Clustering them might help speed up capture. Usually the first caught is I think the pack leader, so the rest will still follow the group alpha, even if caged. caving numerous cages around may allow them to stumble into them as the hover near the alpha's capture site.Doesn't explain the three livers...
And many a brain has two halves. There, easiliy explained.
Aquifer would get stagnant, I think it gets that way if it is exposed to mud in some way, meaning you have to MANUALLY make wells, also preventing you from disturbing the dirt and stuff underneath it...FOund out the brook is stagnant also now, and I have no soap since I have no idea how to make it...
Yeah, my fort has the same problem with stagnant brook. Also my attempts at filtering through water pumps have utterly failed. I am assuming the only way to get clean water in .06 is an aquifer?
no bait is needed for cages... just having a stack of 5+ cages and for some reason animals and creatures are lured to them. They will even stand next to them for awhile then after one jumps inside a few others usually follow... a few will remain at the cages just watching their loved ones inside.Would this work if I clustered them? And anyone know where to send things in to update wiki info? I domesticated and slaughtered a giant grasshopper nad and holy crap, 75 pieces of meat in ONE go, two brains(wtf?), and rest was two or 3 except heart, and on wiki, it lacks the info of it
I uderstand that partially tamed animals will eventually go wild again. But has anyone else had problems with them being trap immune afterwords? I had one animal that went wild twice, and the second time it completely ignored all traps.They can still be trained while in the cages for future reference, also since I'm training rabid wolverines, this is why I haven't let them out. I've also found out that it can turn wild even if traders have it (have fun elves!) and I've also found out that you need to make sure you can access abundances of said animal, its hard to train wolverines to full taming capibilities when you cant even catch them (then again, my baitykins was used for target practice from a recent double ambush, leading to the capture of like 6 goblins... YAY PUNCHING BAGS AND WOLVERINE CHEW TOYS!)
Also, anyone figure anything out about the new taming?
might not get that giant jaguar, but that should certainly catch the mountainous bitey friends of the badger.I wanted the wolverines anyway, I'd love to see the look on the tree fondling hippi- i mean ELVES think about them when I have like 50 of them show up and brutally murder them XD
wolverines and things like badgers sometimes go berserk and the trap would work on them, but not on ost animals.Guess I better get to work on my cage industry
Creating a barrier so they have to pass certain squares and trapping those works.
Most wild animals, even predators, avoid tame animals when possible. The wolverine was probably attacked by the dogs. The giant jaguar will run away from the dogs, and from your kitten.So how do I make an effective trap to capture more of these wolverines?
Leather is hard to get without trading. Every animal, no matter how large just gives one tanned skin. So you are forced to breed tons of puppies. I wish you could just breed a few large ones, like cows or yaks and get like 20 leather per butcherIt would be more like 1 for dog, 2 for sheep, 5 for cow, and so on depending on how many dogs can fit in that animal
) and then trained it the same way making it trained, but not "tame", which adds to my question: whats the scales for taming animals? wild,semi wild, trained, tame?
