The dewbeetle dew is definitely not brewable. Hmm. You can eat it though, so.

to fix this i believe all you need to change is in reaction_other.txt, in the [REACTION:MAKE_MEAD] section, replace HONEY_BEE with NONE

[Meph]

Correct.

The mod does include a new reaction_other.txt, which has the corrected reaction in it.

This is awesome, moleweasels are awesome as well.

If toady one ever gives dwarf in forts the ability to have mountable animals I shall have war turtles thanks to this.

This should be on the first page, carry on.

Dewbeetles have nymphs?

[INSERT RANT ABOUT COLEOPTERA BIOLOGY]

I guess you wanted to avoid cocoon stage.


Anyway, I also play with Modest Mod, and it accelerator module.
I modified the creature definition file to make the creatures drop generic meat pieces on butcher like everything else in AcceleratedModest.
Also I merged it with the creature_domestic file, which both mods overwrite.

If anyone wants it, I uploaded the edited files:

Oh wow, this thread is still active.  Hi everybody!

If I wasn't so busy IRL I would get down to releasing a new updated version, but special thanks to everyone who has been working this into the new version of DF!

Dewbeetles have nymphs?

[INSERT RANT ABOUT COLEOPTERA BIOLOGY]

I guess you wanted to avoid cocoon stage.

You caught me    It's mainly a nomenclature thing, as Dewbeetles are envisioned to be like a giant aphid.  So more Hemiptera than Coleoptera, though wingless.  It would be likely they are not primitively wingless, but rather developed as a secondary wingless Pentatomoidean from some other basal hemimetabolic hexapod.  However, the compound name of "Dewbeetle" was more phonetically appealing to me than "Dewbug".

... I have like fourteen wikipedia tabs open right now.

Will we be seeing this updated to 0.42.xx? I miss my dewbeetles and leatherwings.

Is there any reason the old version is not working? I didn't think there were any changes that would effect this mod.

Looking at the descriptions on the first page (but without looking at the raws, so take this with a grain of salt), the only update this mod should require is removing the parchment material from the horned caveturtle.

Confirmed. Getting a few errors on hair color, but that's it. Removed the offending colors, and all is well. For the recording, I have not been using the DDD reactions in Dark Ages.

[Bihlbo]

One of my favorite mods. Anyone have updates that work with the newest version?

[Meph]

Yes, I have them in the new Masterwork mod.

[Thuellai]

Any chance you could post the updated raws on their lonesome?  My internet is satellite, with a data cap, so 150 MB for Masterwork represents a pretty significant bandwidth investment.

Hi, this mod's been on my radar for a while but i haven't really found the time to try it until recently when i dove into the Mephs Masterwork pack. I wouldn't have bumped this thread without a good reason after the three year gap between the last post, so to pose a question to the OP: How's the health of this mod post functions like [ANIMAL] entity tags and recent changes?

I have a helpful suggestion in that i know from my own modding (from my past modding attempts) that [PET_EXOTIC] and [ANIMAL] entity tags interact in such a way that animals can be imported while still being pet_exotic to be exclusive with no public taming knoweldge, making the use of [PET] and [COMMON_DOMESTIC] redundant or promote a particular creature in a civ without biomes or risk of being stolen by folks like elves. (By way of using [ANIMAL_ALWAYS_PRESENT] to insinuate implicit common domestic without interacting with entity tags looking for common-domestics)

Its just me, but i was irked by the masterwork's mod making these creatures *widely availible*, and considered changing it in its raws but stopped because it might have broken the laucher. It didn't seem considerate that these powerful creatures weren't a tightly held dwarf/underground dweller secret you'd have to spend overblown prices for and keep dwarf relations sweetened to get.

Also also to address with another question: since most of these creatures are 'better' as you might say than conventional farm animals will we ever see a sequel-mod or continuation of development?

Creatures are really well put together I will say.

DBDB (Dwarven Bred Domestic Beasts) is not quite a direct continuation, but it is a spiritual successor to this mod that is still up-to-date. I recommend you check it out.

[Wannabehero]

Like an old lover, DF keeps coming back to me (or I to it).

I've recently dived back into Dwarf Fortress with a vengeance, and have been working to familiarize myself with all the changes since I last played (there have a been a ton, its been years).

I have a half dozen new and partially completed mod ideas that have been occupying my limited free time since interest rekindled; I hope to get to a state where I can share them. Oh, and a 24px sprite set that I started work on like 4 years ago...

But DDD has a special place in my heart. Seeing this pop up, I think I need to dig out the old spreadsheets and RAW's and update a maintained version.  Maybe brainstorm and add in a few more creatures too as an expansion...

Also, I checked out DBDB and it looks brilliant! Very nice designs and lovely sprites.
