{DISCLAIMER: ENTIRELY USELESS}

Basically, I removed all the wagon puller tags from the raws. Then put one on the object: wagon.

Currently starting a fort to see what happens. Anyone know:

-What will happen: logical answers, you've tried this yourself, etc
-How to get the merchants to come sooner: a forcewagon command? Via DFhack.
-Any other ways I can get a wagon, outside of waiting and DFhack.

Will update with results, whatever happens.

Actually, I think some of this was my inspiration.

Update: loving the FPS on a 1x1 embark. Pity about the putrid muck and the beak dogs that attacked immediately, but they're all dead now, along with all the animals and 4 dwarves. This is fun, but I can't wait to see the wagon.

[NJW2000]

Hmm, malachite, human wagon might come any minute. Weird stuff is already happening, as my dwarves won't use the axes that have shed blood (all of them, apparently ) to chop the living wood, while trees float held up only by the leaves of other trees over the catacombs, and the lungfish have started visiting.

[NJW2000]

Welp, its happening. The outpost liason and a caravn has arrived, according to the announcements. Why is everything covered in putrid muck? Why, knowing this, have I decided to put everything except the catacombs and bedroom in the open? And why do I have a loaded ballista facing whatever is about to come onto the map?

 

Anyways....
Nope, didn't work, they just brought nothing. Obviously wagons aren't domestic animals. Oh well, I'll just shoot them when they leave.

You can do this, but only the actual wagon will be a 3x3 wagon, pulled by two 1-tile wagon creatures. These have a wooden body and 4 wheels (legs/feet) that can be cut off.

[NJW2000]

So that would involve modding in your own creature, right?

I wondered about putting wagons in the creature_doemstic folder, but if they were in there, wouldn't it be impossible to have them in the creature_equipment folder, meaning that nobody would have wagons to pull stuff in the first place?

You could of course copy the raws over, but that wuold be raw duplication.

Or could you make your own creature with[BODY:WAGON] and [EQUIPMENT_WAGON], but would that not work?

The names of raw files are completely irrelevant - when you create a new creature, you can put it in any file you want (or even in a brand new file) and the game won't behave any differently. You can even rename all of the existing raw files and the game still won't care as long (as you generate a new world first, of course).

Ah, thanks. Can tell the science on wagons is pretty overdone, but I might keep going with this. Still wish I didn't have to wait so long... hey, I can remove the FPS limit!

[Halnoth]

why dont you just change the dwarf season from autumn to spring? that ought to get the wagons to show up sooner

[NJW2000]

Thanks, that will make things...much faster.

[Meph]

Even faster: type into dfhack

Done. Caravan in 5 seconds after embark.

[NJW2000]

Very useful, thanks.

Before I bother trying, anyone know what [BODY:WAGON] and [EQUIPMENT_WAGON] do?

[Lymia]

[BODY:WAGON] is a normal body plan tag, like [BODY:HUMANOID]. There's a WAGON body defined n body_default.txt. I presume [EQUIPMENT_WAGON] makes the wagon a wagon.

[NJW2000]

Great, trying stuff out soon.
