Help with Giant Badgers!
« on: August 06, 2011, 08:38:23 pm »

So I have tons of giant badgers on my map, and I have caged some of them. Can someone explain to me how to tame something?

Assign a dwarf the animal training labor, build a kennel (b-k), select "tame a large creature." You'll need some food to tame them though (1 serving per animal, doesn't matter what type of food).

Also, you'll need to go into the save's raws and change all instances of [PET_EXOTIC] to [PET]

Giant badgers cannot be tamed by default - you need the Dungeon Master.

Replacing [PET_EXOTIC] in their raw entry with [PET] makes it so they can be trained regularly.

Just like Putnam said while I was typing.

Add the [TRAINABLE] tag.

Tame them? MADNESS! Their enrage is far too valuable to get rid of. Weaponize the wild badgers, instead.

If the badgers are in a pasture the pasture has to have the kennel in it as well if you want to train them.

Don't train them. They aren't as deadly that way.

I know that they arent as deadly BUT I DONT WANT THEM KILLING OFF MY FORTRESS, AND TRAINING THEM WILL AT LEAST HELP ME AGAINST GOBLINS. So, after doing all suggestions, they still wont train.

Giant badgers have the [PET_EXOTIC] flag by default, you can't train them unless you mod them or you have a dungeon master and dungeon masters are currently bugged and don't show up.

Make the bottom of the mass pit connect to underneath the entrance tunnel to your fort that you have lined with floor hatches and fill it with giant badgers.

When the gobbos are standing on the floor hatches, pull the lever and introduce them to your wild giant badger welcoming committee.
