What's the best way to make a slow creature leave a trail of slime wherever it travels? Without too much FPS impact?
(I think I'd have the slime be nausea-inducing, maybe some swelling. )

What's the best way to make a slow creature leave a trail of slime wherever it travels? Without too much FPS impact?
(I think I'd have the slime be nausea-inducing, maybe some swelling. )

Is there a way to make it evaporate?

[Revanchist]

Perhaps you could have the slime boil at the room temperature, and have the [SPEC_HEAT:x] at a high number.
That way it will eventually evaporate, but depending on those two tags, you can decide when.

A question of my own: if I make an entity, will it cause problems if they can be tamed?
Something like tameable humans, elves or that same idea?

EDIT: Didn't answer your question... A tag along the lines of [SECRETION:material:bodypart] where material is the material you select, and bodypart is where it comes from. For example, [SECRETION:VENOM:TEETH] might cause the creatures teeth to excrete a predefined venom. Theres also a link at the wiki, under "creature token" or "syndrome".

Hey guys;

I've started a fort with lots of gold and lead. Would it be possible to start making lead/gold bolts? Or should I gen new world with some raws changed?

[Pyro627]

Cross-posting this here:

I've historically done poorly in adventure mode, and in order to make things interesting, I want to play as a Dragon. I've tried going into the creature raws and adding [ADVENTURE_TIER:4] and [INDIV_CONTROLLABLE] in order to do this, but it doesn't seem to work; when I start adventure mode I only get options for dwarves, humans, and elves.

This is my first ever attempt at modding, so does anyone have any idea what I'm doing wrong?

Anyone able to help?

[Putnam]

You're putting entity tokens into a creature.

[Pyro627]

Yeah, someone else was able to help me with the issue.

Also, I'm frankly astonished at the flexibility of these raws. Normally, when I miss an important line break, the code just crashes.

I have a question that searched didn't find an answer for.

Is it possible to have a civilization to have it's embark sites be underground?

As far as i understand embark sites cannot be underground, you will however be able to set civs live like cave creatures (snake men and such )

It's not working because you're making the reagents wrong. You confused identifiers and materials.

To expand on what Putnam is saying, you have to change the lines

Code: [Select]

[REAGENT:WOOD:1:NONE:NONE:NONE]
[REAGENT:STONE:1:NONE:NONE:NONE]
[REAGENT:METAL:1:NONE:NONE:NONE]
to something like this:

Code: [Select]

[REAGENT:WOOD:1:WOOD:NONE:NONE:NONE]
[REAGENT:STONE:1:BOULDER:NONE:NONE:NONE]
[REAGENT:METAL:150:BAR:NONE:INORGANIC:NONE] (bars have 150 "parts" to them, so 150 quantity is equal to one bar)
This is because of the way reagent tag works.  It's defined as [REAGENT:<identifier>:<amount>:<item type>:<item subtype>:<material type>:<material subtype>]
The item and material tags are what define what item(s) are accepted by the reaction.  The identifier is simply a tag so that other tags can interact with it.

For example, these two interactions work exactly the same

I managed to fix the wooden one, though thank you very much for the other two. Working on Gun-pick and Gun-axe...actually:

1. Is it possible to combine the axe and the pick into some kind of bladed shovel? (Yo dawg, yeah I know you can only do one at a time but saves embark points. Hell, bonus points if it can shoot.)
2. Can custom quivers be made? I can't find any code here (and in the files) and I have plans on making a civ-exclusive quiver equivalent.
3. How do you edit the 'mountainhomes' speech? Is it possible to give different ones to multiple civs?
4. The civ survives worldgen, the thing is they won't breed as intended though migrants still come. (freshly manufactured from the 'Factoryhomes')
