icfear Posted August 27, 2014 Share Posted August 27, 2014 Hey everyone,I have searched a few forums and wiki but i haven't find out the volt goat's spawn day. I want volt goats near my base, so i wanna use a telelocator staff on one of the volt goats to teleport it to my telelocator focus. Then they will repopulate and i will have volt goats outside the desert biome (yes i love meat that much ) How long will it take a volt goat to spawn?

the truthseeker Posted August 27, 2014 Share Posted August 27, 2014 Oooh, a good question! Another excuse to make a new game with a base nearby and see! I'll likely make a new post with the answer when I find out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cyde042 Posted August 27, 2014 Share Posted August 27, 2014 I thought goats can't reproduce since there are no "babies" in the files. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheStupidpancake Posted August 27, 2014 Share Posted August 27, 2014 I believe new goats just spawn overtime. I'm not 100% percent sure though since every godamn world I start they go extinct due to hound mounds But could you imagine how adorable baby volt goats would be!! I call upon ye modders, please make this a thing! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spencer320 Posted August 27, 2014 Share Posted August 27, 2014 I thought the devs said they will only spawn when far enough off screen? Might be wrong. Interested to see what the answer will be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monkey_BBZ Posted August 27, 2014 Share Posted August 27, 2014 Volt Goat respawn times are random, but constant. If the herd is not full, it will create a new Volt Goat in a half to three halves of a day, then reset the respawn timer. Note that Volt Goats cannot respawn onscreen.Source: Game Files.From scripts/prefabs/lightninggoatherd.lua inst:AddComponent("periodicspawner") inst.components.periodicspawner:SetRandomTimes(TUNING.LIGHTNING_GOAT_MATING_SEASON_BABYDELAY, TUNING.LIGHTNING_GOAT_MATING_SEASON_BABYDELAY_VARIANCE) inst.components.periodicspawner:SetPrefab("lightninggoat") inst.components.periodicspawner:SetOnSpawnFn(OnSpawned) inst.components.periodicspawner:SetSpawnTestFn(CanSpawn) inst.components.periodicspawner:SetDensityInRange(20, 6) inst.components.periodicspawner:SetOnlySpawnOffscreen(true) inst.components.periodicspawner:Start()From scripts/tuning.lua LIGHTNING_GOAT_MATING_SEASON_BABYDELAY = total_day_time*1.5, LIGHTNING_GOAT_MATING_SEASON_BABYDELAY_VARIANCE = 0.5*total_day_time, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
icfear Posted August 27, 2014 Author Share Posted August 27, 2014 Thank you,But like beefaloes , when some of them are isolated, will it be a new herd? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monkey_BBZ Posted August 27, 2014 Share Posted August 27, 2014 Yes. It checks if it is part of a herd and then creates a new herd if they are not in one. I think.From scripts/prefabs/lightninggoat: if inst.components.herdmember and inst.components.herdmember:GetHerd() then local herd = inst.components.herdmember and inst.components.herdmember:GetHerd() if herd then return distsq(Vector3(herd.Transform:GetWorldPosition() ), Vector3(inst.Transform:GetWorldPosition() ) ) < TUNING.LIGHTNING_GOAT_CHASE_DIST*TUNING.LIGHTNING_GOAT_CHASE_DIST end end return trueThis is about Volt Goats sticking together as a herd. inst:AddComponent("knownlocations") inst:AddComponent("herdmember") inst.components.herdmember:SetHerdPrefab("lightninggoatherd")This is about Volt Goats having components of "herdmember" and being part of the prefab "lightninggoatherd".

Auth Posted August 27, 2014 Share Posted August 27, 2014 I call upon ye modders, please make this a thing! It is a mod. It's called "Mama Goats" or something like that, they make little babies, then when they grow up or die they poop out another one while off-screen. Note that the babies poop like crazy.

the truthseeker Posted August 28, 2014 Share Posted August 28, 2014 Glad this was answered. I died twice freakily all while looking for the dang desert. Maxwell didn't want me to find out personally it seems. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
