7. Than is there any way to make it so that you have to cut through multiple layers of "armor" to actually get to the core parts of the creature? (Must break through exoskeleton to get to heart, lungs, vital organs, etc)

7. Yeah, that's how tissue layers work normally.

Is it possible to make breath weapons piercing? Say, I want to make a Gatling-gun type creature that fires bullets at a high enough velocity to punch through shields, or at very least make the breath behave like an arrow.

You can't make it sharp, but you can give the projectile material extremely high density and have it flung at extremely high velocity.

Interesting. How does one modify shooting velocity?

Another question: Anyway to make a fire-like substance that burns the target without spreading beyond the fireball? Sort of like an explosion.

Er, perhaps I should have elaborated (though thanks for the information!): Something akin to fireball that actually causes a 3x3 space of flame to burst out, but the flame dissipates before it burns down an entire section of forest.

What about projectile expansion into something really hot?  Or would that start fires too?  (It does work with breath attacks, right?)

Anyway to make the aforementioned Gatling-gun? And how would you do the:

as an ability?

Is there a limit on the characters (letters) usable by creatures? I tried making a creature with the £ symbol, but it didn't register properly. Is there any way I can work around this?

edit: Nevermind, figured it out. Just had to input the ASCII id number manually.

Hmmm building_custom.txt isn't helping me much here
would this work for a building requirement?

Code: [Select]
[BUILD_ITEM:1:BOULDER:INORGANIC:MELFIRON:NONE]
MELFIRON is the raw name of a custom metal ore
