Actually, the problem was that it wasn't producing any stakes, which lead me to assume there was some sort of problem to begin with. Hopefully now it'll be fixed. Just wanted to check in before I go testing things.

Time to gen up a new world. Sort of a shame, since I had a really good one too...

Actually if im not mistaken, i think reactions can be changed during the game as long as you save and re-enter. I remember hearing about that once. Just starting a new world to be sure though would be helpful.

The size of the log to the size of the stakes might have been a issue. Is there anything on your error log?

Nothing pertinent to the reactions. It was just complaining about some outdated adventure-related tags and a couple typos in one of the castes.

Okay Fantasticdorf, I just tested your suggestion, and you need

Code: [Select]

[ITEMCORPSE:HELM:MASK:INORGANIC:BRONZE]instead of armor.
And also thank you for the Colossus tissue idea.

Whoops. Knew it was something like that. No problem.

In hindsight you might want to supply a variant of bronze (with a higher melting point) in the case that the fireballs it ejects melts itself, also would make the mask more unique and valuable.

Actually, the bronze is fine from the fireball naturally, and I figured that since dwarves can't normally obtain fitting masks outside of moods it was valuable enough already.

The above reactions seem to work fine apart from using too much charcoal - 2 instead of just one as intended. I'm also unsure if the copper bar is being consumed or not. The below, however, I'm unsure if they're working right. They're taking the right materials, but I didn't get any weapons back.

[scamtank]

Get rid of reagent B:s in the A-reactions. They're pulling double duty with the [FUEL] tag. As for the copper thing, the reactions are using only 1/150th of a bar each time. Notice how reagent B calls for 150 coal, not 1?

The B-reactions should be okay. Are all those new weapons themselves defined right?

[overseer05-15]

Is it possible to add new furniture to the game now? I think I read something confirming that, but now I can't find the thread and I have no idea how to go about doing this.

[FantasticDorf]

That is in relevance i think to item tools being classed as [FURNITURE], there are no distinct availibilties to mod in new actual furniture types in line with beds and boxes.

However you can mod in existing furniture types (etc a statue, table, box etc.) to be made out of custom materials in workshop reactions, though it'll retain the base name of the base furniture.

A cloth coffin will still be a coffin, while a metal coffin is a sarcophagus etc.

[FantasticDorf]

Do you actually have a body part plan defined for your [body:Trex]? That might lie with the problem of it not physically manifesting. Try looking through the error log.

You can find the existing body parts relevant to those tokens inside 'body default', so your creature for T-rex and other tyrannosaurs/bipedal upright creatures connect in the right places off the same plan for that branch of dinosaur if you so choose. And if you have already done this, we'd like to see your T-rex (and tissue ideally) template if you could show us just to clarify if the game is having a easy time reading the raws but a harder time understanding what is demanded of the creature to manifest physically.

• It does not have a max-age despite having a maximum growth pattern of 1000 years = 300000, that is a oversight, seems a bit copy and pasted from dragons if you dont mind me making the remark.

Otherwise that's a very nice (if a tad overpowered, you might want to set it to a semi-megabeast so there are more of them in the world to actually simulate a population rather than a small handful that die out unless that 1000 year lifespan comes into play) creature design you have there to use. Ungainly huge and bloodthirsty (not to mention also rare) dinosaur.

Where you have 'gone wrong' is that you've tried to umberella term giant cave spiders to a template that can't take them and make them usable in the desired way. The animal men templates are meant to be applied to savage biomes (as on the bottom of the variation code), and in this respect you can see in the raws for the subterrean that all animal men created below ground were done by hand. There are no savage biomes underground so its a little borked.

Doing this amphromorphisation of giant cave spiders lends itself to a number of creative avenues, you could create anything from nerubians (if you get the WoW reference) to spider-centaurians (people with the lowerbody of a spider, bodyglossed with abdomen and the upper 2 armed body of a human) etc. Whatever you wish as long as it anatomically and functionally works.

The first half of  what you were doing prior to the creature variational token was entirely correct (if you want to identify it as 'man' anyway rather than a intelligent creature like a trogg/troll), i recommend asking further questions and doing a little research into making your own body types, so you can shortcut a template quickly for your giant cave spider, then tweak the size/relative sizes.
