My previous test fortress was overrun by supermutants, and I thought about weakening supermutants... Now I think that I will keep supermutants as strong as they are and allow you to buy these guys for nice money for fortress defense.

Here's a log from arena, I am a supermutant in full combat armor:

[Deon]

I've got a bit more free time while I was at work, so here's the 0.4.

- Separated robots into different creatures, adjusted their biomes and frequency.
- Some robots now have a plasma gun (mr. Gutsy, securitron).
- Added vocalizations to robots. Quotes from Fallout games.
- Eyebots have a very high observation skill, they should spot hiding enemies quickly.
- Removed some unsuitable fantasy subterranean creatures and a few other vanilla creatures.
- Added new creatures: chthonian, Leng spider, gargantuan pteradon, mudman.
- Silver is no longer used for weapons (still usable for bullets though).

[Putnam]

Ooh.

[Deon]

I think I forgot one thing: a reaction to turn compact peat into fuel. Other than that, I forgot to add that I've added Goethite (bog iron) and different swamp soils. It's a minor issue with the compact peat, you wouldn't even notice it if I didn't mention.

Here's a nicer way to do that warning message thing than with SOUND tokens, adapted from something that Igfig showed me.

Spoiler: spoilered for length (click to show/hide)

Code: (put in to interaction_wasteland.txt or something similar) [Select]

[INTERACTION:DRAMATIC_EVENT]
[I_SOURCE:CREATURE_ACTION]
[I_TARGET:A:CREATURE]
[IT_LOCATION:CONTEXT_CREATURE]
[I_EFFECT:ADD_SYNDROME]
[IE_TARGET:A]
[IE_IMMEDIATE]
[SYNDROME]

Code: (put in securitron entry) [Select]

[CDI:ADV_NAME:Recognize threat]
[CDI:USAGE_HINT:ATTACK]
[CDI:TARGET:A:LINE_OF_SIGHT]
[CDI:TARGET_RANGE:A:20]

[CDI:VERBAL_SPEECH:securitron.txt]
[CDI:MAX_TARGET_NUMBER:A:1]
[CDI:WAIT_PERIOD:20000]
[CDI:FREE_ACTION]

Code: (put in to securitron.txt in data/speech) [Select]

Now activating security protocols.
Hostile detected.
(etc...)

Also, have you added any weird plants to the good biomes? Now that aligned plants and ingested syndromes work, there should be some opportunities for fun.

[JediaKyrol]

Alright, I've separated robots in different creatures (sorry JediaKyrol if you wanted to keep them as a creature able to reproduce itself, with "mobile factory" etc, but I have a different vision).

No hard feelings...whatever fits your design is best.  Also, your way allows for different models of each robot with different equipment without making one big cluttered mess...like I had.

Oh man...I had just sent you weaponized robots...and you had already done it yourself.  I'll try and get some cyberdogs ready for you soon though...Hey, Idea!  Repurposing the mobile factory as a "rogue Auto-doc" that wanders around with a modified necromancer spell that converts dogs into cyberdogs and wastelanders into lobotomites!  I'll try that now.

[TomiTapio]

I guess I gotta give this mod a try.

*rolls adventurer*
finds lair, tries to enter it from travel map, crash.
"Duplicate Object: inorganic PEAT
Duplicate Object: creature synthcrab"

*looks at ghouls' child-production*... hmm a typo in their year 1 size.
Not much wildlife coming to bother adv as he treks across the waste... guess bogeymen are disabled, as is proper.

Here's the save with the bad lair: it was one of the top four civs, and ask for a pile of quests, then head west-west. http://dl.dropbox.com/u/8967397/badlair_region1.rar

Hmm, might want to add a stunning thingi for it to use. You know, on the "patiants".

[Deon]

I think that making a lobotomite/cyberdog is a lenthy process, so a creature turning somone into one instantly is a bit strange.

But I definitely want to make a megabeast "rogue autodoc" which grabs closest creatures and turns them into man-machine hybrids... Something like turning creatures into husks in Mass Effect, just less advanced.

[Deon]

Probably some semimegabeast problem, do you have that world? If you do, send it to me so I could check who lives in that lair... Or could you maybe check it through legends or legend viewer?

P.S. God damn it, PEAT. I will release a fix soon, could you please check that lair?

[Deon]

Version 0.5

- Fixes for duplicate errors (thank you Tomitapio, that's what happens when I do last second adjustments before uploading the new version).
- New kiln reactions, read below.
- You can turn compact peat (new stone type, appears in swamp/peat soil) into coke.
- You can cremate bodyparts and vermin remains in kiln.

Well you have only two semimega here in the raws.
Deathclaws should be faster than a human.
How about ghouls having kids very slowly, like 50 years till sexual maturity instead of 12.
Not sure about the [BODYGLOSS:PAW:CLAW_HAND], is PAW the correct bodypart term? I think deathclaws have feet, not paws.

Also I'd change many of the PET tags to PET_EXOTIC as that DM issue has been resolved.

Needs some tuning methinks. nuke the wildlife numbers to be smaller, esp. yetis, ravens, mr handys.

EditN: robot creature sizes.. [BODY_SIZE:0:35000] I'd prefer 0:0:35000, stick to the known format. Every creature in the robots txt.

[Deon]

Yep, I will change that body_size format for sure, thank you.

I think that crash in a lair could come either from these body sizes or duplicate raws which I fixed, but I will test it.

About ghouls: I don't want adventurers to see almost any ghoul children (they don't procreate normally), so I've decided to give them short maturation period to avoid many children. And I want to have more ghouls than wastelanders. Although it may be not a very good solution.

P.S. Wastelanders don't live in hostile radiated environments, they live in more or less recovered biomes, and 378 dogs for 1500 people seems fine. Almost everyone wants a dog . Robobrains are too much, I will work on that.

[Deon]

ver. 0.6

- Fixed size declaration for robots.
- Megabeasts got NOPAIN.
- Added a furniture workshop.
- A reaction to make iron beds (furniture workshop).
- Reactions to turn wooden beds/coffers/cabinets back into logs (furniture workshop).
- A reaction to empty those unusable buckets filled with water laying around (furniture workshop).

[JediaKyrol]

so yeah...a securitron's plasma bolt...if it happens to miss and land on the edge of the map...doesn't evaporate.  Had five of them sitting there, then some genius decided to "clean" it.  Did I mention that stuff is really...really hot?  Hilarity ensued.
