I am attempting to add tribbles to my game, but I cannot seem to make them show up in the buying screen at embark.  I modeled them off of the fluffy warmbler and pigs.  Could you guys tell me what I am doing wrong with my creature file?  I added the creature_tribble file to my raws

[Putnam]

Is it in a correctly-formatted creature file (first line is name of file minus .txt, second line is [OBJECT:CREATURE])?

[crazybear]

Ahh, I think that was the problem!  Thank you Putnam, sorry for such a newbie question! Testing it out right now.

[crazybear]

Unfortunately, that did not solve the problem.  They are still not available from the embark screen to buy, even after adding those two items.

[Putnam]

Oh! I'm pretty sure that you can't take vermin as pets on embark.

[crazybear]

Thank you, that was the problem! It works now!

[crazybear]

Another quick question.  How can I make them reproduce quickly so that I can make them more like the tribbles from star trek?

[crazybear]

I added [LITTERSIZE:5:10], that should be all i need to do to increase the litter size the creature has right?

[Eric Blank]

Correct, as long as they don't have [MULTIPLE_LITTER_RARE]. I don't know how the game handles conflicts with tags like the reproduction-oriented ones, so it's probably safest to use only one or the other.

the troubles with tribbles....
