Outdated EggstraClucks 1.1.0

my 4 cows.... all in one spot



ok, here's a request. make the bulls look different than the cows I can't tell them apart lol

 

Yup, agreed here. I plan to tone down the jump on cows, but I was reading about the upcoming combat changes, and just sort of put it off till I see how the other creatures are made heavier and jump less. But I will do that. And my cows move right too... Actually, when they are on my ship they work fine, but on a world they always run toward the wall and plant their faces on it. It has something to do with the AI for vanilla creatures, I will sift through it and try to get rid of it. I had a bunch of tamed creatures all run away from my farm, I thought they had died, but I later found them all grouped up in an underground cave filled with water and a fish. Maybe that's a hint.

As far as bulls looking different than cows! I tried really hard to give the bulls horns, but the end result was not working with the system that I had already made. What I had done, the horns would vanish when offscreen, and then once you checked a cows gender, they would appear. It looked a little silly, so I left it out. I think it's something wrong with animations in general, so I'm putting that one off for a bit.

 

sounds good!

oh, what about just making the bulls black or brown? or a mean face or something lol

 

Could you make the starting quests work with more races by chance? the Avali is good to go already but a few others dont seem to nab them. I would attempt this my self, but I've no clue how to unpack the files x.x

 

if you know how to make a merge file
merge eggstra.gearup into the starting quests.
if you don't... post what races and if tynaut doesn't do so, i'll make a patch. i'll be doing so for several races anyway, what's a few more.

 

I'm getting some surface minibiome errors. Chunks of land are disappearing.

 

EggstraClucks doesn't make any mods to the biomes. Are you sure it's this mod causing the issue? maybe post your error

 

Yep, it's conflicting with another mod somewhere. Which is causing missing squares of land. It's conflicting with something on the surface. Could be spawned animals or plants.

 

Do you mind posting a log or list of mods you use?
I try to be very careful about the way I do things, so as to avoid any conflicts, but it's impossible to avoid them completely due to some file requirements and how other sometimes setup their mods. It's unlikely that it's something biome or plant related, as I haven't touched any of that. If you're having chunk loading problems, reaching areas that just aren't loading in game, then there is most likely an error that is being called in excess that's slowing down the system and causing the load problems. If there's a log error, it makes it infinitely easier to track down and fix the problem.

 

I'm using pretty much all of them that are staying up to date so i guess I'll wait for your thing~ as for merge files rather clueless~

 

concerning suggestions it would be cool if maybe there's were two types of male cows. Bulls and Steer. Bulls could basically, well... that is to say, do what bulls do and then steer, I could raise for them for slaughter, turn them into beef for making burgers LOL maybe even have a mature timer on them for producing more meat

 

I'd love to, but I have no idea what's in the pak file to be able to tell which of the errors is from this mod vs another. All I know is that when I remove this one, the issue goes away. I suspect it's conflicting with Better Merchants, since at least at one time it had chicken spawners, but that's just a guess.

 

I'd be happy to do the investigating myself, I can probably figure out the cause by reading through an error log. If you can send me a message with a copy of the starbound.log after playing and having this issue, and telling me some of the mods you are running.

 

Hey , I really like this mod but how do you get an egg ?

 

from the original post

Unique Crafting table (created from wooden crafting table)
[IMG] Egg Incubator, to hatch eggs
[IMG] Chicken Nest, for Chickens to lay eggs
[IMG] Feed Bin, for livestock to eat from
[IMG] Hand Mill, used for making animal feed
[IMG] Chicken Cage, place it on the ground to cage the next chicken that walks by
[IMG] Straw, added to wheat drop pool
[IMG] Taming crate for converting captured monsters to livestock
>>> [IMG] Starter Quests** to get your first egg*** and chicken farm set up <<<
[IMG] Beginners Codex for more instructions
[IMG] New "monster": baby chick
[IMG] A dozen or so new egg cooking recipes

**If you don't want to start a new character, but want to trigger the questline, you can move the /Starbound/universe/playerQuests.db to a new location. This resets ALL quests so be sure to save a backup if you don't want to break things! Warning, do this at your own risk. However, you could move the file back once you've gotten the starter egg.
***Your first egg will hatch significantly faster than regular eggs.

 

Maybe an egg could be added somewhere to buy, for non-new players, just make it worth some pixels - like 1000? so we wouldn't normally just buy them off. Also would help if someone deletes his first egg

 

Yes, I've been reluctant to have an egg "craftable" at the table, because that just feels out of place to me. I wanted there to be some restriction to getting eggs, and a way to prevent people from starting with too many. Unfortunately, the quest system is not the best at the moment, as you can't start a quest chain without a new character. So I've just been trying to figure out a way to have limited access to purchasing eggs, without directly giving them to you at the crafting table. Anyway, long story short, I now have a place to put the purchase of eggs in, that will be somewhat limited access, and has a high cost, this way if people want to skip the quest line, or don't start new characters, they can still have access to all the same items.

Alternatively, the other method is to planet hop until you find a chicken, capture it, take it back to your planet, and feed it till it lays an egg. But I'd say those odds are nearly impossible, though I did see in files that there is some dungeon that spawns chickens in it. That's why the egg came first.

 

So tynaut, when are you gonna add horses ?

 

lol. There was a request for sheep, now horses? So people don't have an interest in raising alien creatures? Are they just not cute enough? Or does everyone just want nostalgic earth creatures they'd expect on a farm?

 

Well... we start with basic earth knowledge. Also the cattle differs visually from regular mobs if you make them custom looking.... but then again... i wonder how acid-blooded aliens would react to "milking" for example

Also i know someone is making some rly cool mod to add something that will complement farming in a way.... lets just say those things live in the water.... maybe i said too much already
