I've sorted out my next ecosystem via a Wiki Walk: the Late Triassic. There wasn't a central thing for all the fossils from one place, so I just followed what lived alongside the Walking With Dinosaurs Triassic animals and then followed those links until I had them all.

I SHALL GO SEE IF I CAN DO THE SAME FOR MARINE REPTILES

Updated: http://dffd.wimbli.com/file.php?id=8191

Four new templates: MARINE_SAWR, PLESIOSAUR_SAWR, PTEROSAUR_SAWR, PTEROSAUR_TOOTHLESS_SAWR.
Two new creature variations: PYCNOFIBERS_SAWR and DORSAL_FIN_SAWR.

I haven't included all of Eo's new dinosaurs because they're still very buggy, but I've added a few and converted them to the template system.

Also the raptors and compsognathids will now eat the vermin they kill instead of leaving remains all over the place like messy cats.

[Eotyrannus]

Yaaay! Hope they aren't all too messed up.

Would anyone be willing to start a succession game once Indigo has finished the Jurassic parts? I would, but the last two died before I finished the first turn due to my lazy nature.

I'd be willing to, however, i'm uh... Bad at anything more uh..... harder to make than a well. Not good ith pump stacks or anything. Might want someone else to start, hah...

The most complex contraption I ever made was a single pump that took water from the river and filled the trade depot's chamber with it.

All we need to do is start it, so that we have a fort and topic and whatnot, and then we'll attract other players marvelling at the potential chaos and Boatmurderedism that could arise.

I mean, seriously. We've got a five-ton animal that only thinks of murdering dorfs. It's literally going to be Boatmurdered with dinosaurs.

[WillowLuman]

T-Rex probably had some feathers, but not a full body covering. The larger dinosaurs didn't need so much insulation, because their bodies generated enough heat (Gigantothermy) to keep them warm.

[Eotyrannus]

There's a tyrannosauroid, from a similar environment and as large as an Allosaurus, that had feathers 30cms long. Feathers are really useful, because as well as being able to insulate, they can lift up to let air flow while still keeping the sun off of the animal's back. Sort of like a sun hat. It's not a full body covering though, yeah. We know that Tyrannosaurus definitely had a scaly butt and scaly feet, due to skin impressions  found.

I want to try this mod out, and I have one question. Where do I put the raws?

[Eotyrannus]

Dwarf Fortress, raws, objects. Once you're at objects, just copy/paste it all in and it should be modded in.

[darkpaladin109]

i tested it out a bit in the arena. Are T. Rexes supposed to have 3 bite attacks?

[Eotyrannus]

No idea, to be honest.

[Foamybeard]

Eoty, did you get the Drinker I sent you?

[Eotyrannus]

Yup! I'm waiting for Indigo to test it first, though.

[Foamybeard]

Alright, cool. Did you send it to him? LOL
