creating creatures with workshoops?
« on: January 22, 2017, 03:04:04 am »

I'm creating some things based on Magic: The Gathering Artifact creatures, and I was wondering if there was a way I could make a building (Probably a large one, is 7x7 possible?), to create my creatures, and reactions. Is there a way yet?

Make reaction that makes a boulder that turns to gas at room temperature. Have this gas carry a syndrome that turns people into what you wish. Bam. Done. It's simpler than it should be and harder than it sounds.

Not what I meant! I want to CREATE creatures, not turn my creatures into other creatures! Most of what im making are nonsentient things, like ornithopters, or a Darksteel Colossus

Then your answer is DFHack, which will be much harder to do. Even the dudes at Masterwork just use the way I mentioned cause it's not worth the headache.

Why not just do the syndrome thing? Make the regeants large amounts of coins and use it on something unimportant like kittens and it's like buying them. Also, as common domestic everyone will have them, not just you.

No. You can pasture them nearby so the gas effects them while making dwarves immune.
