Feeding the dragons #
Dragons eat food only once a day, when they themselves feel the need, and immediately after that they become productive.
It is recommended to always keep supplies in your dragon feeder. Dragons have enough endurance for 5-10 days of fasting in their native habitat, and after five days of fasting they can leave their cave. Perhaps they will appear somewhere in the land of clones and try to settle next to a new owner, or maybe they will disappear forever.
You cannot selectively feed dragons. There is only one common feeding for all dragons - regardless of whether they live in the caves of castles, the amber caves of the principality, or in the research center.
Each age of the animal has its own optimal diet, which allows them to gain weight at maximum speed and produce the maximum amount of product. It is important to understand that deviating from the optimal diet can lead to a decrease in the rate at which your animals gain weight, as well as a slowdown in other life processes and production.
With increasing age, animals’ consumption of each type of feed increases from a minimum on the first day to a maximum on the last day of the age period. Their weight gain increases proportionally from the minimum value at the beginning to the maximum value at the end of this period.

Getting offspring from dragons is possible at the age of 101 to 900 days inclusive.
If animals receive an extremely small amount of feed (compared to the optimal diet), close to zero, their weight will decrease by 1/3 of the weight that they could gain with optimal feeding.
Suboptimal diet for dragons #
If there is less feed in the animals’ feeder than is necessary for an optimal diet, the feed ration of your animals becomes suboptimal (partial).
Weight gain and production quantity #
Weight gain and production (manure) are reduced. The current value of the parameter can be calculated using the following formula:
\(W = (Wo • х)/4\)The following variables are used in the above formula:
| Variable | Explanation |
|---|---|
| \(W\) | current parameter value |
| \(Wo\) | parameter value for optimal diet |
| \(x\) | amount of food the dragon received |
Recovery and pregnancy periods #
Recovery and pregnancy periods are lengthened. The current value of the parameter can be calculated using the following formula:
Current parameter value = (parameter value for optimal diet • 4/x) where x = amount of food the dragon received.
The consequences of any intermediate deviations from the optimal feed ration are calculated in a similar way. However, it is worth paying attention to the fact that the calculation examples given do not apply to the amount of gold brought by the dragon. The amount of gold brought in with a non-optimal feed ration also decreases, but the relation is non-linear.
Example #
Let’s look at a specific example. The dragon received only 1 of 4 types of food.
Weight gain and quantity of products (manure) are reduced:
Current parameter value = (parameter value for optimal diet • 1/4). Thus, if the dragon’s weight increased by 4 kg with an optimal diet, then in this situation the dragon will gain only 1 kg of weight.
Recovery and pregnancy periods are lengthened:
Current parameter value = (parameter value for optimal diet x 4/1). Thus, if, with an optimal diet, the recovery period of a female dragon would be reduced by 24 hours in 1 day, then in this situation it will be reduced by only 6 hours.
The consequences of any intermediate deviations from the optimal feed ration are calculated in a similar way. However, it is worth paying attention to the fact that the calculation examples given do not apply to the amount of gold brought by the dragon. The amount of gold brought in with a non-optimal feed ration also decreases, but the relation is non-linear.
