He hasn't.

You could simulate it in-game with a "clone" reaction that has a very long cool down, but even that won't be simulated during world generation.

Hrm, just as I feared. Well, off to make a suggestion thread about it, this is a rather striking omission--

wait, won't be done during world generation? Then how do currently non-reproducing creatures (cave floaters, floating guts, things like that) populate the world without eventually dying off like mega and forgotten beasts?

They spawn in large numbers and aren't hunted down and killed except very rarely by hunters during world generation. Assuming you had an extremely long world gen all of these creatures would go extinct, but for the most part they survive due to the fact that the only things that really get killed during world generation are important creatures and very rarely a random one by a hunter.

[Glitch(TMG)]

So, given enough time they will die off like mega and forgotten beasts.

Damn. That's even worse than I thought. A striking omission indeed.

Is there any usage hint I could give to an interaction that temporarily transforms the user into an amphibious creature that will cause them to use it if they fall in the water?

Maybe you could use that IN_WATER LOCATION_HINT, but I'm not sure if that would work.

[Furtuka]

In the period of a syndrome, how big of a number would encompass about 1 turn of action for the average adventurer?

Also can a interaction have multiple usage hints?

[i2amroy]

1 time unit = 1 tick, and the average dwarf takes one step about every 10-11 ticks.

[Putnam]

1. I have tried fruitlessly to figure that out. Adventure mode time be whack, yo.
2. Yep.

[i2amroy]

1. I have tried fruitlessly to figure that out. Adventure mode time be whack, yo.

Adventure mode syndromes last 1/72th the duration of fort syndromes due to the fact that 1 tick = about 1 second in adventure mode and 1 tick = 72 seconds in fort mode.

[Putnam]

Except they don't. That's the issue. I have a syndrome that lasts 100 ticks or so. In dwarf mode, this translates to (naturally) about a second's worth of a huge speed burst, enough to travel ~30-40 tiles. In adventurer mode, it usually lasts until fast travel.

Well the fact that it raises speed naturally messes up how the ticks work.

[Putnam]

Yeah, but it shouldn't mess it up that badly.

[Stirk]

Yeah, but it shouldn't mess it up that badly.

Well how much did you raise it?

[Putnam]

It should only last about 50 turns at most, is what I'm saying; instead, it tends to last over 100.

I meant to ask how high you raised the stat.
