Are you trying to make is a gas? If so you can try adding SYN_INHALED to the syndrome.

It will spread as a gas - but do you think making it a liquid is better for contact poisons?

Gasses don't seem to actually touch anything. Unfortunately, solids melting into liquids just turn into puddles.

Might have to make the bomb a liquid then, which is well weird.

I have a question.

Can I somehow create hiveable-vermin in a reaction? I know that vermin can be created, and I think I can even put them into animal traps, but I think I remember that the beekeeper would be too stupid to use them.

Should work like this:
 - Buy bees
 - Get bee-item or live bee vermin in animal trap/container
 - Set up hive
 - Have beekeeper plant the bees into the hive.

Does anyone know how the times in syndromes compare in-game? Can someone at least tell me what a day is in syndrome-time?

EDIT: Nevermind. There are 1200 ticks in a fort mode day.

When modding in civilizations is there anything I need to look out for and any tips/tricks to avoid commonly made problems?

Entity_xxyyzz.txt only sticks during world generation. Get ready to make a new pocket world every time you make some changes.

Oh, and with nobles? Hold off on APPOINTED_BY:MONARCH. It does weird shit when it's attached to anyone other than lesser rulers and liaisons.

Question:

When using coins in a reaction, is it possible to just specify a value needed, instead of a specific type of coin. For example, can I just say you need to pay 10,000 dwarf bucks instead having three reactions for X gold coins, Y silver coins, Z copper coins? (I'm pretty sure the answer is no, but in case I forgot about something I figured I would ask)

No.

That's good to know, that might've screwed up a lot of ideas I had..

I can make Entity_X files for each new civilization and it'll load them from the folder right? or is there somewhere I need to call them at?

[scamtank]

Sure you can and sure it will. However, they must have the file's name at the very tippy-top as an identifier hook and the appropriate [OBJECT:token] before any of the civilization gobbledygook.

Look at the start of entity_default.txt to see what I mean.

e: Oh! And the game is pretty strict about filenames. The entity files MUST be named entity underscore stuff dot txt.

I love you, you just made organizing things a thousand times easier.

Where would I call the Entity junk? Over in the Creature file I assume?

[scamtank]

Are you mixing something up? Entities (civilizations) have creatures assigned to them, not the other way around.

It's the other way around... the entity calls the creature.

You can put more than one creature in an entity, but it doesn't do what you'd expect.  Each time the entity is instantiated as a civilization, it uses one of the creatures available to that entity.  The whole civ will be a single creature type (not counting babysnatching).  An example is how certain Animal Men are handled in vanilla.

[Shadowclaimer]

Ah, gotcha yea was getting it backwards for some reason.

Interesting how the animal men work, so is it not possible to do integrated civilizations with multiple races present at once without babysnatchers?
