what is the maximum size for a creature?

[Sergarr]

what is the maximum size for a creature?

I'd guess ~2 billion, but ask Putnam to be sure.

[Roses]

2,147,483,647

[Putnam]

Yeah, that'd be the assumption, but I think it may actually be capped at perhaps half that or thereabouts...

[Lightningy]

thx. i find it funny how this game handles creature size. all creatures no matter how small or big occupy the same space. when you think of it a bronze colossus should be invincible to humans. swords are more like thumb pins and spears are like regular pins. but i guess size is more a representation of mass or density (70000 per tile) rather than (700000 meters^3)

[edit] how did you find out that value to begin with. it is incredible specific

[Knight Otu]

If this link is accurate, the max size for raw creatures is 100,000,000. 2,147,483,647 is a limit that comes from variable types. (((2^32)/2)-1)
Also, body size is a volume - it is in cm^3. For standard material creatures, you can sort of substitute weight (grams).

Is there any way to change the number of starting dwarves?

I did not know that... I wonder what can be done, if anything, to alter the cap of 100,000,000.

Except for wagons.

[TomiTapio]

I picture the tiles as being around 2.3m cubes.     Based the OldGenesis custom trees on that, about 30m tree / (2.3m/tile) = 13 tiles tall. (vanilla's trees range from 1-8 tiles tall)
Then the Wagon would be like... at least 5.6m wide, 5.6m long.

What's the best way to limit a powerful civilization's population growth? Long childhood, or filler male castes, or other? (Demon civ a bit strong in OldGenesis, should be fewer than goblins)

[Mephansteras]

Biggest value in the raws (calculated) is 200,000,000 for the Giant Sperm Whale. Haven't tried making anything bigger then that, but you may be correct.

[Meph]

I would like a civ member not to chicken out and stop moving when he has a broken bone. Is there any way to do that? Even with NOFEAR they just stay in place until the bodypart got a splint/cast. And I think even very high healing rates on bones wont help.

[TheFlame52]

What ORIENTATION tags will prevent a creature (demons) from breeding in worldgen? Does the tag affect worldgen at all? This is what I have:

   [ORIENTATION:MALE:0:0:1]
   [ORIENTATION:FEMALE:0:0:1]

They are in the demons' general raws, not under any caste.

[Putnam]

You want the exact opposite, 1:0:0
