Mutant Baby Mods?
« on: February 19, 2011, 07:20:40 pm »
I wrote this in the Cthulu Mod and i though about it some more. What if there were a small chance of a dwarf giving birth to a mutant? as in the baby would not be dwarf, but a monster with tentacles. It could be a caste and could have a few deficiencies. Can i do this? And if so, how?

Yes, you can do this, just make a new caste and start messing around with stuff. If you don't give the mutant a gender tag, then they will be neither male nor female, and therefor will not part there part in giving birth, avoiding the problem of mutants giving birth to normal dwarfs.

Is there any way to make sure a particular caste in fortress mode gets lots of unhappy thoughts?

perhaps some way to make sure it suffers a lot of pain or something?
That way when an abomination is born it could only be a matter of time before it goes nuts and possibly goes on a murderous rampage?

This isn't very well documented how it all affects game play, but try [PERSONALITY:(trait):lowest:median:highest] to make them depressed. List of traits is here.
