I no longer feel quite as bad.
Now I just feel bad for my creations...
Ones insides shouldnt melt.

[Urdothor]

I'm considering looking at the instrument mod to see how they can be played.

Would be a cool idea.

[Urdothor]

I guess its time to start deciding what creatures can and cant climb since it appears that will be decided by a new tag.

[WillowLuman]

Smaller cephalopods will climb. I'm not sure about the larger ones. Probably not.

[Urdothor]

I'm just saying, but climbing ANYTHING on this mod is going to be terrifying

[Dwarf4Explosives]

I might just abandon the ridiculous speed of the Screamers (so as to nerf that down to halfling or worse) and give them great climbing ability; it should help balance them a bit. Makes some sense, because, while they're pterosaur-inspired, the small ones were better at tree-climbing.

Should halflings be capable of climbing? Or elves, for that matter?

[StLeibowitz]

If it has hands, I think it climbing should be a given. Insects except for water striders and pack beetles should be able to scale walls, as well.

[Dwarf4Explosives]

Really? Some creatures are great at climbing, while others just don't have the right limb build for it. Larger pterosaurs were great at galloping, reaching impressive speeds (quite a few were land predators, rather than aerial ones) and pathetic at climbing, yet their ancestors were great at climbing, but quite slow on flat terrain.

What about bears? Or dragons? Those have hands or [GRASP]-ing appendages, but seem far too heavy for normal climbing.

What typesof multi-tile trees this game will have is another thing we should think about. I think a tree, with outer branches made of permanently ice-cold material, with an inner part so hot that it can set stuff on fire, would be interesting, but we'll have to wait for the release before we can see how the new trees work.

[Urdothor]

Sonethings without graspers should be able to climb too. Like slugs

Sure, some creatures are better than others at climbing, but the ability should probably be there if it has hands - not any generic [GRASP] part, but an actual hand, like elves or halflings or formics. Exceptions can be made for handed critters that have...questionable anatomies, but it works as a rule of thumb.

Also, on bears climbing:

Stranger things have happened

Depending on the size of the dragon, I could see them climbing as well. Or depending on the size of the tree, really - who's to say a great lizard wouldn't roost in an eighty-feet-in-diameter, branches-thicker-around-than-a-grain-silo wood behemoth?

Eugh, slugs...they should climb too, yeah. I kinda wish I'd made my [IMMOLATE] giant fire-slug now.

[Urdothor]

Dirigible antelope should definitely not climb.
Or the golden elephant thingies...

Hooves and elephant feet.

[WillowLuman]

Dirigible antelope don't need to climb, though, they can float.

[Urdothor]

Until they cant float anymore.

Actually, I very humerously caused the drowning of one in adventure mode.

[Urdothor]

Quick question.
In adventure mode how often do you all see water creatures?

[Urdothor]

I'm wondering if I can make instruments produce some kinda of syndrome or something that improves peoples happiness or etc.
Or kills them.
Either way.

Edit: Nope.
