Of course, it could take more seed than if you give it to the bird, because you gain comfort so it have higher cost.

I'd love if you could make a fenced door and a special type of fence for enclosing animals in an area. You could have as you said to build some sort of structure to feed them and they would slowly but naturally breed. I'd love to have my own rabbit farm ! It would be awsome if you could do the same with the birdcage.

rezecib Posted March 18, 2014 Share Posted March 18, 2014 Yeah, this would be very nice. What I've been doing so far is taking my bird with me on trips, but then you lose two slots... (one for the bird, one for the seeds). Link to comment https://forums.kleientertainment.com/forums/topic/33069-birdcage-seed-stock/#findComment-433765 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boar Head Posted March 18, 2014 Share Posted March 18, 2014 Great suggestion. I hope this gets implemented. If they don't implement anything like a rabbit farm or something like that then maybe they could just let you leave some carrots in the container that you've placed the rabbits in and when a rabbit is in the starving state you will lose a single carrot and that rabbit becomes refilled to full again.

MidrealmDM Posted March 26, 2014 Share Posted March 26, 2014 If I understand correctly we are wanting the birdcage to have some sort of refillable 'feeder' so that the bird doesn't expire so quickly when one is away from camp. If that is the case, I agree. Maybe even have a little meter or indicator on the side of the cage showing the amount of food left available to the bird. Or, and this seems easier, just make it so that a bird in a birdcage starves much more slowly than if it was kept in a chest or in inventory.

MidrealmDM Posted March 27, 2014 Share Posted March 27, 2014 Another idea that might make the birdcage more desireable is to have birds in cages molt feathers (particularly in summer) periodically dropping a feather. This would allow a player to gether feathers without having to constantly hunt birds and would make it more desirable to keep a bird in a cage.

A bird give you an egg in exchange of a cooked monster meat: this is useful enough for a birdcage.

So a feather-harvesting mechanic would make sense for the birdcage.

This would allow a player to gether feathers without having to constantly hunt birds and would make it more desirable to keep a bird in a cage.I like that idea actually. I never used birdcages in vanilla DS anyway. Had plenty of other food. Naturally I'm even less inclined to them now. But if they molted feathers I might actually use them, because bird farming is pretty tedious. I think it would also be ok to make the bird not even need upkeep in the cage, but also make it so they'll only lay 1 or 2 eggs per day. But I think a seed tube on the side of the cage, with a meter like the flingomatic (except seeds instead of a red line) is also a great solution.
