If you multiply a grazing creature's maximum SIZE by its GRAZER value, the result is almost always 60 million (yaks, muskoxen, deer, reindeer, and alpacas are slightly lower due to rounding); thus, all creatures graze at a rate proportional to their size. As such, the best livestock are the ones that grow up to the greatest size in the smallest amount of time, and the winner is the water buffalo, growing to 10,000kg within only 2 years. --[[User:Quietust|Quietust]] 19:45, 22 February 2011 (UTC) | If you multiply a grazing creature's maximum SIZE by its GRAZER value, the result is almost always 60 million (yaks, muskoxen, deer, reindeer, and alpacas are slightly lower due to rounding); thus, all creatures graze at a rate proportional to their size.

I had a water buffalo starve to death for some reason, despite it being in a pasture with plenty of grass (that it appeared to be eating). With a grazer value of sixty, it should easily be able to feed itself, no? Any idea what might have gone wrong?

:I had a massive pasture (max size, but theres a couple of farm plots in it) assigned to about 50 animals, out of these maybe 3-4 were Water Buffaloes. After a while , I saw that many animals were hungry and transferred the water buffaloes to another pasture. Then the remaining 45+ animals all became satisfied (and this includes horses, donkeys, llamas, alpacas, cows, reindeer, mules, sheep and pigs). On the other hand a couple of water buffaloes, despite having a dedicated, untouched pasture to themselves, starved. The ones that survive are permanently hungry. I think this is the way they are built. --[[User:Stinhad Limarezum|Stinhad Limarezum]] 04:38, 10 May 2011 (UTC) | :I had a massive pasture (max size, but theres a couple of farm plots in it) assigned to about 50 animals, out of these maybe 3-4 were Water Buffaloes.

I've just added a section to the article titled Overcrowding. It seems like it's worth mentioning beyond just here on the talk page. But, it's a very slim section right now. My hope is that someone has done some experimenting or has more details and will expand it. From my own experience, all I can add is that I've seen tame animals even attack my dwarves. I assume this was due to overcrowding angst. If others can verify, that could be added.

− | :I slightly expanded the overcrowding section based on my own experience. After some testing, I discovered animals will only fight with animals which they compete for territory. I had one pasture zone overlapping a single tile of a 4x1 pasture zone, and the creatures in each pasture got in a fight a few times. I moved the second pasture over a single tile, and although the size of the pasture was the same, the animals stopped fighting. In conclusion, if your pastures are not 'contested', then your animals will not 'compete'. | + | :I slightly expanded the overcrowding section based on my own experience.
