Wait, first it's last name is Manipulateddeserts and then it suddenly becomes Pumpkinpocks?

Also, the dirigible antelope bugs are hilarious.

Its official.

From Scratch has more problems than the original.

Purge the world with fire.
It must be reborn like the phoenix!

...Totally adding phoenixs...

Would you all be interested in seeing some form of the phoenix added in?
I dont want to add things no one is interested in.

Edit: It wouldnt be generic of course, generic is boring.
I would add a twist.

Even a generic phoenix would be awesome. Regular DF don't have flameybird! So a phoenix with a twist is necessarily more awesome.

I was thinking of combining phoenixs and chinese phoenixs, which are known to give good luck and prosperity.

It has an interaction to raise certain stats of a creature once every _____ years, much in the way that paladins bless people.
Sound cool?

Edit: *Phoenix raises stats. Character punches Phoenixs face. Phoenix melts Character.*

So, here are the additions I am making.

Colossals.
Stonefish.
Dotorians.
Icemen wielding long staffs.
Long staffs.
Centalopes.
Phoenixs.
Fixed Dirigible antelope.
Rat like herbivores that can be sheared for horns.

Have I forgotten anything?

Two things,
One, I cant get psionics to use my long staffs. Balls.


Two, I dont see any of these dirigible antelope problems.
Try the nongithub download guys.

Those seem awesome. My additions will be:

Evil Bread (and associated semimegabeast)
Rolling Abomination (signature megabeast. You might want to make a signature megabeast for yourself, Urdothor. Maybe the Phoenix?)
Flying Screamer ("normal" flying creature, four wings, four stubby arms, four legs and a rotor, plus a screech vocalization with very temporary stunning effect)
Technologically advanced "mad scientist-esque" entity (still needs name. Mechanical plus maniac = mechaniac? That sounds slightly wrong, for some reason)
Fossils of old versions of DFScratch, such as headless Vespulae, along with more fictional new "creatures" (I'm not sure whether to add these. If I do, they will be added alongside paleontologists, who would have a revive and an animate-transform ability if added, and a new building for fossil processing)
70-foot chickens with minor magical abilities (based off of an aside comment in a book)

Also, I'll be downloading your version ASAP Urdothor. I want to see the combat potential of Dirigible Antelopes in action.

I only have a day or two a week where I can get online.


Dirigible antelope (the function ones) are pretty deadly when pissed.

I am making my stone fish milkable for 'liquid stone' to make armor and other crafts.

I would have to give all the entities the custom reactions right?

Need to get in touch with some modders.

So...
I feel the urge to make flaming version of halflings as reference to the original phenomenon.

Dirigible Antelopes vs Panserblekks vs Reaver Ants, anyone?

Liquid stone sounds interesting. Like some kind of natural glue that hardens to rock-like consistency? There's several IRL marine plants and animals that use stuff like that to cement themselves to rocks and whatnot, but the idea of something that makes enough for armor and building materials is pretty cool. You probably would need to give everyone custom reactions, though.

I plan too...

Ugh...
This is gonna take forever.

I have had to make tissue templates, body plans, material template... EVERYTHING... for what is little more than a sea potato.

I actually gave it POTATO as a creature class...
Just incase anyone else makes something similar.


Edit: I FIGURED IT OUT!
All I have to do is make a reaction to turn liquid stone into a 'metal'

I've cleared out two towers as a psionic now and couldn't find any books or slabs in either of them.

Also: there are several non-liquids that look like water. Some plants have letters for their icon, and some animals (notably halflings) have symbols for their icon.

Did the legends say they would be there?

And your point? We are secretly all plants.
