Jinxie - WIP Mods

[Jinxiewinxie]

Currently optimizing my Bitty Rabbit Hutch =)

Just putting this idea here so I don't forget about it:

Jinxie - Certain Death Mod
- Add workplace with a super high rate of death
- Workplace will add Entertainment happiness when a worker is assigned lol
- Add a house that looks like a stockage or jail cell or something
- Whoever is assigned to the workplace (the person closest.. who lives in that jail cell or stockade) will die
- Include some other "punishment" deco pieces, I've seen models laying around =)

Very morbid but I've seen the request in different forms (somebody wishing for a way to execute a certain bannie for being annoying, etc. etc.) a few times

Almost done with a plain ol' fence and wall set:



They'll go nicely with the transparent cemeteries and pastures that are in Bitty Village (and other mods) and now I won't feel the need to include fences with every animal coop/hutch thingie I make =)

[Jinxiewinxie]

Fences were posted =)

Here's a WIP picture of a chicken coop, with my Rabbit Hutch in the background for comparison:



I was sort of working from this source image:

Loving the people props and the animal hutches / pens etc...

For your storybook house series maybe they will they have pet dragons / unicorns ?

Or are mythical beasts a step too far?

[Jinxiewinxie]

I love unicorns! Might be difficult to pull off in banished though XD I did a tester thing for Storybook and the white stucco walls turned out terribad =( I'm going to circle back to the idea after making some hutches/coops/pen things I think and see if I can make it prettier.

Hmmm, I'm not sure what to do about a fenced version of the chicken coop =/ Most coops online are just.. enclosed by little wire fences but that doesn't leave much room for any deco chickens so you can actually tell its a chicken coop XD Maybe a little sideways chicken "run" type deal?



(I just half hazardly placed deco pieces around the building, fences aren't actually part of the model yet)

[Jinxiewinxie]

The sideways fenced area is growing on me, I think I'll run with it:

The chicken coop looks great, so do the walls and fences.

Ty! =)

@Jinxiewinxie The chicken coop looks great, so do the walls and fences. - fantastic :Dyou have a head on your neck - I think you will add turkeys - I always dreamed about it, even if I'm not an American - secondly, if you want to be so nice and give me great pleasure, add some pigeons and geese - why? - I'm thinking about "Rise of the Pharaoh" .. mod - @RedKetchup is currently working on it. I read about ancient Egypt - quote "what animals were bred?", They were definitely cattle, pigs, goats, sheep, ducks, geese and probably The hens were known only from the time of the 'New State"- I am asking for it, Greetings

[Jinxiewinxie]

Turkeys are definitely on my list and I've been thinking about how to add ducks and geese. I think they need a little pond inside a fenced area and not a hutch or coop. I have to do some more research and playing around to make sure I can make a pond (water looks tricky!) first =)

[taniu]

@Jinxiewinxie great news - if you think about a pond, maybe crocodile farms - exotic animals and food - meat, skin, eggs? - I wrote about it to @RedKetchup for adding a lot of camels and crocodiles - but your idea with the ponds is OK - apart from camels - how do you think about adding pigeons - personally I did not know that the Egyptians ate the pigeons? Greetings

[Jinxiewinxie]

Pigeons, hmm? I'd worry that the models are too tiny to tell what they are but I could try =) Can you find a picture of what you have in mind for a pigeon-hutch/cage type building to look like?

[Jinxiewinxie]

Can someone help me with balance, please?

My rabbit hutches' rabbit meat was loosely balanced based off of a fisherman's (1 worker) production in semi-optimal conditions and then the leather was based off how much a hunter usually gets in a season but scaled up some (I figured rabbits breed quite a bit to make up for the smaller leather pieces somehow equalling the same amount you'd get from a deer as a hunter, heh).

The production is random, something is produced 8-10ish times in a season about and that something is either 100 rabbit meat or 6 leather. Sometimes that means you'll get 500 rabbit meat and 24 leather or 42 leather and only 200 rabbit meat. Its the limitations of having a building produce items randomly and was my best solution.

For the chicken coop, chicken meat comes in batches of 4 - 6 items and eggs come in batches of 6 items each time. So.. I could have it randomly produce either one of them to get an "ish" amount of numbered foods per season.

Does 400-500ish total items (in random amounts of eggs or chicken meat) in a season sound about balanced to you? Or should I bring it down to like 200? I don't want to base my numbers off a pasture full of chickens because those numbers seem crazy small (like 50 eggs for a whole season? You could get 50 eggs from 10 chickens in a day or two in real life!)

Here's a bunch of production numbers stitched together, showing what 400-500 items from the chicken coop looks like next to the random & weird organized chaos of the rabbit hutch production XD

[Abandoned]

My opinion is that 400-500 total for 1 worker to produce is good.  I agree vanilla game pasture egg production is low but to my way of thinking the pasture is raising chickens for meat production and eggs are a bonus.  This chicken coop I think is more for family farm for eggs production so I think more eggs and less chicken.

Rabbits are good breeders so I think that total is okay.
