Why are my eagles starving to death when they should not need to eat?
« on: August 31, 2011, 03:26:37 pm »
As my eagles are now starving to death. (I modded raws to have them come with me on Embark) I guess i did something wrong?

Here is what i edited in the raws

I was told to make them a Pet and non-exotic if i wished to embark with them.

I also made them cost far less and to have 3 eggs in a clutch.

Giant eagles should not need to eat anything.  They don't graze and aren't intelligent.  What modding have you done to them?

Post the entire raws for BIRD_EAGLE_GIANT (i.e. not just the stuff you say you modified) and we'll be more likely to be able to help you.

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.

Comparing to the original giant eagle raws, all that's been modified was changing [PETVALUE:700] to [PETVALUE:5], adding [COMMON_DOMESTIC], changing [PET_EXOTIC] to [PET], and changing [CHILD:1] to [CHILD:3], so it's not clear why they're requiring food.

I also made them ... have 3 eggs in a clutch.

No you didn't - you made them spend 3 years as "hatchlings" instead of 1 year. Clutch size is specified using the [CLUTCH_SIZE] token, which is already set to 1-3.

Oh my bad(just fixed it)... But hmm thats odd.

Ok so after fixing the age thing i genned a new world and re-embarked perhaps the child age caused the bug.

Dogs have BONE_CARN, but don't seem to need to eat.

If you had bothered to read the original post, you would've seen that that's exactly what he did.
