...if the interior bit of a wormy has a syndrome fluid inside like the steam in the Masterwork "automatons", that creates 2 wormies as a reaction to being let out, you could certainly have fun with exponential wormie progressions that may be fun until you get FPS death.

Holy shit, that'd be awesome. Doubt it's possible, but I'm still new at this stuff, especially interactions (copy-pasted the vampire reactions from these raws to my own personal raws and somehow broke it irreparably while tweaking).

You guys should probably open my raws and search for a creature and some interactions with the word "soggoth" in them. Because I do have self-replicating, exponentially-growing monsters. :)

Well the whole point of my "Claymen" was that they were self-replicating.
I was using the "werewolf necromancer" effect with them though.

Basic idea: Clayman1 gets his easily-popped-off arm popped off, Clayman1 necros Clayman1's severed arm, Clayman1's severed arm regenerates creating Clayman2 etc.

Indeed, I do this.

So I embarked on a desert to test the sandstorms. Is the ground supposed to be made of fine sand? Also, apple trees in the desert.

Apple trees are set to be everywhere because they were the only wood in existence at the time. Ground should be fine or red sand, yes.

I don't know if the weather works, though. The interactions are tied to specific biomes, and I believe that happens during world-gen, and I don't know if there's a way to convince the game to accept the sandstorm as a viable target.

I'm going to mod my tarnish stalks so you can get fuel from them, when I get time.

The world's first kerosine-like biofuel...  Call it Moonshine maybe. (Or tarnish remover)

Actually, I was planning on having you be able to run it through a screw press or processed at a farmer's workshop to produce "Tarnish Tobacco" which you could then burn into fuel at some other building using a Halfling smoking pipe, so they finally have a use.

Make the reaction produce a boulder that evaporates, to give the smoke a syndrome too! That way every single form or part of the Tarnish Stalk will be toxic in some capacity. Have it bruise the inhaler's lungs or something and make them cough blood - there's no way in hell burning something like that would be harmless.

Generally, when one is conducting an experiment, it is worth noting that the observers went insane, killed each other, and then rose from the dead.
It's like DF inhaled a peanut.

Right, death weed.

Though halflings smoke all kinds of crazy stuff so maybe have them be immune to Tarnish Smoke (and smoke based syndromes in general). Everyone else can die from it.

I'll give the syndrome the class-immune tag as SMOKER

And yes, it'll be super toxic.

So, it can hurt you if you eat it, it can hurt you if you brew it and drink it, and it can really kill you if you smoke it. Congratulations, you made the worlds most killtastic plant.

Not yet, there's another plant I want to make when I'm done with the tarnish stalks.
