To use this feature, you must create pen/pasture zones above nestboxes. If the
|
|
|
|
|
pen is bigger than 1x1, the nestbox must be in the top left corner. Only 1 unit
|
|
|
|
|
will be assigned per pen, regardless of the size. Egg layers who are also
|
|
|
|
|
grazers will be ignored, since confining them to a 1x1 pasture is not a good
|
|
|
|
|
idea. Only tame and domesticated own units are processed since pasturing
|
|
|
|
|
half-trained wild egg layers could destroy your neat nestbox zones when they
|
|
|
|
|
revert to wild.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Note that the age of the units is not checked, so you might get some egg-laying
|
|
|
|
|
kids assigned to the nestbox zones. Most birds grow up quite fast, though, so
|
|
|
|
|
they should be adults and laying eggs soon enough.

|
|
|
|
|
zones.

|
|
Print current status.
|
|
|
|
|
``autonestbox now``
|
|
|

``autonestbox ticks <ticks>``
|
