I'm trying to make a creature with liquid basalt blood. Am I doing it right?
« on: November 25, 2013, 08:35:27 pm »
So i'm making a new creature (basically a flame-attuned dwarf) and she fights too effectively to bleed, so I don't know if she actually does.

Is this portion of the raws done right? If not, what needs fixing?

Edit: She does not bleed, blood or basalt. Please help if you can, I'm not sure what's wrong.

Code: [Select]
[USE_MATERIAL_TEMPLATE:BLOOD:STONE_TEMPLATE]
[BLOOD:MATERIAL:INORGANIC:BASALT:LIQUID]

Edit: She does not bleed, blood or basalt. Please help if you can, I'm not sure what's wrong.

This is the default for many creatures, with some colors added:
Quote
   [USE_MATERIAL_TEMPLATE:BLOOD:BLOOD_TEMPLATE]
   [BLOOD:LOCAL_CREATURE_MAT:BLOOD:LIQUID]

What you want is simply:
Code: [Select]
[BLOOD:INORGANIC:BASALT:LIQUID]
You don't need to define the local creature mat if you aren't going to use it.

[BLOOD:INORGANIC:BASALT:LIQUID]Wouldnt liquid basalt be called magma and be very hot? as in "creature gets injured, then dies of the heat from its blood"?

From experiments with liquid gold it seems unless you make the blood hot, it just comes out liquid, and solidifies almost instantly

If your animals aren't expendable, you could always station a dwarf or two out there?

Thank you all for your help. It might also be a good thing to actualy put in [VASCULAR] once in a while. Oops ::)

Not if the creature itself has a ridiculous body temp. You can set thing to be hot without melting, and it isn't far-fetched for DF because ice floodgates keep out magma.
