[Impending Doom]

Just a quick modding question: If I add several additional types of wagon to the [CREATURE_EQUIPMENT] file, will the merchant's wagons be picked from the list at random? Or will the RNG just pick the first one on the list?

Example: The idea is to go along with a post-apocalyptic mod. Namely, I am trying to make caravans consist of a random hodgepodge of ramshackle vehicles, like technicals, hummers, etc.

So, will it work?

[Kashyyk]

Test it, and tell us what happens. As far as I can recall no one has done this before.

[ZeroGravitas]

My bet is on none of them being used because the use of wagons is hard-coded.

Teh wagons are not hardcoded.

[LegoLord]

I can tell you exactly what will happen.  The wagon type will be picked randomly.  How do I know this?  It happens just about every time a caravan comes in one of my LEGO mod forts.  The wagon type added in is called an airship.  Doesn't fly though.

Different things may happen if you experiment with biome tags.

Yeah, I have it be picked randomly with my metal wagons that hold a lot more. Biomes might restrict the race, but what would happen if they couldn't bring a wagon, and would it be determined by the parent civilization or your fort?

Do your metal wagons show up in different colors?

[DennyTom]

does this affect embark? or you still and allways get that one clasic wagon at start?

[Mephisto]

Your embark wagon isn't a creature, unlike the others. Unless someone says otherwise, I would assume it's hardcoded.

[i2amroy]

Do your metal wagons show up in different colors?

No, but that is because I didn't think to change the color tag, so I don't know if the color is hardcoded or not.

This might be up for grabs, as it doesn't get destroyed, but scuttled. I'm pretty sure it is hard-coded but I have my doubts on it.

[LegoLord]

You get three logs from the embark wagon and one log from the creature wagon.  I think they're hard-coded, the constructed ones.

I believe that it is harcoded. I tried to add metal wagons as well, with a grey color. when the dwarves brought one along it was still brown like the wooden wagons.

Does this mean I can't make green wagon sized sea turtles?
Ah well.
