Issues with Animal Breeding
« on: July 26, 2014, 04:03:03 pm »

Hiya,

So I embarked with a pair of one-humped camels and a pair of two-humped camels, intending to create a herd of camels.  But, three years later, they have yet to produce a single camel calf (yes, I do have a male and female of each).  In previous versions I always had calves by the first spring, did something change in the raws (I haven't touched the creature_large_tropical.txt file), or am I suddenly doing something wrong?

This is what I did:
1) male + female of each camel type
2) 31x31 animal pen zone with plenty of grass & access to water (not that they need it...yet)
3) wait for calves (...3+ years & still waiting...)

Any ideas?

P.S. As an added note, my cats and modded-in aurochsen (added to the creature_domestic.txt file) are producing normally.

Hiya,

I ended up posting my save on the bug tracker, it's #0007651, if you want to add yours (though I have no idea if they're related).

I have issues with getting any mammal births in my 40.04 fort. Fort is now almost 2 years old, I have cats and dogs (both male and female) and no births whatsoever. The bugbats in the caverns seem to mate fine (I occassionally get the message, bugbat has given birth to pups), the birds are laying eggs properly as well. I haven't seen any dwarf babies yet either although this might be due to lack of time and to few couples of married dwarfs. Both animal births and dwarf births worked for me in 40.03. Any idea what could be causing that?
