Is cave floater syndrome supposed to be survivable? Because I just had an Earth Pony survive exposure. It's been over a month now.

Granted, she is "absolutely inexhaustible, unbelievably strong and incredibly tough", and she did walk away with every single bone in her body broken and her teeth blistered. But still. Survivable.

If you manage to get the crap off of them quickly enough, AND if you have a good surgeon, AND if your pony has good stats in either toughness, healing or disease resistance, it is possible to survive the floater syndrome.

Other than that, no, it's not.  And your pony never will get over the blisters without the "miracle cure" of sending them out on an expedition.  They'll be crippled for life.

She just kind of walked around with the sap still on her for about a week. And my medical crew is entirely composed of lazy morons who refuse to operate.

So, I just found something interesting.  One of my ponies had a metalcrafting mood and became legendary, which is cool.  I also had a ton of gold on my map, and the caravan liaison told me that they would pay top dollar for toys, so I told him to make gold toys and ignored him for a while.  However... he started making memory orbs, batteries, hologems and so on.

I'm guessing that those are really rare to be crafted normally, but since your metalcrafter was legendary he ended up producing them anyway. Or something.

I don't think it's because he's legendary.  I think that the various special salvage toys are linked to the toy pool to craft.  He also just made a gold Pinkie Pie statuette.

That shouldn't happen, side they only make the toys that their civ has.

Yes I know that, but I'm pretty sure that there are certain types of craft that only show up on high level dwarves in vanilla DF, so I'm guessing that the salvage items are just those cranked up to a massive limit.

[Thirtyeight]

That is actually pretty cool. I can see a master craftsman being able to replicate certain pieces of old world tech, but things like statuettes does not make any sense from a lore perspective. I wonder how Lycaeon will want to handle this?

[Khenal]

There's probably something that can be done to remove them from the crafting pool while still making them able to be scavenged.  At least I hope so, heh.  It's a rather strange bug, in that it's not something that I think can be actually abused to a real profit.  Rather, you can't aim it.  If you tell them to make toys, they make normal toys (boats, toy hammers, etc) or the special stuff, and there doesn't appear to be a way to make them make specific toys.  I just wish power talismans were toys instead of tools, heh.

The important question is do they work? If yes, then the reactions need to be changed to only accept the right materials. If not, then your craftspony is making toys that pretend to be valuable, so you can sell those forgeries to caravans or give them to children to play with.

[Wurgel]

they seemed to work. Memory-orbs are processed and green glas spell-hologems allow at least the study-order.

green glas unprocessed Steel Ranger memory orb -> (toy-Memory Orb) Steel Ranger memory orb (operational) + ranged + unarmed

[Maklak]

Hm, this is a reflection of the problem where we get artefact items from this mod. In and of itself this is not a problem, because artefacts can't be used for reactions, even ones with [PRESERVE_REAGENT], but I think the mooded ponies can only make such artefacts because they qualify as crafts.

I think the thing required to prevent us from just setting crafts on repeat and getting all kinds of useful things is to change all the reactions to require specific materials, but that's a lot of work. 

EDIT: While fiddling with my plants script again, I found that there is a bug in [PLANT:BERRY_SUN]. It has [REACTION_CLASS:PONY_POSH_LIVE_BOOZE] instead of [REACTION_CLASS:PONY_LIVE_BOOZE], which makes it unable to produce biofuel. While this is convenient in-cruch (we get to keep our most expensive drinks), it doesn't make sense in-fluff.

[Wilde Card]

I was actually going to post about this myself when I came online, but it seems that someone beat me to it.
I decided to set my squad to off duty so I gave my commander a few stone toy crafting jobs, he didn't have any experience at all and the first toy he made was a Talon memory orb, I have a few marble hologems as well but I don't have the workshops for them yet.

[Wurgel]

I... I... I don't even... WHAT?!?!

[Khenal]

I... I... I don't even... WHAT?!?!

Well, that's interesting.  Does she lay eggs?
