Apparently, creatures that live in caves will in the post-worldgen activity stuff send out people to "reclaim" other caves, or otherwise send out people to "found" new ones(which if visited will have have nothing in them and no-one there).

I first noticed this with my modded race that lives in caves, and it also happens if you mod humans to live in caves.  I have not yet checked if kobolds do this, but I suspect that they do as well.

Make a fake blood tissue layer and remove the [BLOOD] tag from it. you will get weird combat messages but it will bleed and not die.

Isn't the whole point of non-fatal bleeding for the sake of flavorful combat messages?

[WillowLuman]

Do you have to remove eating, sleeping, and drinking to get civilized egg-layers to reproduce successfully?

Do you have to remove eating, sleeping, and drinking to get civilized egg-layers to reproduce successfully?

I don't think so, but it would probably help. I guess you could lock them in the nest-box room.


Has anyone tested if [IMMOBILE] is still valid?

[Spehss _]

The sponge still has [IMMOBILE] in its raws, so I'd think it's still valid.

Hooray I'm helpful!

[Xangi]

Yeah I think I've gotta fix this bone pain nonsense before I do any further modding. Will post fix when it's done.

EDIT:

Here, this seems a lot more fair. I also upped organ pain so that you can't just fight at 100% with two busted lungs and a knife in your gut.

Now if only I could get it to bleed but not die from blood loss it would be complete...

Make a fake blood tissue layer and remove the [BLOOD] tag from it. you will get weird combat messages but it will bleed and not die.

Code: [Select]

[TISSUE:BLOOD]
[TISSUE_NAME:blood:NP]
[TISSUE_MATERIAL:LOCAL_CREATURE_MAT:BLOOD]
[TISSUE_MAT_STATE:LIQUID]
[RELATIVE_THICKNESS:1]
[CONNECTS]
[HEALING_RATE:1]
[TISSUE_SHAPE:LAYER]

[TISSUE_LAYER_UNDER:BY_CATEGORY:ALL:BLOOD] -- this should place the blood under the topmost layer if you use it after the BDP that layers your creature.


I think you suggested this idea to me once before. I find that the combat logs really break my immersion when I do this.

Maybe Toady will be extra kind and in the next update we'll get a [NOBLOODLOSS] token.

When a megabeast attacks a fort, does the announcement that pops up use the content from the [DESCRIPTION: ] tag in the megabeast's raws?

[FallenAngel]

Yes, it does.
In fact, it does that for any non-siege attack - werebeasts in human form will give the human description.

I'm currently trying to create a reaction for magical potions/elixirs. I've got an inorganic material that looks like this:

   [STATE_NAME_ADJ:ALL_SOLID:unicorn horn dust]

         [SYN_INJECTED]
         [CE_ADD_TAG:NO_EAT:NO_DRINK:NO_SLEEP:START:0:END:5]
   [DRINK:LOCAL_PLANT_MAT:DRINK]

How would I go about accessing the drink? Would the following work?

Does that look right? How would I go about making it require water instead of "any liquid"? Is WATER a material?

[Putnam]

What you did there is what you do for a plant, not for an inorganic. You probably want to use material reaction products.

[TheDorf]

Yeah, I looked at a plump helmet for hints So I should just create another inorganic that is permanently in liquid form, and let this be the product of the reaction? And how do I make it only accept water?

[Putnam]

Yeah, use the plump helmet raw for hints on that, like this:

Code: [Select]

   [INORGANIC:DRAUGHT_OF_REINVIGORATION]
      [USE_MATERIAL_TEMPLATE:PLANT_ALCOHOL_TEMPLATE]
      [STATE_NAME_ADJ:ALL_SOLID:frozen draught of reinvigoration]
      [STATE_NAME_ADJ:LIQUID:draught of reinvigoration]
      [STATE_NAME_ADJ:GAS:boiling draught of reinvigoration]
      [MATERIAL_VALUE:10]
      [DISPLAY_COLOR:5:0:0]
      [EDIBLE_RAW]
      [PREFIX:NONE]
      [SYNDROME]
         [SYN_NAME:draught of reinvigoration]
         [SYN_AFFECTED_CLASS:GENERAL_POISON]
         [SYN_IMMUNE_CREATURE:RATTLESNAKE:ALL]
         [SYN_INJECTED]
         [CE_ADD_TAG:NO_EAT:NO_DRINK:NO_SLEEP:START:0:END:5]
You'll want the reaction to create that as a DRINK item. The rest is fine, except that you want SYN_INGESTED rather than SYN_INJECTED (since it's being drunk). You may not want rattlesnakes to be immune to it, either. Water is a material.
