Breeding.

[Mechanoid Hivemind]

How can i tell if a muffalos pregnant? i got a message saying that but i cant find that one. also does that little notification saying a muffalo is pregnant par tain to my animals or ones out in the wild?

Afaik only your animals can get pregnant, wildlife cant breed, and pregnancy is handled like a sickness, you should see it in the health tab.

i am not i had 2 muffalos self tame male and female, then in a few days i got that message and couldnt tell.

Although, saying that, if you tame a muffalo from a herd, I have had one of mine breed with it's old herdmates.

[Goldenglade]

I had a similar instance happen.... one also... became self tamed..... however that happens

my pigs just wont get pregnant.

1 male pig 2 sow's (which i checked are female pigs)

its 60 days into the game and no pregnancies.  My chickens are doing their thing, very well indeed but that is via eggs.  is there a problem with non egg breeding?

Chicken breeding is virtually guaranteed unless you intentionally separate your hens and roosters, so they're not a great metric. From what I can tell, breeding has a chance of occurring when a male and female enter close proximity to each other, so you should be able to increase the chance of impregnation by keeping the animals restricted to a smaller area, and/or making sure they have beds near each other. Even doing so, sometimes you just get unlucky with RNG. 6 months is not inconceivably long for the number of pigs you have.

There are also life stages, which affect breeding. Too young, no breeding, too old no breeding.

i can confirm 99% that many animals do NOT breed if their sleeping place is dark.

i had (adult) pigs without breeding for 2 gameyears. i added a lamp to their sleeping area and BOOM, pigs all over the place

They need mood lighting? Any specific colour lamp they prefer? Joking aside, my animals do it essentially anywhere, and my "barn" is always dark. Then again, they only go there to sleep.

Egg layers are totally different to breeding. Its a whole different mechanic. Each male has a 5% chance a day to mate for non egg laying animals.

Also bear in mind that pregnancy is hidden until the midway point.

Pregnancies become visible at the start of the second trimester.
Less advanced pregnancies can be viewed in the dev mode.
