Surprise, surprise, I've run into a bit of a snag with my pogeymans again.

I'd like the pokemon to be able to reproduce, which requires the [CHILD] tag, of course. However, the [CHILD] tag doesn't seem to accept arguments under 1 year (such as [CHILD:0:90], and year-long childhood muck up my evolution system all number of ways. I can have them grow to full size in a matter of days, no problem, but as long as the creature is a child, it still displays as "Ponyta Foal," even if it's evolved into a Rapidash already.

Has anyone found a way to (a) have reproduction without a child stage or (b) shorten the child stage below a year?

You can set BABYNAME in a caste and it overides GENERAL_BABY_NAME, so you can name it rapidash yearling foal or just rapidash yearling, same with CHILDNAME overiding GENERAL_CHILD_NAME.  And I haven't tried this, but if you move the child tag into the ponyta caste will that work for you?

My problem is more that a "rapidash foal" doesn't make much sense; the Rapidish is the adult. To use a better example, I'd like my Caterpies to evolve into Metapods a little quicker than a whole year, but if this is a caterpie I raised from an egg, it will hatch as a "caterpie larva" and still remain a "caterpie larva" when it evolves into Metapod.

Moving the child tag into the early caste might be worth a shot, though. My only worry is that it'll make higher evolutions sterile, but we'll see.

from my knowledge as long as there is a [MALE] and [FEMALE] taged creature it will reproduce int oa randomly chosen caste with children tags.

How do regional interactions function in worldgen?  I made a few custom evil interactions, but I can't seem to get them to take effect anywhere it should.  It seems, from looking at world.dat raws, that the effects are randomly chosen from a pool of interactions for each region at worldgen; do the generated ones take precedence?

Here are my interactions and the creatures used for reference.  (Some things like "Dunekin" are custom races; this is actually part of a (quite modest!) major mod that I'm working on.)

Spoiler: Interactions (click to show/hide)

Spoiler: Creatures (click to show/hide)

Also, how does IS_FREQUENCY work, if the value is less than 100?

EDIT: nvm, it works now

Is there any way to have a reaction require a skull as a reagent?  I can get them to use skulls, but it also allows other kinds of bone items to be used.

The reason I want to know is that I wanted to mod in a reaction that requires the adventurer to kill a certain number of animals, and skulls are the easiest way to accurately count kills.  If there's not a way to use skulls, I'll just fall back on using prepared hearts, which are almost as good. (Not as good, because some smaller creatures don't drop hearts when you butcher them)

EDIT: I suppose I could use corpses too.  Is it possible to require a corpse as a reagent without allowing severed bodyparts in the reaction? (i.e. allow Foo Corpse and Foo Mutilated Corpse, but not Foo Left Leg)

To make magma-proof, set melting/boiling temperature higher than 12000. To make magma proof, set magma to be brewable.

I'm trying to add a simple pedestal structure, a basic workshop with no reactions that can be built with an artifact to help boost a room's value [and give a use to pointless artifacts]. I add the entry for it in building_custom.txt and add a permitted_building tag to the entity I want to build it with... but what happens is that the Screw Press gets -replaced- with the pedestal, even though I never touched the screw press's default stuff.

I'd like to be able to build both. Is there something I'm missing?

Corpses aren't good to use in reactions.  I forgot where I saw it but you can make a custom skull material that uses a REACTION_CLASS:SKULL for skulls to be used in reactions,  also teeth can be butchered with BUTCHER_SPECIAL:CORPSEPEICE:NONE which can be used in a reaction that requires the tooth material.  If you just want a count of kills an Extra Butcher Object of a cut gemstone (or a totem item) made of a custom material called whatever you want like "Brownie Point" can be added to the heart, brain, or spleen (whatever organ the creature has only one of) and your reaction can use this material.

Could you post your raws for the pedestal? It's possible you might have forgotten to change either the name or the hotkey for the building and you copied that data from the screw pump. Also does your error log say anything? That is usually a good first place to look for problems.

I attempted to make cannonballs before I attempted to make cannonballs I forcefully shoved things in. I just wanted faster transport of goods. VIA deadly ballistas.

I've been trying to post this response for an hour. I just copied the text renavigated to the page and tried again.

ITEM_SIEGEAMMO_CANNONBALL is not an ITEM type, SIEGEAMMO is
so you would need to change the reaction to

Code: [Select]
[PRODUCT:100:1:SIEGEAMMO:ITEM_SEIGEAMMO_CANNONBALL:GET_MATERIAL_FROM_REAGENT:A:NONE]

I'm getting an error called 'SCREW_PRESS:Unrecognized Building Definition (Workshop) Token: BUILDING' whenever I load, it seems.

Here's my building_custom.txt. I found this elsewhere, from another mod I think, and just tried to integrate it into my game.
