So i'm thinking about doing some modding to dwarf fortress and i've been wonedering.  Is there a way to have a creature that will die bu tcome back later? And i'm not talking about raise from dead kind but more of an automatic revival as soon as it dies. Is it possible?

[Putnam]

It's possible to make it not die in the first place.

Grr, those fluffballs were mine originally. I realy dont mind people copying it but at least credit where its due.

That aside, creature do not die unless bled out, bisected, decapitated, suffocated or received brain damage (to all brain organs if more than one). And of course the certain-kill stuff like failing down bottomless pits, encasing, bridge crushing, etc.

You can prevent dismembering by making all bodypart embedded, prevent bleeding, suffocating and brain damage by cimply removing their tags entirely and even make the creature itself unhittable by making all its tissues of feather layer type.

Alternately you can give them an expremely hard exterior with an extremely elastic interior.

Wil [FLIER] help with falling from big heights? I think not.... but what if:) Though flier really makes you add stairs and ramps to all walls:) Or they will be stuck there:( Stupid dwarfes.

[Ishar]

Cave-in is still a surefire kill-method. As far as I know, nothing survives that.
