Considering the options, I agree that no nest would the best idea... Currently I make my own 'nests' once my birds and reptiles have laid eggs by creating a small ditch and filling it with loose hay... :)

Still can't wait for the peafowl... What a surprise XD

Koiking: yes a realistic number of 3 - 6 eggs. Peafowls make nests on the floor using Straw and grass actually, not so prominent, but what I'm saying is for all birds. (like including RR, unless the baby isn't going to be only one)

Eriorquez: Umm no, if it was I'd have done it XD so basically the target of a new individual/egg being created in this game, is connected only to two stuff, walking + Laying/Giving birth. All you can do is make it to give birth directly or make it to lay an egg, or a nest, get the point? All the three entities correspond to one individual, but it's fine if 3 - 5 are being born directly, and it's fine with that many eggs as well, but not that many nests, so no nests at all.

and lol XD

you could make a place able nest without a NiCollisionData. Then when it lays the eggs just place the nest over it.

Beware the Naitaka!!

Could you code it so the multiple nests are situated directly over the others so it gives the appearance of one nest?

About the nests, okay this is what happens.

Many of us have wondered why the Dino nests have 3 eggs and yet only one baby comes out, analyzing the coding in depth, we can see how stupidly BF has coded this, no offence to them, it is indeed very unconventional. What we think is an animal has a special coding to create nests and lay eggs inside it, thinking there are two systems, in actuality that's a no. BF has coded to be the whole "nest+leaves+3 eggs" as one egg object, meaning to say it is equivalent to an egg and corresponds to one object. Now the thing is, when we increase the number of eggs for an animal we get that many eggs created. Now the thing is, since the whole nest object is technically corresponding to "1 egg" itself, if you make it lay 6 eggs, 6 nest objects are in turn created, and individual emerging from each nest. I think that's really stupid and no one would want to have it, so the two options we've got is
* Make nests, and only one baby
* Many babies, no nest

I think Many babies is more needed than unrealistic one baby, especially for birds and reptiles, so I had the nest coding in the peafowl removed for this reason. So anyone trying to add nest behavior to some animal and want it to have many babies, you may want to consider this.

So no nests for the peafowl, and I feel I've chosen for the best, because I love to see chicks running in small groups behind the parents, instead of only one baby.

Uhm, I'll PM you about something, because I have had a dinosaur nest which gave birth to three animals... :huh:

Brach: What's the point in making a placeable nest XD and manually place it over?, it's only worth it if the animal itself is making it and It's not possible to make the animal to 'create' the nest and then lay, because creating a nest is basically the same task as laying an egg or giving birth so I don't think we can insert another behavior before that.

Pheasant lord: Actually that might work....because I think there's a coding to scatter the eggs or something, because sometimes I've seen eggs exactly coinciding...But I'm not going to include that anyway in peafowl, because they don't make very significant nests, but we can try something out with RR.

Iben: Did you code the dinosaur or was it a BF dino? Explain it to me better please in your PM or anything.

Well I sent him the Lio skin and edited mesh to him on that day to ask him to finish it, because I don't want my skin to be wasted, so he'll probably release it, if not I'll finish it, with his permission ofcourse.
