Animals domestication - finally there!

[SekoETC]

I've seen pictures of bears sitting next to people. That seems to suggest that they should be tameable.

[Marian]

Bears should be tameable, and lions and other large predators too, they should just have a decent chance of suddenly turning on their naive owner who treats them like a baby or a puppy instead of a wild animal and ripping their face off, just like IRL.

I chuckled, and yes, I agree.

I have documented the Domesticable infobox, which should be used in conjunction with the Animal infobox on the pages for Domesticable animals on the wiki.

The infobox is here: http://wiki.cantr.net/index.php/Templat ... mesticable and it has fully documented parameters, that might shed some new light on how things work (or not).

I'm adding it to Animals aticles where appropriate in alphabetical order, and this will be a work in progress for a while. See http://wiki.cantr.net/index.php/Angora_goat for an example.

It'll be cool when you can tame hawks.

When you have a pack of domesticated animals out in a town which allows hunting, it is imho bad that also those will be chosen as targets for hunting, when you select the "all"-box. I see a serious attrition for domesticated animals in such a situation and trouble for characters, whose players aren't paying enough attention...

Now it's changed. Select all will no longer select domesticated animals.

EDIT: It might require ctrl+r on hunting page.

Agreed. I'm ready for a reliable source of eggs.

[sherman]

Why wouldn't hawks could hunt other small animals too?

[EchoMan]

There is no such feature implemented. It would do best as a separate suggestion in the suggestions forum I think.

[Andu]

If you manually select all animals when hunting, and then select the "none" checkbox, it just unselects the non-domesticated animals.

[EchoMan]

Noted. Thanks.

When can I get my doggy?

[Doug R.]

I thought butchering was an option, but I don't see it.

[EchoMan]

It's an option on the cleaver.

[Doug R.]

Ok. That seems backwards to me. Normally you click the resource to gather it, and the tools modify the collection. My assumption was it wasn't implemented, yet, so I wouldn't bother to build a (currently) "useless" cleaver, or would even know I needed a cleaver in the first place, since there's no mechanics to tell me that (i.e. a "you do not have the right tools to butcher this animal" message.)

This is like clicking an axe to start a wood gathering project, or clicking your claymore to attack someone. It doesn't really fit with the way the rest of the game works, hence my confusion.
