That'll make all the dwarven castes immune to fire, though...

Damn, you're right, SELECT_MATERIAL is creature level.
Well, don't do that then. ^^

Well, you could define two types of skin mats, one for the ordinary skinned creatures, the other, absolutely fire immune. Assuming it works the way I think it does, you should be able to target the fireproof skin via SELECT_MATERIAL without affecting the combustible material, though it'd clutter the page.

Huh. Select material can't be used only on castes? That's intriguing. I was aware that this was not the case. I may have to go in and tweak a few things to account for that.

I'm not positive that the wiki is right about this one, if you get a chance to do some !!SCIENCE!! that would be nice

For plants, if the growing time is longer than a season and a plant only gets one active season, do all currently active plants in a farm plot die or does it just not allow planting any more of them? I'm trying to have planting seasons and harvesting seasons.

[smakemupagus]

If the plant cannot grow in the season, it will die.
If the plant can grow but the dwarves just aren't ordered to plant it in the 2nd season, they plants will live and not be replanted after harvest.

[WillowLuman]

So growing seasons seperate from harvest seasons (aside from just pretending like they're there by ordering dwarves) are not possible?

[smakemupagus]

well, if you set the growdur so that it takes about 2 full seasons to grow, but allow it to live in SPR, SUM, AUT ... then you're probably only going to want to plant in SPR, and will be able to harvest in AUT.  It's not just pretend, if you plant in SUM or AUT instead they'd die when winter comes.

[WillowLuman]

Ah, I see. That way, players could be free to make a bad decision, which they must use strategy to avoid XD

[Maklak]

Is there some way to prevent grass wildfires? Magma, or other hot things set the map on fire and I don't want that.

[WillowLuman]

Not sure, but try either:

1)removing grass

or

2)making grass fireproof.

[Meph]

Its only 1), remove grass. Or turn temperature off. Or make it rain. Thats about it.
