Huge dangerous plants
« on: December 06, 2012, 11:25:28 am »
I'd like to see some more dangerous and impressive flora in evil areas.

Like a huge plant with many tentacles and a huge mouth in the middle. If something gets too close and the thing is awake/hungry, it'll lash out and pull it to the mouth to devour it.

Didn't come up with a way how to kill em yet.

Somewhat moddable already. Just make a creature with the tags [IMMOBILE], [NOSTUN], [NO_SLEEP], and specify that it inhabit's evil biomes.

People love a happy ending. So every episode, I will explain once again that I don't like people. And then Mal will shoot someone. Someone we like. And their puppy.

I take a lion from the tropical creature raw. . . and edit the topmost lines of code.

Edit: I will leave the body alone for now, as it probably calls for some tinkering and custom parts.

I make a root cluster for it. . .

Based off of legs.

Next is possibly making a plant material custom, or stealing the ones in-game.

I add tissue and material layouts.  With the tags Im giving it it doesn't need fancy things like brains or hearts or lungs.

The damn thing won't get eyes in its eye stalks, but other than that its simply customizing it.  Also it won't stand, but that only makes it slower. . .

Did you want special features?  Eyes of a color, or whathaveyous?  All I have left is his not standing and a vine attack.  (and testing).

If you care to follow its here.

problem is they won't spawn on the map. They'll be there when you build your fortress (maybe) but will never grow back. They -might- end up on the edge of the map from time to time but I have no idea. So I prefer the idea of them being implemented in Vanilla, properly.

when Toady does seperate attack and move speeds it'll be able to be.  It also won't breed. . .  but they'd be in adventure!

I'd want them to just spontaneously grow out of the ground in certain biomes. We may as well wait for Toady to create his own creatureplants.

My raw editing skills are limited, but couldn't you create a vermin that moves around that 'morphs' into the plant? In effect acting as a motile seed?

It would also allow for extra !!fun!! as a giant dwarf eating plant appears in your tree farm!

Not sure exactly how hard it would be, but I know Masterworks uses something similar to create turrets etc.
