v0.31 Talk:Status

I can't seem to slaughter animals I buy from traders. In fact, it seems animals I get from merchants don't appear on the Animal section of the status screen. I can't seem to find details on this phenomenon anywhere (I'll keep looking); if this is in the wrong place, I'll delete this. --Zander j 19:50, 25 September 2011 (UTC)

Seems like approximately the right place to ask. A case could be made for also putting it on the Trade, Pasture or even Cage talk pages! Anyway, try assigning the newly purchased tame animals to a pasture (set one up by defining an area, make it a pasture/pen, then ASSIGN the animal from the Cage (it will have !! in parenthesis next to the animal). That may help. Kalon 22:52, 25 September 2011 (UTC)
If you got them from the Elves, then they are probably exotic creatures, which don't show up Z-Animals unless you have a Dungeon Master (which you can't, since it's bugged). The usual solution is to edit your region's raws and change all instances of [PET_EXOTIC] to [PET] once you have a Baron, since that's when you're supposed to be able to appoint a DM. --Quietust 03:08, 26 September 2011 (UTC)
Ah, yes, they're exotic. Didn't know they wouldn't show up on the screen without the elusive DM. Thanks--Zander j 02:18, 22 October 2011 (UTC)
