Question about carnivores

Hello,

the question is very simple:

I remember in an old scenario, hosted during the last period before the closure, a carnivore able to sit and rest. It was, specifically, a domesticated Slucer :)

Well, I have tried many times to get this behaviour, but seems only NPC can sit down. I found 'guard' and 'patrol' or 'follow routes' but nothing about resting, while the herbivores have this possibility.

So, is there any way to have carnivores resting?

Thank you in advance for your answers.

:confused:

'guard' or 'patrol' or 'follow routes' should be exclusive to homins and kitin. Predators should get 'feed' or 'rest', just like herbivores.

Even a resting predator will still attack any viable target entering it's sight radius though, and will also occasionally get up to find a new place to sleep. :)

Thank you for your answer,

I entered my scenario but seems that all the 'aggressive' animals get the choices I told: "patrol", "guard" etc...

So i'm suffering a sort of bug?

Either you are or I am. :p

I checked again and noted all the mini-bosses did get the 'guard'/'patrol'/etc options, even if they were predators or herbivores. This could be partly worked around by grouping Slucer with a normal torbak and using that torbak's 'rest' option, which makes the entire group do the same.
