You do not define the OBJECT which becomes the itemcorpse, only material.

To get a log, you need:
[ITEMCORPSE:WOOD:NONE:PLANT_MAT:HIGHWOOD:WOOD]

[Old Greg]

Thanks!

[Destroid]

I don't believe I can resolve this with interactions, as they also appear to have a fixed chance to operate, and currently the only way I can think of to obfuscate this information from the player is to insert dummy venoms so enough injection reports will appear that the player can not be be certain (unless they get a minimum or maximum number of reports).

Why use venom at all? Put this under their bite attack definition (replacing ZOMBIE_PLAGUE with whatever infection interaction that you created, of course).

Code: [Select]

[SPECIALATTACK_INTERACTION:ZOMBIE_PLAGUE]
If you don't want a 100% infection rate, you could put the priority for the infectious bite low and maybe have a normal non-infectious bite that looks the same, so you wouldn't be able to tell from the combat reports if your dwarf (or hiver) caught the plague until symptoms started to develop.

Of course, multiple attacks, such a simple solution!  Thanks for the suggestion.

I'm actually not using interactions at all, just the new CE syndrome tokens in an injected creature extract syndrome.

Alright. I started continuing making my dragon-people called Dragos (Not inspired by Greiger in any way. I thought about making them before I found out about the forums.). I'm currently developing the chromatic dragos and metallic dragos. Chromatic dragos will be meaner and metallic dragos will be nicer. Problem is, I know next to nothing about personality modifiers.

I'd also like to know how to toughen their scales up a bit. They bruise pretty easily. I want specifically them to have stronger scales, not anything else.

So, can anyone help?

[Destroid]

Change the material that their scales are made from.  You will want to look into the material_template_default and tissue_template_default files.

In tissues you will find the scale tissue, which has a variety of properties including what material it is made from, which you can modify in the material templates file.  You probably want to make a new one for your creatures unless you want all creatures with scales to be buffed.

[Deon]

Look at any big mod, most large creatures have thicker leather and tougher body materials.

[jaxy15]

Thanks. I also figured out the personalities. Chromatic dragos are quicker to anger and less cheerful, while metallic dragos are slower to anger and more cheerful. They're also friendlier.

Is there any way that I can replace necromancers? I removed their example interaction, but they still show up, and when I rename secret_death the game spawns an error saying that secret_death was not found and crashes.

[Putnam]

Just set "number of secret types" to 0 in the advanced worldgen. The example interactions don't actually do anything, it's all hardcoded.

[Telgin]

Any ideas what's wrong with this reaction?

Code: [Select]

[REACTION:PONY_PAINT_WOOD_BLACK_BASIC]
   [NAME:forge long sword]
   [BUILDING:SMELTER:CUSTOM_SHIFT_L]
   [REAGENT:metal:1:BAR:NONE:INORGANIC:STEEL]
   [FUEL]
   [PRODUCT:100:1:WEAPON:ITEM_WEAPON_SWORD_LONG:GET_MATERIAL_FROM_REAGENT:metal]
   [SKILL:FORGE_WEAPON]

For reference I'm trying to retroactively add in the ability to forge swords in the pony mod because I forgot to fix that before genning the world and embarking 10 game years ago.  I'm replacing one of the reactions I don't care about with this one.

While fooling around with this I once got a worker to go to the smelter, and take a bar of charcoal and a bar of iron to the smelter, do something and then nothing happened.  As far as I can tell nothing was produced.  I thought I had something broken in the material token for the reagent, so I changed it to INORGANIC:STEEL (can't remember what it was before), and now nobody will even try the reaction.  It just stays in the work queue forever on the smelter and never gets executed.

What gives?

[trees]

Replace your reagent line with this.

Code: [Select]

[REAGENT:metal:150:BAR:NONE:INORGANIC:STEEL]

[Telgin]

That sort of helped.  The guy actually went to the smelter, hauled a steel bar and bar of charcoal to it and performed the reaction.  Still nothing was produced though.  Any other ideas?

[PRODUCT:100:1:WEAPON:ITEM_WEAPON_SWORD_LONG:GET_MATERIAL_FROM_REAGENT:metal:NONE]

Try that.

[Telgin]

Ah, that did it, thanks you two.

[jaxy15]

Okay, I need help. Again. I'm making an xenomorph-tyranid-zerg-like creature called the Pragheel. They'll have tendrils for grasping instead of hands, due to their bulky claws. But here's the problem. The errorlog spits out that the tendrils have no tissue thickness. I don't know why. Here are the creature raws,
