:summary: Auto-assign egg-laying female pets to nestbox zones.

|
|
To use this feature, you must create pen/pasture zones on the same tiles as
|
|
built 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.

Usage
|
|
-----
|
|
|
|
``enable autonestbox``
|
|
Start checking for unpastured egg-layers and assigning them to nestbox
|
|
zones.
|
|
``autonestbox``
|
|
Print current status.
|
|
``autonestbox now``
|
|
Run a scan and assignment cycle right now. Does not require that the plugin
|
|
is enabled.
|
|
``autonestbox ticks <ticks>``
|
|
Change the number of ticks between scan and assignment cycles when the
|
|
plugin is enabled. The default is 6000 (about 8 days).
