Fortress defense mod and building destroyer visitors
« on: October 15, 2017, 07:23:24 pm »

So, is there a way I can fix it, in the raws or something?
I end up getting jotun visitors, but they come into my fort and start breaking everything.
I already have a legendary squad and can deal with them, but it is pretty annoying having to kill every visitor of X race.

search their creature files for [BUILDING DESTROYER] I think it is... or something like that... remove that and no more knocking things over.

Thanks for the orientation. :)
I also have the issue of undead dropping all their gear on sieges. Any ideas?

undead are always buggy.  Generally speaking if they are dwarf size they seem fine but once they get bigger than a human... well they always seem to drop their stuff... I think its a strength issue, that maybe the transformation to undead makes larger creatures unable to carry their normal gear due to weight... if you end up with undead kobolds or goblins they never seem to have this issue.  I've not personally investigated it, but there are several similar reports across the modding community.

possible necro, but i don't think this info was posted anywhere - after editing out the building destroyer tags from creature_fortress_defense and noticing my jotun visitors were still breaking all my stuff, it turns out those particular units were in creature_arctic instead.  my other fd civs aren't destroyers, but this might also be happening with other races, so it's very possible that other races also have extra raw entries

There are a few creatures that appear in more than one file... they are all independently named internally, but may appear with the same name in game.

Those destroyer visitors are such a pain in the ass. Even with Fortress Defense addon completely disabled I still get for example Joton (one of the additional civs) visiting and they also habitually smash and dismantle stuff.

In the masterwork settings there is two ways to spawn Jotun. You may have one turned off but the other is on.
