I wasn't. I'm only adding things.

[Urdothor]

Just making sure.

[CaptainMcClellan]

I understand. You'll be happy to know I read the rules. Besides I'm not hyper-confident in my modding skills, so it's best to not mess with things that already work.

[Urdothor]

On this mod the word 'work' seems to have a loose definition which means it only spontaneously combusts 9-10% of the time.

Edit: That isnt meant as an insult. I find the bugs quite amusing.

[CaptainMcClellan]

XD Yeah, but you know what I mean.

[Dwarf4Explosives]

Mostly what "working" means here is not lacking heads or other body parts, with an option on using the correct materials. Need I remind you of the story for this mod, what with the flaming halflings, the poor Vespulae and the molten glass?

[WillowLuman]

Also, remember that no vanilla raws whatsoever get used. If you make something, use the material and tissue templates from the mod, not the vanilla ones.

[Dwarf4Explosives]

Plans for once I get my hard drive and the RAWs I have stored there back:

• Setting up the basic paleontology stuff, with a basis similar to vampires, along with a fossil-cleaning building and the appropriate materials.
• Finally finishing the Mechaniacs and coming up with a better name for them.
• Adding the 70-foot Chicken of Death.

Optional stuff, to be decided on by your votes.

• Nerfing the Rolling Abominations till they're semimegabeast status, then adding a gigantic Jormundragr dragon, with ridiculous body size, a heck of a lot of limbs and other body parts, along with material emission of a multi-effect syndrome-based poison. Truly massive wings, with large sections having major arteries allow for it to be killed. Y/N?
• Giving the paleontologists a necromancy interaction. Y/N?
• Adding the titles of our god characters as fanciful, non-existent creatures. Y/N?
• Should I change the name of the Mechaniacs, and, if so, what to?

EDIT: Platypus-porpoise creatures anyone? Plorpoyse(i for the plural form) would be my suggested name, although I'm partial to just calling them Polyps and waiting to hear the stories of people not checking what it actually is. Also, I have an idea for a creature with it's legs on the inside of a ring-like structure, using the two parts of the claws each of it's three legs possess one of for it's STANCE, and I need a name for it. Any ideas?

EDIT2: Another idea, birds that look like rocks. Outer layer is guano, as other birds often confuse them for, well...rocks. The guano carries a 2% chance for a mild temporary nausea syndrome, 98% chance for harmlessness. Both syndrome "paths" end within less than a day. Seem reasonable?

[CaptainMcClellan]

For the guano-rock-bird, remove the guano I think. Maybe add guano as an emission effect? Projectile crapping? XD Could be fun. And don't give the paleontologists a necromancy by default, me thinks. Perhaps having a relic artifact that has the same effect as a slab or necromancer's book

[Dwarf4Explosives]

What I intended was just to make a tissue layer out of guano for the bird.

About the necromancy+paleontology: Indiana Jones style expeditions for necromancy artifacts would be fun. Quest for the Carbon Nanotube Tyrannosaur Jaw, anyone?

[CaptainMcClellan]

Yeah, I know. I'm sorry, a creature made of guano just makes me squick a little too hard. I could handle it if it were like weaponized guano. Or if it was something that only happened to a small percentage, but a few thousand guano birds is too much.

Yeah! Let me get my Legendary +1 Lasher ready!

[Dwarf4Explosives]

Made of guano and coated in guano are different, but I get that it's squicky and kind of generally disturbing; I think so myself, which is why I thought of adding the nausea syndrome. Maybe I could create variations, like 1 out of every 12 birds are guano-specked, and another 1 out of 12 is guano-coated.

[CaptainMcClellan]

That sounds better. Maybe 1-in-20 are covered and the 1-in-12 is specked. It shouldn't be an equal ratio like that.

[Dwarf4Explosives]

Yeah, that makes more sense. So, ratios for normal:specked:covered will now be 102:10:5, set that way by using castes.

[WillowLuman]

Well, we've got a few terrestrial birds, bird-whales, bird-seals, bird-turtles (both small and large).

The birds that look like rocks sound like they'd be involved with trolls somehow.
