And the [SELECT_MATERIAL:ALL] at the end would include the leather for the subsequently applied magmaproofing.

If someone suggests "team Vampire", I'm throwing you into a volcano.
Same with "team Werebeast"

[Eric Blank]

Well, then I guess us werecapybaras will just have to take over the world all on our own...

[WillowLuman]

Take hundreds of prisoners, wash them in evil mist maybe?

[Orange Wizard]

Dragonscale socks. I want. So bad.

[WillowLuman]

So, tannable dragons, it's a mod so simple and inconsequential it doesn't really count as a mod.

[SilverDragon]

Agreed!

What I mean is, still in favor of leaving the game vanilla (no genesis/whatever other major mods. We'd have to delay the game while those new versions got updated/tested, and we'd have to test our own major mod if we made one before we could even start), but I'm saying something like tannable dragons doesn't exactly count as modding the game.

[Eric Blank]

Well, it DOES, but it takes about 30 seconds to accomplish. If you've got lightning-powered fingers, I guess.

[mocman]

you guys even modding in dragon socks would effect world gen causing massive changes

[Eric Blank]

Well, it would mean that anybody with access to dragon leather could have spiffy dragon leather clothes. But then again, Toady has not stated that NPC hunters in will seek out megabeasts for their hides during worldgen, so I highly doubt that anybody would either have dragon leather or that you'd have a shortage of dragons.

What COULD have a serious impact is adding the CHILD tag to dragons so that they can breed.

[Orange Wizard]

Yeah, adding a new kind of leather (I'd prefer it to actually be scale, but this may be too moddy) shouldn't change much.
The worst that could happen is the humans sending magmaproof soldiers at their foes.

[WillowLuman]

Dragons can already breed, since egg-layers don't require the [CHILD] tag (GCS lacks both that tag and egg definitions). Megabeasts are tough enough to survive for decades at least, if not centuries, in world gen (There'd be plenty of dragons anyway in a large or medium world) and the [FANCIFUL] tag prevents people in world-gen from trying to use their materials anyway. They also lack any tags that would allow world-gen civs to domesticate them. It's not like dragons are something any puny human farmer can just butcher whenever someone wants socks.

So, it wouldn't give fireproof socks to everyone, but rather only to player-controlled fortresses and adventurers hardcore enough to take down and skin a good-sized dragon. They can already have magma-proof socks if they make them out of adamantine, so in terms of things only gainable via player achievement, it doesn't change balance at all.

[Inarius]

I think dragon socks are not a very major change, and is not of great interest, anyway.

It will be a good thing if, someday, Toady change the leather stuff. But, before that, I think we should let it as it is now.

Really? I thought the wiki said something different.
