Eggs and unusual eggs are also mutually exclusive.

[BlackFlyme]

Can you make a creature HATEABLE without making it a vermin?

You can add the hateable tag to a non-vermin creature, but aside from a mention in preferences, it has no effect on a creature's thoughts. At least, it did last time I checked.

So for example, a Dwarf could absolutely detest Elves, but not actually get a bad thought when around them like they do with vermin.

Thats.... how will an unusual eggs creature reproduce then?

[Managrimm]

Hmm, okay. Thanks!

Other question. I have a transformation syndrome interaction I was testing with no usage hint because the token said that if no usage hint was available it'd use it on the first available target. The target is itself. I was hoping it'd use the interaction immediately on itself, but in arena that doesn't seem to be the case. They all just mull around. When I turn off Encounter mode and start a fight, however, all the creatures immediately transform despite it not being a combat interaction.

My eventual intention was that they'd use the interaction immediately in your fort which starts a timer until they transform to their next stage, but for some reason they don't seem to do the interaction automatically.

EDIT: Actually, it did do the interaction after a little while when it was by itself and no other neutral units were nearby. Further testing revealed that when they're all on the same team (they were Independent before but in Encounter mode) they activate it soon after spawning. I'm guessing they just won't do it when neutral units are near them for some reason. I'm a little concerned this might make them never use it as wild animals, but I'll have to see.

It may be possible to have multiple castes, where one of them lays regular eggs. Someone please confirm, though.

[BlackFlyme]

Egg laying and unusual egg laying are two different tags which work on the caste-level, and not on a creature-wide-level. So yes.

If the tags were not caste-specific, then all egg laying creatures would have every caste lay eggs, regardless of gender.

A rooster lays an egg on the top of a Gable roof. Which side of the roof does the egg roll down?

[Managrimm]

I see there are interactions for cleaning other creatures. Is it possible to make an interaction that will make a pet creature clean surfaces? Such as when there's blood all over the floor?

[BlackFlyme]

Creatures will only clean other creatures with interactions, to my knowledge.

[peasant cretin]

Is there a way to have a position filled by a specific profession? Or is this caste only?

[BlackFlyme]

Race, Gender, Caste, or Creature Class specific only.

[Managrimm]

Is it possible to induce fear with an interaction or syndrome?

[Boltgun]

Is it possible to induce fear with an interaction or syndrome?

Not yet, this will be possible in the next version of DF.

[Bearskie]

Hmm... is there any way to get a creature to >20 tiles LOS? I've tried VIEWRANGE, but setting it higher doesn't seem to have any effect. I'd like them to do some long-range fireball bombardment (which has a range of about 50 tiles), but they cant even see the target, let alone fire on it.

[Managrimm]

If I set a creature to be [FLEEQUICK] will giving it war or hunting training properly change its AI?

Thanks BlackFlyme. Another item for the modding wishlist!
