Why don't beavers breed?

[alex_up06]

My entire population is simply dying of old age, while they have water, food and shelter, what am I doing wrong?

[laughing man]

One thing is the other factors like fun, etc - the general happyness (you got the level at left top) - the other factor is to have more housing than you actually need. What also helps to achieve more breeding (so at least from my observation) is having the meetup spaces like the rooftop chill area and the campfire place where the beavers meet in their freetime. And as i said make sure you have more housing than you currently need. But be carefull - to fast population grow can kill you in a drought.

One key factor is making sure they have enough free time to breed. Try reducing their working hours.

I'm having the same problem. My beavers seemed to be breeding fine before today's patch - maybe something got broken?

[Jmbj^^]

same here, the breading just broke today, way more deaths than births all of a sudden.
Went from over 100 beavers to only 60 with low work hours and more than enough of everything, incuding comfort, shelter, social intractions, food and water

Because they identify as non-binary beavers.

I prefer the she/her beavers.

*pffft* lol

My beavers breed like... well, beavers i suppose.
I have 10-11 living comfort since some hours, so no clue if that affects the breeding rate.

I got a colony here for 5 cycles, and i still only have 12 guys. They just don't want to f*ck...

8 happiness, more than double the space for beavers than needed, 16 hours normal shifts and one get born, one dies....

It's just frustrating. It's so damn random it seams, because other games i get them versy fast but this run is cursed. Having the game run max pseed in the background so i can actually do stuff....

Guess no more Nture Beavers any more, i mean, their windmills suc*k as well. Maybe 2 hours of day they are active making energy and elevation doing nothing. Wasted ressources.

Watching people play on youtube, I've done more then them are mine aren't breeding like theirs are.

The only thing I haven't done is had extra homes, but most of the time I had free slots...

not sure if bugged or mine just happen to be non-binary types as stated that prefer to complicate their sexuality and the meaning of it instead of just doing the f@#$@ing ;)

[alex_up06]

thank guys, i tried to build housing and that works

[koirapoig]

for the first race extra free homes seem to work pretty well. Just pop some empty houses down and they start making babies. I like the ironteeth race who breeds younglings in berryvats really easy to control pop growth.

I have had the same population now for 3 cycles. Why, that is all the housing I have built. As soon as I want more beavers, getting food sorted out at the moment, I will bill another 20 beds, and they will fill those beds quickly. Happiness is good. That is all it seems to take.
