What is the Minimum you need for an Entity [Answered]
« on: January 20, 2015, 02:51:27 pm »

   I am looking into Entity modding and I want to know what the minimum is to make it "work". In this case work just means the game doesn't crash and places the civ, I don't care if they do anything at all. Basically I want a good start point I can build upon.

Edit: Many thanks to Deon for providing the answer

[ENTITY:ADVENTURE]
   [ADVENTURE_TIER:80]
   [INDIV_CONTROLLABLE]
   [CREATURE:DWARF]
   [TRANSLATION:DWARF]

This alone is enough to make it "work", it will make the creature appear as possible "outsider". If you remove INDIV_CONTROLLABLE and ADVENTURE_TIER it will still work, but you won't be able to see it in the game anywhere.

So it seems I accidentally put my canteen in my wheelbarrow and didn't notice... and then I got really thirsty... so right before going to sleep I go to take a swig from my canteen and... end up snorting a line of low-grade meth.

Just copy the dwarf entity into a new file and edit it until you get what you want.

Its a feature. Impregnating booze is a planned tech tree for dwarves and this is a sneak peek at it.
