I read it, every new update. here PTW there now you know I'm reading it every update haha

Most people don't like to post. Take Regen for an example, I just released an Alpha Version for DF 34.10 and noone has posted about it, altho the number of views goes up.

Sometimes I read, and I'm out of Ideas to add. So I don't post anything cause, well what can I post?

That is true...

Hey, has anyone started a succession game with this mod yet?  I may make one, if no one else creates one.  I will wait a while, though.  I am a tad iffy on making one, since I have dial-up internet.

[Eric Blank]

Succession games with big mods usually don't go very far. I doubt that anybody but you would start one, just because they'd be using a mod that not many people would be able to relate to.

I did not know that.  But first, I would need to fix some things.  Such as an animal that will grow in less than a year's time to provide food, and fix the annoying claw bugs that still exist.

[Eric Blank]

You can have an animal be born full sized, just by giving them only one body size token that reads [BODY_SIZE:0:0:(insert size here)]

Yuo could also make it something like;

[BODY_SIZE:0:0:(insert minimum size here)]
[BODY_SIZE:0:150:(insert maximum size here)]

to have them grow up jsut under 6 months (168 days) after birth.

[Zanzetkuken The Great]

So the second tag is months.  Is the one for plump helmets in the raws?

[Eric Blank]

wut? @_@

No, it's (BODY_SIZE|<year>|<day>|<average size>), as taken from Toady's notes in Creature_standard.txt for the dwarf entry.

[Zanzetkuken The Great]

Oh.  I think what messed me up was the 6 months part.

[Eric Blank]

ok then. No idea how you jumped to plump helmets, though.

Also note that the body size tag does not represent the age at which they will reach sexual maturity. That is the [CHILD:x] tag, where x is an integer representing years, with a minimum of 1. So even though your animals will be fully grown at six months, they will still only reach sexual maturity and stop being a child at 1 year in age, which will make it difficult for players to be able to tell whether an animal has been around for 6 months or 2. The CHILD:x tag is also necessary to get them to breed in the first place.

It seems that it is no matter in world gen.  I don't think that the dragons in my mod have that tag.

I asked about plump helmets because I wanted to create different species with the same grow time as plants to provide a food source.

[Eric Blank]

Make them a form of monotreme, maybe a giant echidna of some variety, that lays large eggs in large clutches (5-6), say 10000, and make their body size upon hatching also 10000 or slightly under (because it would be weird for the contents of a container to have identical volume to the container itself, implying that the walls of the egg are infinitely thin.) That should be big enough that they'll provide a few meat at birth. If their adult body size is something like 200000 and they grow to that in about 2 years, but still mature in 1 year, you'd have a good, constant food supply compared to animals like cows and horses that breed slowly.

I had a dream about this mod. I dreamed that you added people with laser swords. Who may or may not have had brown cloaks/robes on. Huh.

Are you suggesting I mod in Jedi and Sith?

Jedi coexisting with Dragons and Dwarves...awesome or just plain wrong? Side note:any of you ever watch Farscape? I'm curious.

*Eyes sparkle* "I'm not the only one that has watched Farscape " yes I have watched it. I got all seasons and the final two movies that finish it up.
I even started watching it again, 1 every night before bed (tonight is episode 4 season 1)

and jedi would be simply "trained" dwarves/humans/goblins (darth maul lol) I don't think slayers or dragons should hae jedis lol that would be weird
