Quick question on giving things molten blood
« on: May 19, 2010, 04:20:33 pm »

What would be the easiest/quickest way to give my dwarves, or another creature, blood of molten metal? They already have steel skin, so they would just need something that melts at a lower temperature right? I.e. I want to give them molten lead for blood, how would I go about changing the raws to get this effect? If I would need to change other things as well to make sure they survived, I could do that too.

The only way I can figure it out is to make a new metal material of your liking that is molten at room/body temperature.

Though I am not sure as I haven't played with that part of modding yet.

You don't need to worry about the temperature if their skin is steel. If I recall correctly just replacing their blood tag with.

[BLOOD:INORGANIC:LEAD:LIQUID]

Should do the trick. You much have to make Lead LOCAL_CREATURE_MAT and do [BLOOD:LOCAL_CREATURE_MAT:LEAD:LIQUID], but I do not believe so.

If, say, you made a bronze colossus' blood molten metal, would he be able to bleed out? Because that would be AWESOME.

He would have blood, so I don't see why not.  :D

Metal blood for bronze colossi? Too easy. The correct way is to tame a dragon, then let it take care of such a minor nuisance. Dragonfire can kill bronze colossi. Though you might need more than one dragon...

More than one? But there is only a few dozens spawned at the dawn of time... and they can't breed!

Dragonfire can kill anything. It's one of the only ways to kill unkillable creatures.
