Hey,
a friend of mine wants to make giants that can through boulders like a catapult or just hurl them like a crossbow.

Is it possible to make custom projectiles and if so. How???

As a side question, is it possible to arm a titan with a sword?

[darkflagrance]

Megabeasts can't use equips yet. Hopefully that will be changing in the near future, but eventually they will.

You can't mod the giants to throw stones per se, only mod in a new kind of ammunition and a new kind of weapon that fires it. Furthermore, this ammunition will have to run off an existing weapon skill (bow, crossbow, blowdart?), and it will probably fire looking like an arrow or bolt, affected by the same trajectory limitations.

Edit: I also read the title as "Boulder Lobster Giants"

I assume you're talking about boulders found on the ground aboveground.
Those can't be used in any way except smoothing them, which removes them.

Also, I read the title as Boulder Lobster Giant.
I was somewhat dissapointed.

I demand that someone makes a race of Boulder Lobster Giants.

"Boulder Lobster Giant" SAY WHAT ?!?! LOL 

No, the dug out stone boulders. not the type found outside.

[Danarca]

Actually, after the next update we can make Giant Lobsters made out of boulders..
SO DOING IT

Just need to learn how to make creatures, have you guys seen the new sourcecode of creatures? It's crazy D:

We're getting closer to unlocking the dwarven genome.

Actually there's not a lot of things added, I mean it's not complex at all. The body structure is more detailed and matgloss placeholder finally began to look like a real array of body materials. As it should be. Bravo Toady .

[Danarca]

Still more complex than

"overdrivelse frem for forståelse", or exaggeration rather than understanding as the danish saying go.
