It's a tissue layer, placed over skin in the BDP

The Health screen shows that the shell layer is broken when an attack gets through, but it isn't shown in the combat reports.

Purely a display issue.

[WillowLuman]

And now I'm wondering if there's a way to fix the display issue.

[Hugo_The_Dwarf]

yeah that's just the combat log oddity, it just "assumes" that if a deeper tissue is getting damaged the upper layers are cut/broken aswell (as per Putnams explanation).

If you really want it to say (the X attacks Y in the shell breaking it a jamming the shell into the arm tearing the muscle) you're gonna have to do some voodoo magic with having an external skeleton with all the normal part internal to this Shell exoskeleton then have the BDP wrap them around each part.

[WillowLuman]

Yeah, not worth it I guess

[Putnam]

I've had it happen, but it's all due to bugs.

An aesthetic question, how many reactions do you try to limit your custom buildings to?

[Putnam]

2,147,483,647

2 pages full, depending on your screen resolution. Players can see all hotkeys on the first page instantly, and only need to press UP once to go to the last entry on page 2, allowing them to see the rest of the hotkeys. This allows faster and easier use.

Of course thats utopian for many workshops. For example I just changed the clay oven, it now has 70 reactions. I also include a reaction that needs no reagents and uses the name "======SKILL (skillname)=====" as a title to help players with more information ingame.

A question of my own: After a creature used a hide-interaction on itself, it is invisible. Thats nice. But it also sneaks all the time, slowing it down a lot. And hiding has no end-timer, its just a on-switch. My question is: How can I un-hide a creature, to allow it to go back to normal speed? (I have the problem that 1/4 of my kobolds can hide easily, and therefore 1/4 of the camps workforce is slowly creeping along at a fraction of their normal speed)

I thought someone mentioned that if you use a projectile interaction they come out of hiding (say shoot a glob at self)

[Meph]

So either make all dwarves legendary hunters, or self-inflicted wounds?

I assume a material emission of a harmless gas would also work. So giving the hide-interaction a CE_CAN_DO_INTERACTION with a waiting time should fix it. Lets say 5000ticks, thats enough time to get away, and suddenly the creature attacks itself with a material_emission using "cloud of magical nonsense" in a vapor-breath attack.

Thanks hugo, I'll try something like that, see if it works.

[Hugo_The_Dwarf]

well if they shoot themselves they actually just shoot the ground under them (impossible to harm yourself) unless you want a flashy puff of smoke

I know when a GCS shoots it's webs I'm quite sure it leaves sneak mode.

[Meph]

Ok. Will be added to all hide-effects then.

[catvanbrian]

I'm a complete fail at modding (because my legs hurt every time I type stuff and that's why I don't type that much) I want a living golden spider robot with, a core for a heart (that is why it is living) it's blood will be molten iron, and it has a gun that shoots masterwork dwarf fortress bullets on it's back

[Putnam]

You'll have to deal with glob bullets

(also I might not be making this any time soon if at all so don't get your hopes up too much)
