That looks about right.
Just a bit too much halfling.

I've been working on creatures, when suddenly I realize there's a way to make creatures that breed more realistically. (Preferably you first make a second copy of the creature to allow for more variation between creatures, but it should also work between castes). First  you give the females of the species [CREATURE_CLASS:insertspeciesnamehere_FEMALE]. Then give the male a CAN_DO_INTERACTION which causes a specific extra (untargetable) body part to fall off creatures with [CREATURE_CLASS:insertspeciesnamehere_FEMALE] and transform into a new creature. Using the regeneration time of the body part, the N in [VASCULAR:N] of the body parts tissue and how long the creature has to wait before it can use the CANDOINTERACTION again allows you to regulate the time between breeding and how stressful the birth of the new creature is on it's mother.

Feel free to use however you want. In other news, I've been working on a small four-legged, four-armed creature with four pairs of wings. I really need to know in which file this is located though:

I can't find this anywhere.

Except there is no "Regeneration time" for body parts. To grow them back, you need to transform the entire creature then turn them back.

Speech files are located in the speech folder, which is stored in the data folder.

Well...
Couldnt get anything downloaded like I planned...
Unreliable wifi location.
Should be able to get it done once school starts up again.
I really wanna start!
I have everything written out already too...

Edit: So I am trying to replicate the effects of stomach acid on skin... Necrosis and blistering sound about right?

I must have confused concerning the way tissue regeneration works. Oh well, most of the idea still works.

Thanks for the help!

EDIT: As the Evil Bread are supposed to reanimate/transform into bread only after a while and without help from other members of their species, would using a second, stationary creature (that appears upon the death of the Evil Bread) to apply the appropriate interaction work?

[WillowLuman]

With "Healing rate" on all tissues, a body part can eventually regrow them, but if the body part is chopped off, the only way to get it back is with transformation.

So, I'm considering adding long staffs in once I get around to it.
Wood only staffs can only do so much damage of course, but they make them with metal caps on the end.
Is it possible to have a weapon with two materials?
Such as, if you were to hit them with the end of the staff it would be metal but if you hit them with the middle of the staff it be wood?
Probably asking for a bit too much...

Multi-material items aren't possible at the moment.

Wooden weapons are possible if you mark the weapon as a training weapon in its raws, or by creating a custom reaction. But training weapons can only be made of wood, so if you want metal staves as well they will have to be a separate weapon.

Stone weapons are also possible. By marking the weapon with the [CAN_STONE] tag you will be able to make a stone weapon with one weapon-type stone and one piece of wood in the craftsman's workshop. Unlike training weapons, weapons marked with [CAN_STONE] can be still be made of metal as well. In vanilla, the only weapon that can be made of stone is the short sword, and the only stone that can be used to make a weapon is obsidian.

[Urdothor]

I assumed it wasnt possible...

Bah!!!
Full metal staffs aren't realistic...
But close enough.
Just gonna have to fudge the attack values for any attacks using the 'wooden' part of the metal staff

Edit: Plain wood staffs CAN do quite a bit of damage on their own...
Hm... Must research this a bit more.

[Urdothor]

I did a litte testing and found some bugs.

There are several instances of nothing in Arena mode. All have black eyes and spikes, as evidenced by the combat logs. I have yet to see any in world gen.

Three quarter of all trolls encounter were blind.

I genned several small worlds with medium civs that contained no formics or halfling civs... ever.

Rygics are a little over powered.
Their venom paralysises, caused pain and severe bleeding came from their attacks.
One alone killed a tree queen.
Halfings fully armored faced similar fates.

Otherwise, things seem fine with it, besides cutting off their wrists and ankles, and not their hands and feet.

[WillowLuman]

Rygics?

[Urdothor]

New addition by Kopout.

Well, to put their badassery in perspective, I'm going to unleash creatures with fifteen bp's with [GRASP]. It's my signature megabeast, and it's magma-proof, relatively fast, and I may decide to make it capable of opening doors.

And their prey, the flying screamer, is the fastest creature in the game, trainable (and has [ADOPTS_OWNER], so feel free to scream in rage as you experience screamsplosion), flying, similarly magma-proof, amphibious and fast to breed. They'll be excellent for use in magma-traps once I'm done with them.

I'm thinking of adding a new NPC race, that features machines that can deploy troops. Any objections?

[WillowLuman]

As long as you don't make this super-powered pet [COMMON_DOMESTIC]. Also, it should be noted that all megabeasts can already open doors; by knocking them down.
