Best mod ever, I would say

Hey all - surprised to see this getting attention after so long. I never made any progress learning modding beyond this basic experiment so I probably won't be developing this any further. The update that FrostyFrency made is an objectively better version of this mod at this point -Frosy/others feel free to remix/repost this mid as much as y'all want.

Honestly now I kind of want to give all the colored chocobos different effects...
Red: Magma safe
Blue: Walk on water
Etc...
lol

Frosty thank you!

Did it myself.

Messed around with this a lot, biggest change besides the feather colors is only males are war-trainable. Egg layers who are war trained act weird without a pasture, just easier this way.

Would kill for accurate graphics update

Sixabos are best chocos

odd i nnever get asked to update when i load in after you update

@Synchin: I can't think of anything that would cause that behavior aside from -maybe- the [MEANDERER] tag, and that was removed in the first update since it doesn't play nice with war trainable animals. Are you running the most recent version of the mod? Are any other creatures showing the same behavior?

I did notice that even after I pasture them in a room. They sometimes leave it and go to the closest meeting hall, and just hang there till someone can re-pasture them.

@HCM EVMuffin: As mentioned in the description, they can be domesticated by civilizations during worldgen, which (I believe) is more likely the more settlements a given civilization has that happen to overlap with chocobo habitats (i.e. temperate planes and savannas). Beyond that, which civilizations have access to them are random - you can try embarking from other parent civilizations to see if anyone else in your world has domesticated them. You can also add [COMMON_DOMESTIC] tag to their entity file to guarantee they spawn along with the other common livestock.

So where are you allowed to take them, Every place I go to tells me they cant be taken as animals

@Synchin they are not grazers

p shure thay are like pigs and can eat vermin

do they need to graze?

aww ok ty

@Lizy_Sticks: Highlighting should be fixed in the most recent update. Re. War Chocobo sprites - I'm not a sprite artist (the sprites used here were ripped from Final Fantasy VI), so that's not something I'm able to add without it looking terrible. If someone is willing to contribute the sprites, I'll add them.

can war chcobos have the armored chcoc sprite plz :D

Kweh!

can we fix there names being highlited in yellow :(

ya thay may not have bin fertilized the wikie says thay still sit on dead eggs i havent gone back to try a new clutch

@Lizy_Sticks: So the egg laying/hatching parameters are identical to ostriches aside from the brood size (Max number of eggs was reduced to 5) - everything should work any other egg-laying species. Are you playing with other mods? Have you been able to get other eggs to hatch?

there not hatching the eggs =/ what am i doing wrong ?

I like that you decided not to just make them automatically domesticated. Having guaranteed access to stuff is nice and all, but I like the randomness of if a civ decides to domesticate them or not during worldgen.

They're tagged with [pet] but not [common domesticated], so any civilization that encounters them during worldgen can potentially domesticate them. Habitat is temperate grasslands and savannahs, so civs with a lot of settlements in those regions have a higher chance of using them.

Which civilizations has access to these?
Can we see human caravans utilizing them?

[Wark intensifies]

I'm pretty sure grazers can't lay eggs/use nest boxes. I can't remember where I read that though.

Kweh! :>

They are not tagged as grazers, though admittedly I had trouble deciding whether to categorize them as such or not.

do the need a outside pasture or do they not need to eat?

They lay clutches of 3-5 eggs, and cannot be milked. They also can be farmed for gizzard stones like Ostriches.

Do they give eggs? Or they, like horses can be milked?))

cute
