Breeding egg-laying animals is somewhat unintuitive in the current version of the game, especially for new players. To make things flow more naturally, I think nest boxes could use a toggle similar to that found in coffins.

My thought is to have nest boxes have a "Y or N" toggle that reads along the lines of "Harvest eggs automatically", set to Y by default. Setting it to N would make it so dwarves will no longer haul any eggs laid in that specific nest box, avoiding the hassle of having to navigate menus to manually forbid eggs every time you want them to hatch. This streamlines and automates the process for the player, while opening up the possibility of things like planning specific nest boxes specifically for breeding poultry, if they feel the desire to do so.

Keep in mind DF dwarves have perfect darkvision. They don't need torches (or any source of light for that matter) to see in the dark.

I've tried making subterranean megabeasts and it led them to not spawn at all, not even in Legends. So I'm fairly sure they're restricted to being above-ground.

I've been experiencing this problem since about last Tuesday (August 29). The wiki's pictures are all being displayed as either error text or red links.


I'm using the main page gallery as an example because it has the most pics in one page, but this happens in all articles of the wiki to me. Trying to directly check a picture's "page" will accuse it of not existing, when it clearly does.

Is anyone else experiencing this problem? At first I thought it was some sort of temporary server bug, but it's been nearly a week now.

Hello,

I've been experiencing problems with the dwarfvet plugin. Trying to use it causes the game to close itself without warning. i.e. an injured cat goes to the hospital to rest, a dwarf goes to the hospital to take care of it, and then suddenly the game shuts down completely. The time it takes for the game to shut down seems completely random; sometimes it happens right after the animal starts resting, sometimes it waits until the animal is taken care of, but it always happens eventually.

I've taken a look through the thread and the issue tracker and didn't notice any mention of this, so I'm wondering if I'm the only one with the problem. I've experienced it since the alpha releases.

With the coming changes and buffs to kobolds, are we gonna see anything similar for the cavern animal people tribes anytime soon, or is that for later? Right now their presence is almost negligible.

This happens every time a hostile animal gets beaten into the ground. I've seen it happen with cave crocs, cave toads, even giant cave spiders. Dwarves beat them until they're prone (I assume the game classifies it as being in a submissive position), the dwarves ignore it, then the animal gets back up and the cycle repeats.
