Hmm...
I'm sure you want it to not be cheaty and have it assigned to a workshop...
I have no idea.
If you want to prevent it from being used in fort mode, create a custom workshop that all entities can build, but make sure that workshop is more or less impossible to build (requires a slade sock or something).
Was hoping to avoid that. The other option is to add it to a workshop, but have an impossible reagent.

Cheers.

In the previous version you could assign it to a building and then just not give the entity the PERMITTED_BUILDING, and they would still have the metals. You could try that.
Much better than my idea.  Hopefully that still works.

Looks like kobold cave is a bust without switching them to live births. Oh well, they're a bit boring anyway.

Was looking up some stuff to mod my own flavor of Kobold Camp while thinking of that exact topic. Yeah, it looks like egg laying civs aren't a walk in the park. As much as I like the idea of monotreme kobolds, they're going to have to go mainstream mammal for now.

My version are going to be swamp dwellers with mud hut towns.

Ok, So I'm wanting to make an creature that is structurally weak, but explodes into a chemical spray that disintegrates most materials to discourage attacks.

I have an idea for how I want it's body set up, but how do I go about creating the chemical explodiness upon being damage?

I don't think you can do the material damage part. You can do damage to creatures though. Just give them an item corpse that's an evaporating boulder with a syndrome.

Or just create workshop and do not give access for entity to it? Just access to reaction..

Or just not have a building at all.

I know that you can have a creature that contains a layer of tissue that is a gas/liquid so I was thinking more of having the Steam insta-kill anything within a small radius.

Can I have the gas/liquid leave a glob or somthing within that radius called acid or something and have it cause pain and necrosis?

You could make the creature's blood cause syndromes to anything it touches that isn't the creature, yeah. Not sure about the gas tissue layer. If the gas tissue works you could have both the gas and the blood inflict the same syndromes.

What about making the creature's blood evaporate at room temperature and have the blood inflict syndromes upon ingestion as well as contact? Never tried it myself, but in theory it sounds like it'd work. That way when the creature is hit and it bleeds the blood evaporates immediately. AFAIK it should create a mist cloud similar to forgotten beast dust clouds. Or the creature's blood could evaporate instantly and explode the creature. As I said, I never tried this trick out myself.

Take a look at the iron man's raws for how to get gas under tissue. Make the gas have some kind of awful syndrome and make it insanely super hot to melt anything it touches.

As Soon as I get the creature made I will post it here.


Also, I've noticed that if you make a necromancer surrender through intimidation, the zombies that follow it don't attack you.

This was tested at a Necromancer's tower, so it could be something else. Any ideas?

Yes... Yes you can >.> Just make the chemicals freezing and they'll damage materials, as well as cause harm..

How would I go about preventing shields from being made of specific materials? Like, only allowing a shield to be made out of metal?
