I have 4 swarms of flies in my food stockpile. xD How do i get rid of them? i cant afford losing food to the vermin.

If you have prepared meals or store your food in barrels, there'll be no real problem. It won't rot that fast.

You can't get rid of flies.

Pasture your cat in your food stockpile; keeps them from leaving it and makes sure they don't cause too much FPS drop by remaining in the room.

One thing I did was give all spiders the [HUNTS_VERMIN] tag.  Wish there was a [HUNTS_INSECTS] tag but that does.  And when I say all spiders, I mean any that weren't small enough to be vermin themselves, or that have decent webs.

That's right, GCS hunting vermin.  Weasels and Ferrets and quite a few lizards are doing some vermin hunting, too.  The end result is that my world doesn't have a whole lot of vermin, and cats aren't quite as necessary.

I think flies can get webbed too... once I open up the caves and the little spiders find their way in, I never seem to have flies anymore.

I didn't know weasels and ferrets were in the game.


Also, just in case people don't know, the vermin hunter tag is also responsible for animals "adopting" dwarves.

Not any more by the looks of it! I noticed when I was updating my goliath tarantula animal for the new version, there's this new tag on cats:

[HUNTS_VERMIN]
[RETURNS_VERMIN_KILLS_TO_OWNER]
[ADOPTS_OWNER]

So I'm assuming verminhunter behaviour is now dissociated from the adopt behaviour. Which I guess is nice, but I still gave my GTs both tags to keep them as cat-equivalents, it felt less cheaty.
