Hi, my plan is to make a 1 creature race for use in adventure mode. What I have done is deleting all placement tokens from the entity, but there still pop up civilizations of that race. Does anyone know how to prevent the world-gen spawning?

You could add in the carnivore tag, o that they'll die out immediately.

you can just stop them spawning by not adding (or adding 0) start civ numbers. or maybe no starting bioms will do the trick too.

As I mentioned earlier, I removed all placement tokens so they don't have any biome modifiers: Already tried the different population tokens which had no effect. But as I mentioned earlier adding the carnivore token prevented them from spawning even though they had noeat token.

Remove the entity raws. Easy. Don't worry about biomes or whatever. That's just unnecessary complications.

Im at work so i can't confirm this, but i /think/ that if you make an entity file with ONLY [INDIV_CONTROLLABLE] in it, it should work.

The whole point is to be able to play as them. Removing the entity raws wouldn't allow you to play as them.

As I keep saying, adding the carnivore token did it. my outsider adventurer is the only 1 but i have yet to observe any issue with the carnivore and the noeat token on the same creature.

Ok ok  :P.

So we should be able to make maps with no sentients by making everyone a carnivore, then adding biome level interaction for all biomes to change everyone back to normal afterwards for gameplay  8).

Hopefully that will make it so that we can restart all of the dead civilizations as both forts and adventurers. It remains to be seen if recreated entities can then spawn adventurers from their sites directly as apposed to just wanderers..

Now I wonder how the retired forts would work... Wouldn't they starve out as soon as you retire them? Because at that point they would become just like world-gen villages, which starve out.
