Outdated EggstraClucks 1.1.0

So how do I get straw again?

 

by harvesting wheat you should have 5 seeds in your ship locker at the start of the game. if you lost them only way to
get them is through chest, mods,cheats or restart. when you harvest the wheat it will drop some wheat of corse lol some
plantfiber, seeds and some straw no idea what other ways still newish to the mod

 

i cant get my chicks to grow iv had them for a day are so (real life time) and nothing yet is there a update that i may have missed?. i also looked at the food bin and the food is untouched. do i need to put the chicks anywhere are can they just rome around. sorry about the 15 questions just want to know hopeing its just me being stupid : D

 

The intent was that most people would have a farm on a planet that they would not always be present on. So if you stand around the animals for a long time, they will eat and eat and eat. I'm going to rework it so that they only eat when they are hungry. If you leave the planet, however, they will only eat when ready. They won't die if they are starved, but they won't produce anything, or mate if they are starved. Sorry about that, it's kind of one of those issues that just requires testing and feedback to work out. So I really appreciate the feedback.

You are correct about the scanner. And a cow must be female, and not pregnant to milk. I did this because I wanted to restrict milk production if you were doing lots of breeding. Cows to have to be fed to produce milk. So if they haven't eaten enough they won't produce.

No gender on chickens yet, so they all lay eggs, and no roosters. Thanks again for all the feedback, sorry I've been absent recently and didn't see your message.

New ideas are always welcome!!! But currently I didn't have any plans for other animals. But I'm definitely open to it.

Bummer, put the bin away from the animals? I'll look into fixing that issue.

Most likely the problem is that you're running another mod that modifies wheat, and that mod is causing a conflict with mine. Do you mind sending me a pm with a list of your mods and I'll tell you which one is the problem, and I can probably even send you a fix so you can use both.

I think the problem is that with chicks, they do take 2 days, but sometimes you need to stand next to them for about 5 mins for them to grow up after those two days. I need to fix this. But hopefully that will get things working for you until I fix it.

 

Straw drops from wheat. If you're not getting straw you have a mod conflict. If you don't mind sending me a pm with a list of some of the mods you are using, I can help you resolve the conflict so you can have straw.

See my above post for issues with chicks not growing up after two days. Hopefully that fixes it for you.

 

I'm copy-pasting this issue which I posted on the S3r1ous modpack's discussion thread, the author suggested I post it in EggstraClucks's discussion thread and Gardenbot's:

Okay, so I found a pretty humorous bug:

I haven't hatched any more chickens besides the ones from the 3 eggs I got, and they suddenly started dividing like weird chicken cells (not seriously).
Every time I teleported to my planet, more chickens would be there. It seems to happen if the chicken gets stuck in something and is rapidly running back in forth in an enclosed area, or just caught on the roof of my little barn.
Also, it doesn't ONLY happen to chickens. I had 3 Gardenbots, then one started running back and forth rapidly (it got stuck), then I had 4. I had 2 wood chopperbots, and they also cloned into five, but I don't know if they got stuck somewhere, I didn't see it happen.

Also, another issue, my chickens don't seem to lay eggs no matter how much I feed them.

 

Hey, thanks for the feedback. So there's been a problem with the game for a long time now, that sometimes NPCs will duplicate themselves from time to time. I've seen the issue brought up several times in the forums, not related to my mods (even before I started making mods). The duplication only happens with things that are persistent, which normally is only NPCs, as most monsters are randomly spawned as you walk through a planet. However, both of my mods use monsters that must remain in game when you log out, or go to other planets. So it's just kind of one of those things that sometimes springs up as an issue and sometimes doesn't. My best guess is that it happens when loading a sector that the chickens are in, and if loading is slow (due to having a lot of mods installed, or a slow computer) it is sometimes prone to spawning the chickens multiple times before it has verified that they spawned.

That's the most likely explanation, since I've seen it happen to people at times (and myself), however there's the off chance there could be another mod conflict, or a bug, which could cause the chickens to duplicate every 5 mins. If you happen to have a game session where you think the chickens are behaving oddly, and you don't mind sending me a PM of the starbound.log, I could read through it and track down if there is anything I can do to help you out.

