I've been casually playing my bug-fixed version with a Formic fortress, and I have noticed a couple of strange things that I feel I should report. First, a very large portion of my population "absolutely detests treelords." Is there any reason why these creatures are disliked more than other creatures. Second, a Troll merchant caravan recently arrived, and immediately after it appeared on the map three of the trolls became opposed to life, drove off the sane trolls, and proceeded to attack the Treelord merchants and hunting animals nearby. I believe that it is safe to assume that this is not intentional.

[Halfling]

The other trolls fleeing part is not

There's a small fixed chance any troll is murderously insane. The leading cause of troll deaths is other trolls after all.

[StLeibowitz]

You have a good, right-thinking hive there, Gnorm. The minions of the walking trees deserve no sympathy.

[vyznev]

I think the only hateable creatures we currently have are treelords, wisps of rage and two species of mosquitoes.  So, assuming the dislikes are assigned randomly, about 25% of your fortress should hate treelords on average.

(There are also two hateable species of fly in creature_disease_insects_STL.txt, but the OBJECT tag in that file is commented out, effectively disabling them.)

Never got an answer to this:

Hey, (if I do so) would it be alright for me to utilize some content of this as a basis for the full revamp of my dragonic civilization mod that I am thinking about doing?

[Halfling]

Kopout, please take the full two, unless Xieg or vyznev object. Or do people feel this is unfair?

Zanzetkuken, I personally don't mind, but it might be polite to ask the person whose content you wold be borrowing individually.

Well, since I am basically only going to be using yours, as far as I can tell...

I finally managed to read up on this thread a bit and I must say It's one of the most amusing things I have seen in some time. It's like watching a train wreck, but the train has chicken legs instead of wheels and instead of rolling off a track it's been flung into the sky which has inexplicably become a giant custard pie.

It is GLORIOUS and DWARFY and I have no idea how you people are making it not collapse in on itself.

Then go right ahead. Credit if you feel it's due.

I have no objections.

Why thank you, I'm honoured to be quoted on such a fine topic!

[kopout]

Good news, I figured out why everyone's naked! Their pants have been melting off. I'll have to fix that.

That's excellent, I suppose.

[kopout]

Well, It had been bugging me. Turns out I didn't convert properly from Kelvin to Urist, so nylon was melting just below body temp and then getting cleaned up.

Does anyone know what the units of tensile strength and shear yield are?

[Putnam]

Iron:

[COMPRESSIVE_STRAIN_AT_YIELD:319] bulk modulus 170 GPa
[TENSILE_STRAIN_AT_YIELD:73] young's modulus 211 GPa
[SHEAR_STRAIN_AT_YIELD:189] shear modulus 82 GPa

Copper:

[COMPRESSIVE_STRAIN_AT_YIELD:175] 140
[TENSILE_STRAIN_AT_YIELD:58] 120
[SHEAR_STRAIN_AT_YIELD:145] 48

Yeah, the units are GPa, in some way. Not sure what Toady's doing with them.
