Well, it shows up now for some reason, but wouldn't fight. 

Maybe the modded attack has something to do with it:
[CREATURE_VARIATION:MANTIS_SHRIMP_PINCER_ATTACK]

Wonder why the 2kg aquatic fish doesn't want to run around the arena fighting. Try a 40kph speed instead of 1 kph, see if it moves in the arena after that. There are a few tags you can try to make it more aggressive.

maybe try amphibious, so it can breathe air and water. also LARGE_PREDATOR.

It wouldn't attack still, though a pigeon will attack an elephant... I'll try changing the attack and increasing the size.

Hello, can anyone help me? I would like to edit the eagles in my game so they can be trained for hunting and war, like dogs and some other animals can be. But im not sure what I really need to change. Im currently looking at raw / objects / creature_birds file and the other Text Document files like it but im not sure if changing them will actually change the game nor am I sure where too even find where the information for eagles even are. so being the noob I am can anybody help me out?

[BlackFlyme]

raw/objects is the main raws, and will not affect your save. You want data/save/regionX/raw/object

Just give it [TRAINABLE]

Awesome thanks, now I just need to figure out where they are then. (edit: found em!)

How strong would you say is strong enough for a semi-megabeast? Right now what I've got is a six-legged creature that's reasonably powerful (able to hold off about eight or nine unarmed, untrained dwarf-replacements before going down), but which is gimped too easily. For some reason, almost all attacks to the thing's legs, no matter how weak, break them near-instantly. This renders it still modestly powerful - it helps that it can still "ram" using its entire body and knock enemies like fifteen feet away - but still too easily defeated for something of its size.

Does that sound about tough enough to you guys for a semi-MB, or should it be made stronger?

[Adragis]

Right, is it possible to give a creature a natural projectile attack? Is it like 'glob-of-acid-spitting' things with different object classes?

[BlackFlyme]

It is possible, and there are a few different types, which are listed here on the wiki.

You would use the material emission interaction to create this attack. In-game examples include magma crabs, which spit molten basalt, or giant cave spiders, which spew webs.

Edit: I accidentally a word.

@Plump Helmet: I would say that a semi-megabeast should be strong enough to pose a large threat to an unprepared fort, but should not be so strong that they can easily take on a moderately trained militia. One fairly well trained soldier should be able to go toe-to-toe with them.

My race of automatons is coming into focus now
Thanks :3

Is there any way to force a civilization to use stone weapons?

[Adragis]

Don't give them the ability to make/use any other weaponry?

[Sver]

No, it doesn't work this way. I can assume that this is impossible, because the game doesn't fully support the actual existence of stone weapons. Well, there's another way to get what I want though.

Hi all,

The wiki claims that vermin pets get carried around by their owners, but I haven't seen that actually happen.  I can tell it hasn't happened, because these little guys move a lot slower than dwarves.

Has this behavior changed?  It is possible the wiki was wrong to begin with, or that pet carrying is unreliable.  I'd like to know for sure before I decide on the implementation details for this critter.

I've also noted that domesticated vermin appear on the embark screen in the items list rather than the animals list, using the creature name rather the caste name.  Once embarked, they can be adopted as pets but never get named.

Anyone knows what determines the entity to have "civil wars" (group vs. group conflicts)?

[Akhier the Dragon hearted]

What is the value range for MAX_POP_NUMBER, MAX_SITE_POP_NUMBER, and MAX_STARTING_CIV_NUMBER?
