Hello Community,

i played Dungeon Keeper II for a few months now and i experienced a bug which is really annoying.

I tried both, singleplayer and multiplayer, but at some point of the game, my hatcheries stop producing chickens. This means, that none of my hatcheries produces anymore, even those, that i clamed from other keepers.

I think i don't have to tell you how annoying it is, when you spend 3 hours on a multiplayer game with a friend and you have to stop, because your creatures aren't fed anymore.

Does anyone knows a trick to fix this?

Thanks for your help!

Greetings, styx

Bump this, im having the same problem.
edit
I"m actually having this problem in DK1

If you're asking about DK1, then it is really off-topic..

Anyway, in short - in DK1 this is caused by 'thing' limit. Solution depends on what are the 'things' which are taking up most slots. Example:
https://keeperklan.com/threads/5095-Keepers-and-Thing-limit

In DK2, I don't think there are any static limits of 'things' - more memory is allocated when there's a need for it. So in DK2 the reason of such bug is most likely different (ie. one of config options was overwritten within the game memory).

HEy guys
I remember long time ago, years ago, me having the same hatchery-chickens bug in DK2 - the disappearing chickens! LOL But I don't have this bug anymore and I don't have a clue what it was caused by. I just remember the more hatcheries / the bigger size of the hatcheries, the fewer chikens were being produced and my army of creatures got angry and leaves the dungeons. I "fixed" that by editing the map and incerasing the chickens growth rate of the hatchery.

Just another nasty bug in this game.

how do you edit the chicken growth? I don't find it

I don't have DK2 currently on my disk, but as far I remember it was somewhere in DK2 Map Editor - in Hatchery Room properties or it was one of Glabal Variables.
