For lairs, do I have control of how they are built, and what are stored in them? Also, does having a lair tether a night creature to that world tile, or can they still roam outside of it?

And finally, is there a way of making the same type of creature violent OR non-violent on creation?

I'm fairly certain that they can still raid nearby settlements.

I don't believe that there is a way to determine violent/non-violent currently.

[Sanure]

So im back from my outing, and after looking through my raw dump I couldn't find the old raws, but I did find some duplicates of the current raw I use. Maybe this caused it?

[Meph]

A creature can be made violent with CRAZED  (fights all) or OPPOSED_TO_LIFE (fights everything that does not have: NOT_LIVING) Other then that I cant think of anything.

So you could make one creature normal, then make a copy, and add the crazed/opposed to life tag to it.

Alter this size of a creature could a
APP_MOD_RATE that never ends, make the creature never stop growing? Imagin a creature that can grow even after it reached it's final bodysize.

EDIT:
Also did some science, Any LIMB bodypart connected to a UPPERBODY can be used to wrestle with. Found that out with my clawbugs using their back legs to grapple attackers (1 part body)

[Meph]

What would cause DF to crash if you change the tileset ? Just the .png. It has the same 256*256 pixels, looks similar, and the title screen is ok. But as soon as I create a world or try to embark the game crashes to desktop. If I put the old png. back all is good. I dont even change the init for this, but use two pngs. with the same name. Any ideas ?

[Hugo_The_Dwarf]

Different sizes?

[Trapezohedron]

Wasn't there a way to create objects in workshops away from the tile you operate it from?

I would like to be able to produce a boiling stone that could polymorph creatures into megabeast-type demons or something.

[Meph]

Yes, you can set the worklocation outside of the actual workshop, and/or add seveal worklocations.

[Hugo_The_Dwarf]

Does IMMOBILE prevent breeding?

[Putnam]

Spores. It shouldn't.

[Trapezohedron]

Yes, you can set the worklocation outside of the actual workshop, and/or add seveal worklocations.

Now, time to figure out how to do this...

The WORK_LOCATION can be set outside the DIM. It's pretty much that simple.

It's been over a year, hell that cats have given birth three times already.

metal that melts/boils at room temp. Use the search bar for "Doomium" I think, it has DOOM in it. I used to have a link to that topic, also try "explodium"
