[BABYSNATCHER]

I see.  Will they send sieges only with the following RAWS, or will I also see early snatchers/ambushes?

   [PROGRESS_TRIGGER_POPULATION:0]
   [PROGRESS_TRIGGER_PRODUCTION:0]
   [PROGRESS_TRIGGER_TRADE:0]
   [PROGRESS_TRIGGER_POP_SIEGE:4]
   [PROGRESS_TRIGGER_PROD_SIEGE:0]
   [PROGRESS_TRIGGER_TRADE_SIEGE:3]

[smakemupagus]

Goblins have "red line" because they are [BABYSNATCHER].  All [BABYSNATCHER] civs will be red line hostile with all non-babysnatchers and vice versa.

Some entities seem to be hostile because their creatures lack [CAN_SPEAK].  Keeping in mind that [INTELLIGENT] also implies CAN_SPEAK.  It seems entities without CAN_SPEAK will be red line hostile always to both non-babysnatcher and babysnatcher forts.

Other than that, you have to play with entity ETHICS to produce -WAR-, not red line, which is not so reliable.  i.e. even if civs hate each other they won't war constantly.

sorta-edit after seeing your follow up question

They'll send babysnatchers.  Other types of behavior are controlled by AMBUSHER, SIEGER, and SKULKING tags.  Lack of all gives normal berzerker goblin style assaults at closest open doors, with timing determined by progress triggers

Doing some experimentation with crafting in adventure mode... I've successfully transmuted one item type into another, but weapons are a little harder... This has been my first game-crashing experiment. I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong here, any insight?

Code: [Select]

[REACTION:FLETCHINGAVE]
[NAME:Fletch 10 arrows]
[REGEANT:A:150:BAR:NO_SUBTYPE:METAL:NONE]
[PRODUCT:100:10:ITEM_AMMO_ARROWS:NONE:GET_MATERIAL_FROM_REAGENT:A:NONE][FORCE_EDGE]
[SKILL:BOWYER]
[ADVENTURE_MODE_ENABLED]
The recipe, viewed in game, states that it requires no items, so it isn't asking for metal bars. Do I have to define them one at a time for each metal type?

[Putnam]

You spelled REAGENT wrong.

[smakemupagus]

You're missing an "AMMO" token


[PRODUCT:100:10:AMMO:ITEM_AMMO_ARROWS:NONE:GET_MATERIAL_FROM_REAGENT:A:NONE]

[Avelon]

You spelled REAGENT wrong.

*facepalm*

You know what's strange though?

Code: [Select]

[REACTION:CHEATINBAR]
[NAME:Cheat bar into existence]
[REGEANT:A:1:NONE:NONE:NONE:NONE]
[PRODUCT:100:8:BAR:NO_SUBTYPE:METAL:BRONZE][PRODUCT_DIMENSION:150]
[ADVENTURE_MODE_ENABLED]
This works! I'm guessing it's because it doesn't actually require anything or inherit anything from the line of code that is essentially defunct. Would this function WITHOUT the "regeant" (*laughing at self*) line?

After I corrected the typo, it correctly identified the requirement; however, it says 150 required (and this gives bars with a value of 150 as you can see), and after selecting 1 bar it says '0 remaining' (of the requirement) and does not create the item. Instead I have the option to cancel or select another bar - if I select another bar, it crashes.

Gonna experiment with requiring a tool for a second reAgent.

[smakemupagus]

Yes, but it would have worked differently if you had spelled it properly: it would have required one of anything, not none of anything.

[Avelon]

Yes, but it would have worked differently if you had spelled it properly: it would have required one of anything, not none of anything.

Yep, I see this now. I gave up my dagger to create the bars, and with the spelling correction and the addition of AMMO to the product line, it now eats 2 bars and produces 20 arrows.

Not quite what I'm looking for, so I'll need to add in a tool for a second step as I suspected, I think.

EDIT: Okay, if I have a tool for the second step it DOES call for that, DOES NOT consume the second bar, but I DO have to select a second bar and it will not work unless I have 2 bars. Increasing the value of the bars my little 'cheat into existence' reaction makes does not influence this (151 = "-1 left [consumed]". Decreasing their value to 75 (leaving 0 left after 2) requires I select a third bar.

Is this simply a problem with bars?

im having problems with a set of reactions. i tried posting this earlier but it didnt work. all i know is the workshop i modded in is fine, but these reactions seam broken

Describe what is wrong with it. Is it not showing up? Not using reagents?

[smakemupagus]

im having problems with a set of reactions. i tried posting this earlier but it didnt work. all i know is the workshop i modded in is fine, but these reactions seam broken

Reagents look like this
[REAGENT:<name>:<quantity>:<item token>:<material token>]

Your reagents are missing <name> and <quantity> tokens.  (so it is parsing the stuff you do have there in a way that doesn't make any sense.)


Here are some working vendor reactions

sorry, it pops up in the workshop, but when i tell someone to do it, they walk over, then go back to the meeting room. another question i have, if i say COIN as reagent, will it use a entire stack?

[smakemupagus]

They will bring a whole stack. 

Unless you include the tag [DOES_NOT_DETERMINE_PRODUCT_AMOUNT], if the stack is a multiple of the reagent <quantity> you will get proportionally more product too. 

[Stirk]

sorry, it pops up in the workshop, but when i tell someone to do it, they walk over, then go back to the meeting room. another question i have, if i say COIN as reagent, will it use a entire stack?

That means that both the REAGENT and PRODUCT are off. The guy above you just covered the REAGENT, and no, you have to put a number down (I think typical stacks are 500, but I don't make coins much myself).

I see what is wrong with this too, you have

Code: [Select]

[PRODUCT:95:1:WEAPON:ITEM_WEAPON_RIFLE:IRON]
You are missing the end, it should be more like

Code: [Select]

Put INORGANIC before the IRON. And the way you have it, it will only make a gun 95% of the time.

[WillowLuman]

So, are there any easy ways to have a particular species of megabeast survive world gen more reliably?  Can you just up the size to funny levels?  What do worldgen combats even consider?

I don't want them to dominate in turn, however.  If I can do this by just turning down the titan number in advanced worldgen or something, that works too.

What else is in your modded world? In vanilla, megabeasts seem to remain undefeated for long periods of time, though sometimes people get lucky. If you added guns or any offensive interactions it may have tipped the balance.

It's actually a modified version of the old My Little Fortress mod, so there are a lot of changes.  I added in this new megabeast, but while a fair number of them are spawned during worldgen they seem to get killed off by year 100 pretty consistently.  Titans seem to do fairly well.  Broze colossi and rocs sometimes have 1 or 2 survive worldgen.  Dragons seem to be the only thing that survive consistently, with 5 or more by year 250 or so.

I set the size of this megabeast to 2,000,000, gave them vampire like impact damage resistance of 25% and a fair few natural weapons, but they still seem to die off pretty quickly.

Well there's your problem, they're tiny compared to other megabeasts! For reference, 5,000,000 is the size of an average elephant, and a dragon grows to be up to 25,000,00. Rocs and Colossi weigh in at 20,000,000. Yours is about the size of a great white shark, which, while larger than a man, puts it about roughly equal to one in world-gen fights.
