Pregnant animal eating crazy ammount of food.

Post by Zarxes »

So my pregnant ewe ate the whole harvest of a 6x6 beetroot field in under 8 hours. Considering Beets take about 2 Days i would need about a 15x15 field just to support 1 pregnant sheep. That sounds a little exessive to me. Extrapolating on this would mean that If i would want 2 pregnant sheep, cows and a pig i would need to make a 36x36 (~1300 Tiles) field just to keep them fed. Also my animals dont seem to get any benefit of my food they are still at 50% and q555 after about one week of feeding them on average q13+ food.

On a second note i got 2 ewes and 1 ram and after 2 days only one of the lambs is pregnant. There might be something off with that aswell.

Our intention has been to set the values to what they were in Legacy.

Will investigate.

Maybe the problem might be in the troughs. They can contain a lot more food now. I think i saw a number of 3000 units. In legacy it b felt like something between 100 and 250. My whole field of beetroot filled only like 1-2% of the trough. If an animal eats a certain percentage of the trough then there might be the issue since its now eating 10% of 3000 instead of 250.

Even normal animals are eating triple what they were in legacy. I'd guesstimate 15 units of fodder for a bull. In legacy it would have been 5 per day.

It would be a shame if those animals i just tamed now die. It looks this might be the case unless this gets fixed fast. My crops just dont replenish quickly enough.

One of my villagers has 2 pregnant cows right now and he wakes up every morning to the cows starving again. It definitely seems like they're eating far more than they used to.

Is there any hope of a quick patch for this? Our animals are also going to starve quite soon, after putting in well over 1k units of food :(

Since my last post (2 hours) my animals have already eaten through all the 160 units of food i managed to scratch together from harvesting a days worth of plant growth. Also they are still q5,5,5 and 50% overall
