Arachnorbs will probably be difficult until Toady finally gets around to size differences mattering in combat (which I'm happy for for this mod and dreading for my mods )

[Spiderking50]

It's going to be incredibly helpful for this mod because pikmin have such a tendancy to attack feet and they really don't in the DF version, but I've been compensating for that so its all balanced. No matter how i figure it out, its going to rough and rickety.

I just wanted to double check, are these interactions set up in the proper order? I checked out the wiki and they appear correct, but the wiki was very vague on how its actually supposed to look:

[CE_SPEED_CHANGE:SPEED_PERC:50:START:1:PEAK:300:END:1200]
[CE_SKILL_ROLL_ADJUST:150:PERC_ON:100]

Nectar and both spicy sprays are in as drinks. Pikmin are going to be no eat creatures who are alcohol nectar dependent. I was going to have them be no eat, but then having pellet posies would be purposeless... So probably going to eat something at least for now... yeah that sounds good.

[Putnam]

You need a START and a PROB on every syndrome, but that's your only problem, really. You don't need a PEAK or an END. If you want them to speed up, SPEED_PERC needs to be above 100.

[Spiderking50]

It was for slowing down, not speeding up. Now those look better. Thanks Putnam Bitterwort berries (both spicy and bitter), nectar weed, and pellet posy's are all in.

Loving it

Hmm, pellet posies could be useful still, even with [NO_EAT] and [NO_DRINK]. Im not sure if the nectar dependencie is a good thing or a bad thing. Is it possible to make it just heal a pikmin up to good health or something? (Arm gets loped off, drink nectar and it speeds up recovery?) Or maybe you could even combine both of those. Idk, but your doing great! ^_^

[Spiderking50]

Making them nectar dependent works well with the biology of the pikmin game because nectar causes pikmin to flower (increasing speed) and alcohol dependent creatures lose speed if they don't have alcohol. So basically not having nectar would cause them to be leaf pikmin (which have lower speed) thus no alcohol nectar means no flowers which means lower speeds, which the game causes through the alcohol dependency tag.

You could give them a syndrome that transforms them into flower Pikmin, which are faster and stronger, when they ingest nectar.  That would make it interesting, and function a little closer to the game, I think.

Mini-Update: Mamutas are now completely done. They now transform pikmin into immobile pikmin seeds for a good duration. It took me a while to get a few problems with the transformation smoothed out, but its all good now.

The only problem is they will slow down to the point where it's ridiculous.

I'd love to see how you handle some of the more... Out there beasts, like Gatling Groinks, Toady Bloysters, and the like.

[Spiderking50]

It is going to be difficult to design them, because i want the mod to be as close to pikmin as possible (so no creative liberties, or huge stretches with how the game will go), so its going to take a good amount of creature/tissue modding, plus a healthy dose of interactions.

[Spiderking50]

Work began on the snavian family, but nothing really completely finished. The work goes on. There are 100+ enemies in pikmin and I have about 30 some at this point (I think) plus pikmin and some plants and products with those plants. There is so much than can be done with the pikmin theme, I just need to go through all of it.

doing great!