 

Great mod, im enjoying making my shed and farm.
But i have 2 questions which im not sure of if anyone here can answer it:

1- The chickens dissapear after a while when i return home from a planet.
2- The captured and tamed animals are placed outside between fences, but when i use the treat to lure them in there and once they are inside, they keep moving to the left (towards the shed).
They dont jump or walk around, they just move to the left stacking up on eachother =/

Thanks.

 

a little help here? idk how to trigger the quest on my old character ;-;

 

I cannot get the chicken cage to work. I placed one on the ground in a Glitch village and hoped to catch one of the many chicken running around. They all walked by and nothing happened. Did I do anything wrong? And is the cage supposed to work on chicks, too? Because this did not work either...


EDIT: After more than three days of having chicks around they still have not developed into adults. They didn't touch any food either that I put in the bin, neither animal feed nor seeds.

Is this mod still supported, because I would really love to play with it?

 

Dunno if this mod is still being supported, but I'm also experiencing the perma-chick problem like Diodoron. Coming up on 2 weeks of baby chicks now.

 

Ok, so I found out a few things myself now.
First I tried to catch Robochicken in that Glitch village. No wonder the cage didn't work... It does work on adult chicken though. I caught some on another planet.
Second my chicks do turn into chicken eventually now. It takes 2-3 days real time. And I had to wait around close to them a few minutes until it happened.

Another issue is food though. I have no idea how much the chicken and tamed animals need. I read two animal feed would be enough. The pheromone scanner shows hungry all the time no matter how much food the tamed animals eat. Would love to know how much is really sufficient and for how long.

How do I find out, if my animals give milk or wool? Both tools don't work on them. Does this mean they can only be well...led to the Beef Barn?

And I got the strange multiplying bug. Both chicken and tamed monsters doubled several times.

This mod is such a great addition to the game. It would be wonderful, if it was still updated and further developed.

EDIT: Now I have the problem of chicken not laying eggs anymore. In the beginning I got two eggs. Now they stopped. I feed them very often, but still no luck. May this have to do with them duplicating before?

...still hoping tynaut will come back here to read this...

 

Hey, I'm really enjoying your mod and it's bringing life to my otherwise flora-filled farm. My only questions pertains to the quest line. I'm up to the part where old man Eck apparently got ill and started fantasizing in his diaries. The quest description tells me that if I come across any further books (past the 2nd tutorial book), to put that in the bin and wait for the collector to show up. Soooo... how do I go about doing this? Do I have to find the book in the universe? Or is it something I craft? Most importantly, what action triggers the quest being finished? I apologize if this has been asked before, but frankly I stopped trying to find it in the discussion board after 8 pages.

 

This is a nice mod, very good job! I'm not sure how the pheromones work along with the compact scanner. I don't see any particles going off my two tamed creatures, and I have the pheromone scanner turned on. Do I have to do some wiring or something? Also, I'm stuck on the quest called, "Spreading Misinformation." I can't find the third book in the farming crafting table. Perhaps this is a coding error or something? I'm not sure, but I would appreciate the help. ^_^

 

Stuck here, too, with the eggstraclucks+ mod. Try contacting the original modder, though I caution they haven't been very active on their own discussion thread.

 

I don't know how to contact the modder tbh. And I feel like the modder isn't that active much either. Perhaps life got him/her by the neck, I guess.

 

How do i milk stuff i used the milker but i dont get any milk from the cows?

 

Did try clicking on the cows when you're nearby them or press e when nearby them? (Ik it's one of these things, I can't remember what.)[DOUBLEPOST=1409595430][/DOUBLEPOST]Also, I've noticed that the Pheromone Scanner and Compact Scanner work fine around the cows (both male and female), and based on what I read while browsing this forum, there is no conflict with the SmartPets mod (which is one of the many mods I have installed.) I mean, whenever I try to use the Compact Scanner on a tamed creature (not a cow), It starts temporarily attacking me but does not damage me. Same does with the Tasty Treat (but hey, at least it follows me in a way). Could you perhaps try and look into this again?

 

Silly question but, what do baby chickens eat? I've tried animal feed and seeds in the feeding bin. I've also tried throwing it in front of them but they won't eat it. Do they even eat at all?
Thanks for reading.

 

I have a feeling they don't eat until they've become adult chickens. I haven't noticed any change in the feeding bin either, and I'm not 100% sure.
