Large Gray boars giving birth to normal sized gray boars?

[Tam Hawkins]

Hello everyone.

I was recently going to great lengths to obtain a large gray boar and a large gray sow and herding them back to my base.

After giving birth to a new litter they grew up into normal gray boars and sows. Is that intended?

I wa sunder the impression that these were supposed to be different species.

I am on rc6 btw.

Thanks to everyone reading this and especially if you know the answer.

It seems to be intentional. Currently, huge boars can only be found in the wild.

The huge gray boar is just an elder eurasian wild pig (gray boar). The new species are the red river hog and the warthog, both of which prefer warm climates.

Thank you.

That is a bit disapointing but its fine, I will do with normal grays then.

Maybe I go for river hog later.

It would be a fun easter egg if regular boars would mature into huge boars after several in game years.

Heck, that could easily be in there already, it would take a while to figure it out. Has anyone checked?

I doubt they will, but I will leave one of my current grays alive to see if it changes and how long it takes (For the record: They grew up in the first year in the begining of may)

Looking through the game code would be quicker.

It would be. 

In the baby pig fiel you can easily find a codesegment for growth that turns the baby into am "pig-{type}-adult-{gender}". pig stands simply for pig, type for the variant (eurasion = gray, redriver for river and warthog for well....) , adult stands for a grown up pig while babys are called "baby" and here is the interesting part, the larges are in this section as well as "elder" and then gender is for female or male.

So the baby per the code can only grow int gray pig, river pig and warthog. Large gray is simply an age variant of the normal gray. Sadly adult pigs do not seem to have code to make them grow over time, so they very likely will not grow anymore.

 

I still keep my current grays around, there is no harm in that and maybe I have overlooked something.
