Animation - Nursing

[rebeq]

Hi people! An animation that I have been feeling like i am missing in the game is baby animals nursing. I mean this is something the majority of mammals do and it would be so cute to watch. Have you ever seen a lamb nurse? Their little tails wagging so fast, must be more hoofed babies that do this? Would have been so sweet to see in the game.

Cheers!

Yeah its been one of those things that I miss about animals. That and also that each species have just like one animation to interact with the second animal (not counting the mating animation).

There's quite a significant animations amiss tbh. Chante also mentioned about the eggs missing in oviparous animals too...

That was because adding egg-laying is basically a waste of dev time, which is pretty much what Chante said about it.

In some countries nursing would probably raise the age requirement / recommendation for the game, as ridiculous as it might sound.
Personally nursing is one of many interactions I miss.
Problem is: creating animation is expensive and currently it feels like PZ is supported with as little resources as possible. I too wish that would change.

What makes you think that?

Bug fixing is rather slow, 3+ month for a dlc of that size would be long if there were a lot of people working on it and there are rumors of only two programmers working on the game. Whether the last thing is true or not I don't know. But there are many players advocating for bigger packs and we are yet unheard, so it's quite possible that there are only a few people working on the game.
I have no doubt they are working hard though.

Absolutely needed. Would be so nice to see. We need a stronger Bond between Mothers and their Offspring. Would also be nice to see Apes and Anteaters carry their Baby on their Back if it should be possible to add it to the Game.
Also Feeding Animation for the Flamingo. I think the only Birds so far that feed their Offspring are the Penguins (pretty sure the other Birds in the Game don't feed their Chicks). Also of course fixing the Problem that the Feeding of the Penguin Chicks (King Penguin) doesn't happen if it wasn't fixed already

The majority? Is there a Mammal that doesn't do it?

I was curious as well, so I looked it up: monotremes.


I would love to see young carried, like primates on their mother's backs. It'd add a bunch of personality to the game, and a lotta depth

Doesn't it still count for them? Their Offspring gets Milk (at least in Case of the Platypus) but due to them being such primitive Mammals, their Milk doesn't come out of Nipples (hope this Word is ok to use in the Forum. If not, let me know) but they just sweat it out instead

Monotremes still nurse their young, but as Urufu says they simply don't have teats.

Those animations would be really cute.
I thought whales didn't nurse, but googled it now and apperently they do. You learn something new everyday!
