| Summary | 0007983: Creatures without [CHILD] state cannot be tamed, only trained. | ||||
| Description | Before 0.40.xx, creatures without the [CHILD] state tag wouldn't breed. Now that they can, I've noticed that they can never be fully tamed since only child animals may be tamed. Perhaps this is intentional - it would probably make sense with dragons and rocs but not with Giant Cave Spiders, Helmet Snakes, and other mundanes - but if it isn't I figured it should be reported. | ||||
| Steps To Reproduce | Capture any non-child tagged animal and try to breed and tame it. | ||||
| Tags | No tags attached. | ||||
|
|
I didn't think any wild animals could be tamed unless they where children. The most you could get an adult wild animal was to masterfully trained. |
|
|
Yes, but it doesn't make much sense for lack of [CHILD] to implicitly make animals untameable even if they are trained since birth. There should be a separate tag for making creature impossible to tame. |
|
|
That's the point, you *should* be able to tame wild animals and you *can*, for the most part; however, animals that lack [CHILD] tags are never children and thus are untamable. |

Vermin can't be tamed either because they have no normal [CHILD] tokens, as mentioned by relation to issue 0009635, you could fix this applying the changes individually or giving them a separate creature variation template to use (and adding onto that). Toady has talked about animal domestication at perhaps a non child defined stage, not at great length or as a immediate development goal but certainly out there related to scholars & innovation devgoals or along those lines. Responses like that can be found in old FotF replies & comments on the DFforums like http://www.bay12forums.com/smf/index.php?topic=140544.msg6583653#msg6583653 Though there is a more directly mentioned reply from toady somewhere about his thoughts on properly taming creatures somewhere in that time period i can't find right now. At the moment until that development focus manifests we're stuck with adult's emerging from eggs or being live birthed (with a little specified size difference & growth) leaving this 'inconvenient gameplay feature' untouched without direct modding intervention. |
