Golden Geese

Description
Description
Adds Golden Geese that lay golden eggs.

They are a type of goose that you can bring with you on embark (for 5k Dwarfbucks) or will rarely hatch from eggs. The Golden Goose can hatch from ~1 out of 1001 eggs, and has gold feathers (both the material and color). It lays 1 gold bar at a nestbox per season. The Geese themselves are worth 10k Dwarfbucks, so a flock of them is a treasure on its own.

Graphics for the golden geese are just recolored normal geese.

Mock Q&A
Is this kind of a dumb mod?
Yep.

Are there any downsides to using it?
Not really, maybe the elves will get mad at you because your masterwork gold goblets are technically animal products now, but I'm struggling to call that a negative.

would actually work as a vanilla animal if restricted to good biomes

How fun! cant wait to turn this on and forget about it, only to magically find a golden goose in the far future. stoked!

I'll kill the goose, so I get all of the golden eggs at once.

Genius mod. Wish I thought about it.

@Some Guy
I want this mod to be functional, polished, and not to interfere with other mods as much as possible, so it is unlikely that I'm going to add a bunch of new features to it ever, but I'm glad you like it.

1.0.3 is up now and fixes child goose graphics (apparently I had broken all of them). It also removes the FEMALE tag from golden geese (and that prevents them from giving live birth). Existing geese in existing saves cannot be fixed, but new saves in 1.0.3 are fixed, and I think newly spawned geese in a save that has been updated to 1.0.3 should be fixed (but don't have an easy way to test that)

Thanks again for the bug report.

I have played with this mod quite a bit, and I do love it to death. Love the high fantasy, and as the math seen below points out it's not even very profitable compared to cooked meal multipliers.

That said I do have a bug report, and it's a bit funny. I don't know much about modding this game, or programming in general, but I will do my best to be specific. If this is just a joke mod, it would break my heart. I am waiting patiently for more and more deep fried meme garbage to shovel onto this game, and this golden goose is high quality enough to stick it to the normal saves

The golden geese reproduce via live birth, and the offspring are invisible. I found out because I just saw the pop-up for it, and wondered if it meant the gold bar was ready. Nah. It seems like the obvious issue is to further neuter these golden geese?

My mistake! Looks like a sneeky normal goose went and bunked with the golden and then left.

@Amicus
That should not happen, and looking at the raws I'm not sure how it could unless you're also running some other mod that adds eggs to all castes of geese or the golden goose just happened to sit on a nest box that already had eggs in it.
If you are pretty sure this is happening, I'd appreciate it if you could start a discussion and give me some more details.

Is it normal for them to produce normal eggs and gold bars?
