Bug Report for fluffy's Colony Manager Mod

[Seriously Unserious]

I'm getting a problem with the behaviour of the animals management and slaughter livestock manager in particular.

I have tamed frogs and set them up in 2 separate animal areas, Pasture 2 and Barn+Pasture. I have 8 femalre frogs in Pasture 2 who are meant to be for laying unfertalized eggs and are NOT to be slaughtered. I set the maximum number of adult frogs to be 8 female and 3 male. I then set the manage frogs task to slaughter excess livestock, and only slaughter any from zone "Barn+Pasture". I checked the restrict slaughtering to zone "Barn+Pasture". I did NOT set the task to automatically assign frogs to any zone, yet every time anyone finishes a manage task, all my frogs in "Pasture 2" are reassigned to "Barn+Pasture and scheduled to be slaughtered.

My understanding, based on the wording and common sense is that these settings should mean only any excess frogs in "Barn+Pasture will be slaughtered and none will be transferred to another zone based on these settings.

I've attached a screenshot with my settings for managing my colony's frogs. I'd attach my save file but it's too big to upload here. I'll share it via a dropbox link shortly.

The slaughtering zone setting does not do what you think it does, it actually sets the zone before slaughtering. It does not restrict slaughtering to only animals in that zone. If the frogs you had set aside are adults, that's a different problem - but I assume they are juveniles, and you have set the juvenile limits to 0?

Nope, they're adults. I set the limit for juveniles to 99 so animals would only get auto-flagged when adults.

Based on the info provided in game, that behaviour's very unintuitive. The descriptions led me to believe it would only allow animals in the designated zone to be slaughtered. That needs to be more clear what it does if it works like you just described here.

It would be helpful to have a way of excluding certain animals from automated slaughtering, such as chickens, frogs, etc that are being kept as egg-layers or breeding stock and not to be slaughtered unless ordered manually.

Since they're adults, what would the problem be then?
