looking at the raws for dragon and guineafowl(first domestic egglayers i could find). i see no information about fertilizing eggs, perhaps what sphalerite mentioned covers this though... i know very little in the way of advanced modding, a thought, if your going to take the time and effort to mod dragons to be breeders, how hard would it be to produce a structure to 'remove fire gland' on dragon?

You'll need to mod the dragons to have the [PET] tag, since creatures without it don't breed at the moment.  Also, you'll need to tame the female dragons to get them to claim nest boxes.  You'll also need to mod them to have a [CHILD: tag, since that's also needed and they don't have it by default.

Dragon egg related raw

all this from a newb wondering if there was a reason to hangonto a dragons egg while running like a sissy girl

you sir/ma'am are correct in assuming i havent looked in the right places(or at all for that matter), i only registered lastnight, started playin about 4 days ago, but this dwarven !SCIENCE! has me greatly intrigued. just trying to field the 'dumb ideas' in hopes that something so very simple could have been overlooked(attempting to hero)

just brainstorming a few things quick here, worth a shot, sorry if there has already been !SCIENCE! covering my thoughts
as for the comment that resident tags make things cage trap immune, what happens if i were to embark just off their lair? being directly adjacent to them would that increase the chances for them to come over and say 'oh hai der' and would it ALSO remove their resident tags making them NOT trap immune? how far does the resident tags encompass or simply any embark that overlaps their 'home'. since you cant tame exotics yet through regular means, can you tame them through raws? though immediately that raises the issue with tames probably dont assault. what if you embark on tames? or would that just remove them from embark site then upon setting out?

bay12 main page updates mention somethin about taming ANY pet tags (exotic or not) but idk if thats implemented yet but soon TM

I wont have much time to play though, dont get fun time post work.

Currently I am trying to find a bunch of eggs with adventurer(s). Unfortunately I have been sidetracked by ineptitude with adventure mode, and bogey men. But with lots of use of worldviewer and legends viewer I know where the dragon lairs are. Which is pretty far apart .

I think I should have genned a smaller pocket world with massive numbers of beasts, a sort of overcrowded safari world of horrors.

Gen'd a small world with 50k semi mega 50k mega and 1k titans, walk 5 minutes find 2 bronze collossus temples, 4 hydra lairs, a dragon lair with 3x dragons and a stack of eggs(stole one first time i found it without waking them up after killing all the hydras i died a firey death had !FUN!)
