Using GrowIntoSpec with sizes

Currently, if you try to, say, give an egg a size, or give a fish GrowIntoSpec, they cannot grow. Would it be possible to have compatibility between these two stats? It would allow us to add juvenile stages to fish that would realistically look different as adults, such as the emperor angel, or the chinese high-finned shark, by giving them a growintospec that swaps them to a different model.

Heya Flishster, I believe "growsIntoSpec" works just fine to make an animal grow into a completely different animal, not just eggs.

I just created a quick test mod to demonstrate:

Here's the Data/animals.data: https://pastebin.com/Teek0gdK
Here's the Strings/en/animals.json: https://pastebin.com/jg0HEje4

It makes the original Azure Demoiselle grow into a "Giant Azure Demoiselle" after 1 day. Take a look and see if you can get something similar working at your end. FYI: this mechanic doesn't require the DLC which is nice. :)
