Question about animal reduction.

[Snickie]

Yes, I'd gotten that he hadn't hunted them to extinction. But like I said: if there were no animals there in the first place and animal migration is turned off, then there is no reason to expect to be any animals there when you get back no matter how long it's been since you were last there. You can't get something out of nothing. 0 + 0 ≠ 1. You get it?

Apologies for the thread necromancy, but it doesn't have a ton of posts, and they provide good context.

1) There are tons of bugs in the animals script
2) I broke the tool that I used to repopulate the animals, and unless it's fixed, large islands won't be getting restocked
3) Animal migration is turned off, so if you kill the last animal or it dies of old age, you're SOL.
4) Animals in places with no characters were removed due to server restrictions. If characters moved into those areas since, they may or may not be replaced if the animal tool is fixed.

Until animal reproduction is fixed 20 years from now, can you magically make animal products appear on the ground in populated towns? Animal products are an important part of the economy, especially for newspawns.

There is no magic in Cantr.

"Magic" was me being humorous. "You" meant GMs, not characters. So to rephrase: Would GMs be willing to put animal products on the ground in places that need them? Perhaps we could start a thread for people to request animal products.

[Doug R.]

No, sorry.

Seems a ridiculous thing to have to trade for, but I have sent chars on trading trips specifically for animal products. There are still towns with an abundance of the stuff or with animals that you might be able to convince them to let yours hunt.

I have characters in towns that would give it away free if it was asked for.
