I have no clue how to do this, since I can't program for shit, but I'd love to see a conversion of DF to an Alien Hive. If anyone is interested, go for it.

[Putnam]

Fortbent is about aliens in hives :3

[GuesssWho]

Do tell.

[Putnam]

Well, it's about aliens called trolls. They live in hives. It's in my sig.

If it doesn't satisfy you, make your own! It's more copy+paste than anything, and there are a couple tutorials lying around, one on the wiki, the other one is me. (And the rest of the forum, of course )

[GuesssWho]

I mean like the things from Alien. Which would probably be rather difficult, or even impossible.

I mean, you need to add claws and bladed tails and acid blood and converting eggs and a hive queen . . .

[Putnam]

Oh, ALIEN hive. That's totes possible!

[GuesssWho]

Really?

Well, if you ever want to do it I'll give you infinite virtual cookies.

[Putnam]

I mean, some things will have to be abstracted, but yeah, it's possible. I think some have already done it, in fact. Deon's post-apocalypse contains xenomorphs...

I think he means as a playable race.

[Putnam]

I know. I mean to say that someone may have made playable aliens, but I'm not sure, while I AM sure that P-A has xenomorphs.

[GuesssWho]

Cool.

If you ever feel like doing a full mod . . .

If you wanted, I could throw a barebones together. Some more information about what you're looking to get from this might help.

[Helari]

nice to see that there are times when people are willing to cater to ideas guy children with no charge.

[thistleknot]

its usually bad form to make requests for fully blown mods from others. bur in ur case i guess it woked.

[GreatWyrmGold]

This looks like it could be a good idea.

The biggest problem is the "Reproduction" bit.

It's probably possible to have a "Facehugger" creature you can buy as a pet at embark "hug face" an opponent, eventually causing them to transform into a "chestburster" and then a full xenomorph, but the chestburster and xenomorph would still retain their old alliance. Any ideas on how to change that? Would making xenomorphs OPPOSED_TO_LIFE help?
