``zone tocages count 50 own tame male not grazer``
Stuff up to 50 owned tame male animals who are not grazers into cages built
on the current default zone.
autobutcher
===========
Assigns lifestock for slaughter once it reaches a specific count. Requires that
you add the target race(s) to a watch list. Only tame units will be processed.
Units will be ignored if they are:
* Nicknamed (for custom protection; you can use the `rename` ``unit`` tool
individually, or `zone` ``nick`` for groups)
* Caged, if and only if the cage is defined as a room (to protect zoos)
* Trained for war or hunting
Creatures who will not reproduce (because they're not interested in the
opposite sex or have been gelded) will be butchered before those who will.
Older adults and younger children will be butchered first if the population
is above the target (default 1 male, 5 female kids and adults). Note that
you may need to set a target above 1 to have a reliable breeding population
due to asexuality etc. See `fix-ster` if this is a problem.
Options:
:example: Print some usage examples.
:start: Start running every X frames (df simulation ticks).
Default: X=6000, which would be every 60 seconds at 100fps.
:stop: Stop running automatically.
:sleep <x>: Changes the timer to sleep X frames between runs.
:watch R: Start watching a race. R can be a valid race RAW id (ALPACA,
BIRD_TURKEY, etc) or a list of ids seperated by spaces or
the keyword 'all' which affects all races on your current
watchlist.
:unwatch R: Stop watching race(s). The current target settings will be
remembered. R can be a list of ids or the keyword 'all'.
:forget R: Stop watching race(s) and forget it's/their target settings.
R can be a list of ids or the keyword 'all'.
:autowatch: Automatically adds all new races (animals you buy from merchants,
tame yourself or get from migrants) to the watch list using
default target count.
:noautowatch: Stop auto-adding new races to the watchlist.
:list: Print the current status and watchlist.
:list_export: Print the commands needed to set up status and watchlist,
which can be used to import them to another save (see notes).
:target <fk> <mk> <fa> <ma> <R>:
Set target count for specified race(s). The first four arguments
are the number of female and male kids, and female and male adults.
R can be a list of spceies ids, or the keyword ``all`` or ``new``.
``R = 'all'``: change target count for all races on watchlist
and set the new default for the future. ``R = 'new'``: don't touch
current settings on the watchlist, only set the new default
for future entries.
:list_export: Print the commands required to rebuild your current settings.
.. note::
Settings and watchlist are stored in the savegame, so that you can have
different settings for each save. If you want to copy your watchlist to
another savegame you must export the commands required to recreate your settings.
To export, open an external terminal in the DF directory, and run
``dfhack-run autobutcher list_export > filename.txt``. To import, load your
new save and run ``script filename.txt`` in the DFHack terminal.
Examples:
You want to keep max 7 kids (4 female, 3 male) and max 3 adults (2 female,
1 male) of the race alpaca. Once the kids grow up the oldest adults will get
slaughtered. Excess kids will get slaughtered starting with the youngest
to allow that the older ones grow into adults. Any unnamed cats will
be slaughtered as soon as possible. ::
autobutcher target 4 3 2 1 ALPACA BIRD_TURKEY
autobutcher target 0 0 0 0 CAT
autobutcher watch ALPACA BIRD_TURKEY CAT
autobutcher start
Automatically put all new races onto the watchlist and mark unnamed tame units
for slaughter as soon as they arrive in your fort. Settings already made
for specific races will be left untouched. ::
autobutcher target 0 0 0 0 new
autobutcher autowatch
autobutcher start
Stop watching the races alpaca and cat, but remember the target count
settings so that you can use 'unwatch' without the need to enter the
values again. Note: 'autobutcher unwatch all' works, but only makes sense
if you want to keep the plugin running with the 'autowatch' feature or manually
add some new races with 'watch'. If you simply want to stop it completely use
'autobutcher stop' instead. ::
autobutcher unwatch ALPACA CAT
autonestbox
===========
Assigns unpastured female egg-layers to nestbox zones. Requires that you 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. The age of the units is currently not checked, most birds grow up
quite fast. Egglayers 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 egglayers could destroy your neat
nestbox zones when they revert to wild. When called without options autonestbox
will instantly run once.
Options:
:start: Start running every X frames (df simulation ticks).
Default: X=6000, which would be every 60 seconds at 100fps.
:stop: Stop running automatically.
:sleep: Must be followed by number X. Changes the timer to sleep X
frames between runs.
