Does this mean that you found a final solution to the issue, or is it something that requires manual user input and/or reloading the save?

This is the complete solution for any fort. Converted prisoner should behave from now on.

When's the next update going to be released with the fixes?

When's the next update going to be released with the fixes?

Soon. I have debugged special ammo and new weapons. I also fixed a few bad building choices. Now I have to build each new workshop and test the reactions.

I have do deal a bug with the soul system however. I wanted the succubi to get soul from corpses but instead they will use any butchered part: cartilage, bone, hooves... That's not what I had in mind.

[Boltgun]

I finished debugging the reactions for the deep succubi and fixed a lot of bugs for them. Now all that remain are the regular succubi's reactions before I start packaging the update.

Yay for succubi!

Whats unclear about the souls? I thought you wanted to copy the ebo item idea that Roses and me use.

[Boltgun]

At first I did not want to update the vanilla DF raws, so the mod can be used along other mods. But the real issue is that non deep succubi do not butcher sentient creatures and so to get soul from their corpse I have to add another way.

I made reaction that create a soul from a corpse. It does work, but it will also pick any inedible bodypart from the refuse stockpile, like bones, nervous tissue... playing with this will be too much micro management. Plan B involves dfhack and an interaction.

Ie : Build the workshop in the middle of the refuse. Reaction provides an interaction that targets corpses 'fit for resurection'. Interaction uses syndrometrigger to run a script that delete the item at the position and add a soul, non-sentient butchers get their souls.

[Meph]

Interesting. I couldnt find a solution with modding. Ebo items means you need to butcher sentients, while corpse targetting in reactions is broken. It never occured to me to use dfhack.

Maybe I can use this for my dwarves, use your system, mostly to stop them from butchering sentients...

I finished debugging the next version. I still need to add a way to make glass blocks quickly (because the gem crafter shop did not work) and to work on a new way to get the souls from bodies.

Update : I got mass production of glass blocks and windows in. For souls it is getting complicated. I don't want to search through the item list because that will hurt the fps badly, so I am going to resurrect the corpse and transform it into a dummy creature. Then, through dfhack, I have to create and place a soul on its feet before killing it. There is many ways this can fail but I hope to keep the whole process into one tick.

[Meph]

The dummy creature could just use the soul as itemcorpse.

The dummy creature could just use the soul as itemcorpse.

Why didn't I think of this first? Now I only have to add the killswitch.

[Boltgun]

Huge success using itemcorpse. The game instantly resurrect bodies and transform them into summoned soul, then I simply flip the scuttle flag to turn it into items.

But one old problem remains. Interaction based actions does not seem to fire properly unless I immobilize the worker with a transformation. Since transformations heal the unit and the soul conversion is free, I do not want to use this solution. That would be too easy to abuse.

So far, queuing the job twice seem to work. I'll leave it like this for now.

And that completes the development of 6.0. I need to prepare the packaged version (which is longer that it should be) and make sure it works in masterwork.

[Meph]

Thw worker runs away to quickly. He doesnt target the corpses before he is out of range. Queuing it up twice only makes him stay longer, thats why it works.

Try setting the workers speed to 1 or similar tricks to keep him around for 100 ticks or so.

Edit: An afterthought: Might i use this for mdf dwarves? while my soul system does work, it results in dwarves butchering sentients... not intended. The important part would be race specific souls... dead goblins have to give a goblin soul. Otherwise some features dont work.
