Workshop Spawning NPCs
« on: November 21, 2010, 08:03:30 pm »
Is it possible to make a workshop produce entities? A golem workshop or some such where you can bring ten of a material together and make a new full member of the fortress or at least a damn good guard animal?

In short, no.

Blast. I guess I'll have to settle with making a magma man caste for dwarves.

This is a bit off topic, but tangentially related...

I encountered a human castle in adventure mode the other day with an infinite supply of naked human wrestlers. No idea how that was happening. A bunch attacked me as soon as I entered the castle. I went through the outer towers several times slaughtering them, but each time I came back around to the start there were -new- naked human wrestlers there! I slaughtered a bunch of them in their sleep, and kept at it past dawn breaking. Once dawn broke, a bunch started heading to the building in the courtyard, ignoring me. I sat there and killed them. They still kept trickling in every once in a while, though. Very bizarre. Then, when I head back to the exit, they finally decide to start attacking me again, and mob me as I exit. All told, my little dwarf killed over 200 naked human wrestlers. >___> So... if you can figure out how to make something that replicates this bug(?), I suppose you might have a tiny shot at spawning creatures. Or, at any rate, naked human wrestlers.

What you describe is a reported/confirmed bug, by the way. Making use of it would be extremely impractical and wouldn't ever lead to a situation resulting in more player-controlled creatures, at least in its current form.

Create a dwarven brothel. Or a dwarven Viagra factory.

@Footjob, you can microwave most grains I've tried pretty easily through the microwave, even if they aren't packaged for it.

I'd love chompworks.
Mass construct chain chomps to steamroll all goblin invaders.
