"Those giant keas you sold me, they won't mate. They just walk around, eating, and not mating. You sold me... queer giant keas. I want my money back."

Is it known for animals to have different orientations? I can't get my pair of giant keas to even reserve a nest box, let alone to produce eggs. The cave crocodiles next door plop out almost fifty eggs each time I turn my back at them.

Interesting migrant, Sibrek Traderack the Killer of Ears...killed ten elves and seven animals, and "values independence and doesn't respect the law".

Do you always look at it in ASCII?

You get used to it, I don't even see the ASCII.  All I see is blacksmith, miner, goblin.

yes they can have different sexualities, but... there's also this thing where they might prefer a committed relationship, as in they want to get married. So that will mess with things right there but I would think they'd still leg eggs.

A silver shield, steel mail shirt, spear, greaves, and helmet. A fort full of smiths is going well. Once I get to barony level, I'll elect the champion to be a spear dwarf armed in artifacts.

*checks Dwarf Therapist* Well, fuck. The male is asexual. Damn those elves!

I guess it's time to put out more cage traps and get the breeding male the hard way. Oh, and to put giant kea roast back on the dining hall menu.

hmm it's weird that the female isn't laying eggs at all though.

They'll still lay eggs. Make sure someone's pet isn't hogging all the good nest boxes.

With the new changes, for the eggs to be fertilized and actually hatch you'll probably need a male peacock to be in an adjacent square with the peahen before they lay the eggs. I recall toady saying that's how sporing works now, males and females must be adjacent at some point. More than likely your peahen is sitting on unfertilized eggs.

Well this is not about my fortress, but I checked my current world in Legends Viewer. There are tons of mega/semimegabeasts in my world(120 years old), but only several of them are dead.

Keshan Sparkgems the Fiery Jewels was a female dragon born in -228 and died in 58 (Struck) by a elephant.
Lirina Flickerjade the Branded Sparks of Heating was a female dragon born in -165 and died in 111 (Struck) by a elephant.
Ino Deersky the Hoary Rain was a titan born in -288 and died in 41 (Struck) by a elephant.
Sastres Heroicsteels the Steamy Bravery of Crystal was a colossus bronze born in -169 and died in 30 (Struck) by a panda, gigantic.

I wonder how the hell did a gigantic panda kill a bronze colossus?

Did it fight 99 other giant pandas first?

In other news, I just learned how to activate stonesense via the DFhack console, everything looks much nicer in isometric than in flat grids...

Whew. About 5200 mechanisms installed and it _looks_ like i'm close to finished. Now to build another couple of hundred minecarts and determine the weight constellations. And hope there aren't too many bugs.

Two dwarfs died of old age and one of terminal stupidity (tried to snatch a tetrahedrite from beneath the wheels of a rampaging minecart; great, now i'm down _two_ mechanics).
