Update 0.9.2: Animal Breeding, Item Placement, better Controller Support [EN]

Quote from Ozorvals

They are some kind of genetics and the foal will inherit its coat color from one of its two parents ? or its just random ?

They will usually inherit the coat color from the mother, but unfortunately not all variants are available yet... but hopefully they will make it into the game soon

Quote from MommaT

I've got both cows/bull and sheep in a largish (way bigger than 32) pasture. Y'know, cow sized. But it looks like I'll have to move pairs into breeding pens if I want milk and babies. I do. However, the wild cows mooning from outside the fence are a bit much.

It seems that the actual range is indeed still lower than it should be, so right now it seems to be indeed necessary to move them into a much smaller area I will fix that with the next hotfix!

Quote from MommaT

Also, I have been riding around my entire island and there is not a single Stallion to be found. It really is an Amazonian queendom! That's OK. This queen has the power of creation! Mwahaha! (Not that I need more horses, actually. )

The spawn chance for male or female variants is basically the same for all animals But unfortunately it's really difficult to distinguish stallions from mares... I will see if we could make them more easily distinguishable in the future

Quote from LittleBoBleat

No, they lose their pregnant bellies after standing up. I have been idle-standing and watching them (no gameplay) during pregnancy to prevent any other possible influence. I don't know if it makes a difference, but no animals have become pregnant (yet) naturally. They were all pregnant via command.

Hmm... maybe it's related to the command... I will check that out... but with the recent hotfix, chances should be much higher now that animals become pregnant naturally

Quote from LittleBoBleat

Will there be an adjustable settings option to allow for faster maturity (and other animal husbandry settings) time? 20 hours to mature and 5-6 hour for pregnancy is a long time to wait for single player, assuming it is real hours vs game hours.

No, unfortunately there is no setting for this (yet). But I've changed this with the recent hotfix: it now takes only ~5 hours until baby animals mature. But this does not affect naturally spawned baby animals (i.e baby animals you find in the wild).

Quote from LittleBoBleat

To clarify, is the one hour from newborn to juvenile or total maturity (in comparison to the quote above which says 20 hours).

Sorry for the confusion, it's from newborn to juvenile (and 5 hours in total for total maturity)

Quote from LittleBoBleat

On a separate note, is there a place / file I can look into to see these values or adjust them manually for myself?

Yes, almost all values are stored in the database. It's an SQLite database called "definitions.db" that's located in the game directory in "Data/StreamingAssets/". You will need an SQLite editor to open and modify it (you can use DB-Browser, for example, which is available for free)

The relevant tables are the "npcs" table (the "lifetime" column determines how long it takes until an animal either dies or reach maturity) and the "npcs_breeding" table (containing all relevant data about pregnancy). A few things are hard-coded though (e.g. duration from newborn to juvenile).

Quote from Bamse

- For horse i always i get variant 0 (light brown) even mother are different variants.

Yeah, unfortunately there is only one foal variant available atm... but I will add the missing variants soon

Quote from Bamse

- For cow i always get same variant as mother

This is actually intended. Right now the male color isn't taken into account unfortunately... this is something that will probably change in the future (but this will probably also require more animal variants)^^

Quote from Bamse

So question is any got male version of adult from babies get from breeding? Or i was exceptionally unlucky and i got all babies as female variant when they grow, or is something wrong and no male from breeding? Some other player reported same thing, just female.

Hmm... that should have been random, but maybe there is a bug that grown up calves are always female Thanks for letting me know, I will check out what's going on there!

Today we have released another small hotfix for the game btw It fixes a few minor issues. This update is optional for multiplayer servers.
