If you aren't sure, give them an interaction that turns them into an identical creature with the immobile tag.  The megabeast will turn up on the edge of the map and plunk down some roots. 

Not sure what you intended for offensive capabilities, but the transformation could also add some drop-off limbs like we were discussing in the other thread, and the creature could animate those.  The whole thing could cycle by wearing off periodically, and if the transformation interaction was ready to go when the beast transformed back it probably wouldn't even take a step.

My hunch, though, is that IMMOBILE isn't checked for by the megabeast code.

[Meph]

Yeah, that was the plan. I want a "spawner", a big hunk of useless megabeast that spawns little critters at you. Kill it quick or be overrun. Your idea, so I dont need to explain it

EDIT: Another questions. I have two creatures that use solid glob ranged attacks, made from copper and slade. The problem is that dwarves always run out and try to clean the globs lying on the ground, resulting in them running to the enemy and many job cancelation spams.

Anyone has an idea what causes this, and how I can fix it ?

[Old Greg]

If you make clones of the two materials that will vaporize at room temperature, that'll solve the problem of the globs that miss and just lie around. If they're cleaning up the attacks that have "hit" though and leave those broken arrow tiles, I think you're out of luck :/

[Meph]

If they vaporize they would never hit a target... and yes, they are like the broken arrow thingies. Some reports I got even mentioned that they are collected in stored in a food stockpile (?)

Very random this is...

[Fishybang]

Im trying to make elves playable, but when i start they show up in the domestic page. Is there a way to fix this?

Edit, Never mind i got it the elves had the pet tag on them.

[Destroid]

Is it possible to have other sorts of secret creature enter your fort than vampires?  For example a hidden necromancer or perhaps a shapeshifter, or any other sort of creature that may cause mischief but is not a vampire (but has a secret, and will commit crimes).

[Meph]

Yes it is. Check the thread about the Masterwork Mod for pentagram painting dwarves or necromancers in disguise. I had 7 of these secrets, but did trim it down to 4 in this release.

I'm making a hostile civ with a flying caste, but I'm not sure if I should include it.  I know that invaders on flying mounts have pathfinding issues, but does that happen if the invaders themselves fly?

I have yet another wuestion.. If I would liek to add a new kind of metal, what raws should I edit?
And yet again, how do I change a mineral's frequency?

1. The inorganic raws.

2.

The 100 number in the vein refers to how often it shows up; I'm not sure if it's possible to increase it past 100. You could always just decrease mineral scarcity.


Is there still a problem with fortress mode creatures being unable to use foreign ammo?

Then what should I change to make them appear in certain types of stone and soil?

Thank you.

Cheers Meph, I'll check those out!



I managed to get all my creatures working (from an earlier post here), in one case it was a biome issue, but in the others I was able to get them working by changing them from [LARGE_PREDATOR] into [LARGE_ROAMING].  I don't understand why this change allowed them to spawn in the world - the only creatures in my mod that seem to be allowed to spawn as large predators are the genestealer (who is disabled at the moment) and the wild grox - both are size 300k+.  But I checked the standard raws and many smaller creatures are large predators so I've no idea what is causing my issue.  It's worked around for now, but I do like to have as many tools to control creature behaviour as possible.

To make sure I have done stuff right..
