Better dwarves through botany
« on: July 19, 2012, 02:58:19 pm »
I was wondering if anyone else had modded plants to have desirable results?

Black Iris essence causes eyes to rot out. Since it's also a contact poison, you can throw it in adventure mode and can blind enemies.

Numb Rock liquor makes your dwarves, what else? numb. Great for adventurers and companions, just a little splash and BAM! No more passing out from a scratch!

Sounds delicious, but what you really need is a syndrome that causes all their fat to rot off. Then sell it to the humans [/isfunnyjokeaboutsociety]

Hmm, what about a plant that makes them grow a whole pile of targetable, but useless body parts?

someone said earlier if the fat melts off on a creature they can't move, so you would be selling then a extremely potent neurotoxin to them. it be funny if their next siege showed up and just fell to the floor paralyzed.

"Games come and go, and we all get tired of some games after time, but Dwarf Fortress seems to grab me by the leg every couple months and drags me back with it's bloody, ASCII claw. I think this game has given me Stockholm syndrome, but I love it so, and it's simplistic style yet extremely complex mechanics are like fine art, like a beautifully crafted ☼Cave Spider Silk Sock☼" - Dirk 3/31/2014

Feel free to check out my Rise of the Mushroom Kingdom mod for ideas - I played a lot with power-up vegetation.  Plants that turn creatures into giants, lets them throw fireballs, gives them the ability to make enemies dizzy, transform them into things, or simply give a temporary boost to one or more stats.  They generally work by eating them rather than contact (this also limits the number of powerups you can have at a time).

Anyone else find it odd that the first two ideas for "plants with beneficial effects" both involve syndromes from before they could be non-malignant?

I made one that when brewed into booze, gives a permanent strength, toughness, and agility boost.
