Pretty tempted to mod in a normal size human that has a size 99999999999 right arm and    [RELSIZE:BY_CATEGORY:MUSCLE:9999999999999]

A man that can one-punch anything to the moon!

He won't exactly have a large arm--just a man-sized arm. It's a RELSIZE, not a SIZE, meaning that the size is relative to all other parts.

Basically, if your guy is 70000, then his parts will all add up to 70000. The RELSIZE changes how large each part is relative to the others, like so:

X1+X2+X3...=Y. There are Z number of Xz, and Z is equal to the number of parts the creature has. Y is the total size determined by the [BODY_SIZE:Y] token. Xz's amount is determined by the relsize. If you have 4 parts on a creature of size 100000, all the parts having a relsize of 200, each part will be 25000. If they're all 5, they'll still be all 25000. If three are 1 and the fourth is 999999999, then the first three will each be ~0.0001 size and the fourth will be ~99999.999.

Still, that's a mean punch.

Oddly enough, the chance of actually hitting the creature there would be very low due to the whole issue of the heart being inside the upper body, which happens to be smaller than the heart.

And this is why Dwarf Fortress doesn't have 3D graphics.

Wouldn't the upper body's relsize remain unchanged?

Yes, but the fact that the heart's relsize is larger would make the upper body smaller. Relsizes are a ratio, not a set amount.

But the heart would be smaller too, so the heart would be smaller than the chect.

I am on my way to making something insanely tough that I may enter, but I must get the interactions and whatnot to work properly before I can.  Right now my creature is **almost** not killable by itself, with my last two matches taking upwards of 10 minutes each.

Probably no reason other than it giving them a larger B-peen.

Yes, and if your entry loses, feel free to make a new one.  Or even mod the winner to be stronger.  This is a contest of modded creatures, not of the modders themselves.

The problem here is that if I were to include the creature I want to include, it would require no less than six dependency files.

body, b_detail_plan, material_template, tissue_template, interaction, item_tool (for the drop)



It's worth noting that this creature is size 150000.


I shall join in with a relatively weak megabeast.
Meet Shinryu, a superboss from the Final Fantasy series. :P





This is the "nerfed" version.  The original creature was gamebreaking.  I still use it for testing, sometimes.  For the record, it DOES die, but it takes a group and/or a lucky projectile and it usually takes more than one down with it.  It drops something that makes it all worthwhile.

Size isn't everything, you know.  ;)

Haha, if there's one thing that always made me go WTF at LFR, it's how hard the enemies are to kill despite their size.
