Hey so i read on the forum a few times about people duplicating raws and it having extremely strange effects i.e. making beaches made of native silver and rock into bat live tissue. this sounds like lots of fun so I was curious how do i actually do this? What raws do i duplicate and where do I put them? Do i generate a new world after the procedure? thanks.


Also feel free to post about odd things you've seen by using this technique It seems interesting.

1. Copy and paste an entry in one of your creature files, so it's repeated twice.
2.
3. Generating a new world will no produced fucked up things!

Mind you, purposefully destabilizing your game won't be fun the majority of the time. When I did it in a modding... accident, the game went through a period for about 12 worldgens in which it'd just crash without me being able to play. The 13th or so worldgen produced a civilization of albatrosses, exchanged goblins for kobolds, and caused weird-ass clusters of mineable solid puss to appear in my soil layers.

Duplicating raws just shifts everything by one; so if you duplicate one raw, instead of the mountain entity using dwarves it will use the next creature on the list. This leads to some interesting stories but most world either crash or are relatively unplayable. Other than the initial giggle, its not really worth it. Its much better to just spend the time modding something cool and then appreciate that.
