The fledgling scraw (or at least the incorporeal idea of it), freshly banished from this realm, looked up into the bosom of its master -- the god Dorisdwarf. It then croaked with a barely audible voice:
"What is life."


AW HELL, Screatures don't have their tissues defined either. Going to leave that to you Cerapter, it's just a simple matter of inserting the args that the bp_detail_plan calls for.

[Bearskie]

Hey Urd, remember when you changed all the material's colddam points to 10000?

Turns out adventure mode has some pretty wide temperature fluctuations (this was in a warm region).
It gets even worse when you go further north into the temperate regions.

And I'm pretty sure everything freezes to death in the night, myself included.

[Cerapter]

Hey Urd, remember when you changed all the material's colddam points to 10000?

Wait, what, when did this happen?
I mean, now that I'm checking the raws, it DID happen, but why?

The lowest survivable temperature just went from 9900 Ů (-56 °C / -68.8 Fahrenheit) to 10000 Ů (0 °C / 32 Fahrenheit).
This sounds like some typo due to copying to me.

EDIT: Misread a line. There seems to be no problem with the raws! Then what's going on?

EDIT2: I forgot to download the latest version. So I was right in a way. So I ask, why did this happen again?

[Bearskie]

It was an unsaid change; Urd pm-ed me about it and I just shrugged it off, since it didn't make much of a difference. Probably best to wait for him to wake up later.

I've been playtesting, and made little fixes to the files as I go along. Passing them to you, since you're in charge of the save right now.

Spoiler: Here you go (click to show/hide)

Added [TRAINABLE_HUNTING] + [TRAINABLE_WAR] to aardips
Added EYES_2_BSK to aardip body
Added SKULL_BSK to aardip body
Fixed tissue layering in screatures - Inserted the relevant ARGS that the body detail plan calls for
Added [ATTACK_FLAG_EDGE] + [ATTACK_PENETRATION_PERC:20] to aardip's peck attack
Changed aardip's gore attack [ATTACK_CONTACT_PERC: ___ ] from 70 to 100
Typo: Hunting mantis [PROFESSION_NAME:WRESTLER:___] singular should be 'apprentice' not 'apprentices'
Added [CDI:WAIT_PERIOD:300] into [CAN_DO_INTERACTION:RAISE_CORAL_BSK] for corazoid
Removed [VERMIN_HATEABLE] from spindlewebs
Removed [CDI:TARGET:A:SELF_ONLY] from [CAN_DO_INTERACTION:MANTIS_HUNTING_BSK] for hunting mantis
Changed seed material template (Bsk) [MATERIAL_VALUE:2] previously 1
Added [WEAPON:ITEM_WEAPON_HATCHET_BSK] to water troll Entity

[Urdothor]

I hadn't realised that the temperatures in adventure mode fluctuated so much. I'd changed the temperature because even in colder regions, I'd never really had much issue with frostbite and figured it would be an interesting change. We can change it back though. There's 2 places where it needs to be changed, my 2 organic template files.

Edit: I see the problem. I looked at the temperature scale on the wiki, and instead of grabbing the Outside, freezing climate (varies) value of 9960 somehow read the value of 10000. Whoops.

Edit2: Any encounters with phoenixes?They're only half done(The bird half), but I'm curious.

[Bearskie]

AAAAAAAAAHHHHHHH!!



WHATS HAPPENING



GUYS YOU HAVE TO SEE THIS

SAAAAAAAAAVE

What the heck? One, what's happening with all the water?
Two, what the heck is all that pink to the left?

1. I 'unno.
2. Sakura trees.

[Urdothor]

There appears to be a small ocean of sakura trees.

[Bearskie]

Spoiler: Sakura blossoms (click to show/hide)

Spoiler: It is now summer. (click to show/hide)

[Cerapter]

Eh, I embarked in a desert once. More sakura trees than sand particles.

Though the BIOME:ANY_LAND thing is temporary.

When I said I missed my pink trees I didn't mean I wanted them all to be pink.   

So, aside from designing the antagonist entity, who I've decided to name the Skakavacs, I'm also redesigning how I'm doing my pangolin entity.
Originally I was going to have two castes that were actual reproductive male and female, and they were going to be rare, and incapable of defending themselves, and have a genderless caste that took care of actually defending them. I've decided to do the same thing, but instead of having the caste be genderless, its instead going to be a species that is incapable of self-defense so they magically alter the genetic makeup of a special pet species I'm making in numerous different ways for different purposes.

~Transforming them to defend themselves
~Transforming them into an edible species
~Transforming them into a creature that can be milked, and that "Milk" can be transformed into building blocks
~Etc.

Literally depending on the ability to transform this species magically.

[Bearskie]

How're you going to control the transforming part?

[Urdothor]

How're you going to control the transforming part?

A boiling stone reaction from a custom workshop where the creature to be transformed will be tethered(or pastured) nearby.
Of course, that results in all creatures nearby transforming, so I might attempt to give the person doing the reaction a temporary syndrome bestowing an interaction to make one shapeshifter creature transform.
I'll play around with it.

Edit: I'm going to try to balance it to where all the transformations are only good for their one role, and the entity entirely depends on that creature for that purpose.

[Baffler]

You could also make it depend on creature class, with those and their transformed versions being the only members of the group. That way you don't have to worry about your animal caretaker turning into a goat.

And it warms my heart to see vermillion trees poking through like islands on the sea of pink. I'm really liking that color scheme too.
