Gelding, Breeding Seasons, Gestation Periods, Litters

[AnimalMother 4]

Hello all you lovely modders out there!

On our server, we're hoping to build a living market and livestock plays an important role in it, so we have a request for a mod that would make animal reproduction more realistic:

 

Gelding
Animals, particularly males, could be made infertile and could not be reversed (unless, say, through DB Browser for SQ Lite).

We've noticed that eggs can be made infertile, and that roosters cannot be bred with hens, and were wondering if the same could be applied to other animals.

 

Breeding Seasons

Certain harvests are limited to a time of year, and in Talor's Survival mod, crops can be limited to seasonal growth. We've wondered if the same could be applied to animals regarding breeding seasons. Up until the possible release of a mod like this, we've been role-playing and only breeding animals during certain times (but as our server, hopefully, grows, we cannot expect everyone to do the same):

 

Bison

Start	End
Day: Ant	Day: Wrath
Week: Second	Week: Fourth
Month: Fire	Month: Dancer

 

Cattle

Start	End
Day: Ant	Day: Awake
Week: Third	Week: Second
Month: Leaf	Month: White Shark

 

Sheep

Start	End
Day: Wrath	Day: Awake
Week: Second	Week: Fourth
Month: Dancer	Month: Omen

 

Horses

Start	End
Day: Ant	Day: Awake
Week: First	Week: Fourth
Month: Leaf	Month: Dancer

 

 

Gestation Periods

In Ausimus' Configurable Gestation Period mod, you can set the number of gestation days for horses (maybe for other animals? I'm not entirely sure) from 1-100 days. We would like it if this could be done for all livestock and have it longer than 100 days, if possible.
Ideally, we'd like:
(days meaning wurm days)

Horses: 330-345 days

Cows: 283 days

Sheep: 152 days

Bison: 283 days
Pigs: 114 days

 

Litters
Mostly, this refers to pigs and to sheep. Since it's common for sheep to have twin births and for pigs to give birth to more than one piglet, we'd like to see, if possible, more than one offspring produced. (Again, we've just been role-playing this and summoning the young animals when they finally give birth. Very time consuming, as you can imagine.)

Pigs: 8-12

Sheep: 1-2
Dogs: 8-12

Cats: 1-8

 

So that's about it, if there's anyone out there who thinks this is possible and would be willing to devote the time to making it, we'd be absolutely delighted!

As always, Happy Gaming from your friends at Teria!

A fascinating idea- good luck with your request.
