While everything in the raws of this (these) world(s) is custom, we leave DF's actual code untouched. So yeah, a different material than basalt would be required, but we do have good and evil biomes. Also, we have cage traps and some ridiculously powerful trainable and non-trainable monsters, so it probably doesn't need to be nerfed, although the firing rate might be a bit high. What is the firing rate of Halfling rockthrowing?

[PDF urist master]

This is something I like to call the suicidal reindeer. The goal is that when it flees, it shoots a ray of fire at itself, destroying everything around it. it's not fire immune and will die from the encounter. It's incredibly valuable, with a pet value of 20000 and material value on par with vanilla dragons, but when it flees, the fire it creates destroys its corpse.

[WillowLuman]

Golems as wild animals just seems kind of... weird. Also, there's already a society that centers around building golems, so perhaps it could be an Earth Elemental instead or something?

[PDF urist master]

I envisioned it as a megabeast similar to the bronze colossus. plus in vanilla there are inorganic humanoids like the gabbro man, iron man, magma man, amethyst man, etc. 

also what is this society called?

[WillowLuman]

It's either the clockwork necromancer people or one of the underground ones, I think.

If it's a megabeast or semimegabeast, then that's fine I suppose. I don't think we have a single semimegabeast.

[PDF urist master]

since there's no semi megabeasts, I've decided to make one. This is the scarecrow. it's not big, but it generates a nasty fear toxin that causes delayed heart attacks (or what is simulated as a heart attack) haven't noticed bugs yet, but it would really be nice if someone could help me find any bugs i didn't notice, along with earlier creatures.

[WillowLuman]

Looks like it's using the standard DF material and tissue templates, unfortunately. When you install this mod, make sure to use a fresh copy of DF and to delete all the vanilla raws first, so that you don't use any of them by accident.

[CaptainMcClellan]

Fish template done. Potatoes and vodka nearly done. Library will take forever. Semi-megabeast Capricorns that can madly attack on land and sea are added but not actually functional/finished. Several sea creatures planned, two mythological creatures added. ( They don't exist except in the minds and nightmares of sentient creatures. ) Solar forge not done, Solar children not done. Plants not done. Two new spiders added in name. Working out creature variations to have a fertility Syndrome and a corresponding herb that causes it. Also, a super-rare Golden herb that increases max age. ( In most cases. )

[PDF urist master]

how did you program it to increase max age?

[CaptainMcClellan]

Creature variation: Remove tag and Creature variation: Add tag. And I haven't yet. Currently both syndromes are just copy-paste of the drunkenness syndrome. In some creatures with ridiculously long maxages, it'll actually shorten their life span, but my current method is to use halflings' max age +70 or so.

[WillowLuman]

Well, you could give the plant several similar but slightly modified syndromes, each designed to only infect certain creatures, thus allowing it to lengthen everyone's life.

[CaptainMcClellan]

Well, you could give the plant several similar but slightly modified syndromes, each designed to only infect certain creatures, thus allowing it to lengthen everyone's life.

That's a pretty good idea actually! Thanks Hugo. However, I probably will only have it infect entity races if that's the case. Meaning that each subsequent race addition will have to be set to be affected by it.

[Lord_lemonpie]

Because I'm too lazy to mod in several similar creatures, I decided to make a basic creature and just add castes that are the different "Species". All of the creatures are vermin shellfish that can only be found in caves. (caves in DFscratch still have water in it, right?)


These are the castes I've currently added. Does anyone have ideas for more castes? Also, to what creature classes should I add them?

No idea for castes, but there are a number of creature classes that may apply. Aquatic and vermin seem the most obvious, but feel free to create your own, if needed.
