After much thought, I have finally decided to request a modding turn. I am not the best modder, but I'll spend the time between now and my turn trying to improve.

[sackhead]

sorry people i have to cancel my play turn i am prety busy

[WillowLuman]

Damn who shall try out the cephalopods and bugfixes?

[Halfling]

My study currently includes > 40 week-hours service + studying at nights. It was somewhat unexpected. I will try to maintain this.

Gnorm, welcome you are added to the first page. If you want to, you can start making and suggesting things now... and hopefully by following this thread for some time you can already learn a lot.

The play turn should really go in such a way that whoever posts a detailed report of some duration is featured. If there are multiple reports then I'll expand my table to feature them all. I should fix the rules to state that but the exact wording escapes me.

Anyone, please give it a go. Zanz - how's the next modding update looking?


Edit - attempted to rewrite first post but I'm so tired I can't feel my brain right now. Tell me if it's bad or incorrect.

[laularukyrumo]

If you're unable to maintain the OP, we could hand it off to someone else and start a new thread. Good excuse for integrating bugfixes throughout the various turns and making sure everything fits.

Also I'll rock the play turn if Sackhead can't do it. Point me to the latest hellscape and I'll start this madness.

[WillowLuman]

Slightly less of a hellscape after my passive creature additions and population rebalances. How much less remains to be seen.

[Zanzetkuken The Great]

Anyone, please give it a go. Zanz - how's the next modding update looking?

Wasn't able to create the wandering spirit creature, which is what was going to have the Aerisium multiplier.  Still need to get a couple things worked out of the errorlog.  I'll need to get it done tomorrow.  I should actually be asleep right now...

I am able to maintain if once per day updates are enough. And seriously now, the latter should be done regardless of what's in the first post, and by the modder/bugfixer in turn, not by someone who had an excuse.

That said, I would have no objection if someone wants to take over the thread after 100 pages. It might be kind of communal and emphasize it is not my mod, it is our mod. Preferably it should be kind of like a vote or consensus, and someone who took a successful modding turn already, so they have perspective into what it's about and what kind of rules there should be and why, I should think, if they'll maintain those. But I have no problem keeping a few updates going either...

You'll find the latest hellscape in the first post as usual!

When this is fixed, I can upload.  It is the only thing wrong with a single creature, and I would rather not lose it to just this one thing.  I can't get rid of the core, it is the only thing you can hit on the creature, since the Ether_ZTG is gaseous, and Ether_2_ZTG is solid.

Edit: removed the core and shifted the layer to 'ETHER'.  Error still persists.

oh, and anyone think this would work for a plant?

Thinking about possibly adding a caffeinated syndrome to it, so its a bit more like tea. Also want to make a reaction to dry the tea leaves before they can be brewed, I will get that worked on, maybe wait til my turn rolls in to put it out. I didn't test it yet, I just threw it together real fast. If anyone wants to try it, go ahead, but I plan on doing so tonight.
EDIT:fixed a little raw error

[Aseaheru]

Nice. I dident do the leaves because I am lazy and scared of screwing up.
perhaps there are other sorts of tea, more rare, that take longer to make but are worth more...

That is because you do not define a tissue called AETHER_2 and instead define a material called AETHER_2 twice. Correct code:

Also calling it both "aether" and "ether" when defining stuff is just asking for trouble.

Upload fixed version and to the first page it goes if it works.

[Zanzetkuken The Great]

Well, now with that fixed (thank you, Halfling), here's the error free updated file.

What I Added:
All those dragon variants.
Lizardfolk, large bipedal lizards, as a playable civilization.  This civilization has the child snatcher tags, so all civilizations are hostile to them.  (Manual will come later.)
Dragonkin, the bipedal draco-morphed lizardfolk.  Currently needs an item snatching civilization.  I give a later modder freedom to create this civilization.
Wandering spirits that are only vulnerable to Aerisium (needs testing).  You don't really need to worry about them, though.  All they can do is emit a small cloud of ether occasionally.

[Halfling]

Great! Newest version is in the first post. Go ahead and grab it, everyone

Crustypeanut, ready to go?

[StLeibowitz]

All they can do is emit a small cloud of ether occasionally.

This ether? Because I could foresee that being...annoying.
