Tortoise egg progress stuck at 50%

Dartonian · August 22, 2015, 10:23:54 PM

I don't know if it's just me, but the tortoises I'm trying to tame are stuck at 50% egg progress. I haven't tamed them yet, not sure if that matters

They won't lay unless they're fertilized, and they won't mate unless they're tamed.

How do you get unfertilized eggs then? I noticed the stockpiles have a fertilized and unfertilized egg item. Can only chickens produce them? Thanks!

Ah, that's a bug. There's no such thing as a real unfertilized tortoise or lizard or snake egg in the game.

No bugs here.

Unless you count the check marks being farther left than they could be, making "Chicken egg (unfert.)" slightly too long to fit.

Oh! Looks like I already handled this then

That is NOT in version 906.

Maybe it is handled, but not available to the rest of us... as that is not in 906, released on 8/21.

added screenshot of what is available in my current game.

Yes it is. Open the 'eggs' categories and you'll see exactly what Cim posted.

Dang those little arrows strike again.... did not see the expand option arrows.

In real life you cannot get unfertilized reptile eggs. The only way for a tortoise to lay eggs if for her to have mated with a male, and will lay after 60-90 days (species dependant.) This is real life, btw. The female digs a flask-shaped nest, in which she deposits her eggs. She covers it and packs it down, to disguise it from predators. She can urinate and excrete in the nest, which the eggs absorb. This gives them the bacteria needed to survive in their habitats.

i'd like to "necro" this thread because i am a bit confused. maybe there is even a bug?

i have had both male and female cobras in my colony for over 4 years straight (got them in 5501, until 5505) and the egg progress was stuck at 50% right since the start. i tried having both cobras together or let them roam at will. no difference.

whileas chickens work very well, anything else seems to be stuck at 50% no matter what.

i tried cobras in different biomes (my first attempt was in boreal forest, now in a jungle) and they just don't advance.

both tests the cobras were bought from a trader. i haven't tried taming the native cobras in the jungle biome yet, as they are very agressive and can kill my colonists when 3-4 cobras get angry suddenly. so i am still careful with that.

so, is there a possible bug or maybe you could elaborate on what conditions we have to meet in order to have our cobras and reptilian pets breed?

Generally they require food and then they should naturally. And the bug was about there being unfert'd lizard eggs, and there wasn't.

the bug was about all "reptilian" which includes cobras, lizards, tortoises (title of this post), etc.

i still don't know if there is a bug or not... my cobras are well fed, well maintained, in their natural habitat (jungle biome) and after 4 years the egg is still stuck at 50% and yes, i do have a male and female.

so, what (and how) does it take EXACTLY to have cobras and other reptiles to breed?

you get a 5% chance per day per pairing couple to breed. So with just one male and one female you get a 1 in 20 chance per day. That does not mean it will happen once every 20 days. It may never happen, as the 5% chance is a daily event.

Do your snakes have sleeping quarters where they are together every day? Breeding depends on close proximity to each other, not just wandering around the biome.
