in a maple cage?


By walking into it apparently....

[Acperience]

It should work for every single creature with the NoExotics tag, whether it be from vanilla DF or not.

Avoids you needing that pesky dungeon master to train the cool animals.

More info in the actual thread.

i have safari, and i'm using a mac.  will it still work?

[Acperience]

I'm...not sure....I have almost no knowledge of macs.
I'm using Firefox on Windows7.

NoExotic is an exe, I'm not sure how/if macs run that. I tend to forget people play DF on macs too.

[ltprifti]

macs cannot use exe so i guess not.  wat are the other options for a cougar?  slaughter possible?  or other useful options?

[Acperience]

Well you bought the cougar, so it's tame. You can build a restraint and tie the cougar near the entrance to ward off thieves.

[ltprifti]

can thieves enter through channels?  i have one going into the middle of my fortress

[Acperience]

Yes they can.

Shouldn't it be possible to just open the .txt files with the info on the various creatures in the game and do a find>replace [PET_EXOTIC] > [PET] ? I don't see why you need a special program to do that.
