More idiopathic crashing as I have to leave to do some work. Before it started acting up I managed to add 4 new trees and 3 types of grass, all found in broadleaf forests. I also added a new aboveground crop, but I'm having problems getting the milling reaction to work. Grasslands, shrublands, and savannas are next on the agenda.

Nice, so you're doing a plant arc kinda thing.

Oh, I like the portal/ateway one.

E: do we have it? Notepad says it isnt an ANSI symbol

It's in the Extended ASCII set, so maybe notepad doesn't have it because it's limited in its capabilities? I looked at the character table here:

I see. But yeah, definitely ∩ or Ω

It showed up!
Just put down the number, 239.

Sorry to interupt, but can someone help with the Wiki? I've been trying to add stuff to it, but I can barely keep up with what's going on at the moment, let alone update the wiki.

I will attempt to help with the wiki.

I don't care if you can only add one or two things here or there, that's still helping

Seriously though, the raws are looking increasingly scary to scan through to find descriptions and stuff.

It only gets !!Scarier!!

AHHHHH RUN THERE'S TOO MANY RAW FILES AHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1!111!!!!1!1!

Edit: So adventuring is surprisingly mundane at the moment. I know it's not exactly the main focus of anything, but it is not interesting. So far Mantises just hang out in trees for days on end talking, normally leading to someone starving to death. Haven't met any water trolls.

Speaking of which, I just noticed the mantises default site type is TREE_CITY, yet they prefer to start in desert-y areas.

[chaotic skies]

That's odd. I've only ever seen them in forests, but then, I've been genning worlds with low savagery and low beasts, so who knows

[Cerapter]

Another strange thing.

I just noticed that unlike in vanilla, it is almost, if not totally, impossible to die due to the heat in scorching areas. Fat in vanilla melts at 10078 °U, some scorching territories can reach roughly 10080 °U (can go higher or lower), but here in DFFS III, fat melts at 10100 °U. In both versions, fat is the first thing to melt on a creature's body.

Yes, this means that sometimes, water evaporates right next to a creature when it feels mildly inconvenienced by the heat, though this is not THAT likely. During testing, I mostly saw it happen with 1-2 level high water, and even then, at one-two spots in a river. Tested by setting weather to magma in arena, evaporating all water, then setting it down to scorching, placing creatures, and watching both them and the water.

Drop the temperature, maybe?

I guess, though then I'll somehow have to stop them milky hoppers from burning up.

What does the [HOMOEOTHERM] tag do, anyways?

I beleieve it sets a creature to always have a certain body temperature
