More filters for animals' pen

Description
Previous mod name: Animals' age filter

You can decide which animal goes to a pen based not only on gender (male/female) but also on:
  • animals' age (baby/juvenile/adult);
  • pregnancy/fertilization status;
  • sterilization status;
  • age greater than life expectancy of animals' race;
  • if a pack animal is carrying items
  • if an animal is designated to be slaughtered (manual designation or automatic slaughtering)
  • if an animal needs tending now or periodically (infection, asthma, plague, etc)
  • malnutrition status
  • with resources ready to be harvested
  • with all injuries tended
  • with permanent injuries
  • with name
for example you could keep milkable animals (adult ones) in a separate pen, closer to your colony or, since babies eat less, you can keep them in a smaller pen

Important notes
  • safe to add to an ongoing game
  • to remove from an ongoing game it's best to allow all pen filters, save the game, and only then remove the mod
  • if can apply a name to a pen (marker) using my Rename pen mod

Complex filter logic (vanilla feature)
You can combine several filters putting multiple pen marker in the same pen:
  • what is really important (and what is indeed saved in savegame) is what you do not allow;
  • a single marker applies AND logic on all its terms;
  • if you have multiple markers in the same pen the OR logic is applied between them

For example if you want to keep sterilized males + all females in the same pen you just put:
  • pen marker 1 -> no females, no unsterilized (so basically only sterilized males);
  • pen marker 2 -> no males (so basically only females)

if both are in the same pen the applied logic is:
(not female AND not unsterilized) OR (not male)

    @Angry Canadian i think what you want is under Animals -> Manage Auto Slaughter? thats the nearest i can see and its a Vanilla feature

    @Bumschlagalaga: I think that would be possible, but it's outside the scope of this mod.
    please note also that the game try its best to keep pens balanced based on numbers of pens and amount of food that can be grown in them.

    As you talked about animal amounts per pen. Would it be possible to add this to the game or is that to much work/impossible? I just would like to know since i am looking for that feature for a long time now.

    @Angry Canadian: I'm afraid this is outside the scope of this mod.

    is there any way to the ability to specify the amount of animals in a pen, so he could set up a pen to have specified to have pen specified to have 20, adult, female, under life expectancy, not to be slaughtered, chickens and it would be awesome if you could have a priority like stockpiles for the pens.

    This is exactly what I've been looking for; thank you for making this mod!
