The file's in a state where it would be a lot of work to revert back to whatever it was, so anything will have to wait until ive confirmed all my changes are working properly and upload a new version. That said, I'm not too keen on managing multiple versions of the mod either, unless they make large-scale changes. One creature edit isnt really enough to justify that.

However, how does the idea of making this change whenever you upload the next planned update sound?

On a similar line of thought - why is it that the new bogeymen you added in this mod have their NIGHT_CREATURE_BOGEYMAN tag commented out?

Ah, there had been an issue with one of them that was causing a crash, and I forgot to restore them. I'll do that now!

As for the vampire, im going to keep the current version of it in the mod. I'll make you a duplicate you can download without the megabeast tag.

Did you forget to actually upload the fix? I'm looking at the DFFD page for this mod many hours after you posted that, and I don't see an update for it.

Sorry for locking the topic there I must have pressed the button by accident. Should really have a confirmation pop up before proceeding there haha

I have updated the mod. There might be some further bug fixes and finalizations after this, but this will be the last major update for the current version of DF. My plan is to figure out how to do some basic graphics and upload future updates for the Classic and Premium versions of the steam release once that becomes possible.

Came back to this mod after 4 years and man, can't believe it's still updated and worked on! Big thanks, i've had the most fun with this mod so far.

That being said, dust bunnies just scared the SHIT out of me. Going to keep one chained at the entrance of my fort as a thief deterrent now, that dust/hair attack is no joke

Thank you I really appreciate that!

The dust bunnies are fairly dangerous for their size, the caverns are a scary place for little critters after all. Would recommend marksdwarves.

Pardon me if this info is available elsewhere, but is there any other documentation around the stuff you can make with the enchanting table? I kinda want to make a squad of wizards and deck 'em out with staves, but I'm not sure on the mechanics of the wand/staves.

In terms of how you use them, they're just like crossbows or bows. You just need to assign your squad to wield them, and make sure they have charges, not bolts, as ammunition. And you need to make those charges.

In terms of effectiveness they should be similar to a crossbow as a ranged weapon.

Oh sweet, do they have special effects or are they basically just reskinned crossbows? Either way, I'm planning on making an isolated barrack for my wizards and dropping essence enriched food in via a chute, so they'll fighting spicily regardless.
