Would this secret concept work?
« on: May 28, 2020, 07:56:15 am »
I had an idea for a secret thats essentially more a "Frankenstein's monster" style of necromancer. The details of it are as follows.

*The "necromancy" interaction can only be done to adjacent corpses, and takes a little time to stitch up the corpse.

*The undead raised are always intelligent, but gain [SLOW_LEARNER], and still need to eat and drink.

Would this be possible? I havent played with interactions or secrets since I tried to make an MTG mod.

The litten is wandering around the dump now, occasionally exploding.

You can do this, apart from taking time (interactions are always instantaneous).  Well, you can make a chained interaction, but this seems like more trouble than it's worth.
However, you can make it an EXPERIMENT_ONLY interaction, which will cause it to only be used in worldgen.
Pretty sure that the generated "intelligent undead" right now are essentially Frankenstein's Monster inspired anyway.
