Pasturing newborn animals.
« on: May 08, 2011, 02:02:55 am »

Currently, when an animal is born (example: baby alpaca), it is not assigned to any pasture.

Suggestion:  When an animal is born, if its mother is assigned to a pasture, the newborn animal is also assigned to the same pasture.

Makes sense, right?

It could be a workshop order "Pasture Newborn Animals", so the jobs get auto-assigned.

Fully support.

Btw: for this effect now, pretty much, try building a wall around the pasture area.

O.o? If the mother is in the cage, the babies are born in the cage?

Or are you talking about an advanced breeding farm, where the mother is kept in a breeding pen and her offspring is decided before they are born that they will be ripped from their mother and stuffed in crowded cage #39 with puppies #1-25.

PETA's gonna wanna talk to you.

Yep - if a pregnant animal gives birth while in a cage, its offspring will also be in the cage, but they won't actually be assigned to the cage so the nearest dwarf will automatically let it out.

P.S. If you don't get this note, let me know and I'll write you another.
It's amazing how dwarves can make a stack of bones completely waterproof and magmaproof.
It's amazing how they can make an entire floodgate out of the bones of 2 cats.

Unless the cage isn't built.

Pastures as a whole would work better if all grazers were put to pastures automatically and they functioned more akin to burrows than zones I think.

I agree. Pastures need a lot of work in general.
