Turns out the wasps just love their poisons, maybe have aforementioned slug/snake (Ahh the wonders of crosssbreeding... WAIT WHAT!) could have a natural ability of shooting poison spikes, RWBY style (Nevermores i think they were there. except we're using a snake/slug crossbreed. How does that even work?)

Also scorpions

thank you for filling my mind with mental images of hot slug-on-snake action :) i'll see what i can do about the spikes. what's the RWBY?

scorpions... i like it, i could see wasp people using giant scorpions as mounts or simply war animals. we can make their chitin copper grade hard and turn them into expensive powerhouses. and then give them a building to process chitin into armor/ various goods.

Whats the RWBY?

Link
no worries about the slugsnakes

Again, what skill does the ranged attack on the staff use? bowwasp?
Similar note, you've got to make profession names, because at the momment it's (skill)man

sure, for now i'm counting:

-2 new building
-profession names
-2 new pets and changes to the old ones
-an overhaul to the reproduction system

i don't know if i'll be able to start working today, but i might start tomorrow. anyway, they will definitely take a while

And wont that being a pikeman (by the game) try and force into melee combat?

what do you mean?

there was a bug report where the units that were titled as melee units always tried to go straight into melee even when given a crossbow and a full quiver

Maybe make it use the bowman skill and rename the bowman skill into "ranger" I know it conflicts with the civilian skill, or what about "rangewasp"

And also, is it possible to change the caste based on noble positions?

crossbow it is,then.it would be silly for the bowman and the slinger to be represented by the same skill, and the wasps don't use crossbow which means it isn't that much of an issue

no

The hornet bees need to bee (haha) war/hunt trainable

And the spiders and worm things need to lay eggs

The human slave description says it was captured by the GNOMES

Bullets are too weak. A squad of 4 has already exhausted over 300 on a coral snake and i only got a single "tearing the fat"

Another PM by meph. He says the manual looks good and wants to know how many buildings and reactions there are.
We've got approximately 2 months to get an official release in.

i think the bees already are trainable.the eggs are very easy to mod, and so is fixing a typo. Balancing the bullets is more delicate work,but still fairly simple.

i'm glad he likes it.2 months should be more than enough.i'm writing from a phone,I'll count the buildings and the reactions tomorrow.and i will start working on the other features we discussed.

The hornet bees are not wartrainable or hunttrainable and seem to cause waspsplosions often. Running at five of the animal screens in the z menu, I get 150 (50) fps

now they are. i uploaded a new update. i made most of their animals egg layers, and added the slugsnake and the scorpion.the scorpion is 2/5 the size of a horse with a nasty venom and a chitin that should be harder than average, and the slugsnake is their second mount/wagon puller. it is a bit smaller than a horse and has a venom similar to a cobra. i also fixed the typo. i would like to know how they fare against other creatures.

did you check both blunt and sharp bullets, by the way? i'm currently working on the building, but before i move on to the reproduction system, the bullets and the manual will be the next in line so i need to know.

ok, i ran a few checks and i noticed that they can indeed only bruise. i'll see what i can do.

the good news are, i uploaded the new buildings. i also added a new set of reactions to the wood pulper to turn paper cement into a quintessential material instead of a gimmick. i also put profession names, and made the poisonous animals able to be milked for the poison, and the wasps immune to most poisons.

as always, the upload is in the usual link. so that means i'll have to do the (gulp) reproduction rewrite...

Hey! I'm doing the reproduction rewrite >:(

I joke, I joke, I joke  :D

But seriously I am doing the reproduction rewrite don't worry about it. Rest for a bit

Remember that time when we both did the creature files. Not letting that happen again.

I hope I'm not too late
